LAND LIMITATION BILL.

Right glad Care vc) to find" that this lmFor-
tant subject is already and in proper shape sub
nit,cd to the attention of our Legislature. And
not sorry, that the editor Of this paper shonId
have been the man 10 bring the matter before the
Senate. Under that flag stand and move, and
fight or fail, tor all time to come.
Other matters may prevent our giving the sub
iect that prominence for a few weeks to come,
which appropriately belongs 10 1t. Compare
with the success and triumph OF the great princl-
pies constituting the basis Of the National Reform
enterprise, ne hold in cheap estimation the success
or defeat of any candidate for the Presidency who
has been or may be PIT forward for support at the
approaching election We we'll know the odum
and prejudice which commonly obstruct the inciP-
lent progress of a new enterprise but, in this
case the foundation of our principles Is in Truth
in Righ,-in Nature-in the immutable order of
Proyidcnce-and cheeuly DO We commit our cha
racter and fortunes TO the glorious Undertaking oad
ing it onward.

SENATOR BRIGHT AT HOME.

The following resolutions were passed at
a meeting of the Democratic Association OF
Lima, La Grange Co, Indiana.
Whereas, We have heard, with feel
ings of surprise and regret, that Jesse ID.
Bright, Senator in Congress from this
State, has introduced INTO the Senate of the
l.. s.. proposition for extending the prin.
cplcs of the Missouri Compromise west
ward to the Pacific. Therefore,
ReSoIrcd, That said move meets with
our decided disapproval and condemnation.
The Lagrange Democrat thus speaks
of Mr.. Bright:
I'VE regret that any man, Representing
free State, should rise in his place in the
Senate, and move that the principles of the
Missouri Compromise should be extended
westward to the Pacific. thus opening the
door 10 tho extension of slavery, 18th all It's
bIightnng and whitening influences, over 4
vast territory now free. We say that we
regret that any man from free state should
do this-but when we see a Senator from
our own State arise and announce himself
the champion of such damnablc project,
we feel chagrimed and mortified. We will
sustain no man who will sanction such
base surrender of Northern ri2hts-be he
who he may, we will cast him off al once.
