When the Little GIANT" Douglass iatrodu.
ced his bill for the organization of the territory
Of Nobraska, the prospects Ofthe Administration
were aaGtering. Never had chief Executive
taken bis seat under more favorable circum-
stances, .hSa did Gen. Pierce, and things I'd
TO this important epoch had not run counter to
his desires; but at this fatal hour, when the Ad-
ministraton wishing 10 make itself notorious,
and provide for the remote contingencies Of
1855. an ill-eOneeiyed policy was the begin
ing Of ozark days" 70 the hitherto prosperous
Administration.
Douglas introduced bis bill with the expee.
tatlOn of strong backing BY the whole Execu-
ton branch Of the Government, & thereby rush
his measure quickly through Congress; but
when the bill was before the Senate, notWith-
standing its backing, it stsck for time. and
all It's hidioUs deformities exposed. The Whole
country became excited upon the greatquestion
involved in It's passage; and during the pen
deRcy Of the bin, wherever the people were
called upon, they raised their united voice
against the measure. When a Senator was
to be chosen in the State of Maine. to take his
seat during the Nebraska excitement, Fessenden
an Anti Nebraska Viii G, was electe d.
When legislature was to be elected In
Nee% Hampshire, with special reference to
the selection Of two Senators in room Of Norris
and Williams both OF whom favored the bill, an
entire Anti Nebraska Legislature was chosen,
Even in the kings own" State the favorite
measure Of the Administration was denounced.
Also in Connecticut and Rhode Island States
that were largely Democratic, the Admins.
tration shared the same fate at the hands Of the
people--A nd Nebraska officers were chosen
And since the passage of that "Bill of
denominations" the excitement has grown n;s1- Nigh
er, and greater demonstrations have been, and
are being made. II every State North Of Ma
soG and Dixon's line, wherein elections have
been held, the voice of the people has been
been made to resound in Numbering tones. In
Iowa, the State that so re:ently refused to
adopt the Wilmot Proviso, an Anti Nebraska
Wing was elected Governor, and an Anti Neb-
raska Legislature chosen. And in Missouri a
similar result is seen, under the influence ofI
this odious measure. And when we turn our eve
to the New England States, we behold still
greater results. We see "clean sweep" made
by the Anti Nebraska men of the Green Noun
thin State-Vermont has traddeu down old
organizations and completely routed the Ad. !
ticket. Royce the Anti Nebraska
candidate for Governor was elected by over I
10000 majority, and the Legislature stands
with large majorities. in both Houses, over the
Administration party. Nor is this all Maine
las made another ''clean sweep"-the entire
Republican ticket elected with large majorities.
These results afford glory enough for this day;
but it will no: stop here. In the States of New
York, Pennsy lVania, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana
&c. where the elections for 1854 have not been
held, butwhere union Of all parties opposed to
the Administration has been made in behalf of
freedom, there is much TO cheer us. There is
one continued out bursh of indignation against
the party that has sold itself to the Slave inter.
Psts Of the South There is much to cheer us
IN Ohio, the doom Ofthe slaveocracy is sealed |
The hand writing has appeared upon the wall |
The acts Of these political demagogues have
been weighed in the balance of public opinion,
and are found wanting. And the indignant cry
is heard from tile populace, cast out these un
profitable servants.
Voters of Carroll, with these things before
you-in view Of the recklessness and utter
Prodigacy Of these political tracksters, and
in view of the prospects of their entire over.
throW-what is your duty? Let every free |
men Who has the good of his caantry at heart
and who is labOring to disseminate those pr;n.
ciPles by which human liberty is secured,
march boldly Up to the ballot box on Tuesday
next, and there deposit his sentiments for the
benefit of generations yet unborn.
We are proud to say that on the State and
County Anti'N Nebraska ticket, we have men of
integrity. And especially in our candidate for
Congress, John A. Bingham, freedom has a
jealous advocate and firm supporter. Then
We say to the polls. and let not the flag of free.
dom trail in the dust. In ''little Carroll"
