Nebraska Meeting at Bristol.

a large and enthusiastic meeting was
held in the Methodist Church in Bristol,
on the lith instant to discuss the meas
ure now before Congress repeating the
Missouri Compromise.
The meeting was organized by appoint
ing LUMAN MARSH Chairman. and T.
J. JACKSON Secretary.
A Committee was appointed to draft
Resolutions for the consideration OF the
meeting, who presented the following
Preamble and Resolutions:
JVhereas The measure known as the
Missouri Compromise has been regarded
for the last thirty years as a sacred agree
ment by the people Of the United States,
and its binding obligations acknowledged
by the most eminent Statesmen of our
country, both North and South, there
fore, ....
ReSolrecl, That its repeal or modifca-
ton would be unjust. and detrimental to
the best interests of the country; in VIC
lation of public faith, and calculated 10
weaken and impair the fabric ofour Gov
ernment.
Resoiued. That we learned the passage
of the measure through the United States
Senate with regret and alarm, and that
we look to the House of Representatives
to arrest a scheme so utterly at variance
with the most solemn compact, and re-
pugnant to the feelings of the people OF
the Northern States.
The discussion upon the Resolutions
was animated. and continued to late
hour. A. B. Jackson, j. NJ. Kellogg, l..
| Marsh, p. J. Reed and others took part
in the debate. after which the Resolutions
were passed unanimously.
The following on motion was adopted
Resotred, That the proceedings of this

THE TELEGRAPH.
WOnaan'S Sphere.

.
"Woman's Rights is the technical
phrase which is now used to signify the
whole inquiry into the rights, duties
sphere, and adaptability of Woman to the
various conditions of life.
This inquiry, though still sneered at
and ridiculed by the largeruumber of both
men and women, is yet earnestly and
zealously urged by the best of the prom
inent men and women of the day !; and
the results of that inquiry in demanding
for Woman wider sphere" the enjoy
ment of greater range of rights, and
the opportunity to perform a larger class
of duties, is forcing its Importance more
and more upon the public mind.
And the proposition, that Woman is in
every respect the equal of Man, that with
him she should enjoy all the social, moral,
political, physical, religious, and all other
privileges pertaining to humanity, isevery
day, and in every locality, gaining new
adherents and advocates.
The fact that this is so, is making the
opponents of the proposition more active,
more vehement, and more virulentin their
opposition. And conservative papers.
about these days, are full of filings at
''strong-minded women" and exhibit by
their very coarseness the truth of the
proposition they are opposing.
\ thought relative to this question
suggested itself to our minds the other
evening at the school exhibition.
The young women 1--WE will not insult
them by saying tadies) who participated
in those performances, spoke as we'll acted
their parts as well, and exhibited as much
genius and talent as any of the young men.
The play of The School Committee"
representing a place where gossipping
! women had found so much fault with all
school teachers, that the men had agreed
that they should examine and choose for
themselves, and accordingly the "circlen
had constituted itself into a Committee
for that purpose, and went through with
the examination Of candidate with all
the arrogance, stupidity, and ignorance,
characteristic of gossips of both sexes,
wherever society exists, was acted to the
life. Religious fanaticism, fashionable
friyolity, and aristocratic stupidity, were
singularly well represented; and even the
little girls, of five, six, and seven years,
acted we'll the frowardness Of petted and
| spoiled children. And further, we ven
ture that the women and girls of the
school recite their lessons as well, and
acquire as much as the men and boys.
) Then, right here, who shall prescribe
/ the sphere of W oman? Are not the girls
of those students as well capacitated to
become teachers, preachers, physicians,
lawyers, clerks, &c. as the boys?
y sneer will not answer the question

Music.

We ask the attention Of our music
loving readers to the announcement of
Reed & Watkins, of Chicago, seen in our
advertising columns.
There are too few musical instruments
throughout the country. Every family
should have one or more
Music is one of the most refining sci
enccs i'll nature; and one which knows no
condition of life. The poor farmers son
is as likely to born with soul adapted
to the highest musical skill, as the son
of the wcalthicst millionaire. And al
though nature dcvclopes this faculty,
wherever it is possessed in the most un-
miStakable manner. however rude and
uncultIvated the possessor, still the train
ing of science and culture gives to that
faculty a polish wholly unattainable with
out it. And this training is not necessa-
rily erpensire either of much money or
ill-spared time Therefore every farmer,
or laborer, should try to have his children
study music; and should provide instru-
ments therefor.
We know that many farmers, mechan-
les. and laborers, from disgust at the
silly assumption of superiority, and the
insufierable, ill-manncred. domineerinr
pride of many children of the rich. whose
money, position, and pride have compell-
ed the learning of this one science, the
only one many of them ever do learn.

