THE TRUE DocTRINE.

We make the following extract from the files Of
this journal (the Standard) of June rs 1850
g MIR. SouLE's AMENDMENT Mr. Soules amend
ment to the sts Adjustment bill which passed the
Senate the 9TH instant, is as follows: 3
s. " That when the new Territories shall be admitted
as States they shall be received into the Union with
without Slavery, their Constitutions NAV pre-
scribe at the time of their admission"
This is the true doctrine. It passed the Senate by
the following heavy majority
YEAs-Messrs.. Atchison, Badger, Bell, Benton,
BerTlen. Bright Butler, Cass, Clay, Clemens, Coop
er, Davis of Mississippi, Dawson, Dodge of Iowa,
King, Mason Morton, Norris, Pearce, Pratt, Rusk
Sebastian, Shields, Soue, Spruance, Sturgeon, Tur-
ney, Underwood, Wales, Webster, Whitcomb, Yuee
Massachusetts,, Dayton, Dodge of Wisconsin, Greene,
Hale Miller, Smith, Upham, Walker-12"
Messrs. Badger, Cass, Douglas, Houston, and
Webster perceived voted for the great principle
embodied in Mr.. Mr.. Soule's amendment; and such
abotionists Chase, Hale, and Davis voted against
it Judge Douglas and Mr.. Cass are just where they
were in 1850 on this question; and we cannot see
how Mr.. Badger with this vote in his recollection
can oppose the Nebraska bill
While upon this subject quote as follows from
Mr.. Cahoun's speech the Oregon bill, delivered
in the Senate in June 1s49:
After an arduous struggle of more than year,

North and the South; but it done under crcum-

In opposition to her strenuous efforts. The South

power it asserted. She was voted down and simply
acquiesced in arrangement which she has had the
power to reverse, and which she could not attempt
to do without disturbing the peace and harmony of
the Union to which she has ever been averse. Act

Iowa to be- and the State to be admitted into the

York to prove her surrender of the power he claims

TO the Editor of the Asheuillee Neecs: :

me to allow my name to be presented before the

Considerations entirely personal would prevent me
from accepting the nomination if rendered, and
therefore desire that my name should not be used
in the Convention in that connection.

manifested in associating my with so distin-
guished position, and if supposed that our sue
cess in the ensuing campaign to be affected by
my determination, should not hesitate to offer up
my private interests sacrifice upon the altar
of our cherished principles; but there so many
distinguished men of our party, whose names have
been mentioned in connection with the nomination,
and who combine all the elements necessary to sue
cess that feel assured that my name can be with
drawn without impairng, i'll any degree, chances
for victory
We have every reason to anticipate glorious tri-

and by union, concert harmony and organization,
victory will be certain As private soldier in the

DIR. BAIRD's LECTURE.

DIR. Baird delivered, Tuesday and Wednesday
evening last in the Session House of the Presbyte-
rian Church in this City, interesting lectures the
past and present condition of Europe and especially
of Russia, Greece, and Turkey.
His lecture on Tuesday evening was confined
mainly to Russia, and that on Wednesday embraced
Greece and Turkey. These lectures were replete
with important information in relation to the habits
condition, and religions of the peoples and of the
strength of these empires and they were listened
to with marked attention by the audience. The
style of the lecturer is easy, conversational, and
though Astounding in DETAIL not at all calculated to
exhaust the patience of the hearer. He appears to
seek to give facts gathered from long residence
and personal observatory and leave the auditor to
draw his own conclusions than to announce for him.
self positive opinions and conclusions We listened
to both lectures with qualification and profit.
At the close of the lecture on Wednesday evening"
on motion of Rev. DR.. Lacy, the thanks of the au-
dience unanimously rendered to Dr. Baird, with
the request that he would, at convenient time
lecture more at length the condition of Europe.
