We this day fling out the name Of Cooper
X. Watson, Esq, Of this place as the Anti
Nebraska candidate for Congress. We
feel proud, that such a name is nailed to
our mast head. In him, we have every
reason to know that the North will find in
Congress, should he be elected, as now in
bis capacity as q private citizen, an able
and fearless defender Of human freedom
That cowardice which characterized the
servile doughfaces from the North, who
voted 10 open the beautiful and widely ex-
tended territories Of Kansas and Nebraska
to the incoming Of human slavery, will en-
counter no enemy more energetic and pow
erful, and no tongue moro ready and bitter
in its denunciation. While he combines
the bearing Of the gentleman and the man,
his action upon all questions of legislative
interest will be prompt and decisive. For
us to speak of the character aud ability Of
Mr.. Watson is perhaps unnecessary. He
has long been among the men and voters
Of this county and district They have full
means OF Judging Of his forensic and legal
attainments, and well do they know, that
a comparison with Mr. Plants, his opponent
woul dbe both invidious and unjust.
But for the election Of Mr.. Watson as the
representative of the Anti-Nebraska princi-
pie we are most especially anxious. We
might perhaps, had our choice been consult
ed alone, preferred that good reliable
man embodying the national principles of
Henry Clay upon other questions of policy,
were before us for support, but those ques-
tions, we are fully content TO lay aside for
the prospect Of the success in the cause Of
the North at this time. Collateral issues
can await advocacy till another day in our
policy, but this question of North or no
North demands immediate and paramount
attention. Time is precious. This district
has, in common with other parts of our
State, a right and interest too sacred TO be
trifled with, BY any other GREEN congress
man. Plants, the nominee Of the Nebraska
ties, is Just the tool TO bend the supple
hinges Of the knee and lick the spittle of
Douglas and bis paid overseers, such as
Olds and Richardson.
AS Douglas has bis slaves in the South
and overseers to scourge them to labor for
his good, so in the Capitol of the country,
he has slaves bound by the ties of party,
and natural servility, men who wear white
skins. and go to Washington with creden-
tials which give them seats in Congress-
Over these, and under himself, be has his
drivers and overseers, who crack the whip
apply the lash 10 the back Of all such of bis
slaves as evince sloth or insubordination in
forwarding their masters ends.
Freeman of Seneca! which will you
choose? Will you vote, with the VOWS Of
Patriotism upon you, for man to represent
you in Congress, who bows his neck for
the yoke of the master? Will you sane
ton the destruction Of the last compact for
freedom? Will you sell yourselves into
the hands of truce breakers, under the self
assumed name of poplar sovereignty p
Who can lay bis hand on his heart, and
breath an aspiration to Heaven for Amer
icsn Freedom, while with his other hand
he casts his ballot for Slavery? Let the
good man and the patriot, stop and con-
slider. Let the polls be sacred place for
the discharge Of sacred duty and we fear
not the result.
Let every Anti-Ncbraska man talk with
bis neighbor and see that he casts his vote
early and right--TGn Tribune.
