Voice Of Maine on the Nebraska Bill.

We understand from unquestioned author
ity, that tho vote Of the legislature OF Maine
in the choice of United States Senator, was
very largely influenced by the position of the
Nebraska Bill, now pending before tho Sem
ate. In fac, this question very naturally
and very properly absorbs, or overrides the
ordinary topics Of party warfare, and is soon
to 10 made u leading question, If not the
great question Of the day.
On this matter Mr.. Fesscnden was known
to occupy no doubtful position, but was
heartily and resolutely committed against the
breaking up or disturbance Of the Missouri
Compromise. On the other hand Mr.. Nor
rll hcsitatcd or declined to commit himself
against it. In common with many OF the
Democratic politicians Of the North, Mr.
Morril was "dubious" on the question:
Every Democrat in the Legislature who was
opposed to the Nebraska Bill us now present.
cd, defined himself by voting for Mr. Fessen-
den. Opposed us we are and have been to
any measure that shall disturb the settlement
of 1850 and opposed also to the yielding up
to slavery of any portion Of the territory Sc.
cured to freedom by the Missouri Comprom'
Use of 1898, we are not only willing, but we
hope to see every man and every set OF men
defeated who shrink from the proper asser,
ton Of the rights of freedom in this matter.
-Sidis of Maine.
