Morsngo. Ill.,, Mareh 10, is54-Allow me
to say a word in regard to the feelings and
sentiments Of the people in this county upon
the Nebraska question. As far as We are m
formed know Of but two men IN the county
that openly advocate the bill--they are party
men OF the Hunker stripe. Petitions have been
in circulation here, to present to our represent
alive, against the passage of bill without the
Missouri prohibition of Slavery, and not one
in fifty refuse to sign the petitions.
The resolutions sustaining Senator Douglas
that passed our Legislature by no means are
the sentiments Of a vast majority Of the voters
Of the State. II 10 well understood here, that
those resolutions were got up and urged
through the Senate by few personal friends
of the Senator in tho Senate, and few out
side wire workers In the House there was
majority that either vote against them, or did
not dare vote at ALL
IerrYtoa0n, Pa, March %, l854.--Now that
the Senate have contaminated as far as they
can the Nebraska conspiracy, the people here
are anxiously inquiring what the House will
do. have heard several persons say, If the
bill pass the House, they are ready to buckle
on the knapsack, and shoulder the rifle, and
defend Nebraska against the incursons of the
slave oligarchy at oil hazards. The excite
ment is increasing and the end no one can
foretell
Mt. Union, Stark co., Ohio March 81, 1854.
1t Is worse than foolish for any one to attrib-
ute the present excitement against the Nebras-
ka Bill to the Free Democrats alone
had occasion, some days ago, to speak in
opposition to this measure, in a neighb0rhood
some miles from this place, in which | was in,
formed there are but one OF two Of the Abo-
lition /" stamp, but are almost all Administra-
ton men And | must say, that nowhere, in
any Abolition community, have attended
q meeting on this subject, where indignation
to the bill was more heartily and fully mani
tested. 1t is not a question OF party but Of
principle and hope, if it is productive Of no
other good, it will open the eyes of the North
ern people generally.
Claremont, N. H., March 90, ls54--Allow
me to state one fact that speaks volumes in
reference to the sentiment in New Hampshire
on the Nebraska Bill
IL was the vote to see If the town would in
struct the Representatives to vote for no man
for Senator to Congress who was not against
the Nebraska Bill.
II was taken when the house was rs full as
at any time during the three days Of town
meeting. II was proposed to divide the house,
but many cried out, 20, no; we are all on one
side.D
And when it was called, more than six hun
dred hands went up with a rush; and when
the contrary was called, three hands were
raised. | saw only two, but understood there
were three Here was an expression Of the
hearts Of the people.
Mil Point, OifaDa county, Michigan, March
10, 1854 That infamous Nebraska Bill must
be defeated II will be- There is yet love of
Freedom in the North, and covenant keepers
in the South, enough to accomplish it. By the
way, how can such man az Thos H. Benton,
with his iron-willed opposition to Slavery
Propagandism, how can he say that he is op-
posed to the scheme as u breach of faith, but
as it is thrust upon them from the North, he
accepts it, and will vote for it Does it come
from the North Is it the offspring Of North.
ern sentiment or in any proper sense North
ern measure!
Our correspondent is mistaken on one point.
Mr.. Benton is an honorable and consistent
man, and not supporter of the Billed. Era.
OrsceH, Ohio, March 20, 1S54.-The people
here are united to a man, as far as have seen
and heard, even to the death, against the Ne
braska Bill, and also the Fugitive Slave Law.
II the Nebraska Bill does repeal the Missouri
prohibition, depend upon it the outposts Of
Slavery will, and shall, be driven in.
