both branches Of Congress, are united IN
their opposition toany Infringement upon
the Missouri compromise, IN the bill for or
'gaaizihg eterrItorial government In Ne.

"There she stands!'' a noble example to
every Free State in the Union. The indi-
cations are, that she viii not stand alone
A despatch from Washington, the a7th,

gates have held 4 meeting, and decided to.
oppose the Nebraska Bill. The Sqns, to a
man, voted 20 Oppose the bill, and some Of
.hc IIards also. The Ohio Democratic
members ofthe House have also held .
meeting, and il is reported that they dscid-
ed unanimously to- vote against Tho BILL
Every Whig member FROM the Free States
will no DOUBT vote against the Douglas in
iqiity, and we trust a host Of Democrats
will follow the lead Of BsSroS against the
bill in the House.
From Missouri there is d loud vote OF op.
position, Tho ST. Louis Democrat, Col.
BENroS's organ, declares the Douglas bill
for the organization Of Nebraska territory,
tosbe in "direct conflict with the Missouri
compromise Of 1920, with Texas annexa-
ton resolutions of 1915, and with the COM
promise measures Of 1850" The, Denoeret
says:
Each of those was ! measure which, for
the time being, gave satisfaction to the
South; aud the lovers OF peace and harmony
throughout The country have battered them
selves that the yexsd questions which had
caused so much ill-blool, and, as some tho't
had brought the Union so near 70 the verge
Of destruction, were heaceforth put at rest
forever. This fond hope is destined to GER
tain disappointment, as indications in many
quarters 90 to satisfy u.s.. 1t might natural
ly be expected that, if compromises and ad-
justments entered into under SO many and
such solemn sanctions are now to be dlsre-
garded, the disregard would manifest itself
not in the South, which got all it contended
for, but in the North, which on syery coca
sion gave up The whole matter in dispute
But this again would be a mistake. we
shall not only have an agitation as
active as any that has gone before, but it
will come from that section OF country and
from that class of politicians who falsely
pretend to deprecate any thing OF the kind.
After cnumerating somo Of the proris-
ions of the bill. the Democrat refers to other
Senators partaking of the political predi-
l~ections Of Douglas, who are also laboring
"again to bring upon the nation to turmoil
Of another anti-slayery and pro-slayery agi-
%tation," and emphatically dsclarss that
."Nonc ofthem deserves well Of the coun-
try, and all Of them are justly responsible
for whatever consequences may ensue."
The St. Louis Iatdigeacer, an able G. in
fuential Wing paper, takes strong grounds
against the repeal of the Missouri Com
promise. 1t inquiries, elias not Missouri
long recognised and stood by the Act known
by that namei" and replies:
The OILY question with Missouri will be,
what is the path Of duty and honor, to her
self and TO the Union, when her citizens
come to give their opinion on the organizes
ton of Nebraska. Ii Nebraska shall require
the Missouri Compromise, and the Com-
promise of 1850, to be repeated, to enable
her to make slave Territory and Il slave
State, and q bone Of contention in the In
ion, Missouri, perhaps, Will have the firm
ness to say, "Nebraska asks too much
Young maidens should be modest and not
dictate to or disturb a family group Of elder
and contented sisters"
The Lexington, (Mo.) Express also avows
decided opposition to the repeal Of the Mis-
souri, Compromise, aud any encroachment
on the Compromises of 1850. Gen. Thomas
l.. Price, in declaring himself a candidate
for Congress in the Lexington district, a
vows his adherence to the Missouri Com
promise. The InteRigeRcer says:
"The district in which these sentiments
are expressed with so much promptness and
decision, is us largely Interested in slave
property as perhaps any other in the State,
and the facts now noted in that district are
significant.
