addressing to the enemies Of the Nebraska bill in Coug

gance when speaking of the duties and responsibilities
congressman, which would seem to indicate super
right their part oreguate public sentiment throug
the country. This assumption which ely ndepend
representative win Indignantly spurn The city Of Nov
would be disgraced il ii allowed two such Journals
the opponents of its political views. The one stands
open advocate of disunion, and therefore can SO
only for such traitors tolerated in the city;

presidency and therefore, can speak only for the Sewn

of the opponents of the Nebraska bill They are conS
tous in their opposition but they know and feel thai
are suffering by the company in which they aE .
Such men win show their population Of any syfnAa

The friends Of the Nebraska bin have, thus far, ehale
the admiration OF the good and true men eyerywber

The course Of the two abolition organs referred 70
serves special notice since the by which the ous

openly conicsses that lis counsels have looked
