THE NEBRASKA BILL IN PENNSYLVANIA.


The anti-Nebraska resolutions introduced into the
Senate Of Pennsylvania some time ago were passed
by that body on Wednesday. One of the Senators,
at whose instance their consideration was postponed
that he might be enabled to 60 home and ascertain
the wishes of his constituents, stated in his speech
on Saturday that he was satisfied the proposition to
repeal the Missouri Compromise could not obtain a
thousand votes in his entire district. He therefore
could not be reconciled to the measure. Other
earnest speeches were made on. both sides of the
question: and the resolutions finally passed by vote
of Is to Is. They read as follows:
WHEREAS efforts being made to effect the pas
sage of act Of Congress to organize the territories of
Nebraska and Kansas with provisions allowing the intro
ducton of involuntary servitude north of $50 30f And
whereas in the judgment of the General Assembly Of
Pennsylvania the passage of such act would be mex
peden and manifest violation of the Missouri Compro
mise, approved March 9Th, 1920; therefore,
Resolped That the General Assembly of Pennsylvania
earnestly and soemny protest against the repeal
dcaton of that section Of the Of Congress for the adj
mission of Missouri into the Union State which pro-
hibits involuntary servitude north of $50 30/.
Resolved That Senators in Congress be instructed
and Representatives be requested to carry out the
foregoing expression Of the sentiment of this Common
wealth.
Resoued That the Governor be requested to transmit
copy of the foregoing resolutions to each Of Sena
tors and Representatives in Congress. .". .- =

PROM THE RICHMOND ENQUIRER.


A DIPLOMATIC BLUNDER.-From the introduc-
try speech made in presence Of the Sultan by the
american Minister at Constantnople we take the
following extract:
g In the great struggle in which you engaged
yo have the ympathies and good wishes of the Amer
cab nation The policy Of our Government, while it pre-
Yeats all national interference in European quarrels
never restrain us, people, from praying that that
arm be it Christian be it Mahomedan, may be strong
which wields the sword in just That you may
succeed in preserving the integrity of Empire which
has frequently afforded asylum to the exled friends
Of liberty is the universal desire Of the people Of the
United States"
We are at o loss to conceive how Mr. SPENCE came to
ascertain SO satisfactorily the inclination Of American
sympathy in respect the impending struggle in Europe
1t may be that the sympahe and good wishes of the
country are with the Sultan but Mr. Spence has au-
thority to give such Our Government has
certainly undertaken determine the merits of the
dispute between the Gear and the Sultan has it any
right to institute inquiry into the matter The duty
of the Government is to position Of absolute in
difference and neutrality without respectto the ndivdu-
a opinion of the people, The Car is less friend
than the Sultan, and the American Minister has no
tority to indulge in gratutous imputation on his honor
and the justice of his cause Mr. Spence was liberty
to tender many aterng protestaons to the Sultan
diplomatic compaisance might suggest, but we appre-
bend he had order from the State Department to in
ct gratuitous aront the feelings Of the Russian
Emperor.

lect Of that would be, Railways resorted to, upon
the interests of country situated as this is, we
need not say. There are many subjects upon which
the naked legislative power of Congress can be
safely exercised; there many others upon which
it could not be-
Indeed, if there ever was Government on earth
that needed to act less upon what it has the phys
cal power to do, and more upon what it is political
ly just and expedient to do, it is the Government
of the United States It is physically possible for
the National Government to do much to annoy and
injure the slaveholding States without any direct
nfraction of the Constitution, but the spirit that
dictates the concessions which become embodied in
Congressional compromises saves us from the mis-
chiefs that might follow the exertion of mere pow
er. For example: there is no positive injunction
of the Constitution which requires Congress to legs
late for the surrender of fugitives from service.
They may or may not originally make provision for
this purpose according to their conviction of its
utility to the whole Union. But they have made
such provision and since the year 1850, this legs-
ation stands not alone upon the Congressional ad-
mission Of its utility, but also upon the faith of a
legislative compromise, in which it was conceded
by one part of the Union in return for concessions
made by the other part
Thus the great virtue of these Congressional
compromises is that they superadd to the inherent
merits Of a particular measure the sanction of a
mutual interchange of benefits, in which the par
ticular measure is made (to borrow juridical
phrase) the consideration moving from one class Of
States to another class This was the doctrine
which the great men who established the eompro-
misses of 1850 inculcated, and which Mr.. WEBSTER
especially, in the popular addresses to which he
devoted himself during the last summer that he
ever lived in health, sought to impress upon the
public mind .,.
For our own part, we trust that we shall never
see the force and virtue of these adjustments i'm
pared, or their hold upon t,lc public mind ondan
gered Rather than have this happen we would
concede something in given case from the strict
argument which might be made to deny the bind,
ing character of supposed compromise, if we saw
that one whole section of the country were certain
to feel that the public faith would be broken by
disregarding it. There is no object so vast or SO
important that the harmony and mutual confidence
of the States of this Union do not exceed it in
magnitude and Importance. l,..,

