all previous legislation inconsistent with its
provisions and spirit The people are recog-
Missed as sovereigns in fact as well as theory.
By all the hardfought fields, in the name Of
all the heroes of the revolution, in the name
Of all that is sacred IN the democratic creed,
LET THE PEOPLE RULE. The bill has been
made the special order for Monday next, and
every day hereafter until disposed of
Judge Douglas and General Atchison de-
serve the cordial thanks of the entire popula-
ton Of the Union for their vindication of cor
rect principles. The delegate from Nebraska
is also entitled to high commentator for his
services in behalf of the territory that he so
ably represents. Though there are three men
now in Washington claiming the right to rep
resent the territory of Nebraska, Hon. Thomas
johnson has the regular certificate of election
from Provisional Governor Walker, and is
therefore of course the delegate, according to
the record.
The intense excitement and the ground
swells, of which. we hear so much in certain
quarters, are mere fgments of morbid and
restless imagination. The clarion tones and
irresistible logic of Douglas, Cass, Atchison,
and their noble compeers in both houses, will
silence the croaking, carping, hypocritical
enemies of popular sovereignty. The Presi-
dent is at home the cabinet unit The
friends of equal rights, therefore, have nothing
to fear. In conclusion, we repeat, in Gods
name, LET THE PEOPLE RULE.

HoN. G. G. ATnERToN's WILL-The will of
the late Hon. Charles G. Atherton, u S. sena-
tor for New Hampshire, has been proved in the
Hillsboro' county probate. 1t is said to be ad-
mirably drawn, and eminently judicious and
creditable both to the head and heart of the de.
ceased. After giving to his widow the sum of
$4,000, two-thirds in cash, and the income of
the other third during life, he distributes the
rest ofhis property among fifteen cousins, whom
he names. He gives $4,000 to Gen. Pierce,
and several smaller legacies amounting to two
or three thousand more. Enclosed with the
will was sealed letter addressed to Gen. Pierce,
which he directs his executor to, deliver un-
opened. As to his law library, he makes three
contingent dispositions oft, viz. to the son, of
three personal friends and relatives in the order
which he names them, who, on attaining their
majority, shall study the profession Of the law.

CoAL-FIELDs-Hitchco Elementary Geol
ogy gives the area of the coal.felds of America
as follows: The great Appalachian coalfeld,
extending from New York to Alabama, covers
nearly 100000 square miles the, Indiana field,
$4,000. Add to these fields Michigan, Massa-
chusetts, Rhode Island, Missouri, Iowa, and
Virginia, and we shall have surface more
than twentyseven times as large as Massachu-
setts. If we suppose the average thickness of
all the beds over this surface to be only twenty
FIVE feet then the whole amount of coal in solid
measure, in this country, would be not far from
], 100 cubic miles. Estimating the yearly con-
sumption of coal in this country to be 100000
tons, this immense body of fuel would keep the
hearths bright and the furnaces a-glow for more
than million Of years"

Contrasts of slavery.

