A FRAUD BEHIND Al FRAUD

Nebraska bill, says Of the clause directly au.
thorizing Slavery to enter this Territory:
Z For ourselves we believe that the repeal Of
the Missouri Compromise would restore the
condition Of the Territory, in this respect, to
that of its original organization, as colony Of
France and Spain; and that by Mr. Douglass
bill it would continue to be a slave Territory
until its local Legislature should prohibit Sla-
very by q law, to which Congress should, by a
formal act, assent
This il point Of great Importance, and
should not be overlooked among the other grave
objections to this 1agitions project. BY the law
of the land in Louisiana, at the time we receiy-
ed that province from France, Slavery was a
recognised institution within its borders. The
Missouri Compromise prohibited Slavery in all
that part OF Louisiana which lay beyond SO
deg. 80 min. north latitude, the northern bound
airy Of Arkansas. If we repeal the prohibitory
clause in the Missouri Compromise, do we not
restore the old state Of things If we pass an
act, declaring that clause imperative, do We not
leave the law Of Slavery on which it operated.
in its original force?
Rely upon it. this ground will be taken the
moment that Douglass bill passes. Register
that bill among the acts Of Congress-, and you
will then be shown the trap which has been
sprung upon you, and informed that You have

THE NEBRASKA MEETING
A very large and intelligent audience assem-
bled last night in the Court House, in pursu-
ance Of the call Of Mayor Volz to express
their indignant opposition to the bill intro
duced in Congress by Senator Douglas, hav-
ing for its object the extension Of Slavery into
Nebraska Territory.
On motion, Mayor Volz took the chair.
Messrs Charles Avery, Luke Loomis John
Irwin, and John Chambers were elected Vice
Presidents.
Messrs f. D. Gazzam Henry Woods, f. H.
Stowe, and John Barton were chosen Secreta-
ries.
His Honor the Mayor, in few words,
stated the object Of the meeting
Hon. C. Darragh was londy called for, and
responded in very eloquent manner.
DIR. Gazzam moved the appointment Of a
Committee Of five, to draft resolutions expressive
of the sense Of the meeting which was agreed
to.
The Chair appointed DIR. Gazzam, and Messrs
Aaron Floyd, Thomas BLACKWELL, George w.
jackson, and d. N. White. The Committee
then retired
Daring their absence, VIM. M. Shinn, Esq,
responded to a call Of the audience in happy
manner, and with great effect.
The Committee, ut the conclusion of Mr..
Shinn's address, through their chairman, Mr..
Gazzam, read the following resolutions
For want Of room, we omit all except the
closing one.
Resoired, That tho State Senators and men,
bers Of Assembly from this district are re-
quested TO introduce TO the Legislature resolui
tions Of instruction on this subject to our Sena-
tors in Congress.
Hon. Jasper +. Brady protested against their
violence. They were inexpedient because un-
conciliat0ry Of Democratic votes, without which
the measure could not be successfully opposed
Ia reply, DIR. Canaan made most earnest
and eloquent address, defending the resolutions
because they contained the truth. II was time
to do away with expedienoy; all parties had
assembled there, aud they gave the honest OK
preston Of Americans against q contemplated
gross outrage.
The vote being taken, but two voted against
the resolutions-Messrs. Brady and Charles
Barnet
On motion, the meeting adjourned.
The "GAMEp OF PoLIrIcs-They who de-
sire to understand how the science Of politics
is practically treated by party trcksters, will
derive instruction from the perusal Of the fol-
lowing:
alt may be admitted that the earlier states
men of this country wished to circumscribe the
limits Of Slavery, aud il is supposed also that
they contemplated It's extinction. But circum.
stances have since arisen, tending to render
Slavery more profitable than il then was. The
introduction of the cotton culture and the ac-
QUESTION Of territory beyond the Mississippi,
have given prominency and value to the in
stitution that was scarcely anticipated by the
founders Of this Government. But still the
tendency OF American progress has been con-
stantly adverse to Slavery, and obnoxious TO
the political interests involved in los support.
Viewed as q political question, Slavery has
been, and still IL, on the decline. The non
slaveholding interest has nothing 10 fear on
this score. The only real issue ia whether we
shall exclude from Congress future agitation on
this subject, by leaving It TO the adjustment
Of the communities concerned, or not. No one
would give much, presume, for all the slaves
that will ever be carried into Nebraska; and
Senator Dixon may rest assured that the coun-
try will, even without any restriction he set
tied chiefly by 'Abolitionists, Free Sellers, and
foreigners that IL by non-slayeholders and
by free labor.
aThe Administration claims credit for hay-
ing foresecn and prepared for the adoption OF
the non Intervention policy. They rest the
wisdom OF the coalition upon this question. Il
they had excluded the Sellers from share
of the spoils. then, as they now say, they would
have had the whole North against them on the
Nebraska question. But as matters are, they
expect to carry for the bill large portion OF
the Northern Democrats, and even those who
acquiesed in, without approving, the Compro-
mise Of ls50.n--Cor. Bali. Sun, Feb. 4.
