people Of Washington against the, Nebraska bill,
requests our testimony to the fact We care bound
both in candor and politeness to comply with the
Union's request, although we took no part in the
canvass and spoke with very few persons on the
subject. But as far as our knowledge extends, we
car very confidently say that the Nebraska question
did not enter into the contest, and we presume was

When the Nebraska Bill was pending in Con-
it was defended by Democratic presses at the North
and South on directly opposite grounds, and since
it has become law the same difference of opinion
continues to prevail. Whilst leading Democratic
presses at the North commend the act for the rea-
that gives full sanction to squater sovereignty,
the Southern Democratic presses repudiate this in
terprttation of it and congratulate their readers
that This odious feature was voted down and omit
ted. The following view of the act, by which the
jackson "Mississippian" seeks to make it accepta-
BILE to the South, contrasts directly with the sam
