.uo,I,er Daring Nebraska outrage.

Another Daring NeDrdSAh OutFHSc'
The first Nebraska bill of Douglass was a das-
tcrdiy attempt, to- abrogate, 10 drguise. the Mis-
souri slave prohibition compact of 1920 The
fiaud being exposed, change was made into the
present Kansas and Nebraska bill. by which that
compact is declared to be imperative.
The Missouri Compromise excluded slavery
forever from all of the Louisiana territory purchas
ed of France, lying north of 56 deg. so min
The repeal of this Compromise throws open that
territory to slavery, but induce shareholders to
occupy aud fl up the territory speedily, another
outrageous swindle is resortel to. to offer premi
unns and Inducements to slavehoijers TO emigrate
with their ehotiles, under the guse of civilzing
and ciristaniziDg Indian tribes. Mr. Orr OF South
Caroline, with this fair, exterior pretence. hui
with the real design legislate slavery iuto the
territory, has prepared report and bill, to be in
troduced into the House which provides that each
Indian shall have certain portion of fland,each In
dian with wife an additional portion. and another
additional portion f1r children, and for SLAVES
still another additional portion, according to tAe
number Of sfdCrs he may possess'
The New York Tribune, from which we g1ther
the above facts remarks, that it is well understood
that some Of the Indians, half breeds and Indian
traders, inhabitiog Nebraska haze siaUes; and this
cunningly devised bill, under the disguise IF phi
lanthropic and humane regard for the Indians,
aims simply at legislative recognition of slavery
within the territory. To grant TO the owners oi
slaves pre- -einption to lands or less nccor-
ding to the number of their slaves, would be a
positive recognition ofte sort. 1t would legisate
slavery into the territory, after the passage of Mr..
Douglass bill had abroguted and repealed the act
of 1920, which "forever prohibited the insiifu-
tion from toking root on that soil.
Mr.. Orr's delightful Homestead bill provides as
follows:
"If single person, over the age of tweniy-one
years, one eighth of section; to each fitnily o
TWO. one quarter section; to euch family of three
aud not exceeding five. one half section; to eaet
family of six, and not exceeding ten, one section
and to each family ten, one additional quarter
section for every FIVE members; and to families
who own slaves, in addition to the foregoing, there
shall be allowed, if less than ten slaves, one hal
section; if teD. and rot exceeding fifteen, one sec
| ton; and for every ten above that number, one
seciiou.''
& Don't the people see that these couspirators ant
plotters capable of any species of cheat ant
fraud. falsepretence and deception. to accomplish
their purposes?
We suppose our good neighbor of the Sentinel
sioce he has entered upon the plantation service o
Senator Douglass, the Mississippi Shareholder
will go 10 with might aud main for Orr's corrup
and outrageous swindls 10 the name of Democrac
take his stand under the lead of South Carolina
Champion of Aristocracy and pfivileded orders!
But will the Homestead men, the Land Reforr
men, the landless men of his party in this county
sanction SO base and recreant aPestncy. from a
that is right and just, and from the well known
and long cherished principles of Jeffersouian De
y mocracy?
