ANOTHER VOICE FROM MISSOURI

Ii is really refreshing TO scc somo indications
Of honorable conduct among the supporter Of
Slavery. The InteHigemcer of St LOUIS, Mo,
Wing paper, is disposed to 1.-Two mp to " the
bargain" although it docs this time favor Free
dom. The following remarks were of course
penned before the appearance of the new orma
turc Bill of Judge Douglas, declaring that the
Missouri Compromise is superseded by the
Compromise of 1850. They will apply still
moro forcibly to the present Bill
From the 81. Louis (Mo) IatelIigenccr. Jan. o.
NEBRASKA AND SLAVERY.
We have expressed the opinion that the Ne
braska bill Of Judge Douglas does not repeal
the Missouri Compromise though for the OIL
legged reason that it does it has received the
anathemas of all the Free Soil papers, and
many of the conservative papers of the Com-
try. The best evidence we could have that ].
does not have the effect ascrbcd to it, il that
Senators have already proposed Co amend The
bill by adding clause repeating the MissOH1
COMPROMISE. Why this amendment if the6 b.
NJ it stands, repeals the Missouri Compromise
90 the other side, it has boon widely urged
in defence of Douglass bill, that though it docs
secm rather cquivocai in reference to the Mi.
souri, Compromise, and may, in the carrying
ont, effect The abrogasion of the Missouri Com
promise, it will be because of its conformity to
the Compromise of $780," the last and great.
est and final settlement of the Slavery aglta-
ton of this country.
This view Of the matter ia entirely erroneous.
1t is impossible for the bill of Judge Douglas,
or any other bill, to be in conflict with the
Missouri Compromise and, at the same time,
10 conformity with tho Compromise OF 1850;
because, the Compromise of 1850 distinctly rec
ognises and re- ailirms, and adopts the Missouri
Compromise. One cannot be adopted, and tho
other stand. IT. therefore the bill of Judge
Douglas repeats the Missouri Compromlse, 1t
does also repeal the Compromise OF 1890.
lt is clear that this is the case from the ex-
tracts frorn the laws on Slavery, knO@n by the
different Compromise names, that We publish
cd yesterday IL is well for the people OF Nus
souri, and of the West, to think of these fact,
and choose their ground CONSIDERABLY ON the
Nebraska bill We wish to stand on hon0Idhe
ground. and to stand up honestly to all iair bar
gains that wo m ~ havc entered into.
We do not think the Nebraska bill Of Judge
Douglas repeats tho Missouri Compromise; but
if it does it docs also repeal the Great ComPro
mise the Fmality" Compromise of 1880.

tendency e during the pendency !'--the or
gan is always tautologcal) of the agitation
growing out of our Mexican acquisitions" M
member of either House ever moved a recog
milton or reafirmation Of that line. VIVA
possible reason could there be for such mo
ton That line, in express terms, applied ex
clusiyely to the old Louisiana Territory, ant
that Territory was not under consideration
proposition to recognise or repeal what was
not under consideration, and what nobody
thought of disturbing could have emanated
only from fool There was no such fool in
Congress. Of course no Southern man would
originate such proposition for its only effect
would have been to confirm to Freedom her
title to the Territory of Nebraska; and nc
Northern man would do it, for that title was
not drawn into question.
What is "the fact of history" which the
"organ thus grossly misrepresents? Simply
this, that repeated propositions were made, D
pending "the agitation growing cut of our
Mexican acquisitions" not Ito stand by the
Missouri Compromise Line,n but to eutend that
line to new Territory, acquired twenty light
years after that line had been agreed upon, as
settlement of the question of Slavery, in Ter
ritory then belonging to the Union. In other
words, it was proposed to form new Compro-
mise applying to certain territories in 1s4S, in
certain circumstances, Principle which had
been applied in 1920 to certain other Territory,
In quito different circumstances. Again and
again was this policy attempted to be carried
through the Senate by Senator Foote, in every
variety Of form, sometimes accompanied by u
provision for the protection of Slavery in Utah
and New Mexico and California, below the
line of SO deg 80 min, through the express
abrogation of tho local laws of these countries,
and sometimes without such provision-but
It was always voted down.
The "organ" would do we'll to refresh it's
memory, and, before venturing upon any state
ment in regard to the controversy of lS4S-'5O,
consult the record. We were an eye-wit-
ness Of the whole struggle, and know whereof
we affirm
We need hardly say that our opponents tiud
it necessary to falsify the truth Of history, for
the purpose of exousing their own bad faith.
"You," they assert, rejected the Missouri
Compromise in ls50-what right have you to
blame US for rejecting it in 1854? Your bad
faith has released us from all obligation to that
Missouri Compact"
In the light of tho facts we have present
cd this argument will appear to be an at
tempt to justify fraud by falsehood. We did
not reject tho Missouri Compromise in 1850,
so that their bad faith stands revealed in all
its onormity without disguise, or shadow of
excuse

COMPLAINTS ABOUT PosTMAsTERs.


Occasionally, we receive complaints OF tn'
incompetcncy and delinquency of postmaster
as if it were in our power to correct them
Some one, who chooses to remain Anonymous
writes to us, that postmaster in ono of the Oil
ces in Columbisna county, Ohio, is gre'
scoundrcl-keeps low groggery, and has D0'',
arraigned before the courts for stealing-ahu
the anonymous communication, containing ti,'
statements, he would have us publish, SPECIFY
ing the accused postmaster
There is an obvious mode Of proceeding :"
such cases. If these statements be correc' Wv
facts must be known by several persons II
stead of anonymous communications 20 new
papers lot them agree upon memorial l" ~
Postmaster General, clearly and briefly ior''','
ing the facts and tho evidence, and ASKING -,
his removal An investigation will DO ofuo''''

For certainly We cannot suppose that 'he ''

and drunkards his Deputies.

