DELLEVUE GAZETTE. s. A. r u n i. i it t ii n STRICKLAND T ft GO., TIIOS. J. GUNNISON, EDITOR. DELLEVUE, N. T. YlIl USnAV, JANUARY 5K, 1.7. The Kcbrasklan. The- Inst week's issue of thin paper is ono continued string of llio vilest aWc and uiuiiiiigalcKl falsehood. Nearly three fourths, of its reaJinrj matter is devoted to unpatJonnllo ntiJ low slander of (ov. McComas nnd the members from the rWlhTuo District, and yet, with the uiln.it. iw8 of a practiced detainer, it hints con clusions without alleging facts. It inti mates that two inemhers of this district offered, for ten thousand dollar., to wll th votes of the wholu delegation on tho Canital Question, and for tho truth of tins r - - suggests a call on tho man whoso name appears at thf head of this pnper as Pub lisher. Now let us tfll that hireling sheet such call has been made, and that the intimation is as falso as the black hrarl that made it. Tho Jlellevuo Dele gation are true ami loyal to their consti tuents, and Omnha has not money enough to buy them, however willing sho may bo to try to carry out her constant but infamous boast, that they em and will buy tho wholo Legislature, if necessary, to her ruinous purposes. It intimates, amid a perfect storm of impotent rage and abuso, that Gov. Mi Com is is the evil genius, under whose auspices alone, tho wholo mighty moving of the pooplo to throw off the drunken, dominating and corrupt des potism of tho Omaha clicpio has been hatched and carried forward, and that ho has used corrupting influences to obtain his ends. Now, how stands tho fids in relation to Gov. McComas. Every ono here who enjoys Gov. McComas' confidence (and there are a number), know that ho came to Bellevue as a mere visitor to the Territory-tliut he has been detained from matters of interest, and motives every way justifiable and laudable that he has no desire to fill any office in tho Territo rythat the whole of whatever has been aid in relation to his taking office, has been said Solely with tho view to quiz the piebald pack of office-holders and office seekers among the Omaha clique. We know that he did not start, or design to tart, the movement to remove the Cupi tal that when it was proposed to him to make a location for that purpose, he had made his arrangements to leave the Ter ritory and declined the proposition ; but being delayed unexpectedly, and the move ment taking a turn which forwarded in terests which ho had acquired in the Ter ritory, he has remained, and in spite of the low slander and violent threats of Omaha, has steadily acted in unison with and for the good of tho people of this Territory. But does Gov. McComas own the town of Douglas ? Has he given any portion of it to any member of the Legislature! We answer, no! Gov. McComas was chosen President of the organization, and refused to bhriuk from, or skulk the responsibility of the position. Was there harm or discredit in being President of a town which, by the cen tralily of its location, was regarded by two-thirds of tho Legislature as fit for its Capital. Gov. McComas had a fair, but by no means large bhare of the stock of the town ; but we assert unhesitatingly that he has never given or sold one lot or share of Douglas to any member of tho Legislature. If there be any fact con trary to this assertion, which is known to be true, let any responsible man put his Anger on it and the lie will bo nailed to the counter. Rave on, Omaha ! " Thou sand-bar Sodatn n Thou art devoted to the infernal Gods! Lies cjinnot savo you ! Mammon and bribery cannot stay your fall ! The finger of destiny is rap idly tracing thy doom upon the wall. The grass will continue to grow upon your corner lots, and the Pawnees tent in the molderinj pile of brick on your Capi tal hill ; when Douglas lots will need no official advertisement; when hontsl uun will rule the State, and when those you now slander and vilify will sigh over the utterness of your desolation ! Fly, thou den of rotten speculators. Thou hell of drunken blue-nosed, frost-bitten politi cians! To your holes, ye rats! die ship einketh ! ! THE CONTRAST. We ropy the foil wing unit ies from the l'lon-nee Courier if the il'Jud nil. Com ment is linnet t'KPtiry : Tlir r.trct. Midst tho turmoil and angry ennfurion, which, during