! The Nebraska bill will be the touch
stone Of principle, with all those who en-.
dorsed the compromise of 1850. It is one
thing to profess and another to practice
The professions of fealty to that compact
have been many and loud up TO this time.
We now want, when the test comes. to
see who will stand by the constitution and
the fountfy. Agitators have already arayed
themselves before the country, in battle
order, and it remains to be seer whether
there is not enough of virtue and patriot
ism in cur national councils, to "crusll out
the vie spirit of ianaticism. We fondy
hope, but how surely, the sequel will only
show, that the slavery question will be
now, finally and forever settled, and that
the walls Of the national capitol may new
er again echo the impious and unholv
sentiments which have been hereto fore
therein uttered. The subject of slavery is
strictly a local one 1T is question belong
ing, practically, to the management and
control OF the States-it should be SO con-
sidered--and the States, which may here
after come into the conlederacy should
have she right and they alone, to say
whether they will noarish the institution.
There is where justice and equal rights
demand It should be, and there is where
expediency and common sense, want it.
We hope and trust the bill as reported and
amended by the Territorial committee
will speedily be Observation-Disclosures
ing the amendment is q simple reitera-
ton of the compromise Of 1850. The
proiessed adhercnts to those measures, will
be brought to the touchstone. By their
deeds must they be judged. Ii those men
OF the North who protested to acquiesce
in the finality of the compromise, are sim
eere, they will now have an opportunity
TO seal their professions By their votes.-
1t will be a simple act, but will speak
volumes. Politicians have become such
complete weather-cocks in their blatant
professions, that it is necessar. i: II order
TO prove fh@ii.. honesty, to bring them to
the test II those now Of the North who
have been nomiualy friends to the COM
promise, do not come out manfully and
patriotieally, from the fiery ordeal, with
out sin and blameless,' the South will
point at them the slow, unerrng finger of
seorn, and they will sink into he'll Of
political iniamy and disgrace, so deep, and
yet may find lower deep" that the

&5- The Weston Herald is urgent in its
appeals to the Virginia Legislature to
adopt liberal policy, with the North
Western portion Of the Statp, in its appro-
priations for Internal Improvements. We
can testify to the fact. from personal OBJ
servation, that that section Of the county
is poorly furnished with the facilities of
free and speedy intercourse between dis
fant parts. Much is needed there, to assist
in developing the vast resources Of the
country, and it is lamentable fact that
While millions on millions of dollars have
been expended on other sections of the
State, the North West, has been suffered
to remain, in bad seasons at least, perfect
mud-hole, Comparatively. We should be
glad if the Legislature would fake this
matter into consideration. It would be
money well invested. Let those who now
enjoy the advantages of good.m acadamize,l
and graded roads remember how they
were once situated, and then not forget ihe
North West-one of the most luxurious
and productive spots in the State. Well
graded and maeadamized Roads in that
section would be Of incaeulable benefit TO
the inhabitants. and would answeras prof
table feeders to the great lines of improve
ment now under construction, and in con
temptation.

&C. The Weston Herald, says there is
not one lawyer living in Montery, County
seat Of Highland; and thinks we could
spare couple from Stanton. We don't
know how that is. lie are sure, how
ever, that some Of them would find better
picking il. the mountain city Of Montery
than here. 1t may be, that is the city OF
"brotherls love-" and that there is no ne
eessity for lawyers. They would, indeed,
be a mof.el people; and the simple fact Of
no one ofthe legal profession living there,
lisa favorable commentary on their honesty
and industry
