Nebraska and Slavery.

We have expressed the opinion that the
Nebraska Bill of Judge Douglas does not
repeal the Missouri Compromise. Though
for the alleged reason that it does, it has re.
ceived the unathemas of all the Freesoil pa.
pers and many Of the conservative papers
OF the country. The best evidence we
have that it does not have the effect ascribed
to it, is That Senators have already proposed
to amend The bill by adding a clause repeal
ing the Missouri Compromise. Why this
amendment il the bill, as it stands, repeats
the Missouri compromise?
On the other side it has been widely
urged in defence of Douglass Bill, that
though it does seem rather eqIivocal in re-
ference to the Missouri Compromise, and
may, in the carrying out, effect the abroga.
ton of the Missouri Compromise, it will be
because of its conformity to the "Compro-
mise of 1850" the last and greatest and
final settlement of the slavery agitation o.
This view of the matter is entirely erro-
neous. 1t is impossible for the bill Of Judge
Douglas, or any other bill, to be in conflict
with the Missouri Compromise, and at the
same time in conformity with the compro-
mise of 1850; because the Compromise Of
1850 distinctly recognises and rc-afirms,
and adopts the Missouri Compromise. One
cannot be adopted and the other stand
If, therefore, the bill of Judge Douglas re-
peals the Missouri Compromise, it does al
so repeal the Compromise of 1850.
1t is clear that this is the case from the
extracts from the laws on slavery, known
by the different Compromise names, that we
published yesterday. 1t is well for the peo-
pie Of Missouri and of the West to think
of these facts, and choose their ground con-
siderately on the Nebraska Bill. We wish
to stand on honorable ground, and to stand
up honestly to all fair bargains that we may
have entered into.
We do not think the Nebraska Bill OF
Judge Douglas repeats the Missouri Com
promise; but if it does, it does also repeal
the Great Compromise, the Findlity Com
promise of 1850. - Intelligencer.
