We make the following high faluting ex-
tract from leader in the State Sentinel, ed
tied by Hon. Billy Brown. He is easing his
feelings, it will be seen, which became lit
tie excited through the adoption by the Dem.
ocratic State Convention of resolutions en-
dorsing the Nebraska bill:
The eternal principles Of popular sover-
eighty and the inalienab.e rights of the peo-
pie are now emblazoned on our Den ocratic
banner. There they will remain an uner-
ring guide to future generations. No imPi-
Gus hand will dare touch them. The scat
tered cohorts of federalism, under the guise
of different names may rally for the fight un-
der the cry OF repeal, but the longer they fight
the fewer will be their numbers and the fee-
bier their forces. They may call spirits from
the TASTY deep, but UiH they come? The voice Of
: patriotism, coming up from every part of the
land, answers no! Emphatically NO!
In other words it will shake its head Now
what an arrant politica knave this man is

Bah! Disgusting! The party marching
with such lying humbug on its banner, mus,
take the people to be fools enough to be.
lieve it, or knaves enough to support what
they don't believe. 1t is a mockery of the
leaders in their own demagoue flattery to the
intelligence ofthe people. This lie inscribed
on the banner, is TO be an unerriDg guide to
future generations! We pity the morals OF
future generations if they follow this guide.
And it is impious to lay a hand on this
bill! 1t is gross impiety, We presume, to