the week thut preceded our last issue, rent the ermine of dignity from the speaker's chair and insulted the ma jesty of the Serjeant at-Anns, there was no man in our I louse m iiepresemnuri-n whose unexceptionable conduct challenged more admiration from the enemies of Ter ritorial persecution, than that of Sim A, SritH m.ki, Es.,i,f Bellevue. His im perlurable self-jHissension which no amount of uproar could betray ; his uniformly courteous and respectful deportment, which no irritating taunt could provoke to un seemly recrimination; the ability and cau tion w'ilh which he discharged the delicate duties of the chair rendered ten-fold more thnn ordinarily nrduous by the semi barbarous conduct of an untamed and vagalsmd minority ; his steady and onfall crinir pursuit of the grent object of legis lation with which he was uilicd which paused not uniil the final nnd official in troduction of tho Governor to the Iiill for iho removal of the scut of Government and the able conclusive ami dauntless speech which ho delivered on Thursday afternoon, till., have traced in his behalf a brilliant record, not soon to be effaced from tho tablet of public memory. His speech was an clonuont and fearless expose of the bitter ami blighting servitude, which every interest of ih lerntory had been compelled to yield to Omaha. He stripped from her deformed body the tin seled drapery of oilinnl adornment, and laid bare to tho lush of public scorn tho excuseless course of her graceless clelegn tion. His speech was caustic, telling and rofouiul, and in its delivery, as well as y bis entire course, throughout Hie whole ordeal of this trying cnpitol hunt, he has earned from the people of the 1 erntory a debt of Gratitude, commensurate with tho great cause which ho advocated. i on Gained and M-n-itive nature must have I ecu his paid piivtrje f rom the tluty-trariv nicled majority, h ' Drugs and Cue uttcal. ' In another column of our paper will be found the advertisement of Messrs. Joncs & Wood, Druggists of Omaha, and we are sure that all who are in want of any . thing in that line, and pure articles, would dn well to call on frieuJs Jones &, Wood before purchasing eLewhcrc. lie had Ills Price, nnd got It. A dishonorable member from Neuieha havinu had his entire ineasuro taken his moral highth and depth ascertained by the uncivil engineers of Omaha, has peddled himself, his constituents, and in part, the lerntory, and has become a part of tho personal assets of the ' Hotten How , Honor self-respect, decency and const-ion tiousnesa all that wus worthy, u II that was manly have changed places with all that is rotten, foul, corrupt, and still the article of traffic has not the grace to be ashamed. On Thursduy afternoon, as the hour appointed by prior resolution for the final vole on the capitol question, in tho House, approached, Mr. Finney of Nemeha, with tho uneasy and laboring air of a guilty conscience with the impress of 'Petty Larceny,' 2d ollence, visibly stamped upon his countenance declaimed in open day his own ' bill of sale.' Tho consideration which ho averred to be tho condition of the transfer must bo branded by every man, who has had a day s experience in Omaha, during the present session, as an unconditional and shameless lie. Did he not have wit enough to ope honesty of motive with a decent hypocrisy. His at tempt to barricade himself behind tho self domed libel of the ' corruption of tho ma jority,' as an excuse for joining a lawless bund of public knaves, is a resort which would shame hypocrisy itself. Conscience made him a coward ; knowledge of his polulion and filth lied his dastard tongue and the cringing sulfutiion of petty seoun- urelism, forliade his aping the coinpara lively dignified demeanor of tho bold viliinn. While we might examine a fallacious defence, of elaborate villiany without con- desccntion, we can hardly stoop so low as to strip from this false and imbecile pallia tion of Finney's, tho transparent gauze of honesty, with which he has luvcsted it Granting that what he said relative to the corruption of the majority was true ; it founded no right in him to trade away the dearest interest of Ins constituents. self-pollution is proper retaliation upon a corrupt majority, then Mr. Finney is