An ELOQUENT PRAvER.-The Chaplain Of
the Indiana Legislature recently opened the
session with general prayer, which closed
with the following eloquent and sensible in.
vocation
"And, o Lord, have mercy on our lcgisa.
tors. Be with them and bless them even if
they know thee not. Spare their lives, and
teach them to glorify thy name. Hasten
them to their homes where they may direct
their attention to good works and general
usefulness among their families and neigh

there, and in the future elect men OF sound
morals and temperate habits, so that good
may hereafter result from legislation. Save
the good people of the State from the dis:

should again come here to make laws. Hear
us, Lord, and grant our PRAYER. Amen"

TIE PRESIDENTIAL HORN"

The New York Pick is after the President.
Hear him.
"Going in at the big end and coming out
at the little end Of the horn," has never
been so clearly illustrated as by President
Pierce. In his inaugural, he sent n thrill
through every American heart. We all felt
that we had selected q man. as President,
who would cause American rights 20 be re.
spected in every portion of the globe that
our flag or our people should visit; no mat
ter how distant. That was the big end OF
President Pierce's Presidential horn.

hours sail of our coast, 1--WE have left Key

Cuba Not q weel; has passed since Pierce
became President, but what some gross out
rage has been perpetrated in that quarter. up
on our flag Or our people. Americans have
been insulted, imprisoned and murdered;
American vessels have been fired into, and
seized, and lastly, steamer is seized fol
sport, her cargo confscated, and her passen
gers turned ashore at Hayanna. The whole
people of the United States feel that the
cup is full and running over. They look fol
action on the part of tho author of the In.
aug,lral. What does he do in so great m
emergency? He drinks his tods as tluenty
us ever, floats around Washington with his
irresponsible toadics, and swallows every
manly American thought, or patriotic line he
has ever issued since he was Il President
That is the little end Of the Presidents

THE \VUIG PARTY,

"The Wings could receive no higher
cuogium of the men and their measures than
have been bestowed by acclanla:on OF the
entire country upon Clay and Webster, the
representatives and cmbodiments OF both"
We are (says the Fayetteville Observer)
indebted to kind and valued friend, whose
firm adherence to the men and measures OF
the party has long commended him to all who
know him, for calling our attention to the
sentiment which we have placed at the head
of this article. How grateful and refreshing
are such suggestions! We know not to
whom should be attributed the credit for ut
terance of so strong truth, but whether it
come from the granite hills Of the North, the
sunny cline of the South, or the broad prairie
of the West, it speaks to the heart OF every
true Wing language which he should never
forget, and truth which should urge him
onward whenever !. is sought to destroy that
party, either by open foes or secret and con-
cealed enemies.
No party which has ever existed in our
own country, or any other, could appeal to
names more ilustrious in proof of the purity
and patriotism of its aims and principles
They would have adorned the brightest peri
ods of British history, as they shed lustre on
the brightest pages Of our own.

The EMPEROR NIcHoLAs-A writer in
the Wall Street Journal, after mentioning
several cases Of generous dealing towards
Americans by the present Emperor Of Rus
sin, says:
"Thus, the now reigning Czar, who, in The
eyes of the Americans, and in particular
their press, can do no right, on whom n de-
luge of their wrath and billngsgate vitupcr.
alton is poured with such ceaseless persever-
ance, is the only one of whom the country,
robbed and wronged by all the rest, has moth
ing to complain, who has invariably treated
her, collectively and individually, with con-
spicious kindness, and who is emphaticaIly
and has been her best, most constant, and
most faithful friend!' ..,-
The writer of this paragraph is hardly cor
rect in stating that the press Of this country
is so hostile to the Car. 1t may have been
true at one time; but great reaction has Ia
ken place in this respect, and we now find
some of the most influential papers of the
country asserting that the Russian monarch
has been more sinncd against than shining
and regarding his country as more friendly to
America than England and France.

DEMOCRATIC OPPOSITION TO THE NEBRASKA
BlLL.-The Savannah Courier having said
that the Northern opposition tothe Nebraska
bill came only from those States and I.egis-
latures where the Wings were in the majori-
ty, the New York Express corrccts the state
mcnt rs follows:
All parties in the North are opposed to the
bill, as il stands. There is not any party
about il here. In the Democratic l.egisla-
lures Of Maine and Rhode Island, the opposi-
ton to it was just us warm as in New York
and Massachusetts. The Connecticut Demo
cratic State Convention unanimously resolved
against it; Wisconsin. Democratic, is unani-
mouslv against it; the silence Of Pennsy .vania
is rs significant MS her voice wou!d be. The
"IIard," of the State Of New York give the
bill no more support than the Free Sellers or
the Woody Heads. Let us not deceive each
other in matters of fact.
10 this it may be added that according to
the Sanduskv Mirror, there are in Ohio twen-
ty-eight Democratic papers opposed to the
Nebraska bill, and but nine in favor Of it, 81

