senator Upson--Nebraska.

Senator Upson of this District, has done himself
great credit, by moving SO promptly against the
nefarious scheme of the Administration in refer
ence to Nebraska. Can we expect. however, any
just action from the majority of the present Legs-
lature, composed as it is of men who are base and
seryile enough to adopt the Baltimore Platform as
their crredf
A correspondent of the Forest City Democrat
writes from Columbus, touching Senator Upson's
resolutions. as follows:
You will notice that Mr.. Upson, the Senator
from Summit, has very properly aud promptly in
troduced resolutions, protesting against Mr.. Doug

cally called public attantion. The order for its
printing is indicative of estimate of the impor-
tance of the subject, but further than this nothing
can yet be judged by any action, of The views of
the Legislature. May the voice of Ohio, through
her egisature-tbropgh her Senators and Re-
presenttives at Washington-through all her or
gans, be emphatic uffirrnaion of the sentiments
of these resolutions.

Il We insert the following, not from any feel
ing Of personal obligation, nor because we assent
to its propositions, but because we are willing the
venerable writer, since he desires it, should have
his say.
The true friends of Temperance neither will be.
nor should be satisfied with anything short of
stringent, prohibitory law, similar in its principal
provisions to the Maine Law. Nothing less than
general State law, backed by the authority, in
huence and power of the State, one operating with
equal force in city, village aud hamlet, in every
nook and corner, will be satisfactory. The people
have not decided against such law. They have
been deceived and misled by subtle demagogues,
by mixing up extraueous questions, &c. Not
always, however, can the people thus be cheated,
and induced to neglect their own best interests.
The insinuation that prohibitory liquor law
would be unconstitutional, may become an nvete-
rate, compliant parrish but do credit to the
philanthropy or intelligence of any man.
That sufficiently stringent, prohibitory liquor
law, essentially embodying the features of the
Maine Law, would be unconstitutional, may be
covertly insinuated, but no person of reputation
will venture to stake his reputation upon the as
sertion of such q proposition.

Sen0fese" democracy ~ struck IN
The false democracy are every where revealing
their base nsincerity. and apostacy from the true
principles of Liberty and Democracy. Early in
the session DIR. Townshend, the Senator from Lo-
rain, moved that W. H. Day, Editor of the '' Ali.
ned American" Cleveland, be admitted within the
bar as Reporter for his own paper, stating that
Mr.. Day was colored man, but that the Anglo
Saxon blood SO predominated, as to entitle him to
the rights of voting citizenship. Mr.. Day was
| admitted. ~'a
| But the adoption of the Baltimore Platform as
| the creed of the party, and certain hints from
Washington, fired up the Pierceites in the Senate,
and the cry of "nigger" was raised against Mr.
Day. On the Goth inst., he was excluded from
Reporters Desk, by vote of II to 10, on the
| ground, as stated 10 the Preamble to the resou-
ton of exclusion, of MISUNDERSTANDING amalgama-
ton of principles, amalgamaton Of politics. as well
as amalgamation of races, believing all fusion of
politics and persons degrades the original purity Of
both, and prefsrring to extend the principles of
the Senate to a negro Of full blood."
Some Senators pretended that they did not
know of Mr.. Days color when he was admitted,
though DIR. Townshend distinctly stated the fact,
and his remarks were reported and published in
the Columbus papers. MIR. Upson, Mr.. Foote,
| Mr.. Sherman and other honorable men, opposed
| the resolution of exclusion, but were of course
overcome by the Pierceites. DR.. Townshend
was absent.
| Can the Baltimore Pierceites find lower deer
of infamy! Will the people tolerate every out
rage and abuse, which slavery and it's seryiles
may perpetrate in the name of Democracy !
Will nothing open the eyes of men?

Proposal for n Temperance Law.

Proposal for n Temperance Law.
Mr.. EDITOR 81 have observed in your paper,
frequent illusions to the law passed by the last
Legislature, authorizing trustees of Townships
to suppress tppling houses-sometimes complain
ing of defects of the law, and sometimes of the
agents for carrying it into effect. And, believe.
have seen some where, doubts expressed Of the
power of the Legislature to make an efficient law
of the kind, under our present Constitution.
To obviate all such difficulties-as the Maine
Law appears to have been decided against by the
people-I propose that we make an effort to
strengthen the present law to prevent tppling and
intemperance, by petition to the Legislature now
in session, and urging-if law of that kind may
not be deemed as eonstitutionul-tha the LegisIa-
ture Immediately take the incpient measure to
procure an amendment of the Constitution, to au-
thorze the Townships to pass bye-laws to sup
presg intemperance, and for other purposea-the
same as towns and villages nre authorized to do.
If mistake not, the Ohio Star, under your SUPER
intendsnce, advocated that principle, pending the
formation of the present Constitution; and think
your Party Conventions sanctioned the same, as
truly Democratic. Such law would think, be
more agreeable to public sentiment than The
Maine Law and if all the friends of Temperance
will unite on it, as see no reason to doubt thew
will if the press will do its duty, it can be made
and carried into effect. Yours,
JOHN HARMON.