a man of virgin purity with trimuiod lamps and plenty of Oil. Did his constituents send nim to the House to accomplish that wbuh they and the remainder of theTer ritory, except Omaha, have been en lea voring to accomplish ever since the first location of the capitol ; viz : the remova of the Seat of Govcmmeut t or did they send him there to retail their cause and the stern interests of the Territory, because forsooth, he Omniscient biped believed his co-adiutors to bo corrupt. Could the foulness of the majority infect tho right ous cause? Man cannot pollute principle The former is mortal and transitory the I a i i luuer uiviue ana eternal, jt would seem that the corruption of tho majority, fur nishes no pretext for putting three-fourths of our population upon tho shamble. Ad mining all that is claimed, this ridiculous apology of Fmney s cannot stand the te of examination. Through its torn aud rended folds, fascinating subdivisions of orange-colored metal. and enchanting pile of quit-claim deeds loom up in cloudless perspicuity. There is a sub-thermometer degree of coolness iibout Finney'a excuse for his sudden transit, which his perspiring visage, plainly indicated, he did not experience himself, while speaking. It is inexplica ble to us that Mr. Finney, upon so serious an occasion could perpetrate anything so facetious and jocular. He joint! the mi nority, Ixcaust of tht corruption of iht majority. (J reat' G od ! 1 low his pure and spotless soul measureless in its extacy at having escaped the fold of the sin-ridden majority, must revel in the etherial, as sociations of the immaculate Nonh Doug las delegation. How refreshing lo his o mo inreuiening, urine- olleriiig, lot begrimed herd of Omaha s minor representation. II jw pleasant to enjoy luxuries and get paid for it timid lanoously. How green Shakespeare wm when he said that a iiinn 1 could smile and smile nnd yet be a villain.' I low mistaken tho Evangelist when he wrote, the hu man heart is deceitful above all things and lospcratcly wicked.' MASS MEETING Of Hie Citizen of Otoe Count). A meeting of tho citizens of Otoe county , in i . .i. was convened nt i.xceisior iiiock, on me evening of the l:)l, to take into considera tion tho late action of the Executive of the Territory, and other matters important to the interest of the people. On motion of Mr. Pardee, J I.. Arm strong, Esi., was called to the chair, and Mr. A. I'. Harvey, requested to act as Secretary, Iho Chairman called upon Mr. tut 'bs to Male the oliu il ui luO tuoctiuir, Mr. Gibbs complied, giving a rapid and conciso history oi uie operations tn the Government of the Territory, showing how the location of the Capital had been made, ogainst tho desire of tho people, at a place unfitted, by location and interest, for the seat of Oovernincnt ; how it had been retained at Omaha; contrary to the repeated and urgent demands of the peo ple for its removal ; how upon a recent request of a large majority ot the people s representatives; tho Governor not only disregarded the request, but assumed an unwarrantable authority in denying, virtu ally, the right of the people to remove tho capital ; how tho friends of the measure hud been unexpectedly disappoiuted in the ixisitiou of certain monitors of tho legis lature whom they thought free from ; and above suspicion of susceptibility to uupro' per influences; and concluded by suggest' ing the appointment of a commission to confer with theso default in a members and ask their co-operation upon a question of the highest importance, not only to their own constituents, but tho wholo people of tho Territory. Judge Bradford concurred in the sug gestion, and approved of tho adoption of some measures by which the Governor could be made to understand that he is not the only power under which the people are willing to enjoy the privileges of free government, Judge Holly felt that the veto message, with its illogical arguments, was not only burles'iuo upon sound doctrine, but an outrageous insult to the people whom Mark W . Izard is unfit to govern. Gen. Downs presented a picture of tho condition of the a flairs at Omaha; how overtures of bribery hud been made, and that some of these overtures had been ac cepted. Ho felt that tho interest of the Territory