this effort to repeal this compromise il

who believes that Douglass and his coad
tutors have any other purpose in this thar
to blot out free soil, and create and ex
tend slave soil? It is simple question
between Freedom and Slavery; and Doug
lass. in virtue Of all his instincts, appears
as the champion of the latter. Perhaps
| the more immediate necessities which
have occasioned this move may be found
in the following paragraph:
A letter from Washington, dated Jan
9th published in the National Democrat
says:
Ina conversation which l had this NOR
ming with Colonel Johnson the accredit-
ed representative here of the people Of
Nebraska-and who, by the way, is fair
specimen of the indomitable pioneers OF
West-he informed me. in order to illus
trate the necessity which exists for re-
peal Of the Compromise act of 1920, that
there are already some hundreds Of SfdrcS
held IN the territory. About hundred
are owned there. and the rest owned by
people in Missouri, who lease them to set
tiers in Nebraska.
This is the state Of the case, and as is
manifest. the effort is to make soil which
is now free in virtue both of the higher
and the lower law, slave soil forever. And
it is worthy of recollection too, that this
effort comes from the very men who have
been loudest in denouncing the aggres-
si0ns Of the abolitionists-who have de-
clared final settlements and finalities ge-
morally on the slavery questions-who
have built platforms against all agitation
of this question, and elected President
pledged to suppress such agitation. 1t i:
significant that on this question there car
be no peace. As well talk Of y stationary
sore on the human body, as Of inactivity
and quietude on the part of the great sore
of slavery on the body Of this nation. Il
is necessarily aggressive. Like rayaging
fire. con(ire It's boundaries AMI it must
die out. Had there been no slave terri
tory added to this Union since its first
( formation, there would be no such msti
tuition as slavery in our midst. Slavery
was on the decline until Texas was an
nexed, which gave it new life. To live j
must progress, and its attempt to conquer
Nebraska, is a necessity Of its existence
"A necessity which will pertain to it a.

SAYS:
We regard this but as the beginning 0
a series Of agitations, which are likely t.

passed after violent struggle, and W.

of slavery from the act fixing the boun

will come the conflict on the question 0

Our stand must be made now, or W,

And what is the prospect in the prem

generally has stronger hold there thai
in any other city Of the Union. Itwoul

five may Judge By the voice Of tn
newspaper press of this city the feelin
of our population is pretty unanimou
against the repeal Of the Missouri Com
promise in whatever FORM it be presented
whether in the shape of Douglass frs
bill for the organization of the Territor
OF Nebraska, or in that of the amendmen
offered by Dixon of Kentucky, or in tina
of Douglass second which appeared YES
