VIII slavery go 10 Nebraska under the law OF
Douglas This grave question many OF the sham
democratic papers answer in the negative. They
say that the act organizing the territories of Kan
das and Nebraska does not legIsate slavery into
those countries. Now the south claim the con-
trary and that they have right to go there with
their property. They claim it under the new in
terpretatIons of the Constitution as Constitution
al right.
But this the courts must decide, say the lawyers.
Look TO see who appoints the Judge. and thea
read the following piece of news from Washing
ton teIeg-aphic despatch:
Washington. Oct. 4.
Mr.. Lecomp;e of Maryland, the new Chief Jus
tce OF Kansas, carries out two OF three old fami-
ly slaves.
This settles the matter. The Chief Ju4se OF free
Kansas has gone there with slaves This exam
pie will tell the whole slave power how be will
decide legal questions on slavery. He is a slave
holder and was appointed for that purpose in our
opinion, and vet we have men dishonest, servile OF
ignorant enough to say there is no danger OF
slavery going to kans as Janesyille Free Press
Hhat rcGs the Issue ?-The New York Tribune
makes some very pertinent remarks in answer TO
the efforts of the Nebraskaites to evade the force
of the rebuke il. Pennsy yvania. There is no mis-
taking the meaning of the recent elections, and
10 amount OF whistling will keep down the awful
facts:
is IT not amazing that journals which have
some reputation for fairness will attempt to ear
que the seal off the bond in this way7 Flor
ence, Jones and Packer indeed reelected but
lose not less than 5000 of their former majority:
while Bridges and Wright are badly beaten in Dis
rricts which gave not less than 1900 aggregate
majority for Pierce two years ago. Here is a
Democratic loss OF not less than 6,00O votes In
these FIVE Nebraska districts. On the other hand
the tnaJorities Of the FIVE Anti-Nebraska Members
elected not only immensely increased-two
of them (Grow aud Di,.k) having no serious OPP
position; bat the other three beaten by men
who are more hostile TO the Douglas policy than
they were. Heister IS a Silver Gray Wing. and
is beaten by Anthony +. Roberts. an Anti Slavery
whig who ran stump; the Nebraska candidate
polling the whole vote of his party. but not get
ting enough to save his distance. Drum (Dem.)
is beaten by Covode, Anti-Nebraska Wing; and
Trout DEM likewise by John Allison (Whig)
expressly because Trout did not stand up to the
Nebraska question He voted right on the fiual
passage, but lodged little the pEeiininaries,
and this killed him.

The officers of this association deserve great
credit for the zeal and perseverance which they
have devoted TO the fruit growing interests of this
State They should be heartily seconded in thei'
efforts by our citizens generally. An auction OF
the fruit on exhibition held on Friday evening.
