undertake to constitute human being without heart
The Eastern Times, a Democratic paper publish
ed at Bath, in Maine expresses great delight at the
working Of the Nebraska bill 1t asserts, in
flaming head, that the bill "works gloriu,sly for
freedom" and cites it as one of the g great mea-
surcs Of the Democratic party" THE people Git
says are beginning to understand that instead Of
the abolition of an arbitrary line between slavery
and freedom being extension of slavery it really
is the removal of barrier to the progress Of free.
DOM" The same paper fortifes itself by quota
tons from the New Hampshire Patriot, the De-
mocratic organ Of that region.
The Patriot, after remarking upon the provisions
of the Nebraska bill, and quoting Mr.. WEBSTER to
show that the eimmutable laws Of nature" had
forbidden slavery to go into certain Territories,
claims, with much satisfaction
The same principle is working out its glorious and
bcne6cent results in Nebraska and Kansas. No human
being who is not doc false hearted preends there
is the least prospect of the immense territory Of Nebraska
being rod by the foot Of slave. Even the most
violent antslavery and anti Nebraska papers openly adj
NIT all is safe here And what triumph The territory
Of Nebraska is equal thirty times the territory of Mas
sachusots New Hampshire, md may hereafter make
a dozen States and all free! Is there glory in this,
the freedom of the soil
GAS little doubt there of the destiny of Kansas
friend Of ours recently received letter from gentleman
in Kansas who had gone from New Hampshire to
pore and see with his own eyes, He writes back that
not Southern is found to ninety Northern
and Western and German emgrants, and that not n
doubt exists among the emigrans or the neighboring
slave States the future character of Kansas When
admitted State its manifest and glorious destiny is
FREEDOM"
Giving further descriptions Of the progress of
things, the Patriot continues
"An the valuable land open settlement is already
saked out and claimed, and eternal DEGREES could not
sNor is this the beginning and end of the chapter
though this might be thought enough by any reasonable
1t lis proclaimed by anti Nebraska papers that
such is the rush Of emigration in this direction that like
the too abundant rains which swell the rivers it viii
flow its natural banks and passing to the immense
territory of Texas make two three free States out
Of soil which had been devoted to slavery German emf
grants universally antsavery men, both from prn-
cpe and from TASTE being unable to endure contact with
the coored race; and already occupying the western
the North and West in organizing free States the soil
of slavery!
ssNor is this ALL great and good it is 1t is stated
that Missouri is awakening to thoughts Of freedom Slave
~ was strong there and is mainly confined to the
rich bottom lands of the Mississippi while the western
portion of the State is almost exclusively occupied by free
men. During the last few years the number of slaves
has been diminishing, things then were; and now,
when the State shall be nearly surrounded by free States
and the escape of slaves become easy, and when
large portion Of the people opposed it, both from
interest and principle, it is thought by those well
quainted with the state Of public feeling that slavery will
give way to surrounding circumstances and Missouri itself
join the ssterhood of free States around her. Should
not such prospects satisfy the most jealous ahotonsts
Should not the part only which is moral certainty create
the most deyout thanksgiving Utah, New Mexico, Ne
braska the territory of dozen future independent States
and Kansas all to be free, besides two three
be carved from Texas and Missouri itself to be free
Who could expect so muchs Who asks for more The
abotionist have harangued for freedom preached for
freedom and, they say prayed for freedom over this
vast territory Should they not thank Heaven and be
content when they receive what they asked
"Indeed they admit, almost without exception,
that such results have been secured by the Nebraska bill
results grand permanent and glorious, such single
act Of Congress has ever before secured.
The Nebraska bill ,cork gloriously and trumphanty
for freedom No act Of any President any Congress
liberty and men of all parties win be obliged to acknow
ledge, with the intelligent and honest National Inelli
gencer, the day after the passage Of the bill that
though they opposed it from beginning end, for the
sake Of peace and good feeling ghout the nation yet
truth and honesty required them to confess that in their
belief the North and South should change their posions
and the North for the bill and the South oppose it,
The Democratic papers in this region and South
very industrious in hunting up quotations from
Wing papers: why is it that they see none of these
precious consultations for Southern men in the De-
journals
1t viii be found that those Southern Wing presses
which opposed the breaking down of the Missouri
" barrier were not such traitors to Southern inte-
rests, after all, as some of their adversaries have
represented them.
Senator DOUGLAS lately addressed public meet I
ing at Geneva, in Kane county, Illinois, at which
there was some excitement in consequence of his re-
fsal to be interrupted in his remarks by questions
from the auditory. After he had concluded his
address and retired his speech was replied to by
several gentlemen. A series of strong antiNe-
braska resolutions were then submitted and adopted
by reclamation.