MARYLAND LEGIsLAT1oN.-The Constitution of Mary
land requires that the question of the passage of any
bill the yeas and nays shall be taken and that no bill
shall pass unless at least majority (3S) of all the
bers vote for it. On the passage Of the general appro
priaton BILL which took place at the closing Of the
sion, it happened that member was acting temporarily
as reading clerk and he recorded the names of those
who voted for the bill Thirtyeght, just majority,
had voted for the BILL but he omitted of the names
The BILL however, declared to be passed. and so
dorsed was signed by the Governor and deposited as
law requires oil laws should be- in the Office of the clerk
of the Court of Appeals. The Clerk of the House. in
writing out his Journal after the Legislature had adjourn
ed, finding that there only thirty names
not the constitutional maortyof members recorded in
favor of the BILL changed the record and made it read
that the bill was rejected And up the ques-
ton, is the bill law The evidence apart from the
journal seems to be conclusive that the bill did receive
the vote required by the Constitution to pass it. TIE
matter is in the hands of the Executive and Judiciary

aouR NEW ACQUISITION

Under the above caption the Boston Post of
Wednesday contains the following, which we copy
as specimen of the absurdities which sometimes
obtain currency in the public prints
"Major STEIN states that the Territory Of Sonora in
cuded in the Gadsden purchase is Of the most vaiu
able obtained by the United States that instead Of
twenty millions, it would be cheap hundred mil
lions OF dollars that it embraces region which is well
watered by the branches of the Ga which is pleasantly
diversified with mountain and valley possesses great
sources for agricultural purposes for grazing for the
production Of sugar cane cotton and all other products
of those attudes that it is healthier than any other
part OF the United States Besides it is the richest min
ing region in the world god silver and copper abound
in every part of the country in such quantities that he
believes In two years after its settlement by Americans
fifty millions of metal would be sent to the States from
its nexhaustbe resources that copper be extracted
there at the rate of three cents pound and placed in
New Orleans at cost of six per pound that there
are silver mines many of which kept secret from all
strangers by the lndans from which silver could be made
as rapidly and abnndanty as lead now is at Gaena and
that IN certain parts Of the country gold is picked up
from the surface of the EARTH and used the material
to mould bullets by the Indians, who have been known
frequently to exchange gold for lead bullets"
Ii these statements of the Post" are correct,
or even approximate to the truth, our own impress.
sions OF the country have been entirely erroneous
We had no idea that such paradise was to be found
on the earth, much less in region hitherto under
stood to be from whose nhospitaty and sterility
the traveller passes with the utmost dispatch. We
have seen no where but in the "Post" such state
ments ascribed to Major STEIN, and of course know
not how far that paper is justified in saying thai
they are made on his authority. It is certain tina
they do not correspond with the information We
have obtained from gentlemen having knowledge O
the territory in question, who uniformly agree il
representing it to be almost worthless; and this
view of it, we learn, comedies with that of gen,
tlenran now in Washington who accompanied Major
STEIN in his expedition through Northern Chihua-
hua and Sonora We refer to Ex-Governor LANE
Of New Mexico, whose testimony as to the charac
ter of that region if he should choose to favor the
public with it, the "Post" itself could not fail tc
appreciate.
