tirely new principle principle directly at
war with the old compromise-wa entered in.
to; and both of the two great parties have
most solemnly pledged themselves to uphold
and sustain that new compromise as full
as well as final adjudication of the slavery
agitation. We hold that that pledge makes it
obligatory on them, not only to sustain the
particular enactments of 1850, but to sustain
the principles on which they were founded ;
and that cannot, in our humble judgment, be
effected without removing hostile and con-
ficting legislation. BY the compromise of
1920, Congress did exercise the power to pro-
hibit slavery in certain territory, and even un-
dertook, by prohibiting ii .forecer in that ter
States which might in the future be formed out
of that territory. The efforts to extend the
principles of the Missouri compromise, so as
to settle the agitation which followed the Mex
lean war by the line Of $50 30> having failed, the
doctrine of non-intervention was adopted as q
new basis of settlement; and, after many diff
culties, both of the great parties guaranteed its
permanency in solemn convention.
Some persons believe that the passage of the
compromise Of 1850 operated as repeal ofthe
Missouri restriction. But the National Intelli-
gencer does not take such ground; and that
fact alone fully vindicates the wisdom of direct
and positive legislation to destroy the sources
of future difficulty and strife. Ifthe Nebraska
bill did not settle conflicting views as to the
existing force and virtue of the Missouri restric-
ton, and as to the intent and purpose Of the
measures of 1850, nothing would be accom-
plished, and Nebraska would be the source of
an endless struggle. If an effort to avoid such
an evil by proper action gives rise to agitation,
it will be because the abolitionists and freesoil-
ers renew their dangerous work. Thus believ-
ing, we think that the National Intelligencer
should prepare those whom it influences to
place the responsibility where it properly
belongs, rather than permit its fear Of strife to
induce it to assail bill which originated in
patriotic purposes and which must remove all
sources of contention when it becomes a law.

THE UNITED STATES AND MEXICO.


We find in the Universal, of Mexico, OF
the I'd ult., an ably written article under the
caption of +" A glimpse of Europe and America
in lS53," taken from the Eco de Espana, a
Spanish paper of that city, from which we ex.
tract the following sentiments on the United
States-the most liberal which, to our know
ledge, have emanated from Spanish pen:
North America" says the writer, is in
habited by two of the greatest nations of the
New World, and entirely different from each
other, the one being wealthy and happy, and
the other poor and unfortunate; but notwith-
standing these differences they may yet become
rivals in power and in wealth.
The United States of America presents to
us one of the most admirable political and
social phenomena that has ever been recorded
on the annals of the worlds history--a nation
composed of the most divergent elements, and
she yet preserves the most powerful unity; q
nation where the most disorganizing passions
are in constant agitation, and yet it remains tran
quill nation that enriches the poor Of the
world, and remains opulent nation which
is not the fatherland (patria) Of its people, and
yet presents the most magnanimous examples
Of the most ardent patriotism; conquering
nation, in the nineteenth century, that scorns
the powers of the world and yet preserves her
prestige, remains at peace with the world, and
excites its admiration, and may be its respect
"Such is the republic Of Washington. Her
ships cruise all the known seas, and her chill
dren display the stars and stripes to the ut
most confines of the world Whilst on the one
hand they celebrate a treaty to navigate the
greatest rivers Of America, on the other they
send forth their squadrons to the far east, to
open new market for their commerce at Japan,
They not only undertake to open canal to
unite two great oceans, but they think nothing
of constructing bridges over the immense cata-
ract of Niagara, nor of building railroad
from the Mississippi to the distant coast Of the
Pacific. But, as this does not satisfy their de-
vouring activity, they cast their anxious eyes
on the rich Cuba, the Sandwich islands, and
Mexico, so as to expand their domain, either
through conquest, or by purchase with the
thirty millions Of surplus money which lies idle
in the Golfers Of their treasury. We might well
say to them with Lucanus: Quo tenditis ul-
trar But, notwithstanding all that grandeur,
it seems to US it has an unstable basis in pure
material interest. Talleyrand, with all his
great materialist prejudices, used to say: Mat
ter is nothing, morals is ALL
1t is to be regretted that writer who ap-
pears to be so well versed in the history Of our
progress, and the characteristic industry Of our
people, should not be better acquainted with
our social condition. Perhaps he has lived in
our country, and judges Of our morals from the
company he kept. If we are to look to Spain
for good morals, Dios nos bendisa.

A CONTRAsT.

