Nebraska Senator Atchis0n--M Twom
blythe Banner.

The following are the editorial comments !
Of "The Banner" on that portion Of Mr..
Twombly's "Eindication,' published in our
last:
"But we are told by this erudite states
man, this very paragon Of political virtue
and consistency, in his Tiniicaiion, tha.
Atchson is slave agitator-that as Sen
ator from Missouri, slave-hvlding State
he dares TO vndicate the inalieuabe right of
Shareholders, and is unwilling, by a,y act
Of his to sign away the birth-rig.t Of those
who made him what he is, that lie believes
that the common blood and treasure Of slave
holders should entille them 70 equal priyi-
leges with those who are not Shareholders:
that he is not willing because lhe sovereign
people in forming such institutions as they
in their wisdom thought proper, have pre-
| ierred pro.slavery constitutions in five
States. should be prohibited by an arbitrary
law of Congress the further exercise CT this
right, that because he believes all this. and
even dares 10 assert it in contradiction to the
freesoilism of some, he is TO be denounced
as dangerous man. Again. we are told in
justification Of lis present course, tlat
Senator Atchison had changed upon this
subjcct-that in his Parkville speech lie in
duccd the belief that he would oppose any
slavery agitatou-while in his Fayette
speech lie gave utterance TO different scnti-
ments. To show not only that il is over the
spirit Of Twombly's dream charge has
come, but also how much conCd' nee is to
be placed in his assertions, we will place
Atchison's views in Parkyille and those in
his speech in Foyette in opposite columns:
ATcHIsoN N PARK-'ArcnIsoy IN Fay
WILLIE. ETTE.
Il now declare to- "He opposed the
you that l will notorganiza,ion of Ne

canize Territoy Of pose il, unless the

bill leaves the Terri-was virtually repeal
tory open for settle cd, as is ailnss ion
lnent TO all the people,wth this restriction
Of the United States, would be to debar

Does any one but This self cons t!utcd
censor see any discrepancy in these state,
S? Does he not declare in PorkyilIe
that he viii not vote for bill to organize
Nebraska unless shareholders are allowed
equal privileges with non-slaveholderS, and
in Tayette that he will note for its oraani-
cation with the restrictions OF the Missouri
Compromise, for the reason that II would
be doing injustice 10 Shareholders. Ii is
evident therefore that there is no difference
in Mr., Achison's sentiments in regard tc
this, and the cause Of Mr. TWombly's sud
den somerset must be looked for in some
thing else. Perhaps il may be found in par
in his late visit to his native State, N. H.,
which ircm its geographical position is no
apt TO produce pro-s'avcry sentiments. Ger.
! tain it is thati, was not in Missouri he i'm
bIbed The sentiments that tie slave State
had already more than their share-aud ;ha
i. was necessary for Congress to iu,erpo,,
its arbitrary power TO prevent the sovereign
people forming such Institutions as the,
may deem best or that their blood and trca
sure when thrown in a common purchas,
r were not TO procure equal privileges witt
/! that Of Observation-Disclosures the demure
: against the doctrine that while the blood am
money Of a non-slaveholder entities him q
\ it should TO carry all his property to III
:. puachase, that Of STAKEHOLDER only enti
ties him to carry portion Of his, is TO b
denounced as a slavery agitator. Sure!,
such sentiments are Of exotic mould-no
did we think that any Missouri0n (eyc
though he might be northerner by Dirt
and education, could be found so thorough
" grounded in these sentiments as TO aug
at the principles that the blood and none
- others. But it seems that we were mistak
cn-there is one at least.
Mr., Twombly lately dcnOunccd Col. Her
ton as reckless disregarder of law or ju.
tce because he proposed the organizatio
of Nebraska, in defiance of existing tret
ties: he now thinks it highly reprelensibI
in Senator Atchison that he should regar
those treaties--yesterday he thought Bel
ton lawless william because he urged II
citizens of Missouri TO disregard the plgh