not only demanded tho removal of the Capital, but also tho removal of the Governor from his office the people hav ing no longer any respect for him, either as a ruler, or as a man. Mr. Decker thought, from what he had witnessed at Omaha, that a crisis had come when our Representatives could not act without tho personal protection of their constituents, and suggested the appoint ment of a delegation to Omaha, to guard against any unlawful outbreak against legislative propriety and decorum. exhibiting the miserable depravity unto which, under the influence of city lot and the 'almighty dollar,', the Executive of the Territory had fallen. He seconded tho proposal of sending a delegation to argue tho question with the refractory members, and advocated the proposal to request tho removal of the Governor Air. Gibbs moved the appointment of a committee of nine to visit the people of rsetnaha county, to discuss with them tho propriety of instructing llieir Hepresenta tives to co-operate with the majority of the I.egislatue m insisting upon the removal of the Seat of Government. The meeting appointed Messrs. A. A. Bradford, II. P. Bonnet, Jacob .SafibnJ, J. H. Decker, I. L. Gibbs, H. 11. Harding, S. F. Nuckolls, Henry Bradford aud W. E. Pardee, as that committee. On motion of Mr. Decker, Messers, Harvey, Holly and Garside, were ap pointed a committee to draft resolutions expressive of tho sense of tho people of Otoo county upon the matters under con sideration. Dr. Bradford moved, ihe committee also prepare a petition, to bo feigned by die people of tho Territory, to the President, praying for the removal from office of our present Eexcutive. The meeting then adjourned, until the committee on resolutions had prepared a report. lis VI-no legitimate inn ive t T lulerfei ence Anil whereas, in in ins'rume if o'imi:i; (hi- : dignity of n nn-n.iirr, n.iiil (iiii-rn'ir iUt lifd tlic iinpnrnlli'lfil smlnrit V to nvmv tin? rk'ht Hint His tiitPtitnm l Mm l.xpru'ivr. iirri IV u rrtwr ,ilpilir:ii'P to the niitlioril y of tin" proplr vrn if ro:ixtitutinnnllv fxprcsftl by iinnt mrmn vi!p of tlicir roprf Mittivp, nnd that nothing nlaort of !hn n'inrpin compu'-orn of the n-MiltMit .f Hip rniti-rt StntfH, bIk Oil compel 111 in to rrinovr Hip nrrliivo and soat of R"v- crmnrnt Anywhere from it pteseiit nlmnrd nnd jmrverteit Jorntiotn nnd whereits tinder these prave Ami nlnrmiiij; enrrnaeliments of nrliitraiV power, it in proper for in ait p.trt of the people of Nehraiika Territory, whose riclit nre thut Invaded, and whose will in Horn insultingly derided, tnexpre'in o ir view upon this exigency of our atl'iirs, nnd to delitier.tte upo:i the pro per mode of redrean, Therefore, Rksoi.v v.d, That the question na to the lo. eatinn of our ae.tt of (internment in purely a local nnd domestic a Hair in whirlt wn deny the right of any ront.tc.it power to interfere, claim ing for the people of Nebraska the name riirM to decide na to the ulace where tlo-v sii.til enact the laws which arc to govern tln'tn, nn to the quality and nntiire of the laws them selves.

Saturday, Jan. 21. The meeting adjourned from yesterday convened, und was organized by the op pointmtnt of Dr. Campuell as Chairman. The committee appointed to draft Reso lutions, reported the following, which were unauiiuou&ly adopted: Whf.sf.as, tinder our Republican form of Government, the peoi-i.e are the sovereign source of power, and particularly so under the provisions of the Nebraska-Kansas bill, which secures for them in express forms ths right to regulate their own domestic affairs in their own way, w ithout the interference of any ros ;n authority; and whereas the F.xecutiveof this Territory, who Is not the representative of the sovereignty of the Territory, nor placed in that possilioit by them, who does not profess to represent their choice or to be responsible to them, lias dared to nullify their will as ex pressed through the deliberate enactment of ttvf-thu-iis of their representatives, which is the first instance of the kind ever attempted, and on a mutter too, involving nocoiistittitioc.sl question, but relating only to the regulation of our own do.nestie attaint in our own way, in the location of our seat of Government, in which said F.xecutive, as the