Nebraska Again.

| There was meeting IN Cleveland got up against
Douglass Nebraska bill II was mainly conducted BY
wings. The Plaiudealer says:
"The meeting addressed by Hon. J. A. Foot Hiram
Griswold John O Vaughan. j. A. Briggs, and J Hvsst
Smith. Each gentleman spoke length. but
no one succnc and reliable account of what tho
Nebraska bill is in lis full purpor and bearings To form
Just and correct estimate Of its features. however, we
await the discussion thereof in the United States Senate
which come Oh to-day Monday The bill made the
special order OF the day. and will continue on the carpet
until IL has been thoroughly debated Mr. Dougss, the
amer OF the bill. will then have opportunity Of stating
his views a srs"so and will the opponents of the
are Between The pros and cons shall he likely
rive at the truth, and in no other way"
II would be well for these gentlemeG who show their
teeth so soon 10 understand fully the effect OF the bill
they condemn. II the bill sanctions or permits slavery
in Nebraska, we do not favor H. II i, squnts that way,
we are opposed 10 it. But such ia not its operation OF
intention, as We understand it. II leaves that question
entirely free IRON congressional dication or nsesfe
renee, 20
AS at present enlightened upon this subject, think
that those who claim tho power in Congress to forbid
slavery IN the Territories only make the existence OF that
institution dependent upon majority in the national
legislature For instance, II majority happen have
control there who may say slavery shall not be sslab
shed in Territory, majority at another time in favor
OF slavery extension may, by the exercise Of the same
poi0y, say that slavery may be established in Territory
We have never heard this view Of the subject sssfacso
ry met The public peace then, certainly depends upon
the principle of "hands off,"
The Washington Union says: "They Those who op-
pose Mr.. Douglass blll represent il as movement Of
the advocates Of slavery legisate the institution into
the Nebraska Territory This is total misrepresena-
ton Of the provisions OF the BILL As declared BY Mr..
Douglas in the Senate, the bill neither legislaes slavery
into the Territory out of it, but il provides thar may

rests upon the assumption that all the people OF all the
States have an interest in the Territory and opens the
door for all who choose TO make their home 10 enter
and when there comedies them the full right 10 reg
ulate their internal and domestic interests for themselves
Il neither says 10 the slaveowner that slavery will or
will not exist in the Territory; but it declares 10 him
that as it is common property he shall be prohibited

The Territorial Question.

We invite the attention of our readers TO the views
contained in the communication below The writer
with great force, and states with unusual clear
the fundamental principles on which the provisions
Of the territorial bills based His conclusion. that
the propositions in Senator Douglass original bill un
exceptionabe. is legitimate and necessary deduction
from the principles Of self.goyernment distinctly aud
SO uuthfully laid down. But when the writer comes to
discuss the duties OF Congress towards the Territories
prior their organizaiion constrained TO doubt
the correctness OF his position He says that II the
oily OF Congress believe that slavery should be intro
duced and protected in the Territories prior TO their
ganzaon they should pronounce. We suppose that
he means also that ii majority Of Congress believe that
slavery ought 10 be prohibited they should declare
But why should Congress declare the one way or the
other! The position comedies that Congress has the
s,ituonal power either introduce prohibit slavery
and hence object to the proposition. We have not
understood Senator Douglass original his amended
bill as recognising any such position. Both bills were
designed TO carry the principle Of congressional
intervention only applicable 10 the Territories after
their organizaton but also before The amendment which
declares the Missouri Compromise to be imperative was
adopted with The view Of removing all doubt as to
the operation of that principle. The fact adyerted TO
correspondents tn6 MIS-.
souri Compromise in force until the Territory should be
organized, suggested the necessity for the declaration
that the principles of The Compromise OF 1850 rendered
the act OF 1890 imperative The point 10 be attained
the establishment of the principle that Congress
would not could not leaslae, either introduce or to
prohibit slavery in the Territories II correspondent
is correct in another legal proposition which he lays
down, tand we are not disposed 10 conoven M ha, The
aorosation Of the Missouri Compromise reins,ates the
Louisiana law, which recognised The existence of slavery
in the Territory. then follows that the bill requires
further amendment We have not so construed the bill
amended, but there should be for doubt on
the quesnon The bill should declare, in express TERMS
what the object of Judge Douglas that
slavery is neither legalized prohibited within the
Territory but that the whole question left open with
embarrassment either from the Louisiana law or the
Missouri Compromise Without further commen, upon
the able argument Of our correspondent, commend il

Edwin Forrest.