THE ADMINISTRATION RESPONSIBLE.


That the Administration has adopted the
last bill of Mr.. Douglas, and become response
BILE for it, cannot be doubted by any one who
reads tho organ" That paper, commenting
on the measure says:
at is designed therefore to carry out in
good faith the principles Of the Compromise of
1850; and as such it cannot fail to command
the support of all Democrats who are standing
faithfully and sincerely upon the Compromise
of 1850, as final and permanent settlement OF
the Slavery question. We cannot tut regard
the policy Of the Administration as directly in
rolred in this question. That policy looks to
fidelity to the Compromise of 1850 as an essen
tiaL requisite TO Democratic orthodoxy The
proposition of Mr.. Douglas is practical erects-
tion Of the principles of that Compromise, and
therefore cannot but be regarded by the Adminis-
tration as test Of Democratic orthodoxy The
Union of the Democracy on this proposition acill
disapate forever The charges of Free Soit sympa-
Miss, so reeklessly and pertinaciously urged
against the administration by our Wing oppo-
nents,. ,chtla 1t qciH take from di,a6eetion in
our ranks the last vestige of prete1t for its
opposition"
This is plain enough. The measure is re-
garded by the Administration as "a test of
Democratic orthodoxy" 1t will separate, in
the language of another writer, the goats
from the Sheep" driving out of the sheop-fold
all Democrats who refuso their sanction to a
repeal of the Missouri Compromise In 80 do
ing, q it will take from disaffection in our own
ranks" says the organ, "thc last vcstige of q
prctext for it's opposition"
The meaning of this is, that the Administra-
ton has surrendered to the "Hards" and ex-
poets the radical Democrats who have sup
ported it to 20 with it. Those WHO refuse arc
to be expelled from the Democratic Party.
What answer will be given by tho Albany
atlas and the old Barnburners of New York
We need not inquire of the New York E5sning
Post. Its position is never doubtful on ques-
ton of principle. We have little doubt that
the atlas will soon make it's purpose manifest
Mr.. Dean, of the House, who, protesting to
speak for the "Softs" of New York, committed
them to the support of the Nebraska Bill be-
fore it was altered, felt afterwards, we have
reason to believe, that he had been too hasty
We are sure that no had not examined the
Bill. The present one needs less study; its
provisions arc explicit enough, its purposes
boldly avowed. VIII you and your friends,
Mr.. Dean, vote to repeal the Missouri Com
promise? IF not, you are no friends of the
President; if you do, you are enemies to your
constituents This is the alternative to which
you arc reduced by the submission of the Ad-
ministration to tho extreme demands of the
Slave Power.

Law condemns no man before he is tried and
convicted. Bedini was accused of heinous
crimes against republicanism, but the evidence
has not been examined by tho mass of our
countrymen, and they have no right to act
from mere antipathy or. impulse. And even
were he guilty, that fact cannot Justify any
one in unlawful assaults upon him. Let those
who believe him criminal lay the Truth, as
they understand it, before the Public, deny
him hospitality, courtesy, intercourse tu-
multuous assemblages, got up to insult and
menace him, are to be deprecated, as their ten
dency necessarily is to dangerous collision
and violence
But surely a Senate which sat unmoyed,
amidst the outbreaks of ls49 in Washington,
trusting to the CITY authorities to keep the
peace Of the Capital in which they conducted
their deliberations, might afford to trust the
Police of other cities, with which it has no
particular concern, to repress sudden and ir-
regular gusts of popular excitement.
May We be pardoned for saying that the
fact disclosed by the Census, that the popula-
ton of this country of Irish Nativity amounts
to nearly one million of souls, has quite as much
to do as anything else with its extraordinary
manifestation of devotion to Law and Order
upon this occasion.

had been guilty of no breach of propriety; and
continued his remarks, referring to the refusal
of MIR. Hughes, a few days ago, to avow how
he would vote on the Nebraska question, and
accusing that gentleman of lodging.
q. MIR Hughes said, in substance, that his vote
would be found satisfactory 20 the constituents
who had chosen him to represent them here
MIR. Smith. The gentleman, with all his
handsome eloeution, is less cours geous than
have been prepared to see him. He skulks
behind crowd, from the responsibility he
should meet.
Mr. Smith continued: The Democratic party
had frequently seen, as the Hards now see,
newcomers usurping the high places but he
would not justify a sehism upon such presexts
The country had aequiesced in the appoint
ment Of the present Cabinet and he demand,
ed OF the whole New York Democracy, by their
allegiance to the principles of Democracy, ad-
lerence to the policy pursued by the Admin
istration. He declared that the Uuion is safe
with this Administration that under its rule
il will be found that men arc free to 90 and
come Is they list, and to take with them their
property a. they choose.
Mr.. Lane Does the gentleman intend to
commit this Administration in favor of the re-
peal Of the Missouri Compromise?
Mr.. :. spoke not for the Administration but
he believed it would be unit in favor Of alb
rOgating the Missouri Compromise with ref
erencc to Nebraska and go far as the Terrific
rics are concerned, he felt well assured there
would hereafter be no restrictions.
MIR. Hughes The gentleman is mistaken.
will meet any responsibility incumbent upon me-
in the proper way, and in my own good time
but neither gentlemen upon this floor, nor thi:
Administration, shall, by the use Of thumb
screws, nor in any other manner, extort from
me declarations of my intended votes, until il
suits my own purposes TO reveal them.
These ayowals appeared to produce some
excitement : for Mr.. smith had declared in
the beginning of his speech that, though he
