Now we as-k any man whose mind is

in great fe.tr of souivthiu, and were
endeavoring to hastily and as secretly
as possible make their way "tward.
the southern and western portions of
Nebraska." Their numerous friends
throughout the Territory fear some ac

the hope it may meet the i-ye of the
wanderers; Maj. Ralcome has tele
graphed "touarda" th section vl

Senator Thayer, Col. Irish and Col.
Mason are all engaged in scouring the
country in the hope of getting some
clue to their whereabouts. We are
inclined to the belief that they are n

standing cf it, you are certainly in the
dark. Why is it that they of the Sjuih
are in such a great hurry all a: once to
b represented in Congress ! Did not
theystny away for five years of their
own accord ? And would it he such n
very gre.it hardship and injustice fur
them to wait un'il their tlilT- rent Sir.l-'
Legislatures could meet ar;J pass tbe
Constitutional Amendment ? Ah! but
there's the rub." They want fo come

glory. They want to be abl to say to
the northern soldiery "you had th ad
vantage when you whipped us on the

witild have it? Why, one rebel goer

diers! Yes. or two Copperheads, either!!
Do you ask why or how ihry would b
equal? Well.it is the' simplest limn:
in the world. The voters in the South
would vote for themselves and then for
the negroes; or in other words, they are
to entitled the tame representation for
the four millions negroes who live th -re
that four millions of white voters in the
North h.ive--not four millions of lie

The only possible way it could be tor
tured into uriy such construction would
bo on the ptiri'.-iple that the Southern
Sta'es would ive them the franchise
rather than not have the power which
that increased representation would uf
ford them. Let thoughtful men mark

such doctrines, and let them be called
upon for the proof of their assertion.

The third section of the Constiiu-
lonal Amendment proposed by the
39ih Congress, says:
No per.in shall b a Senamr or
Representative in Congress, r elector
of President, or hold any office, civil
or military, under the United States,
or any Siate, who having previously
taken an oath. a a member of C on
grrss. or a an n(ficr f the United
State., or as a member of any State
Legislature, or an executive or judi
cial officer of any Stat-, to support the
Constitution of the United States, shall
have engaged in insurrection or rebel
lion Bcainst the same, or given aid or
comfort to the enemies thereof. Rut
Congress may by a vote of two-thirds
of each House, remove sucri disability.
i
Now. what is there wrong about tin
clause? Is there a loyal man who
would ask less than this? Does Mor
ton, the copperhend candidate for Con
gress, say that this clause is unjust?
Let us see what "My Policy" and its
supporters say in relation to this matter.
They say that if a man is pardoned he
is loyai ; and A. Johnson says . that
whenever 'oyal meu (or such at he
has seen fit lo pardon) are sent to Con
gres they r;ii.-&7 be admitted to seats.
Under tin- rule Jrff Daiis could be in
ttie United Siatrs Senate at its next
se.-sion. AH thai is necessary is fur
Johnson to grant him a pardon and for
the Legislature of his S atn to elect
htm. We ask in the name of common
honesty, is. this a safe policy lo rest the
destinies of this nation upon? A pol
icy winch does not allow one particle
of power to the legislative department
of the government, but makes th" Ex
ecutive an ab-clute dictator. Th en
dTseme:H of this policy would brir.o
every lending relel back into Congress
or, at least, woul I deprive the law

6ECKDINC STATES BECOME TERRITORIES.
"Uui, sir, there is another question
liiat suggests itself in this connection.
Kansas, during the last Congress, np
plied for admission into the Union.
She assumed to Ue a State, and the dif
fi' uhy m her way v as a prevision in
her -Jonstituuon and tin; manner of its
ndopiion. We did not let Kansas in.
We did question h'r being a State;
but on account of th' manner of form
ing her Constitution and its provisions
we kept Kansas out. What is Kansas
now ? Is d)e a Sta'.e or is she a Ter
ntorj? Does she revert back to her
Territorial conauion of punnage? Or.
having been a State, and . having ap
plied for admission and ben refused,
is she standing out a State? You holl
her as a Territory; you hold hrr as a
province. You pretence the made of
electing Iht rr:e ubers of her Lgis!a
ture, and pay them out cf your own
treasury. Yes, she is a province con
trolled by Federal authority, and her
laws are m ide iu conformity with the
ads of Congress. Is she not a Ter
ritory? I think that he is.
Suppo.-e the State of California withdraw-
from thu Union. We admit ed
her. She was territory acquired by
the United State, by our blood and
treasure. Now suppose she withdraw.-1
from ihe Confederacy; doe she pass
back into a territorial condition, remain
and every hing !n the li-.e.
