Many of the administration papers of Ohio
speak ont against Douglass Nebraska BID. The
Stark County Dem9crdt says:
sAt the last session of Congress Mr. Douglass

territory have arisen since. That bill was COM

by very large majority. 1t failed in the Senate
only because 70 direct vote was taken upon 1t IN |
that body. No member of Congress then pro- |

Even Senator Aichisop, of Missouri, man imbu- |
ed with strong southern feelings. in speech on
the lourth of March last in favor of taking up the
Nebraska bill, said: ut is evident that the Missou

from Ohio at Washington will faithfully represent
that sentiment in their action on tn is subject"
The Sandusky Mirror, from which we quoted
last week, one Of the most able and candid of the
administration papers, under date of Feb IA says:
Let the present democratic members Of Con-
gress vote for that Douglass aggression, and mark
our word for it, there will on the second Tuesday

The State, ouly such as pledged to use all their
influence and votes for repeal of repealers and ab

1.-The opinions of the press in relation to this
Douglass ,Nebraska-the repeal of the Missouri
Compromise and extension of slaVery-are almost
unanimously against The fraud So far as the
Ohio press is concerned there but four dissen-
tions. Two decidedly in its favor aud two more
f1ickering-timidly and cowardly. Some others
are still silent on the subject. But the great
weight of the press of Ohio is down upon the
tearing up of old and settled "Comprsinses of the
} Constitution"
"a newspaper may withhold the subject from
its readers altogether, and then some neighbor
takes some other paper that discusses the subject
they commune together, and the mum editor
loses his cast with that subscriber on that subject
at least. Then woe betide the editor, who takes
the side ola great question where the people have
made up and expressed an opinion, takes sides
against that roice-his influence is down, goue!-
