The following call has been signed by many
of our most respectable merchants, bankers,
shippers &c, for . city meeting to be held in
the Tabernacle, on an evening not yet fixed, to
protest against any act of Congress which shall
repeal or disturb the act known as the Mis-
souri, Compromise, by which Slavery was for
ever excluded from all United States territory
lying north Of the parallel Of So deg. 80 min.
Among the signers are many who have been
Conspicuous and jealous in their support of the
Compromise Measures Of 1850, and still are,
but who arc not disposed to submit to infringe
ments of that Compromise ON the side Of Sla-
very, any more than on that Of Freedom.
Regarding the Compromise Of 1920, as well as
that of 1850, as in the nature of a solemn COM
pact between diverse sections and Earring in
terests, they are determined to insist on the
maintenance and fulflment Of both to the
letter, whether the attempt to override them
originate in one quarter or another. We ask
those in Congress who are disposed to support
Mr.. Douglass Nebraska bill, to ask the mem
bers from this city who and what are the men
whose names are signed below:
NO INFRINGEMENT OF PLIGHrED PATH! NO
VIOLATION OF THE MISSOURI COMPROMISED
The merchants, mechanics, and citizens, Of
New York generally, without distinction Of
party, who would preserve inviolatc tho Mis-
souri, Compromise, are invited 10 meet at the
Broadway Tabernacle, ON evening the
of January, to protest against the project
now pending in the Senate Of the United States,
for the repeal Of that section OF the Missouri
act which forever prohibits Slavery in the Ter
ritores lying north Of SO deg. 80 min. Signed

NEBRASKA
The report and bill Of Senator Douglas, upon
the organization OF Nebraska Territory, are n
challenge for the re opening Of the whole Sla-
very controversy, which cannot be declined
This bin abrogates the Missouri Compromise,
celebrating the 36th degree OF latitude az the
boundary Of Slavery beyond Missouri and sur
rendering everything, the whole Continent be-
hind us TO Slavery This Is clearly n breach
Of the faith which was pledged at the time Of
the understanding ever since, and OF all the
professions and pretcnsions by which the Com
promises Of 1850 were attempted to be justi-
fed. II IL violation OF both Platforms at
Baltimore, Democratic and Wing and Of the
assurancer given from and 10 all quarters, that
the Slavery question was never to be deliber-
ateIy opened again, but that full and final
adjustment had been made. II il the most
baneful outrage yet attempted and, If not ef-
fectually resisted, will spread the blighting
curse Of Slavery and Slavery politics over the
whole continent. -Salsm Mass Gazette.
THE NEBRASKA TERRITORIAL BILL.

Slavery to invade Free Territory This is the
spirit Of the Compromise, which was forever 10

afford 10 renew tho war, Freedom will not
shrink from it. But the friends Of the "pecu-
liar institution y should hesitate before throw
ing down the gauntlet There are multitudes
who are content TO leave Slavery undisturbed
where IT now exists, who would rebel against
any attempt TO drive il upon free soil and il
recognition Of the "6nalityD Of the Compro-
