Louisiana aud the Nebraska BILL
We find we were misIed. by an exchange paper, IN
giving to the Hon. THEo. G. Hunt. the benefit OF
representing his State in his speech and vote against
the Nebraska Bill The unanimous action OF the
Louisiana Legislature in favor or anu not tas we
mistakenly supposedly against the Nebraska Bill
Here are the resolut ons of that body:
The Nebraska Question in LouisIana-lhe follow
ing resolutions were unanimously adopted by the
legislature of Louisiana. They establish point on
which we have always relied with confidence, VIZ
that the people Of the South regarded the COMPROMISE
of 1850 establishing permanent rule on Inc slavery
question: Washington Union.
Be il resolved by the Senate and House OF Re
representatives. of the State of Louisiana, IN General
Assembly convened That The people OF the State OF
Louisiana have ever viewed the agitation OF the qu2s
ton of slavery with the deepest concern, and they
regarded the adoption of the measures OF l9oo known
as the compromise as final settlement OF
hat exciting subject.
Resolved That. in the judgment OF the legis-
Iature of The Stale of Louisiana, those compromise
measures were intended TO have more lasting and
permanent effect than the mere adjustment OF the d'fl-
cuties arising out of the then recent acquisition OF
Mexican territory and that by their ADOPTION certain
great principles were established, which not only
furnished remedy for the then existing evils, but
which would for all time TO come, avoid similar agI-
taon by Withdrawing from the floor of Congress the
question of slavery, and committing its decision TO
those who are alone interested in it, and who alone
are responsible for it's consequences.
Be it therefore further resolved. That the Nebras-
ka territorial BILL pending in Congress- so far as
designed to carry into effect and perpetuate this prn
cple of non Intervention to the institution OF slavery
meets our approval, and request our senators and
representatives to support the same

" The territory has apsed into or been amalgamated
with LOsseSsIons.'
If the same act, or one of far less turpitude and
atrocity, perpetrated by our government, the
harshest terms and the most Opprobrlous e lthes
would be applied TO The New Orleans Delta, in
commenting on an article in the Albion, which an
