the n. w. Territory to Freedom
and whereas, the unanimous adop.
ton OF said Ordinance, by the Rep
resentatives of all the States in the

that opposition TO the extension Of
Slavery, to the extent Of Constitu-

our fathers; and whereas, we regard

gross and wanton violation OF the

Mr.. EDTroR:-The Democracy OF
our town aud vicinity met at our school,
house on Saturday last. for the purpose
Of appointing delegates, to attend the
District Convention, to be held ia Cam
bridge City on the 20th list.
On motion James Salyer was appoint
ed chairman, after which a motion be-
ing made nnd carried, that the chair
man appoint the delegates to attend
said convention, he proceeded to APP
punt five. all strong Nebraska men.
This is modern Democracy and pop
ular sovereignty; not to allow the mas
ses to act, even in the sole ction Of their
delegates, this is Democratic popular
sovereignty in good earnest. Strong
resolutions were passed endorsing the
Nebraska Kansas Bill. After the reso-
buttons were passed, LATE Develin, de-
livered himself Of speech of an hour
and half in length, in favor OF the Me-
brasku Kansas Bill. But it was mise
rablc failure. II evidently fel far short
of what was expected by either the
friends or opponents OF the Bill. The
Anti-Nebraska men seemed much ella
le after hearing the speech, its friends
I | think were rather depressed in
spirits. He certainly made some Of the
widest shots ] ever witnessed, one oil
which must notice, he said he "eould

never lets an opportunity alp. TO stab
religion as we'll as temperance. Every
few weeks there Is some slur. on one or
the other. or both. Any account Of der
ELECTION on the part Of friends OF moral.
ity, is seized upon and published with
apparent pleasure. This is necessary
In order to please that portion ofhis sub
scribers who lounge about drinking
houses and delight In such scandal. No
wonder then, that his paper IL popular
among them, nor that those who have
respect Tor the morals OF their children
are becoming disgusted with II. When
the questions Is to be settled are Of a
moral character, as are the questions
now before the people; rum, slavery
and Romanism, the advocates OF these,
must cater to the vitiated tastes Of the
friends OF such causes.
Time was, when the measures at is
sue were purely political, and man
might advocate or denounce the bank or
tariff, or sub-treasury, and yet preserve
his moral integrity. But, when ques-
tons like the present are at stake. birds

vocates of the great moral wrongs,
must resort to such means as will please
those who favor those wrongs.
Last week our neighbor published
with apparent pleasure, what purports
to be a letter from a church member,
just in the midst of revival Of religion,
who had sent his father to the poor
house!
The object OF such a publication il
too obvious, and taken in connection

while unfolding the liquor interest. We
commend that paper to all who would
have the mind Of their children poison
