THE NEBRASKA BILL AT THE NORTH.

No EXTENSION OF SLAvERY.-Slavery, in this country

Nebraska, or Kansas, any other new Territory until
It is established by the legislative power.
Now, is there of sense in the whole country who
stppescs that the Legislatures of either the Territories
Nebraska or Kansas will legaze slavery? Under Mr..
Douglass BILL it passed the Senate those Legislatures
iW hare The sole and unlimited control Of the subject Is
there the most distant probability that they will exercise
that control in favor of slavery? Have Utah and New
Mexico both further south than Nebraska exercised

THE DISPATCHES OF CONSUL ROBERTSON ON
THE BLACK. WARRIOR CASE.
FROM rHE NEW YORK EVENING POST.

L fhuM I'm NEW YORK EVENING POST.
despatch from our Consulate at Havana to Secretary
Marcy has been published 1t details the particulars
the seizure of the Black Warrior The account of Mr.
Robertson the American Consul does not vary from that
drawn up by the agents of the steamer which have
already presented to our readers.
There u.s. however correction in the letter of
in previous despatch. Mr.. Robertson says:
r" In my despatch stated that the British mail line
have also been in the habit of entering and clearing in
ballast when they had cargo board. Mr.. Crawford
the British Consul, has assured to-day that such is
not the case"
This illustrates the loose way in which tAe official
papers in reference the Black Warrior have been drawn
up, and should put upon guard against trusting
too creduousy all hear charged to the conduct Of
the Cuban authorities.
Mr.. Robertson, the American Consul, deserves the
severest rebuke for having made positive statement Of
so much Importance in its bearing upon the excited feel
ing regard to the relations Of Cuba and the United
States
This correction Of the Consuls previous serves
however, to fix the attention upon precedent which
have some influence in forming judgment in the Black
Warrior The British mail vessels it seems have
not been in the habit of disobeying the Cuban laws
claimed for independent vessels. Mr. Robert
declares that Laws steamers have always is
fessed Of the Black Warrior, acted Illegally This is the
statement in the Consul's despatch No. 49, But No.
30 conradics what is said i'll No. 3d. prepared to
find in No. 36 contradiction of No. IS. When Off
Gals thus reckessy give currency to what is untrue it
is not surprising that all kinds of baseess rumors should
be rife We yet want clear statements and facts in re-
gard to the seizure Of the Black Warrior