The engagement of this gentleman at Mr.. MaIshalls
theatre the eminent ability which he brings to his task
and the powerful support rendered to him by the exseen,
stock company at that establishment furnish rare OPP
porunity 70 czens and sojourners who desire to see
some Of the best plays in language delneaed by the
master OF his art, in the prime Of his health and
the glowing meridian OF his fame. Mr. Forrest is one of
those who have reached dazzling emiuence, after
having fought throughand fought down most violent
opposition The very fact that be came before the pub
lie without the advantages of early education prepared
him for the most cruel criticisms and ii long after his
amazing merits his arduous profession developed
that he enabled to take and to hold his position in
the front rank of his competitors From that moment,
though no, unopposed or unassaiIed, he has steadily
advanced Caumny has tracked his footsteps and some
OF those who affect 10 know most have sought 10 de
stroy him by unjust and ungenerous strctures but he
has always had the people with him. As the elder
kean, his return home the night of his first ap-
peaance in London, said TO his wife, when she wanted
to know how Lord -- was pleased "D--n Lord !"
said Kean, "he pit rose at me-" So with Forrest The
including not only the constituent. but the rep
resentatve. not only the teacher, but the scholar,
have always been his strongest supporters. The
acting of MIR. Forrest, like the most of the char
acters he assumes, is massive and dgni6ed or ex-
quse judgmen, and TASTE and especially familiar with
the sources and springs of human passions, Forrest
plays upon the feelings with rrsslless influence; and
points which in other hands would be lost are rendered
by him with mellow and chas,ened eoquence that
speaks TO the heart with voice of inspiration HIS
acting is like great painting which may be inspected
every day in the year, and at every visit some new
beauty will be disclosed. To the student grand i'm

How TO GET A SEAT IN RAILWAY
CAg.-We copy the following from a cor
respondent OF the Springfield D1ily Rsp45-
.icrn. The scene 81 the adventure was at
Toledo:
Passing as hastily on IS possible, We no.
ticea as we came TO the second car from
the front that il had bot few occupants, and
those were chiefly ladies', while dense
crowd was examining itself into the front
car, or retiring 10 those in the rear. The
mystery was explained, as we heard the
brakeman exclaifn, "this car Is reserved for
ladies', and gentlemen accompanied hy Ia
dies A seat In that car We were bound
10 have, but hoae, being lafyless- Laying a.
side for moment our overw helinlng mod
esty, we cast our eyes around, and seeing
an elderly gentleman approaching with
fsres (rnore than he had any right ~ ladies
in his care, we stepped in front, and touch
ing our hat 10 the said brakeman with ex-
IRENE courtesy. inquired in tone q the
most profound difference which We could
ASSUME, If be '.would not be atie u procure
seats for the ladies and elderly gentlemen.
The unwented politesess shown the petty
Official, and the confidence reposed.n him
touched his heartat once, aud deserving BIS
post ushered Us into the car, and gave seats
ato the ladies' and elderly gentleman zr.d tc
the young gentleman. The whole thing
passe 50 quickly that my newly adopted
friends had 10 time throw 81 their aston
ishment and repudiate me before The brake
man had returned to bis duty. Deeming
the facts in the case our best apology, w'
briefly stated them, and hearty laugh a
the brakeman greeted the success OF OF
,oke. The ladies declared tito he a suti
Gent introduction, and We were al ono
placed on the footing Of old acquaintance
with the whole party. We found them b.
far the pleasaniest Of the many acgaant
ances formed during our trip, and the mex
morning We babe them goodbye at claTa
land, and the gentleman gave Us cordla
invitation TO his home in New York, il va
with regret that We parted
