Il, Editor of the National Era:
:. ga have bsd some excitement here on the
~. of Nebrsskaism, we want our friends oil
@oI,y.01 Line Democracy TO know that We are
DC ia field, and intend to maintain it. We
w on;ted with the Wings of this district on
y" Richard Yates, against T. L. Harris, the
IA candidate. The Democrats of this
s+,;ot have as yet made but poor show
n ng had small Conventions-for instance,
'S,J 5sing able in Scott county, to raise Con-
-to1 of seven men, TO endorse Douglas and
v. yebraska- Kansas bill
Nor Harris has shouldered the issue, and
s1eeoh in this place on the I'd instant, he
It'd 10 maintain il, but the opinion gen.
' '1s entertained is, that he did not make it
e.. \. was followed by Yates, in q very able
'E.oton of his course in Congress, and an
...sfOn Of the course of the Douglas faction
In Democratic party; concluding with
:. that TIE Missouri Compromise would be
.tlI.,oI en- our statute book.
h was agreed between Harris and Yates
!. Harris should have second speech but
q. snsience n, 900 or / 200 mep) would not
~. until Yates arose, and requested them
- 30, Harris; which they did for fifteen min
80. when their olsmors became SO loud, tina
5.,,;, desisted, amid deafening shouts for Lin
~ AN ex- M. c., who gave us, the same event
- an snti-Nebraska speech of three hours
.'s,b amid thunders Of applause. So you
:. hat Presidential humbugs don't win here.
n-pglas has said that he intends to stump
a.. Sstrict in favor of Harris; but he will
= 80 fa-. until no finds that Yates, Lincoln,
AN outraged constituency, live here. We
- a very severe conflict, especially as this
!. $a capital district and in view Of this we
4 =. 5. work and expect to be 30.
Ne have two Anti-Nebrasks papers in this
.rn which are doing much good. The Era
IN has share in the glory-a large one.
The Democrats have raised the cry of Abo-
r5n but their denuncistions only recoil upon
.5Tir own heads, rendering them doubly ride
aDus.
Why will our friends concede to the Ad-
u5uii.tratiOn party the title Democratic Never
Va: good name so prostituted. Call them
Hmkers, Pierce men, Administration men,
y.5raskaites, Slavery men - anything but
lslocrats. They are not Democrats. They
,,;e outraged Democracy, and true Demo-
II. have abandoned them.-Ed. Era.l

T,k Editor of The National Era:
Tie passage Of the Nebraska bill has caused
yl:b feeling and excitement-indeed, it has
auqd grea. solemnity among the people in
Oegor. Ii is ono of the most infamous acts
ne, perpetrated in the American Congress God
rspr can nor never will give his appreciation
sor bless such wicked legislation as tho pas
aye Of taa Nebraska bill No wonder the clergy
Jsltion Congress in the name of Almighty
cd Solomon says, "When the wicked rule
the IsoTio mourn - and when the President
Of tie United States, together with members
Of Congress that voted for the infamous mess-
ue appear before the God of the universe to
Save. will meet them therea And if the Judge
lh0uId say, Depart from me, ye workers of
in;qIity, never knew you! Oh, solemn thought
Nay God grant the speedy repeal of such a law,
should To the prayer of every true Christian.
Indeed, day of prayer should be set apart
throughout the United States, that God would
s5cTt tie evil just committed by his wicked
and ungodly children. OREGON.
SPRINGFIELD, ONO, Sept. 8, 1854.
70 lhs Editor Of The National Era:
In Ohio and some other States, rs you
know, tho old parties have agreed to waive
thair old prejudices and whims and form q
body whc shall be as phalanx of Freedom,
to fght against the the further enoroachments
q Slavery. And this movement has been en-
tered into with great deal of grit and energy
bys TSc old rank and file" Wings and
Rmocrats who have SO long chung to their
ID parties and prejudices have renowned
them saying, "they cannot stand this crown
ng &C: of the tyranny Of the Slave Power, in
TIE passage of the Nebraska Bill, and the con-
sequent repeal of the Missouri Compromise"
The fusion has been formed hero with en-
ergy and much good feeling. And it is to be
hoped this effort of the friends of humanity
and freedom will be successful in the final over
throw Of Slavery in our happy Republic, and
Institutions BETTING free and independent
people be reared in their place.
There Was quite large and enthusiastic
meeting of the people of this county some two
weeks since, for the purpose of speaking out
their feelings in regard to that Nebraska ini-
llity. And they all, with one accord, united
Il cJnGemning it, as unlawful, infamous, and
dssraeeful to the country and its perpetrators.
Inc meeting closed in harmony and good feel
ns, and will, no doubt, result in good. Such
meetings as these are being held in almost
every county seat throughout the State, and
the result will be felt and heard at the next
RESIDENTIAL election, to the furthermost region
q Slavery.
