Rep. County Com.
IS IT SO ?
The Omaha Republican &arge than
A. J. Foppleton, the Democratic Can
didata for Congress, was formerly a
member of the Know No'hing order.
We have seen no denial of this in
Democratic prints, and therefore con
eluded that the charge is too true. How
do you like him, foreign born citizens?
Wehaveno doubt Poppleton wasplaced
on the "catch" ticket to catch the for'
eign vote as Porter was to catch the sol
diers vote and we have no doubt they
will both ' catch" it.
HOW 19 IT ?
We learn from good authority that
the Domination of J. R. Porter on tne
Democratic.ticket was secured by rep
resentations to members of the conven
tion that he could carry a large Re
publican vote in this county, in eonse
quence of some disaffection which was
said to exist; and we know that it is
boldly claimed by democrat Lor that
he will receive a large Republican
vote. No iv, all we have to say is this;
if J. R. Porter is never elected Gov
ernor of Nebraska until it is done by
Republican rotes in Cass county, he wiH
be a very old man before taking the
gubernatorial chair.
We are well satisfied that such re
presentations as we have mentioned
are what secured his nomination, and
we are just as well satisfied that no
Republican of Cass or any other county
can vote for a man with such a war
record as J. R. Porter has. It would
ill become the glorious Republican
county of Cass to waver in the fight at
this time. She raised the first com
pany of soldiers in the State to fight for
our common Country; and it would be an
insult to ihe noble dead and heroic living
for any Republican to cast his vote for
one of the fire-in-the rearsquad who
denounced those brave heroes as Lin-
coin hirelings' and 'Hessians. Will
any Republican thus insult the men of
Cass who so nobly faced tbe serried
ranks of Democracy at Shiloh and Don-
aldson? We can almost hear tmv
lover of his country proclaim in deep
and determined tones JVo. "a thousand
times NO!f
FISH Oil FLESH.
Tbe Democratic platform says that
"when the obligations of the Govern
ment do not expressly state upon their
face, or the law under .which they are
issued does not provide that they shall
be paid in coin, they ought, in right
and injustice, to be paid iu ihe airuZ
money of the United Stales. Ah!
there's the rub? That is the knot-hole
through which the copperhead party
expect to crawl, either to the outside or
inside the wall of repudiation, just ac-
cording to which side it is thought moat
prudent to be on. If the locality or the
individual is in favor of repudiation,
then of course "Greenbacks are the
"lawful money" of the United States
If the locality or individual is opposed
to repudiation, nnd has some little res
pect left for the Union and the credit
of the nation, why then of course, th e
Democratic party is a "hard money'
party, and recognizes no trasL" as
'lawful money of the United States
Greenbacks are nothing more than
Lincoln scrip,' Oa this whole ques-
lion of bonds and greenbacks the Dem-
ocratic party is 'neither fih nor flesh,
and din not express" a straight-for-
ward, manly sentiment. It is a 'caid.' dered to b. the irsue of the day.- Akin is ever ready to assist iho-e seek

course is tne KfM uulicail pianorni,
where it is boldly a vowed that tbe bonds
of the Government should be paid in
accordance with the letter and spirit of
the law under which they were issued,
and then haves the question of what
the law is to a judicial decision, where
alone it can be determined, no matter
what platforms may say. The expres-
sion of sentiment on this question by
the Democratic nartv if there is any
expression is ouly significant when
a I
taken in connection with other avowed
principles of the party, which are di-
rectly and distinctly stated. The dis-
persing of the Southern State Govern-J
ments by force, is a distinct proposition
by the Democratic party and it is
about the only distinct proposition laid I
down in their platform as advocated by
the leaders of the party. When they
openly advocate the forcible reiistance
to law in any particular, then the sen-
timent of the party on any question
which affects lisi welfare of the nation
mny well be considered. While the par
t. nlatform is Mall thinars to all men"

