NOTHING TO EAr-The Picayune, of the Gath
ult., says that, there never was, perhaps, such
a hard time to get any thing to eat in New Or
leans as at present. There is literally NOTHING
IN the markets fit to be eaten.s The meats are
poor and scarce. Eggs are out Of the question,
and command from four to six bits a dozen!-
Beef, mutton and poultry are ofthe poorest kind.
Potatoes are "small," and command So to 50
per barrel. Families know this is all true

The meeting held last evening, in Beckel's

ever crowded into that capacious room.
The veteran Joseph Barnett presided. Geo.

On motion, the Chair appointed s. Craig
head, Louis Hncsman, and David Stout COM

While the committee was absent, one of the

pudates popular rights in every line, and all
its pretended Freedom leads to Slavery.

Very respectfully, yours,
CHAs REEMELIN.
Mesus Parrot, DAWSON, and Haynes.
After short absence, the committee return
cd, and Mr.. Craighead, it's chairman, reported
the following resolutions, which were unani-
mously adopted by the meeting:
Resolved, That it was the original policy Of
the Government TO provide against the extern
sion Of Slavery, as evnced by the Ordinance Of
1887 and that the Nebraska bill, now before
Congress, covering design to admit Slavery
into the heart Of the continent, oycrturns the
principles OF the past, betrays the interests Of
future generations and involves deep national
disgrace.
Resolved, That this bill, as il excludes from
the polls and from Office all inhabitants not
citizens Of the United States as IL opens the
door for the extension Of Slavery over an i'm
menss territory, which should be sacred TO
freedom and TO free labor; ~ il violates the
national faith, pledged TO the Indians in vari-
GUS treaties and, above all, as IL violates the
faith solemnIy pledged to the North in the act
Of 1920, has our determined, uncompromir'ng
opposition.

rotary.
The following resolutions, reported by
Messrs. Chilean, Wood Stevens, Beckwith,
and Disbro, vera unanimously adopted
Resolved, That the proposition now before
the Congress Of the United States, to open 10
Slavery 4s5,000 square miles of territory, EN-
bracing the whole interior OF the North Amer
lean continent, should receive the united and
uncompromising opposition Of all who are de-
voted to the cause Of Human Freedom.
Resolved That the civil, commercial, agri.
cultural, moral, and religious interest Of tho
nation demand that the Territories Of the Uni
ted States should be held in trust for the land
less for the laboring people of this country,
and for the refugees from the oppression Of the
Old World and we therefore protest against
legislation which forever shuts out the actual
settler from Nebraska except on condition Of
sinking him to the level Of slave.
Resoiped, That the attempt to plant the ac-
cursed institution Of Slavery in tho very kdrt
of the continent, and to check the westward
advance Of civilization, is but another step IN
the aggressive march Of the slave power to.
wards the complete and permanent control OF
the destinics Of America.
Resolved That on this great question We are
determined to know no South, no North, no
East no West no men, no party, save only MS
they may determine the question Of free men,
free labor, and free territory; and that we
make our earnest appeal to the statesmen OF
our nation to defeat this abominabe measure /;
and should they prove faithless, we mako our
appeal to the people, not only on this bill, but TO
reconsider the whole subject Of compromises

SHALL NOT THE PEOPLE RULES

A very able correspondent in the Maine
Lincoln Democrat makes the following striking
point in favor Of the application Of the doctrine
OF Congressional men intervention TO tho Terri
tories Of Nebraska and Kansas
"There is nothing in the soil, location, or
people Of Nebraska, that 20 far distinguished it
from Utah and New Mexico a. to require o
different rule Of Legislation. There is no sug-
gestion that the people Of Nebraska are not as
intelligent, patriotic, and virtu0us, M those OF
Utah and New Mexicon--An Erekangs
This is apoint no point" Mr.. Douglas does
not propose to treat Nebraska as Congress
dealt with New Mexico and Utah. In these
Territories, Slavery was excluded by the Mex
loan Law This Mr.. Douglas expressly ad-
mitted, and he, with other Northern men,
would not tolerate any act looking to it's re-
peal nor was it pretended that the Bills
establishing Territorial Governments in them
suspended or abrogated this law. But finding
now law in Nebraska excluding Slavery, he
and his associates departing from the policy
Of the Compromise Of 1850, insist upon its re-
peal The legislation which they rejected in
tho case Of Utah and New Mexico, they would
enforce against Nebraska.

version, appeared in lie Republican, Of New

DEAR Sir: | have received, Through Mr..
Saunders, presume copies of letter ad-
dressed by him TO yourself and others, as rep
resentatives of Republicanism in Europe and
of your reply, dated on the Sd ult
As an American, devoted to the principles
Of Democracy, and ardeptly attached TO the
great cause Of Universal Liberty, | feel bound
to express TO you my regret that Mr.. SAUr-
pERs has sought to place you and other promi-
nent Advocates Of Popular r. ghts 10 An attitude
Of Indifference towards the momentous struggle
going on in this country, between Slavery and
Freedom.
Advocates Of Despotism are homogeneous
the world over. He who defends Slavery in
America cannot be true friend to Freedom
in Europe. His cry for Liberty is hypocrih.

IL not Mr.. Saunders himself aware that his
relations 70 Popular Liberty in the Old World
have subjected him TO the distrust Of the De-
tenders Of Slavery in the New? Recent events
one would think, might have suggested this
idea to him.
Depend upon IL sir, that If America shall
ever stand forth as that magnanimous Power
on earth which you have invoked her TO be-
come, IL will only be when Slavery shall have
ceased to control the course Of her National
Legislation, and q wise, earnest, courageous
