differences and sent man to Washington OF
whose opinions and zeal on this question they
had no doubt.
Meantime in the State Of New York public
opinion draws every day nearer to unan-
nous expression on this question. The Fill
more wing OF the Wing party has hitherto
either been silent on the Nebraska fraud. or
has seemed to favor it, Now, its organs have
spoken out in condemnation Of the repeal of
the Missouri Compromises The Buffalo Com
mercial advertiser, the reputed organ Of Mr..
Fillmore, led the way on Friday, in . long aud
elaborate article, in which it says:
The very reasons which impelled us to q
constant advocacy Of the Compromise Meas
ures of 1850, still bind us to firm adherence
to them, and forbid that we should countenance
q renewal Of the agitation which was 30 happi-
y laid asleep We regard Douglas and the
present Administration as guilty, not only Of
disturbing the public tranquility, but Of at
tempting violation Of public faith. Their
Territorial bill is no more intended to carry
out the Compromise of 1850, than was the ia
nous Trojan horse designed as an offering TO
the goddess Minerva. 1t is not what it claims
TO be- 1t Is only huge hobby in which its
fabricators expect to ride into the White
House, rs the nrtful Greeks were borne into
Troy concealed in the belly of their pretended
Offering. If it il expected that the friends Of
the Compromise will pull at the ropes, we have
only to say, for our part that we see through
the artifcc"
The Albany STATE Register, another organ Of
the Silver Grays in its sheet of this morning,
expresses on equal hostility to the bill, but, as
King Lear says
-" in better phrase and manner"
From an article of some length in the Slate
Register, we take this passage.
The conservative Wings of the State love
the Constitution, and are content to abide by
all its behests, but they do not love Slavery.
They will obey in all things-and that in no
technical or narrow 00nstrncti0n-the require
ments Of the Consultation, but they will not
yield one inch to Slavery beyond what il fair
ly nominated in the bond They have suffer
ed by their irmness in sustaining the Compro-
misses of 1850; for insisting upon the binding
force of it. and giving full effect to the Fugitive
Slave Law, for affirming that it was in strict
accordance with the Constitution, and that it
was due, under the provisions Of that instru-
ment which they held as the highest law, to
the slayeholding States. But they will be Just
az firm in resisting the repeal Of a law which
stands between Slavery and Freedom, between
slave labor and free labor, between progress
and retrogression, between enterprise and inn
mobility, between . civilization which is in ac-
cordance with the popular and moral sense Of
the world, and that which assimlates to the
institutions Of barbarian, and against which
the enlightened world justly protests
We have already, more than once, spoken of
the hostility with which the German popula-
ton Of our city regard Mr.. Douglass bill Read
the following passage, translated from tho
dbend- Zeitung of last evening:

independently Of the Slavery question, or Of
ure. The repeal of the Missouri Compromise
will close the door to European immigration
into the fertile Territories of Nebraska and
Kansas. For the free man cannot, and will
not, work by the side Of the negro slave The
current of lusty labor, which for years has been
flowing westward, and has borne with it pros
perity, greatness, and power, will be turned Of
from country whose area is equal to that of
all the free States together. Only Wisconsin,
Iowa, and Minnesota would be left and con-
sequently, in a short time land would rise con-
siderably in value, there being no country
further west to keep down the price. Under
such circumstances, we should hear nothing
more of the Land Reform and Homestead bills
and, indeed, the advocates Of the Nebraska bill
have already openly declared in Congress- that
it is the death blow to the Homestead BILL
Hence, to urge the passage Of the Nebraska
bill is nothing else than seeking to check the
immigration Of foreigners. For, in the first
place, they would diminish in numbers; in the
second they would lose the Importance they
now have, or may obtain, when they can no
longer spread themselves over large surface
Of Western country, make their numerical pre-
ponderance felt, and acquire that independence
which gives the husbandman, who owns his
farm, 80 great an advantage over the journey
man in towns. II then, the Germans should
support this bill, they will be making common
cause with the natives against the foreign ele-
man immigrants, whose cheerful progress to
responsibility and wealth, al we Zee it in Wis
consin and Iowa, will be cut short by the pas
sage Of this billn
