a BEAUTIFUL INCIDENT.

The discussion upon the Nebraska bill has been marked
by number of striking and significant passages Of elo
quence-among Others that between Senator Benjamin
Of Louisiana and abolition senator last Thursday
ming in the Senate will long be remembered The latter
feeling that the Nebraska bin pass after mid
night and early Friday morning, declared, in his
speech against the measure that il fit that such deed
should the day when the sun is
shrouded in gloom-alludng to yesterdays ecpse-and
when the American continent is covered with darkness
reply which directly afterwards the appeal of
the abolition senator in most classic and effective
neT and with great animation and beauty 81 say that
senator he remarked that whether this Nebraska bill
pass not the laws Of Nature win operate uninterrupted
ly, and whether adjourn not, the calculations of
science will be realized And let add that the darkness
which he alludes will be temporary darkness only
In few short hours the observation will pass off, and then
we shall enjoy perfect dayonce will the
eugence of the orb of light bless the land and like the
genius of our institutions all our citizens viii rejoice in
his glorious beams At this momentthe spoke in
the dusk Of the evening-he splendid chandelier of the
Senate suddenly lighted up and the unconscious illus
traon of his beautiful figure opposite yet
pected that the Senate and the galleries broke into
spontaneous applause The itself cannot be de-
scrbed; and the eloquent senator from Louisiana who
does speak often will have better opportunity
to show his skin a rhetorcian.

WHO WILL OPPOSE A GREAT PRINCIPLE,

Some Of the opponents Of the great principle Of the Ne
braska bill confined themselves before it passed both
houses of Congress to the point that they only remonsra
ted against the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, and
that if the principle Of allowing the people of the Terrific
ries to manage their own affairs in their way, under
the constitution presented to them de no, they
would advocate it with enthusiasm We propose to take
such men at their word The Nebraska bill has passed In
few days it will become law. The Missouri Compro-
mise has been declared to be "noperatve The idea of
advocating the Missouri Compromise is already mprac
cable The idea of acquescing in the action Of Congress
on that subject the other hand is eminenty practical
So too the advocacy Of the great principle of popular
eregnty in the Territories Here is plain issue Those
who are honestly for great living principle will
oce sgnaze their sincerity by sustaining the Nebraska
BILL or by acquescng in it. that II is about to be-
come law of the land Those who resolved to be
actious and who desire to defeat the democratic party
and who seek promote corrupt ends by bad means win
join the aboonsts and northern wings and cmor about
the repeal ola solemn compact and the folly Of allowing
the people to rule