THE ANrI.sIA VERY. ExeIrEMENT

THE zANTISLAVERY<EXG ITEMENT
The fact is apparent that the excitement on the
subject Of domestic slavery IS now running higher
10 the free States than At any former period -Four
years ago the excitement Was in the South, among
people who were about to be wronged by the action
of Congress, and who had long and patiently endur4
ed the aggressions of intermediates and fanatics.
The 8 cohlpromise of 1860, though IN many res
poets and injurious to the South, was faith
fully acqniesced and the hope was INDUCED that
che question was settled but now, when a propos-
ton IS organizing the territories Of Nebras-
ka and Kansas, 10 continue one of the principles
sanctioned by that compromise we find the en-
tire Wing party of the free States and portion of
the Democrats arraycd against it.
We invite attention to the proceedings of Congress
of the 18th. Thousands of 'Clergymen in the New
England States forgetful of their high duties as mes
sengers of the Gospel of Peace and promoters of
love and good will among men, are engaged in adj
ding fuel to the fame; while other classes in the
same region are pouring in their petitions against
the plain proposition to place the sapehoding States
on the same footing with the non-slaveholding. Still
we are not much surprised at this conduct of these
clergymen 1t has been fashion among them for
many years to oppose slavery, both in private and
from the pulpit and to denounce their country when
engaged in foreign They are the men who
sundered the Churches; and who would now, we
fear, they had their way, involve the Republic in
the calamties of civil war. They are the successors
of the men who justified the Hartford Convention in
its reasonable resolves who preached against James
Madison and the war of 1912, and gave aid and
comfort, by their and their prayers to the
formidable enemy with which at that time the Re-
public was contending
We are gratified at the prompt and indignant man.
ner in which their memorial to the Senate was met
by Judge Douglas; but they had defenders, it
and one of these defenders was General Houston,
who was born in and represents saveholding State
but who in this struggle, appears to have taken
sides with our assailants and enemies! He depre-
Gates the passage of the Nebraska bill Gas calculated
to raise the widest excitement throughout the

because those who endeavorng to withhold them
should become excited! That is the logic of the
Senator.
1t may be, as Mr. Calhoun memorable occas-
ion declared that this agitation the slavery ques

no can can foretell. We know only this that the
Southern States in the right; and their true
course is to maintain their rights, adhere to duty
and leave consequences to higher power.

SEVERAL ACCOUNTS Settled.

We stated, week or two since, that the " eldon
Patriot had declined to raise !Gen. Dockery name
for Governor That paper, it was evident, was dis
pleased with the nomination well as with the Re
solution in relation to a Convention and we merely
referred and in respectful terms to the fact Since
however, the Patriot has raised Gen. DIS name, and
states that the omission to do was s
al !" We regard the statement as r. Sc 4ne Eol-s
tor of that paper it is known here was dissatisfied
with the action of the Convention, and the rumor
was-so far as he was considered Of sufficient I'M
portance to be talked that he would not support
Gen. Dockery. He actually declined, for atlme, to
raise his name; and now, when attention Is called
to his course, he states a falsehood in connecton
with it, and abuses the Editor Of this journal.
We spoke of the Patriot as a g respectable W hig
Journal We beg to be excused for having used
the expression; and We take occasion to little
gentleman whowrites for that concern that we con-
slider him in his proper element when dealing in
slang SANDER, and abuse; and that the more he may
make faces at US and abuse the more we shall be
obliged to him. The only return we can make the
little gentleman is-.conten,pt.
The Raleigh Star, it seems has copied the Patriots
offensive article All we have to say to Mr.. Doub is,
that if he has any disposition to indulge in often
sve language towards his contemporaries, it would
be more manly in him to do so his own account
in his Editorial columns We do not believe that
Mr. Doub wishes to engage in personalities any more
than we do; but we may as well state, at once for
his eye as for Others that if driven to such warfare
we can be as severe perhaps, as those who may as
sail US.
We observe also, incidentally, that the Editor of
the Rowan Wing and Advocate is afflicted with
certain sort of malice towards u.s. He loses no oc-
casion to refer to in unkind terms personally and
to misrepresent statements and opinions We
are also content with this We neither fear what
that Editor may say nor covet his good opinion He
is the slave of party, as he is alike, judging him by
his paper, envious and malignant. The Wing cause
if indeed there be any such based o'2rinci-
pIes-is welcome to all the service which such an
Editor may be able to perform for it.
