ment of the fugitive slave law, as manifestly
just, and only just to the South, as it was. They
further point to the fact that, in too many
cases, the obligations of that law has been kept
only to the ear, and that the number of slaves
successfully absconding to and through the
non-slaveholding States, since its enactment,
has increased, it may be, ten fold. They,
therefore, set little value on the votes of North
ern gentlemen in favor Of that law, who now
demonstrate, as it were, that they SO voted only
to advert the danger to the North, involved in
refusing to pass it under the circumstances;
rather than under the influence of the senti-
ment of duty to recognise the binding force of
the great principle of non-intervention of the

views in conversation.

On Tuesday next, the freemen of Iowa County
will again have the privilege of casting their votes
for candidate for Congress for this District,
State Senator, Members of the Legislature, and
for the several County officers 10 be filled, for the
next two years. The only question before the
people, aside from the personal qualifications of
the candidates is that forced upon them by the
last session OF Congress, in the passage of the
bill organgiziEg the Territories of Nebraska and
Kansas. which bill repeats the Missouri Compro-
mise, and opens 10 slavery all the Territory of the
United Stafes. We ask the voters 10 consider well
upon this subject, and remember that vote for
the ticket nominated by the called Democratic
party is more nor less than an approval so far
oil the Nebraska bill. The Democratic party. al
their Congressional Convention passed strong
Resolutions in approval of that bill, and the Con
vention that nominated the County and Senatorial
ticket. was composed in part OF men who ro'ed
for those resolutions, and though they fit TO
keep mum at that Time they still approve them.
and consider their candidates reliable Nebraska
men.
The Republican candidates are all strong Anti
Nebraska men and are willing TO show their
hands upon that, any other question. We ask
no man TO vote contrary to his own honest views
but there has been a strong effort made 10
make the in some localities beie that the
Democratic ticket is anti Nebraska, we hope all
will examine the question and see how the par
ties stand-one strongly committed to tha cause
OF Freedom in the Territories of the United
States while the other wishes to be considered
as non committal, while all its acts are directly
approving the Bill of Douglas permitting slavery
in all the Territories not even excepting Minneso-
Ia.
1t is true, the election of county officers has
direct bearing upon the Nebrask, question.
but recollec; that in supporting the Democratic
County ticket, you vote for men who themselves
vote for the Nebraska candidates for Congress and
the Legislature If they are anti Nebraska men,
they are in bad company. and should be taught
the lesson received by poor Tray
Let the voters do their duty and let those who
support men that are bound to support bad meas
nres, share the fate due to those who advocate

more than ordinary abilities. He has read much

of the cause of Freedom, and firm opponent to

DrKR, is openly friendly TO that measure and has
no hesitation in letting his views be known, as
a Nebraska man While Mr.. Love would oppose
the election OF Nebraska man TO the u S Sea
ate, Mr.. DYER would willingly cast his vote for
such a candidate. In voting for Assembly men,
voting directly upon this question. for the
next Legislature is TO choose U. 5. Senator.

he is good man tor the office, in every respect,

Modern Democracy, led astray by it's new

the faith OF It's fathers, claims that the ordi-