representative of an authority oeTiit of the Territory, caa ation of the capitol nt Omnha, will subject the Territorial members of the Government, to all manner of overtures of corruption, alike sub versive of wise legislation, nnd the honest nnd effective administration of the laws. RF.soi.vtn, That the Representatives nre but tho servants of the people, bound to reflect their views, and advocate the interests of those who elect them, and any other doctrine is in consistent wilh Republican Institution. Resolvf.p, That the Representatives for this county have truly reflected the will and wishes of its people; and they heartily en dorse their public course as such, and giving them the meed, their patriotism and firmness so much deserve of ' well done, ye good nnd faithful servants.' Rr.snt.vF.n, That the majority of the people of this Territory, through their Representatives who but faithfully reflected their w ill, have virtually removed the seat of government from Omaha' City, and we therefore denounce its further retention at that place, and protest against nnv further legislation under the whip and lash of veto usurpation as ineonsistant with the freedom and purity of legislative authority. Resolved, That the corrupt and violent means used bv the mobocrncy of Omaha, who seem to control the place, to thwart the will of the people, the virtual refusal of his excellency, when formally called upon by both branches of the Legislature to protect the freedom of the co-ordinate drancli or the t.overnmeiit, and nis insolent threat mado in person, to refuse his sanction to a measure then pending, and to prevent the free exercise of the Legislature will, to say nothing of the moral corruption and biibery prevalent in that locality, impera tively require the immediate adjournment of tho Legislature from Omaha to Hellcvtie or Florence, or any other place where our Repre. sentativcs ran act in lreeilom from improper outside influences ; and that we instruct our Representatives to insist upon such adjourn ment nnd removal. Rxsolvf.d. That the arbitrary exercise of the veto power on a question of purely local cnaracter ; tne tyranicai assumption which seeks to justify such exercise by denying the right or the enure body or tho people to gov em themselves ; his pertinacious refusal to protect the Legislature from the violence of mob-law, when duly culled upon, and thus violating the spirit of his oath of otltee ; his notorious alliance with a sectional and cor rupt clique, which seeks to pollute the foun tain of pure legislation ; his want of capacity; his neglect of public duty; his titter imbecility to say nothing of graver imputations, connected with the control and expenditure of the public money, all demand the immediate removal of Mark W I.ard, from the office of Governor of Nebraska Territory a position which he has so signally abused and the appointment, in his stead, of come honest man, who, ema nating from the people, will not attempt to trample upon their independence, or thwart moir sovereign win when constitutionally ex pressed. REor.vrrt, therefore, That a petition be immediately prepared and circulated through out the Territory, setting forth the views of the people, and the Legislature he requested to memoralize his Excellency, the President of the United States, to remove Mark W. Izard, from the office lie has so disgraced, and to appoint some man who will co-operate with the people, in carrying out such measures as they deem will best promote their interests ; and that until such petition be heard, and re moval made, Uie Legislature be requested to adjocrn. A. F. Harvey, C. F. Holly, Joshua Garsi.le, Committee On motion of Gen. Downs, the Secre tary was desired to publish the resolutions as adopted, in the- IJellevue Gazette, Ne braska News, Wyoming Telescope, Flo rence Courier, and Nebraska Advertiser. Judge Holly, being obliged to leave town, proposed the appointment of Messrs. A. F. Harvy, M. W. Brown and Mc Crackcn the committee to prepare the petition, for the removal of the Governor. Adopted. The committee was authorized to raise means to Oelray any expenses w hich may arise in the printing and circu lation of said petition. On motion the meeting adjourned. J. C. Campbell, Chairman. A. F.
