CAN SLAVERY EXIST IN NEBRAsKA! lit is Of
ten asserted that it cannot and that no practi-
cal Issue is now before the people, but the
Washington correspondent Of the New York
National Democrat said, on the oath ultimo:
In conversation which had this morn
ing with Col. Johnson, the accredited repre-
sentative here of the people Of Nebraska---and
who, by the way, is fair specimen Of the in
domitable pioneers Of the West-he informed
me that there are already some hundreds of
siaues az that Territory About hundred are
owned there, and the rest owned by people in
Missouri, who lease them to settlers in Nebras-
ka. So It will be seen that, contrary to the
general impression on the subject, the question
Is one Of immediate practical Importance"
We presume the testimony Of this witness
will not be impeaohed by the friends Of the
measure
THE PosITIoN OF PRESIDENT PIERcEs Or
cAN.-The Concord IN. HI Patriot, Of Febru-
airy lst says, in regard to the Nebraska bill Of
Mr. Douglas:
The bill provides for the application of the
principle Of the Compromise Measures to these
Territories; in other words, that the people Of
these Territories may decide for themselves,
whether they will have Slavery or not. To
reasonable and unprecedented minds, this APP
pears right and proper in itself The people
OF New Mexico, Utah, and California, were left
to settle this question for themselves, and there
IS no good reason why those Of Nebraska and
Kansas should not have the same privilege"
The time was when the Patriot thought
several good reasons could be found why the

- COOP TIME CoMINc.'-The tclegraphic
dispatches come thick and fast, that the uni
ted Cabinet are not a unit upon the Nebraska
bill We feared 80, and have been prepared
to look for the detection Of Mr. Marcy upon
the subject, when it should appear that the
Missouri line might DE declared az being in
operative. Sufficient straws have been blow
ing about by the failure Of all Of his known
organs to approve the measure, to demonstrate
that he himself is hesitating about the provi-
si0ns Of the bill
But we have one word to say to the Presi-
dent Of our election--we helped to make him,
and are privileged to advise: re Marcy shows
any INSTRUMENTATION, turn him out Garry
out you established policy in all walks Of the
party select sound national man for his po-
aition, and, the ice once broken, the corruption
surrounding You may be soon cleared away.
Then yon and the party will have what both
fail to enjoy--a good time. Never too late to
do good ~
Yes strike Mr.. Marcy Of, and your Cabi-
net will then equal 100000 with the unit
expnnged.
ORIGINAL PoRTRAlT.-It is stated in the Ba-
tavia Times that Bishop Delaney presented to
the St. James Church, Of that village, costly
stained glass window, bearing on it the figure
Of St. James, and this inscription: was sick,
and We visited me- The bishop was injured
a few years since by being thrown from his
carriage-the people Of St James incurred con-
siderable expense at that time to promote his
comfort Hence the gift and appropriate in
scription. This is a pretty incident. Our only
query is, did ST. James sit for that likeness?