The contrast presented by the New York
"soft y and "hard" general committees at their
late meetings is marked, significant, and sug-
gestive. They both assembled to pass resolu-
tons in reference to the pending and allah
sorbing questions involved in the Kansas and
Nebraska BILL The soft committee adopted a
preamble and resolutions that mean nothing
that deal in vague generalities, and studiously
fight shy Of the whole subject. The other com
mittee passed resolutions that came up bravely
and met the issues presented. There is no
skulking, no dodging there are no sly avoid.
ances and subtle evasions. They say what they
mean, and mean what they say. We defy any
one to misunderstood or misnterpret their re-
solutions We defy any one however astute,
however ingenious in reading riddles and pick
ing kernels out Of empty shells, to understand
the resolutions of the softs, and to make them
mean anything but cautious non-committalism
or cowardly and wretched duplcity. In an.
other place we have published the resolutions
Of the softs below we publish the resolutions
of the hards, in relation to the questions that
now SO deeply engage the public attention.
Resolced, That the territories of the United
States, purchased by the common blood and
treasure Of the whole people, are the common
property of the people of the several States Of
the confederacy, and all are entitled to their
full, free, and equal enjoyment.
Resolued, That the Constitution has not con.
ferred upon Congress the right either to estab-
lish or prohibit domestic slavery in the States
or Territories, and any attempt to impose the
Wilmot proviso upon the organization Of terri.
toral governments is gross usurpation, often
slve to the democracy, and violation of the
rights OF the people of the several States.
hesotced, That, understanding that the bill
ior the government of Nebraska and Kansas
introduced by Senator Douglas in the Senate
snese principles OF the democracy, we respect
fully request our representatives in Congress- to
give 1T their earnest and cordial support
RESOLVED, That the State of Missonr;. HAVING
presented to Congress constitution arenubl;.
can in form" was entitled to admission into the
sisterhood OF States; and Congress had no right
to impose upon her admission the condition
that slavery should hereafter be prohibited in
certain portions of the Territories. Such a
condition has never received, or deserved to
receive, the approval of the democracy. The
antlslayery agitators Of 1920, under the lead Of
kufus King, were the prototypes Of the anti
slavery agitators Of l848, under the lead of
Martin Van Buren. Both invoked the same
fanaticism, both we're actuated by the same
hatred Of the democracy, both proposed the
same violation of the rights of the people Of the
States in the common Territories, and both
have been repudiated by the people. We stand
by and will sacredly maintain and keep the
compromises Of the Constitution without auib-
BILE or evasion. We reject and utterly deny the
right of any Congress to compromise the rights

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Nebraska-Fusion and ConfiIsion.


Certain Miss-Nancy men and would-be poll.
ticians, hereabouts, have recently Matched up a
very plausible excuse to indulge in their favor
lte pastlme OF Mysteries, all on account of the
Nebraska bill as reported by the Committee
on Territories in the Senate, of which Mr..
Douglas is the honored chairman Long be-
fore the bill reached here, or the explanation
which usually accompanies such documents, a
manifesto was put forth by two abolition sena-
tors-Mr. Chase, of Ohio, and Mr.. Sumner. of
ssachusetts-together with few freesoil
members of the House, charging conspiracy
against the committee, and breathing anathe.
mas against the administration for its contem-
plated ciotation of the Missouri Compromise
This manifesto was published in all the whig,
freesoil, and fusion papers, and accompanied
with any amount of editorial thunder and de-
nunciation storm was got up on an er pa,te,
but what purported to be fair, statement of
the case, which led to indignation meetings and
the usual overflow of gall that accompanies
such demonstrations. This western reserve
has worldwide reputation for being addicted
to tsnas and one ideas. 1t has obtained this
reputation from the character of~its leading
men, who have figured in its politics. such as
Gddings, Wade, Vaughan, and Briggs. When
ever new measure is proposed in Congress or
conventions, the public can always "look to
the reserve" for either commendation or con-
demnation meetings, and Cleveland to furnish
the decorating powder for those too often pre-
mature explosions.
Like the Erians, there are freesoiers and
fusionists among us who live upon excitement,
and would absolutely "spile' If there was not
occasionally "muss kicked up for their bene-
fit. Since the disbanding of the late whig
party, these excitable numbers have considera-
bly, increased. The Herald, True Democrat,
Commercial, and 4liened american
"Tray, Blanche, and Sweetheart
Little dogs and alp
Join in the hue and cry.
Nothing to lose but everything to gain, be-
longing to no healthy organization of party,
they catch at straws, magnify mole-hills, and
court the contempt Of the community in variety
Of ways. This is peculiarly the history of the
Cleveland press on this Nebraska subject. 1t
struck us as exceedingly odd that the freesoil
and fusion papers, which have always de.
nounced with their bitterest invectiyes the
Z Missouri compromise" should now oil at once
turn the indignant defenders Of that measure,
and denounce Douglas and his associates for
with it. We could not understand
