A Nebraska Settler.

Douglas spoke at Quincy, Illinois, on the
9TH. The Quincy Patriot says
After the Judge finished, nine-tenths Of
the crowd addressed by Douglas, marched
over in front of the Court House, and after
brief and spirited ADDRESS from A. Jones,
ESQ.,, adopted Anti Nebraska resolutions by
a very large majority Of votes.
Thus ended the most splendid iallure"o
a Nebraska demonstration, on record. The
fact is that all the time, during the address
Of Judge Douglas. a majority Of those pres
ont were anti-Nebraska men.
The following were the resolutions passed.
Rcsoirsd, That the repea Of the Missouri
Compromise, thereby opening all the terri
tories north of 36 deg. 30 sec 10 the intro
duction Of slavery, was breach Of national
faith. contrary 10 the policy of the Fathers Of
the Republic --was unca'led for and unnec-
cssary--and IN our opinion, all concerned in
this iniquitous measure deserve the condem-
nation of the people OF the free States.
Resolred, That our Seniors IN Congress
aud Representative from this district merit
the censure Of their constituents for their
aid and votes in favor of the repeal Of the
Missouri tompronise, thereby reopening
the slavery agitation.
The resolutions wore then put and carried
by very largo majority Of the very same as
sembly that Ind listened to Doug IS We
watched closely when the vote was put, aad
to the best of our knowledge and belief
there were about three or four in favor &c
one against the resolutions.

A Trout Caught.

When the crisis was penilng ia the last
Congress on the effort to rcpea the Missouri
Compromise, for "a considerable period there
seemed TO be a clear and determined major
iiy against the project. Yet 20 the amaze
meut Of the people, portion of this majority
cayed in at each successive step IN tho pro.
gress Of the h,li through the House. Penn.
sylvania furnished a portion of the phlbie
material which secured these successive trI-
umphs to the friends of sectional agitation,
and among the PcnnsylvanlAns who thus
misrepresened the feelings Of their consiit-
uents, was Mr.. NJ. {. Trout, from the dis
trct composed of Beaver, Lawrence, and
Mercer counties, one Of the strongest Free
SOIL and auti-slavery sections OF this State.
First Trout voted to 90 mo committee, while
all who were really opposed TO the bill voted
against dong SO. Then he went on IN the
same way until IL came to the final vote,
when he voted against the bill. The preyi-
Gus votes were to oblge his party and the
administration. This last was tor his con-
stituents. But, as the sequel shows, the de-
cepilon was too transparent. When Con
gress adjourned, and Mr.. Trout returned 10
his district, one OF the able Piusburg daily
papers exposed his whole course 90 the BILL
and he had a sore account 10 render to his
anti slavery district lie endeavored to de
fend himself by pointing to his final vote
bu. II was Of no use. A candidate of the
real true blue Wing stamp was nominated
against him, the Hon. John Allison, and our
returns tell Us that he has been elected by
more than two thousand majority. That
Trout is decidedly caught. 5. GG-eiic.

TIL Know Nothingn State Convention
which met at fremont Temple in this city
on "Wednesday. nominated Henry J. Gard
ner, Of the firm Of Denny, Rice, & Gardiner,
in this city, for Governor, and Simon Brown,
Of Concord, editor of the New England Far
mer, for Lieut.. Governor. The Worcester
Transcript says
In the course of the debate, Henry Will
son. who was present IN the convention,
made speech, absolutely declining the
nomination.
The public are aware that he has already
managed to get Free Sollers nominated as a
majority of the Know Nothings candidates
for the Senate, and his plan is to trust his
chances of being made Governor through
them, rather than to the mss of the Know
Nothing party at large.
A resolution was adopted providing that
no one should receive the nomination who
had not been a member of the order-ai
least four weeks. This resolution cut OIL

The Free Soil, or Republican Convention,
for Norfolk county and the Third District,
met IN Dedham yesterday. but adjourned
without having made their nominations, to
Tuesday, Nov. 9Th. We learn from the
Journal that the cause of the hasty adjourn
ment was the introduction. by Mr.. Keyes OF
Dedham, of resolution, which some OF the
members considered as pledging the party
to the " Know Nothing" nominations. Dis
satisfaction was also expressed at finding
that among the Senatorial candidates for
whom delegates had Marked were one
Whg,and two of the nominees of the " Know
Nothngs." The preamble and resolution
referred to is as follows;
Wlereas, Roman Catholicism and Slavery
being alike founded and supported on the
basis of ignorance and tyranny, and being
therefore natural allies in every warfare
against liberty an enlghtment, be 1t
ResOiued, That there can exist no real
hostility 10 Roman Catholicism which does
not embrace slavery, its naturally ally and
co-worker, in opposition to freedom and re.

BY express to Sir George Simpson, via Red
River settlement AMER briefly noticing the
result of his own expedition and the difficult
ties with which they had to contend, he pro-
ceeds to state that from the Esquimaux he
had obtained certain information of the fate
of Sir John Franklin's expedition, who had
been starved to death after the loss of their
ships, which we're crushed in the ice, and
while making their way south to the great

Editor o,Uaiton's DAILY Journal -DEAR
SIR Some remarks having been made 10
JOINT assembly, last Friday, as To my posi-
ton on the habsas corpus act Of lS50, please
allow me, through your columns, a word IN
reply. If the Industrious gentleman who
no longer troubled by doubts as t, identity
has hunted my uame throu III the Journals OF
the abuse, could find but one assillable
point in my legislative action, in the records
Of two years, during which a Wing national
administration was in power, he certainly
cannot be congratulated on his success
Even concedng the accuracy of all that was
said and suggested by the worthy member
from Newfane (which ! shall dsprovcl and
that my views were not then fully up to the
present Anti Nebraska standard, | should
need no further defense for my position three
years ago, than to call attention to that of
his own favorite candidate, after all the in.
structive and enlightening developments Of
the last session Of Congress.
But, IN point of fact, the gen,lemsn's rep
resolutions are falsfied by the record The
habeas corpus act was passed with the de-
sign of counteractng, SO far as state leglsla-
ton could, the unjust operation Of the fugi-
tive slave law. 1t was hastily penned, at the
very close of the session Of 1880, and was
though, by May friends of the measure to
contain serious defects. My vote the next
year referred to in joint assembly was not
vote to repeal the act, but only its 9Th and
9Th seeuons-practically unimportant, yet

Governors Message.

If any one, Ton Powers included, finds
fault with ,he noel message OF GOV. Royce
he ought to be compelled 80 write one
himself Far perspicuity, directuess, com.
pqciness and consistency we have never seen
it surpassed, if equaed. Ii temperance
man failed 10 vote for Gov. r. because Dr.
Powers or somebody else told him that the
Judge was not reliable on the subject ofpro-
hibltlon, he must at least feel lttle ashamed
to find that the nr. is even less orthodox
than the distinguished individual whom he
sought to traduce and Willy. The Governor
takes high ground. aud expresses enighten
ed views on the subject that seems to have
paramount national importance just now, viz
the repeal OF the Missouri Compromise and
its correlatve denominations. lie is liberal
and right, in regard to the great matter Of
education. We hope the Legislature will
meet the subject candidly, and adopt wise
provisions in reference to it. With military
affairs we are too unacquainted to even
venture 10 express an opinion upon SO much
of the message as relates to the militia sys-
TEN. Let no one who has any feeling of in
terest in the sound administration of state
government, fail to peruse the whole of Gov.
Royce first state paper. Those who used
to read the annual message of the Governors
Of New York-Wnght, Marcy, Bouck and
