they had liarmonized; they had united in
the manner disclosed to thi, committee BY
the gentlemen who have preceded me,
and they had carried victory with their
union. He had right to suppose that
that union might be again effected. The
question was, how that result could be
gained? s.
Well, now, sir, without undertaking to
justify what was done. | appeal to this
commlttee--I appeal to the country-I
ask, with all confidence in the answer
which the question will receive, was it
not one of the highest duties Of the Presi-
dent to exert all the means IN his power
for the purpose Of healing the discussions
in the Democratic patty of New York, and
and so give peace to the coun,rygf -
say, that in accomplishing thj. end he
was accomplishing one of the very highest
Of objects.-he was performing one al tho
most solemn of his duties. WINS ST, his
course OF duty was plafh-that was, to ex-
ert all the means in his power TO accom-
plsh that object; and will so maintain
it. Whether his powers were wisely and
judiciously exercised, that is another ques-
ten. How were these means exerted -
The president has been denounced as vio-
lating well-established principles. We
have been told that well. established prin.
ciples forbid the interference of the Exc
cutive in elections. | pray this House TO
bear in mind, and | pray the country to
do it, that there is a wide and manifest
difference between interfering between
two great political parties and interfering
between two divisions Of the same party.
| hold it perfectly plain that the exercise
of the powers of the Government, and Of
the influence Of the Government, for the
purpose of changing the az ton Of parties
one rising out of change Of opinion-is
widely and manifestly different from that
influence which friend may properly ex-
ercise over friend by the means and influ-
ences at his command.
Sir, the President Of the United States
has been blamed in this matter-and I
take this occasion to say that separate
him not from his Cabinet; he is the re-
sponsible man, and as long as he retains
his Cabinet around him he is bound to
fa:hes all that is done by it. There is
wide difference, sir, say. between the
attempt to change mems political opinions
by the influence Of the Government, and
that course which seeks to bring friends
who have become estraaged to harmonious
action

A BOUNTY FOR CARRYING SLAVES INTO
NEBRASKA.

The Shareholders have got the Missouri Compro
mise repealed and all the territory of the United
States open to slavery, Mr.. Orr, Of South Carolina
chairman Of the Committee on Indian Affairs, has
introduced bill "defning the terms on which
treaties made with certain tribes of Indians and
for other purposes" in Nebraska. This bill con-
tains the following section:
Every single person over twenty-one years old
may select eighty acres of land; each family of
two persons, one hundred and sixty acres each

hundred and dhre'ay acres.
This bill Is introduced as an immediate rider to
.he Nebraska bill. We ask every Democrat in
New Hampshire TO read this. Here is direct

that have been pursued for the last fifteen years 10

government of the territory has, for that e5kih of
time, been entrusted entirely to Indian agents
Of these there arc ten in tie territory. nine of
whom are Shareholders, Of course, directly inter-
ested in having slavery established and lcgalized
there. These agents have power to grant licenses
to traders" in their respective Jurisdictions. A
resident Of Nebraska, who had spent over twelve
years there, informs us that he has known instans
ces where men have been licensed as traders and
under that license have taken up largo tract of
land and brought in slaves TO work il, while they
would not keep ten dollars worth Of goods for
trading purposes. Not only have these blen powcr
to license but they have power to order any man
out OF the territory who may not le congenial to
them. We are assured by the gentleman alluded
to above, that this has been done on several occa-
sions. lie also informs that every facility is
offered to Shareholders to come in, whilo persons
from the non-saveholding States find great diff

CoLoRED MEN IN CALIFORNIA.

We learn with pleasure that our friends Peter
Lester and Aliflin Gibbs, are doing an extensive
and prosperous business in boot and shoe store,
in San Francisco, Their expenses are of course
very large, but their business is Sufficiently largo
and profitable to pay them handsome income,
even for California. That colored men arc, more
than ever, beginning to engage in profitable bran-
ches of business and professions heretofore denied
to them, and to acquire wealth, is an encouraging
fact to their friends. The extent to which they
are doing this in our midst is very little known.
We may present some facts on this subject at an.
other time. Meanwhile, we say to all colored
men, that, with intelligence, integrity and wealth,
they extort respect from their enemies, and
the sooner secure their rights. These are ele.
ments Of powor that VIC would have every eolored
man seek, not sefshly, but us means Of his elcva.

EXCLUDING FREE LABOR FROM THE
TERRITORIES.

The practical consequences which are moral,
certain to result from the passage of Douglass bill
if, unfortunately, that bill shall become law
should not for moment be lost sight of. Let ii
be steadily borne in mind, that TO admit Kansas
and Nebraska is, in effect, to exclude free labor
The two cannot, by any possibility, exist and tou'
rish together. Whenever slavery enters, labor
ceases to be respectable The people of the south
ern states would hardly consider it respectable to
breathe for themselves, if it were possible for the
slaves to do il for them.
Douglass BILL as amended before il got through
the Senate does all that ii can directly to exclude
free laborers by shutting out aliens from all par
ticipatiOn in the government. Nothing could be
more clearly apparent, than the determination Of
the South to this great section Of country TO
the dominion of Slavery.
1t is gratifying to see that the citizens Of this
country of foreign birth, pretty generally under
stand the blow which this bill aims at their inter
ests. They look at this western country as the
future home of their descendants They know
that the free white will never consent to toll beside
the black slave.
1t is rare, If, indeed, it is possible, to find a
German who is not decidedly against this bill, The
Irish there is to believe, generally take the
same view of il. To the Germans aud Irish, con-
sequently. it is hardly likely that any public man
who identities himself with Douglass BILL need
ever look for future support They will not feel
friendly to the slavery propagandsts
who have sought to exclude them from the land to
Of them would naturally 60. We ex-
pect, after all, that the political capital which Sem
ator Douglas makes out Of his bill will be capital
against him, and not in his favor. But il will not
be the first time that those who have trusted to the
devils promises have had to whistle for their pay.

hounds as above professionally advertised A
white rulhan buys slaves within stones throw Of
Mount Vernon or Monticello for n few hundred
dollars, and then further south hires them out or
employs them, living on their labor taking their
earnings from them by force like n cowardy foot
pad; disporting his aristocracy at the springs in
the summer; and rejoicing in some shabby title of
Major, Colonel, or Gencral-and this is American
Democracy This system, which is only upheld
by one hundred and fifteen thousand slave-owners
the odd eight hundred thousand or one million OF
adult male whites in the South not owning slaves
must not only be accepted and approved by the
mechanics and lnborers Of the North, but we must
consent to and assist in its extension and perpetu
alton 1t must be the shbboleth Of all political
enjoyment and aspiration; of present advantage
and future glory.
We may boast Of our liberty but the echo
comes wailing from the clank of slave-chains, the
whistle of oyerscer whips, the rustic of flaming
negro-pyres and the howl of the blood-hounds
hunting and catching men formed in Gods image
like ourselves. But this is not the worst. This
dark and shameful system is to he spread over

self to studying Russian institutions. The Object

Sire said he to the Car at one Of their numer-
Gus meetings my country should feel abashed ia
comparison with your Empire! You number thir-
ty million of slaves while we have no more than
three mllions
In return, replied the Car, corresponding TO the
compliment by another, in your country slavery
will soon extend itself over much larger district
than in Russia. Yes, Sire as soon as the Missouri
Compromise has been recalled.
Very well, why do you not recall It?
That depends upon the Senate and the People.
