Democrats and Wings taking
Positions with regard to the
Nebraska Bill.

| From all the Indications which come to
us from the North and Northwest, we tlbnk
! it may be safely said tia, the principles in
volved in the Nebraska and Kansas bill,
which has Just passed the Senate by such
triumphant majority, are making clear and
unmistokeobie line of division there beiiceen
Democrats and Uhigs. This is as we antic-
ipated. We expected that the Wing party
ofthe North, associating with itself the Abo-
litlon and Free Soil elements of that section,
would denounce the bill, aud oppose the
great principle of non-interyention upon
which 1t rests. We expected this because
we supposed they would be true to their re-
corded actions and supposed antecedents.-
Hence, the recent demonstrations in Boston
and elsewhere, the almost universal action,
through the North, of Wing clergymen aud
orators, does not surprise us. " hat else
could be expected Of men who denounced
the acquisition originally of all this territory
purchased by the name of Louisiana, VINO
denounced the annexation of Texas, who de-
nounced the Mexican war, who denounced
the men who advocated aud defended the
Compromise Of ESQ and the Fugitive Slave
Law! There may be some exceptions to
the DIVISIONS of which we speak. 1t may be
that some Wings of the North will approve
Of the bill. 1t ~ possible that few demo-
Gratis may oppose some Of the details But
we apprehcnd that the exceptions IN this
case will only prove that there is a rule
We are aware that there may be democrats
who commended, in 1913, for the principle OF
non-intervention then announced by General
Cass, and who have been jealous supporters
OF the Compromise measures of 1850, which
recognized and enacted that prcniple, who
for the present withhold their assent from
the Nebraska bill. This we regret exceed
ingly for many reasons. As we have said
before, this paper does not make the details
of the bill for the organization of Nebraska
and Kansas party test. We have no pow
err, no authority to do it. As we under.
stand the matter, the President does not say
that he shall regard every man as an Abo
lihonist or Wing who refuses his assent
TO the details of the bill; but no man will be

Virginia Domination and

M Editor | have before me the Rich

Old Dominion. In the editorial department
ofthat paper, under the caption, VIRGINIA

but without describing theIn-and after let
ting off vollies of unseemly eplthets upon

ments, which should be generally known and
duly considered by the people Of the north.
Thus:

The President Caught in
Small Business.

During the late canvass in New Ilamp-
shire, the Administration newspapers pro-
tested that the Nebraska bill was not party
question, and some of the Presidents friends
went so far as to say that the President him
self was opposed to the bill. Unfortunately
the President himself was caught by .frunk-
ing Douglass speeches and letter in fdror Of
The bill thus exposing the dupicity of his
organs. Consequently honest democrats a.

RESOLVED, That Slavery being acknowl-

both political and a moral evil, and regard
ing il as especially Inconsistent wit the spir-

we hold 1t to be incontestlhy the right, OF
Congress to prohibit its introduction into all
territories of the United States, when organ
ized and that, for Northern Representa-
tive IN Congress to favor the extension of
this evil, is not only an outrage on the sa
cred rights aud sympathes of humanity, but
is also gross treachery to the interests of the
Free States.
Resoirsd, Tint we regard the author OF
the Nebraska bill and all its Northern aid
ers and abettors, as recreant to the North
and free principles, unworthy of public CON
fidence, and justly deserving the emphatic
rebuke their course is receiving among their
constituents

Hon. Geo. p. Marsh. We learn from our
correspondent at Constantiaople, that the
Hon. George P. Marsh, late minister resident
Of the United States near the Sublime Porte,
left there on the ooh December, FOR Malta,
on his way to sicily and Italy, where he in
tends spending the remainder Of the winter
with his family.
The selection made by the late General
Taylor, Of Mr.. Marsh for the post of minister
TO Turkey was one of the best of his admin
istraiion. His character as a gentleman and
scholar stands very high with all who know
him, and these rendered his residence at Con-
stantinoplc of much use to the reputation Of
his country and It's public men. No minister
stood higher at Constantlnope with the sui
tan and his ministers the diplomatic corps,
and with It's little American colony, than Mr.
Marsh, n man Of stern integrity, of uncom-
promising principles, Of honor, of profound
and correct judgment, of unblemished and
friendly manner. All the American citizens
at Constantinople offered him compliments
ry address expressive ofthe high sense which
they entertained for his character and services
in promoting their interests during his resi-
dence in Turkey He embarked on board
the French postal steamer, from the United
States corvette "Levant," which was then IN
the Bosphorous, and was honored with sa-

says;
Refaliatory Symptoms from The South.-We
have good reason to believe that in return
for the violent denunciation of the South by
the wings and abolitionists of New England,
movement is making throughout the South
ern States TO ascertain what Northern man
ufacturers favor the union of wings and abo-
litionists. Something is on foot, you may
depend upon it, which will have the effect
of materially changing the tariff.
In other words. if Northern men dare to
express their sentiments and defend their
rights, Southern men will attempt to ruin
their business. Chivalrousl

organized under his control.
Santa Anna had sent from Mexico a large

already arrived in the province of Acapulco,

would take place between the opposing for