SEMMES.
The Pirate of the Alabama, and
great admirer and warm supporter of
Seymour and Blair, was in Washing-
ton on the 3d inst., where he did some I
tall boasting of "the temper of the
Southern Whites," and says they "are
armed to a man, and are anxious to
have Congress send arms down there
so that there might be an outbreak."
Does it require a very acute mind t
discern where a Democratic success
would lead the country? Frank Blair
declares in favor of forcible revolution;
Wade Hampton says the entire New
York Convention pledged themselves
to never cease fighting until the con-
stitution of the Southern States were
restored to what they nAD been up to
the close of the rebellion, and Semmes
declares they, are already armed and
eager for the outbreak only waiting
for sufficient excuse. Many, we might
say most of the people of the United
States supposed the threats made prior
to the rebellion were all 'bosh' and
were only made for political effect.
We doubt not many entertain the same
opinion now in regard to these threats;
but just no sure as the late war existed,
these men mean j ist wnat tney say;
and if the Democratic ticket receives
sufficient support to justify the leaders
in the belief that they can make it suc
cessful, just so sure will they again
make war upon the Government We
know inere are men in tne jorin, as
well as the South, who are anxious to
see a renewal of the rebellion, and we
aiao know that every one of this class
will vote the Denver atic ticket as the
most effective means of securing it.
Reader, are you one of them? Do yon
favor a forcible resistance to your
country's laws and a renewal of the
rebellion? Or are you one of those
who believe the leaders of the Demo
cratic party only make this threat of
war for 'fun?' What kind of men
roust they be who threaten to forcibly
resist the laws without meaning.it, and
what kind of men do they expact to
gain support from by such a course ?
if they do mean forcible lesistance,
every man who supports them, believ-
in such to be their intention, is vol-
iD directly for a resumption of armed
hn.hiiitMK nnmmpnt.

A TIUI" TO LIXCOL
On Wednerday morning 19th ult,
I left Plattsmouth for Lincoln City, in
company with D. W. Amsbary Esq ,
of Florence Neb. I had beard much
of Lincoln and the beautiful tract cf
country through which we passed en
route, and therefore concluded to ob
serve closely that I might know wheath
er it was excitement or reality that
was attracting so much the attention of
1 the business mnn and the farmer.
I We reached Lincoln at a late hour,
and while inquest of n hotel, we were
attracted by a large gathering at the
Stone School House, and upon inquiry
were told that the Democratic Club
Meetmg had just adjourned.
The Publisher of the Commonwealth
commenced singing 'John Brown.'
This displeased the earnest ftw, and
thpy called so I was told for three
cheers for Seymour, which I miL'ht
have heard had it not been for the
singing. From the midst of the crowd
a stentorious voice shouted, 'three
cheers for Gen. Grant," when about
triraa. fi-nrtria f all ftvuvui o uuj; tiien
j hats and cheered, at such a rate, that
if it had not been very exhilarating to
the heart we shauld have defended our
ears. I said to one, there is a mis
take about this; you told me this was
a Democratic meeting; if so why are
they cheering for Grant at that rate?
He replied, "well it is, and they are
here from seven miles around, but a
part of the Grant and Colfax men of
Lincoln are here."
Lincoln is about one and a half miles
east of Salt Creek, on one of nature's
most beautiful sites for a large city.
It can be seen for miles around. It is
building up very rapidly, mostly of
pine buildings, yet some of the largest
business houses are built of stone.
Brick is now being furnished, and
some brick buildings are commenced
The Capitol building is in a south
east direction and about half a mile
from tbe business center; It presents
a fine rppearai ce, and 'is destined to
be a splendid structure.' Its length
when finished will be 123 feet. It is
75 feet wide from the front to the
tower. The main walls are four feet
thick. It has twenty-seven rooms be
side galleries. From base to the top
of the tower will be 120 feet. Joseph
Ward, Esq. the contractor, from whom
I received these particulars, is a very
energetic man. He is pushing the
buildii-.g forward in a very rapid man
ner. He employs from 55 to 60 men
The view ef the various Salt ba;ins
will amply compensate one for bis trou
ble of going out to the Capital. The
land is very productive in this, as well
as our own county.
The vacant lands have all been ta-
Ken around Lincoln lor eint to ten
miles.
Our own county has very flattering
prospects for future wealth. One is
astonished to se the amount of uncul
tivated land yet in Cass County, which
willfnearly all, at-no distant day, be
, c , , . , ,
homes of happiness and wealth; and
yet I was equally astonished when
standing on a rise of ground to take in
one view some 25 to 30 new homes and
openings, where but one or iwo open
ings could be found a year ago.
While in this locality, which is ten
miles south of Ashland and ten west
of Weeping Water Falls, we could noi
resist the temptation to select a future
home. We are under obligations to
Chancey Akin Esq., who took us tothe
choicest lands of that locality. Mr