and every other offensive characteristic
and therefore have no taste or desire for
this and kindred accomplishments.
But they make a great mistake in this

none of these; fun possession of all The
accomplishments of musical science is not
necessarily incompatible with industry,
modesty, humility, and democracy-nay,
its direct tendency is quite the reverse
for the soul of the true musician clings
to kindred. wherever found.
Besides. even on the score of policy,
this matter ought to be more attended to.
No surcr access to the most exclusive
circles exists than finished musical accom-
phShments.
And as matter ofpure, holy, quiet home
enjoyment, it is beyond all comparison,
and should be sought for and cultivated

e 1t strikes us that the editor Of the
Democrat has made an exceedingly poor
use of the privilege he claims to expose
our misstatements of fact inasmuch as he
exposes none, and makes several eggre-
gious misstatements himself, whether ig-
norantly or otherwise. is immaterial
Instead of spending his time in making
assertions which are absurd, and imma-
terial even if true, why does he not dis
prove our main position, viz: that in the
light Of the direct language of the consti-
tution-of the practice of the government
of the practice of Cass and Douglass as
Senators-and in the light of this very
Nebraska bill, Cass' non-intervention
squatter-sovreignty doctrine, is an unmi-
tigated humbug. This is the point at is
sue, the affirmative of which we made ap-
parent, and which will require something
more, we think, than any thing yet said

make loud raps directly under it. This
was quickly done, the foot being grasp
ed as by a mortal hand, and vibrating
to the raps thus strangely made. The
second was, if possible, to take us BY
the right hand with his own, so as to
make the touch palpable beyond adoubt.
Keeping the hand carefully in custody

of all the company, including those Of

a few moments had it patted, first on

repeatedly, as if by another hand, having
a negative feeling, as though there was
no warmth i'll it, but natural in every
other respect. For the general gratif-
cation, the same thing was done to 9th
ers of the party.
How shall demonstrations like these
be accounted for, except on the hypoth-
esis of spirit-agency? If we cannot
positively affirm that Isaac T. Hopper

that occasion, we are at least prepared
to declare, as our own conviction, as well

There is an old saying, "Whom the

aroused by this last act of infamy, and
overwhclm the plotters against Liberty,
we are much mistaken. Every writ

MADISON. March 18th. 1851.

MADISON, March 18th, 1854.
MEssRs. EDIToRs:-It will no doubt
be interesting to your readers to be in
formed with regard to the progress of the
Liquor Law now pending before the Leg
islature. therefore proceed to give you
a detailed account of its various stages to
the present time. The Bill first passed
the Senate, as you are aware, with a sub
mission clause to be decided at the next
General Election. In this way it went
to the Assembly. There they attached
se 9eral amendments to the Bill, the last
of which was striking out the submission
| section and inserting another which put
the Law in force without conditions, on
the first dav of June next. In this shape
it came back again to the Senate. The
Senate concurred in all the amendments
| of the Assembly except the last. which
was struck out, and the original submits
/ sion clause inserted, with the exception
of requiring majority of all the votes
| east at the election, instead of majority
cast upon that subject, making the mat
ter still worse.
On Saturday the Bill was again taken
up and acted upon in the Assembly, they
refusing to concur in the Senate's amend
ment. This action was Immediately an
nounced to the Senate, and that body
have by a vote of thirteen to twelve. re-
fused to reccde; and have appointed a
Committee of Conference on the disagree
ing vote of the two Houses.
What will be the final result Of this
matter, is at present as much Of a mys
terry here as with you, SO it is folly TO
speculate upon the subject.
March nth.
To-day the Assembly have taken the
matter into their own hands andappoin-
ted Committee Of Conference. From
this it is fair to infer that there was
lack of confidence in the Speaker, or the
usual Parliamentary course would not
have been departed from.
This afternoon the Assembly are en-
gagged in overhauling the Assessment
Laws. This by many is thought to be I'M
necessary, as few amendments to the
present Law is all that is really required.
There was time when anadjournment
Of this Session of the Legislature appear
ed to find favor with many Members.
But at present | am not aware that the
thing is seriously entertained by any one.
