NEBRASKA AGAIN BEFORE COM
sssg9sF SKA ~ GREsS. lfss ilffe Htl5'

On Wednesday last, Mr.. Mace Of Indiana,
brought up before the House of Representa-
tives the Nebraska Kansas blk and made d
speech against it. He offered bill providing
that slavery shall be excluded from the Terri
tories of Nebraska and Kansas. This, in eff
feet, was proposition to repeal the Nebraska
bill passed at the last session. In the discus
sion that took place, it was declared by Mr..
Washburn, of Maine, that the North would not
rest until the Missouri restriction shall be re-
stored. These gentlemen were successfully
replied to by Mr., Oliver, of Missouri. Yester-
day, Mr.. Stephens, of Georgia, who always
speaks ably, continued the discussion in a
strong and eloquent speech. R
It's not surprising that the anti-Nebraska
men and the members of the "Emigrant So
cieties," should feel gravelled by the election
Of a Nebraska Democrat from Kansas as a
Delegate to Congress. 1t is not surprising
that they should wiring their hands and tear
their hair when they contemplate the failure OF
their scheme for peopling the new Territory Of
Kansas with Freesoilers. They should be per.
mitted the indulgence extended to all losers
that of scolding.
We hope that their lamentations and jere-
maids will not be replied TO. To make the
measure that occupied 80 much of the time of
the last Congress the subject of discussion at
this session, would be God-send to the oppo-
nents of it. They delight in agitation, and
would rail against slavery until the crack OF
doom, if they could but get disputants to
wrangle with them. ats,a
This is the short session. A vast deal Of
business will come before Congress, and twill
be a waste of time to discuss over again sub.
ject so thoroughly discussed, SO ably illus
trated, and SO gloriously settled, as was this
subject at the last session. None can gain BY
it but the anti-Nebraska men; and all that
they can gain is-agitation. a

Repeal that act, and you may at once agree
upon your council being dictated to, by the
Abolitionists of the North.
"Our people need not fear the schools will
cease on account of the threatened withdrawal
of the present teachers, by the American Board,

knows the danger of permitting Abolitionists
to scatter their incendiary doctrines among the

prevent it. He treats their threats with scorn,

late for his nation for such, in effect, is their
object. i aes,
But for the incendiary papers, books, and in
structions disseminated by Abolitionists among
the Southern States, the States Of the South
would never have prohibited the teaching of
their slaves. Driven out Of the South, on ac-
count of their villainies, the Abolitionists
sought refuge among the Choctaws, where, after
the manner of too many, unworthy men, they
thought to mould, to their own views, the gov
eminent OF that more unenlightened people,
But, detected there as in the Southern States, in

institutional the nation, they were promptly
and properly met with vigorous and sensible
enactment that prohibited them from teaching

the protectionists. They have always seen
that such list would have precisely the same
operation as the leyying ofdaties for the purpose
Of protection. 1t throws taxation off from the
shoulders Of the manufacturers, and accumu-
lates it on those commodities which come into
competition with their own fabrics, and thereby
enables them to reap rich harvest at the ex-
pense of the other interests Of the nation. 1t
is matter of surprise, therefore, to see a
Democratic Secretary Of the Treasury putting
forth such a scheme as that which has been
recently submitted to Congress, saying all
the while that he does not wish to depart from
the principle that duties should be levied for
purposes Of revenue, and not for protection.
We are pointed to the example of England
and other manufacturing nations, and we are
told that we should counteract their legislation
by making the same articles free under our
laws which are free under theirs five heed
this advice, we will turn backward towards the
Chinese policy Of restriction, and deliberately
throw away the results of our labors. 1t has
been the pride Of the Democratic party that it
has taken the lead, and has cope in advance
toward Free-trade, and that its liberality has
induced England and other nations to relax
their restrictions and extend to us the benefits
Of q more liberal commercial policy. The Sec
rotary of the Treasury would have us undo
what we have done-to throw away the fruits
Of our exertions-to retrace our steps in order
to confer on our manufacturers privileges and
immunities which will enable them to compete
successfully in foreign markets. He would
have us frame, Revenue laws on foreign
models and fix our scale of duties as they fix
theirs admitting, free whatever what they adj
NIT free and taxing what they tax. The Sec
rotary can see no abandonment Of the revenue
principle in pursuing such a course; but we
doubt not that the country viii see in it, not
only an abandonment of that principle, but a
close imitation of the restrictive systems Of
Europe. The people will remember thatain
1874, the Wings gave the same advice which
the Secretary Of the Treasury gives now--that
they urged us to counterfeit the legislation OF
other nations by initiating their example, and
that they declared that ruin must come upon
the country unless we framed our revenue laws
with the view of encouraging domestic manu-
features and protecting the manufacturing in
terest from foreign competition. We have
more to say on this subject. ~