I was pleased to find the Nebraska

The iVorA and South, a prominent
Democratic journal at Cincinnati, in a

"I will venture to say that not mere
ly in Cincinnati, but throughout Ohio,
not only in Ohio but everywhere west
of the mountains, the coolness wiih
which the nomination of Mr. Seymour
was received by the members of the
party has no parallel in American po
litical history. There are very few
who are not more than dissatisfied; they
are disgusted with the candidate; dis
ffustea witn tne paipaoie incKeryoi
himself and his curporters in New
York. disgusted with the rampant stu-
pidity of ihe Democratic leaders of

knavery."

Democratic nominations. This is pro
per. Seymour will .-te stirs before he
gets through, and Bluir knows alrrady

LLTTta TO l'. p. nL.u:e. Jit
FROM HON. ISAAC N. MORRIS.
To Hon. Francis P Blair.
Sir A few days ago, after the
nontination was made by the Co iven-
tion which assembled in New York on
the 4th mst., I had a conversation in
Washington city with Gen. Cushmg.
of Massachusetts, in which that emi
nent junt and politician said :
The simple question to determine
i i v 1 1 n - . . . -
ae election is. sna.i ueu. uiaut u,
U' - e.l. XJ liU r Kq Prosulpr.t fr.r h
next four years, for if Seymour is elect
ed he will not live a year."
The announcement, I confess, star
tled me. I kuew Gen. Cushmg a inti
mate knowledge of Gov. Seymour, and
that he never indulged in an idle re
mark. I had also frequently heard it
stated that the Governor had declined
the acceptance of public places in con-
sequence of failing neakn, but 1 bad
not supposeu inere was any cause lor
tr . . ,.
serious apprt hension in regard to his
DhvsicaI Inental or condition. Recently
developed facts, however and the sober

