it's pretty certain that this iniqui
bil will soon beusmSA law; tia
Congress will pass il, although the N. Y
Tribune thinks there is We, possibility
of defeating n in the House. But the
south demands its passage, and the servile
north dare not refuse they must step in,
to the traces, and bear the whips and dc
the druagery OF their southern masters.
The merits Of this bill are now fairly
before the peop.e. Mr.. Douglas, its
champion has dit1used his speech in its
support over the land. The administra-
ion organs have put forth their fulmina-
tons to bring the people to its support,
but as yet the sovereigns are stubborn,
unyielding, and cannot see the force
Of their arguments. We can safely say,
that the Democratic party in Cedar coun-
ty are opp ,sed to it, and while such is
the case we think it not amiss in us to
declare against it,
We esteem j. vile outrage upon
the North, and the arguments put forth
in its favor are only Observation-Disclosures
'',ey do not come up 10 the point. Sla-
very is admitted all evil-a curse, and it
is the duty of every freeman to proles,
against It's propagation, to protest against
new Slave territory and slave States
In this is the iniquity of the bill, and this,
Its advocates do no, explain--this they
do not approach, and to every inquiry
of why should the Missouri Compro.

"Self government II then the people
Of Nebraska are to govern themselves,
why should Congress give them any laws
whatevers The sophistry of "self-gov-
does not satisfy the people
The preservation OF this principle is not
sufficient to warrant the introduction

answer is only an evasion The arsu-

statement we have been requested to cor

they have come to our knowledge
The supper .ros gotten up for the
purpose OF completing said church
ii was so understood generally, and SO
we published it. After the supper was
over, the proceeds were placed in the
hands Of brother, in whom all conf.
dence should be placed but he, contra
ny to the expectation Of every one, ex-
pended the money on old debts, and for
the liquidation of old notes, etc. Thus
the matter stands. The money was CIV
