"THE NEBRASKA BILL. We have mislaid the pa

called the Independent Democracy" signed by
some six or eight personages, who rank among the
political magnets of the land-among them is one
from Ohio-a Mr.. Giddngs, of whom we knew but
little except what we have heard In the "noise and

Of his speeches. and therefore do not know whether
he man of originals or quotations. 1t is mat

any other useful purpose.
We are satisfied that Ohio, and most of the free
States will uphold the Constitution in the passage of

We trust the Editor of the Commercial may not
find he is mistaken so far as the Wings of the South
are concerned.

referred to, provides that the Missouri Compromise
Shall not operate in that part of the territory of
any other territory belonging to the United States,
which lies North of the Missouri Compromise line,
but that the question Of slavery in all cases hereaf