In a late number of Mr.. Habersham's peri
odical, The elf-Instructor," is an engraving
which, illustrating forcibly as it does the con-
trasts of slavery in this country and Europe, is
by no means the least interesting feature of
that publication. 1t represents an interview
between negro woman, a slave" (?) and
newly landed Irish emigrant, suffering under
want and disease. The following conversation
ensues:
Dinah.-" Poor white woman, you sick 2"
Enaigrant.- Poor and sick BOTH
Dinah.-" You run way from you rnossa ?"
Emigrant.-"I haven't any master. I'm
free"
DnaA.-" Freel What use OBJ be free, uf
you can't get muffin to eat. / sorry for you, for
true. | amt got no money but got plenty O
tater-here one"
Here is commentary upon abolition folly.
The "poor black slave" not with pocket full
of money, it is true, but blessed with an abun-
dance Of comfortable clothing and good whole
some daily food, holding out her hand in char
ity to save from starvation poor white free
and independent citizen, with no mossa to
take care of her, and "nufin to eat" The
one slave to appetite, to pleasure, working
like her betters from sunrise to sunset, and
unlike many of them who sometimes work
from daylight to daylight, fulfilling simple
allotted task, and then, free from cares of bust
ness and the harassing anxieties of getting
money and raising money, with no family ex-
penses' account to post up, and no six months
" small bills to settle, no notes in bank to try
to get renewed, no city and State taxes to pay,
and no militia or jury duty to perform "on
pain of the penalty of the law" retiring to
warm bed, almost inside of the bars of the par
lor CRATE, to snore away until next morning to
Unavailable oblivion, with no danger ahead
save the risk ofgoing into dropsy from over
sleep and gormandizing; the other heavily
laden with all the inestimable and unalienable
rights and titles which freedom confers upon
her yotaries, burdened with most of the privi-
leges and responsibilities we have enumerated,
without any earthly means of sustaining them,
sick, hungry, half naked and desolate, holding
out the supplicating hand to grasp a cold
later" the tree-will offering from her culinary
resources of a "poor niger in oppression and
bondage, placed under task-master," and
only few moments ago fast asleep over her
hoe, while the ask-master' was amusing
himself in shooting crows out of the corn-feld,
or dining with his neighbors at the club.
Truly there are two kinds Of slavery in the
world, between which some future lexicogra-
pher will do the world an essential service in
unsynonymizing, (if we may be allowed to coin
word in the absence of one to suit, VIZ, that
which belongs to the well-fed slave Of appetite,
who has nothing to do between working hours
but to eat and sleep, and that which is the sad
lot of the hungry, sick, and destitute sons and
daughters of ".treedom," who have no use for
appetites, and are glad to accept of miserable
cold potato from a poor negro, to save them
from starvation.

FROM MEXICO.

We have received file of Ez Unicersal pub
lished at the city of Mexico, of as late date as
January IA.
The Unirersal gives up large space to
biography of Don Juan de la Pezuela, governor
and captain-general of Cuba, and to his recent
decree in relation to the slave-trade and the
regulation of the free labor of Indians Asiatics
and Spaniards, proposed to be introduced into
that island.
The Universal again complains that the
United States have not repressed Walkers ex-
petition.
The same journal discusses the question of
colonization, and is ofopinion that the prosper
ity of the United States is not in any wise owing
to its religious liberation, and that therefore
such toleration is not desirable in Mexico.
The rumored appointment of General Santi-
ago Blanco, as minister of war, in place Of Sc
nor Alcorta, is noticed and complimented.
The Trait d Union announces that Senior
Hargous, accompanied by Don Alexandra Ato-

Mexico, entitled "A History Of the Differences

From the proceedings of the Senate on Mon
day last, (says the Annapolis State Capitol
Gazette of the 2sth instant it appears that the
bill organizing two.territories came up-Kansas
and Nebraska. They both lie Immediately
west of the State and river of Missouri. Kansas
extends from the 37th to the 40th parallel of
north latitude, 207a miles. Nebraska extends
from the 4Oth to the 49th parallel, or to British
America, 623f miles. Both territories extend
west to the Rocky mountains. Fort Leaven-
worth is to be the temporary seat of govern
ment for Kansas. The governor Of Nebraska
will convene the first legislative assembly at
such place as may suit his pleasure.

A QUARREL BETWEEN HOMEOPA-
THY AND ALLOPATHY

The quarrels of doctors are endless, and no
thing would more disturb US than to be impl
Gated in medical feud. We are on the eve
of one now, but we will do our best to keep
out of it. A few weeks ago we most innocent
ly published an extract from a letter, in which
it was stated that the homeopathic treatmen,
had been very successful in yellow fever during
its prevalence in and near Natchez. That un
fortunate extract has brought down upon oul
innocent head the worthy sexton Of the city o.
Natchez, who, we doubt not, is backed up by
stout force of doctors. We publish, in ano
ther column, the communication which has
been sent US. 1t is, emphatically, grave
document and comes authenticated by the mos
solemn formalities of the law, as will be seer
by reading the official certificate of the clerl
Of Adams county appended to it.
From medical controversy "angels ant
ministers Of grace defend Us" We will make
any apology, any concession, any acknowledg
ment-indeed, do anything but take physic-
to get out Of such difficulty. We confess
that we do not see any necessity for this
communication. 1t is, too, unreasonably long
but anything rather than war with doctors
Their pens are as formidable as their lances.
