There are two potentates of the present day.
who seem to US to be in much the same predic-
ament: one of them reigns at the old town Of
Constantinople, the other at the new city Of
Washington. The former is saluted as " Com.
mander Of the Faithful - the latter, by the
still more reyerent style of g Master of the
Ioayes ana fishes Both have about them
plenty ii pashas ianizaries and eunuehs to gov
ern them. Both were suddenly, lifted from a
state Of slavery to a throne: both are likely
enough to outlive their own reign. They differ
chiefly Id this: the one is called the Porte, the
other President and that whereas one Of them
is styled the g Sublime Porte.'' nobody has ever
drearnt Of calling the other sublime President
But TO proceed to the special qnandaries that
beset them alike they are as follows: nd Hssl,
Abdul Medjid and Franklin the Feeble both
stand between two fires They may5b be looked
on as very lubberly navigators, who have to sail
between Sylla and Chary bdis; or as discreet
folks Of that sort who long to sit upon two stools
at once or as wise donkeys laundering for two
equal bundles of hay; or as one of those bold
riders, who. in a fox chase, can't make up their
mind on which side Of sappling they shall pass.

willdethrone- that's, bowstring him. A charm
ing alternative, really! So Of Mr.. Pierce; if
he goes one way. the Hards are not soft with
him if he goes the other way, the softs are
very hard with him. Heis dying to MUNICH the
Southern hay rick; but the Northern won't let
him he wants to rideson both sides Of a tree,
and 90 comes thwack against it. A little
while since. he was furious unionist; but that
could not dissuade him from sitting also on the
stool Of the secessionists, and showing them all
his favor in the South, where he thought them
strong. In the North, he is the fast friend OF
the Softs, his worst enemies, and g brushes
QUIT the Hards, his own dear confederatesi In
short, having most intense desire for all sides,
or to sshold with the hare, while he runs with
the hounds he is in no little dangerof becom-
ing like that unhappy thing, the leather winged
bat, which fits along, when day is done and
the htnot come, neither one thing nor t'other,
disowned by the birds, Stunned by the beasts,
reptile that has got on pair of wings, only

displayed in the management Of the steamer are likely
to substitute cool and ispassonate view and accu
rate knowledge OF all the circumstances OF the disaster
for needless, il not blind, appreciation and reward
The several civil military. and naval officers on board
the steamer have been loudly and widely praised and
compimented; and amidst the naional rejoicing al the
escape OF many lives from what seemed certain de-
sruction, have hardly thought OF the details of the
transaction.
These are important and we invite from those on
board the steamer, naval merchant seaman, whose
professional knowledge may enite their opinions 10 re-
spect. their tair and frank exposition They may have
important bearing upon the construction and equip

The Nebraska Bill.

Booth makes psous appeal 10 lhs legislature 10 vote
Tor The ilee. sol resolutions before that body. The
fact that such politicians Booth and King oppose Judge
Douglass Nebraska ball In Wisconsin and such az Ger
III Smith, Giddings, and Chase In Congress- will haze
lie eject no doubt. with legislature majority of which
Is composed OF sound national democrats indeed the
same elements that opposed the Compromise OF 1880 OPP
pose this bill The bill itself is a repeal OF the
Missouri Compromse Ia cry raised almost exclusively
by abolionists and those opposed that easue) than
was the Compromise of 1850 which has been cordially
approved by the American people. The latter Compro
mise was enacted upon the basis laid down ably by
Gen Cass in his letter TO Mr. Nicholson. and the Ne
braska bill is tanamount TO rearmation of that great
democratic doctrine-the doctrine Of governmental non
Intervention in the domestic affairs OF States and Terri
torres Upon this just principle alone-lhat the people
OF the Territories competent to regulate their
Affairs without outside interference and that Congress
has right 10 establish slavery prevent itcan The
question be adjusted and the Improbable warfare
between North and South be terminated.
In taking this view of much We exed question we shall
not be accused of subservency to the South when we
remark that is taken simply because il involves the great
principle which should be adopted by this in
respect to all Territories in its possession or here
alter TO be acqueda principle akin to that asserted by
the American colonies in their earliest efforts 10 resist
British aggression, and successfully defended in the
olutonay We do not advocate the measure because
northern politicians debt OF gratitude TO the South,

sons upon southern institutions. Since ls4s when
tain southern States, clamorous for northern aid,
dsgraceully abandoned the democratic nominee for the
presidency, and entered into practical alliance with
northern freesoers 10 elect General Taylor, have
felt very much like letting the South fight her bat.
ties and feel the consequences of her own folly.
So far the practical effect OF this bill is concerned,
il will not add inch OF slave territory TO the United
States IT, as MIR. Webster declared in his celebrated
speech on the 7ih of March, Nature has placed geo.
graphical obstacles TO the introduction OF slavery in Utah
and New Mexico, greater than any cong ressona pro-
viso, much lorcibly the argument be ap-
piled to the higher and colder latitude of Nebraska The
tendency Of ''the peculiar institution is souherly In
all the northern slaves States it is becoming Improbable,
and the border influence OF free States, operating both
economically and morally, will ultimately abolish il.
