We ap- HI Jnds;c rergrtRon net on the Hoard of t iiuvnssersf This seems to be in tho nest of pot-house politicians at Omaha, tho great question f th day. Corrupt officials with thread bare characters scratch the hair on their win, or smooth, the carrmncies on tneir faces, as they agonize over the question which they cannot solve to their satisfuc tion. Land agents, who, since claim jump ing has ceased to be profitable, have turner! to politics as a more inviting field for spec ulation ; asl tho question as they lounge at Keith's, or walk inquiringly about the streets, .bankrupt puntuians trotn abroad and escaped convicts from other states, who have fought shoulder to shoulder in this contest for Chapman and tho sois worry over this question which is their pillar of fire by day, and their dark cloud iu tho night time. Will the Judge act? Thai's the ques tion. 'MY ill he be so immodest ( tney ask. Only think of an under-striker or whipper-in of tins man Chapman, talking of modesty. " Oh ! shame where is thy blush!" But seriously, will the Judge act I Now we have not consulted with his Honor, but if he be the sensible man we take him for he most ctrlaimy vnll net on the Board and fearlessly and independently dischnrg a great public duty, with on utter disre gard and contempt for the jeers und sneers of Mr Chapman or his barking puppies The position which Judge Ferguson occu pies, was not of his own seeking. An act of the Legislature made him a member of the Board of Canvassers, and the action of tho people, unsolicited ' on his part, made him a candidate for Congress and he would be unworthy the confidence indica ted by the earnest support which he re ceived, if ho were to shrink before the sneers of interested parties, iu the face of the first responsibility which presents itself. We believe that there are times when private scruples should bo laid aside, and tho eye of the patriotic and honest citizen should only rest upon the public good. W believe that this is peculiarly such a time. Having: failed in an appeal before the people, to receive that support which would have placed them above the necessity of resorting to fraud and corruption to attain the objects of ambiliou theso pilferers from tho public purse, fall buck upon these old means which they know so well how to use, and through which they have boast ed lhat under any circumstances, success should be iheirs. But we will see. W ih lis worship and his support of them un der all circumstances is linn and unbend ing. Fol icy which is the guiding star of most politicians, has had no influence up on him. No honest conviction has been smothered no expression has been shap ed to suit the exigency of the times. He speaks fully and freely all that he feels, and in language easily jinderstood. Thjs has made him enemies, but the luxury of saying what he believed, has seemed to compensate him for the opposition which e has excited. This much we feel call ed upon to say of Col. Rankin as a public man. As the first Treasurer of tho Ter ritory, and subsequently as United States Marshal ; we believe his enemies even, have Ji'ot urged against him a want of "ca pacity or a neglect of duty. In every trust which he .has held, we believe he has bcon honest,1 truthful and efficient. In private life, ve know him to' le an earnest and devoted friend, And the dark er the hour which glooms over the path way of his' fellows, the wanner is his sympathy. To. our knowledge ho 1ms never jdeserted a friend, at lhe dictate of policy or the call of ambition. As a citi zen, we know him to be public spirited and generous even lo a fault. He is scrupulously exact in the dischorgoof all his liabilities as this whole community vili cheerfully attest. In tho canvas which has just closed, we must coufess that his' course ha been shaped not w ith reference to policy, for wherever we have met him he has been standing upon the same platform, and ad vocating the same doctrines with an en thusiasm1 and an energy which few men possess. If an energy that knows no tire and a fearless advocacy of sound doc trines merited success; Col. Rankin would to-day be our Delegate. But he was ot first supported by the leaders of a cliuqo with which we have no sympathy, and we fetred the purposes for which they would have attempted o use him. After he was basely and heartlessly be trayed bv the very man, w o above all others should have been earnert and con stant in his support; we had formed com pacts to sacred to be broken ana we op posed him and worked for the suceesaof another. This has been our course and our justification. " ' fortunes from their unsuspecting acquain tances in the east. There are uy amount of towns or cities laid out( in this Territory, high sounding names are, given' to . them plats are drawn up, share certificates pripted, and agents start to the States to gull what they call the "eastern green horns." These flash names generally take, and the shares are disposed of like hot cakes. We are down upon all such operations, and will, as long as we retain the situation we now hold, expose these corrupt bogus sculduggery associations, however hard it may apesr to those who are deeply inte rested in them. We say to our eastern friends come and see, before you invest. Or if you can't come end to men honest men with whom you ere acquainted and letlhein invest for you t is far better to purchase shares in towns of reputation at a thousand' dollars per r.'.re, than in bogus towns without any existence at ten dollars per share.