him intimately, render it not only possi

his and y0ur leet.o0. the responsibility
0f administering the government would
soon devolve upon you
It therefore becomss'a question of
the gravest moment to look back into
your record, and ascertain ' what man
ner of man thou art, and what securi
ty peace and good government would
have in you. I propose to perform this
duty from time to time, at my leis
ure moments.
The first inquiry which naturally
arises is: vny was tne nomination
of the New York Convention conferred
upon you ? Why were all the Demo-
crats of (he West passed by thil you
tnighl be selected ? Not certainly be
cause of your democracj'. If you ever
were a Democrat, you were tha worst
acting one I ever saw. But you never
was a democrat, and have epent your
life in abusing t!ie Democratic party
You do not now claim to be a Demo
crat only an opponent of the "radi
cal?," the reason for which will appear
in the sequel.
You were not made a candidate be
cause of your services during the war,
though some of your partizars have the
foo!i;h audacity to claim for you that
these services were more important to
the country than Grant s. And Thomas
Ewingr. of Kan?as, was unani
mously presented by the soldiers and
I saiLrs who had assembled in New
York, to the Belmont convention, a?
their choice f jr Vice President. Not
onlv was their reauest refused bu
they were turned away with cold in
difference. They Jid not look for
ward to you as their candidate in any
possible contingency. Neither you
war record, your talents or your pri
vate virtues had attructed their atien
tion or cap ivated their admiration.
Aside from afw followers in Missouri
nobody had ever thought o' you in con
nect'on with any great olhce. In i
uuiiicm, in Hie twinkling of an eye, a
t were, you bounded forward to con
sequence, and to use the language o
Junius in one of his letters tothe Duke
cf Crafton : "From whatever origin
your influence in this country arises, it
is a phenomenon in the history of hu
man virtue and understanding. Good
men can hardly believe the fact; wise
men are unable to account for it; reii
gious men find exercise for their faith
and make it the lat effort of their pie
ty not n repine against providence
One who reads your letter of accep
tance hardly knows which to be start
led at most, the bo dness of your a?su
ranee or the indecency of your lan
guage. Striking out on the direct line
of revolution, yet assuming to yourself
great purity of purpose and a lofty pa
triotism, you have betrayed your design
by the cure you have taken to conceal
it. To obscure your own atrocious ob
jeel you assail Gen Grant as inviting
the people to a "feast of despotism and
death,' when you are invuting them to
a feast of blood. Even despotism
would be preferable to that anarchy
you would turn loose among lliem to
pile up the dead on the door sills of the
North for the benefit of the Prestons
ard the Hamptons and the Forests into
whose service you have entered, and
who brought you forward as a candi
date, while their garments are still red
with the precious blood of our martyr
ed soldiers who fell in defence of their
country's flag, which these traitors
were endeavoring to strike down, and
the Union with it. Ii is enough to ap
pal the stoutest heart to look upon this
scene of National debasement and
shame. Verily there is bui one step
between this people and another civil
conflict. The most noted rebels are
already dictating the national candi
dates, and you embrace each other
with all the cordiality of old political
friends, professedly entertaining the
same views and purposes of govern
ment. How wouli the British states
man, how would the statesman of any
country on earth except our own, ap
pear in an assembly with traitors, con
federating with them to seize the gov
ernment. on their joint account and for
their joint benefit.
One of the most remarkable features
of yonr letter is its fatal want of mo
desty: Hear. hear.
"The issue," you say, "upon which
the contest turns is clear, and cannot
be distorted by the sophistries of our
adversaries. They all resolve them
selres into the old and ever recurring
struggle cf a few men to absorb the
political power of the nation. This
effort. u;der every conceivable iiame
and di.'guire, has always characterized
the opponents of the Democratic par
ty." Thd3 you affirm lhat the iisue upon
which the presect contest turns is the
old and ever rtcurring one of a few
men to absorb the political power of
the nation, and you add, 'this effort,
under every conceivable cntne and
disguise, has always characterized the
opponents of the Democratic party."
To transpose your language it means
this : that the Democratic party has al
ways opposed the wicked schemes cf a
few men to alsorb the political pswer
of the nation. How Iod? you have
been in finding it out ! Tb lateness
of the discovery is either ducretitable
to your intelligence or honesty. iou
can hang on whichever horn of the
dilemma you please.
If the opponents of the Democratic
pany have always been wrong, as you
bow allege, and tbe D-mccratic party
has always been right, why have you
always acted on the wrong side ?-
Why has your" whole life been spent in
denouncing the Democratic party ?
Why did you and the 'Blair family
enter into the Van Bjren movement of
194S, and assist in defeating1 General
Cass, the regular nominee of the par
ty ? Why did you, in your speech at
Lafayette, Indiana, in lboO, denounce
Democrats cs the "most miserable par
ty that ever existed," and Douglas as
the 'most pernicious Demagogue in the
United Slates? by did you do the
same thing in this city, and every other
place where you spuke? Why did ytu
recommend "Helper's Impending Cri
sis, a work which was generally con
demned in the North, and which tpread
terror and consternation in the South?
Why where you so long and apparently
so earnestly engaged in overthrowing
the slave power of ihe country and
liberating the negro? If what you now
say of his barbarism is true, your ef
forts heretofore in his behalf are traud
and lies. Yo r purpose, General, is
too plain to deceive any one. You de
sire to re-establish the slave power o
the country, ard to lay the North a
its feet. If this can be done peaceably
which you say you do not believe, well
If it requires a revolution to effect it
you say let the revolution come. When
it does ccme, you will be tne Kobes
pierre of it. Alas! for your ambition
it has o'erleaped itself !
