Is as close ~ the "accord and harmony be-

what then, becomes the paramount duty Of
all Unif ,n-loving men, North and South? 1t is
to rise at once, and meet face to face, and put
down this unholy alliance between our Northern
anti slavery factions and the British aristocracy
tt lis unholy alliance of sedition, disunion, and
CIV lwar. In this view we call upon the people Of
NJ w Hampshire, the Union-loving men of all par

the Administration at Westinghouse call
upon them to meet this Nebraska bill as a ques-
ton between the Constitution and the Union on
the one hand, and the Anglo-American anti
slavery conspiracy of disunion on the other. We
see that the teachings of Kossuth, Kinkel and
MaEzini have sown broadcast among our German
population the seeds of abolitionism; but let
the people of New Hampshire open the ball on
the other side on Tuesday next. 1t is said that
the triumph of the democrats will be triumph
not only of the administration in New Hamp-
shire, but of the Nebraska bill in the House

has tackled itself to Douglas and his bill! The
measure is constitutional Let the people, then,
of New Hampshire, meet the question upon this
direct issue-"Shall the Nebraska bill be passed
by the House, or defeated?" The wings oppose
it, the democrats are for it. The case is clear
The bill hangs fire in the House. awaiting the
voice of New Hampshire. Let that voice be

We can only stand upon the Constitution.
THE STREETs-THE PEOPLES MOVEMENT
1t will be seen, from the proceedings of the mass
meeting in the Park yesterday afternoon, that
the movement Of the people ON behalf of clean
streets is assuming definite and tangible shape.
The course of action adopted at this meeting
cannot fail, if followed up with spirit, in pro-
ducing the most beneficent results to our city
The precedent thus established indicates the
only alternative of reform in the administration
OF our municipal affairs. Limited as it has been
to the condition of the streets, our fellow-citi-
zens will perceive in this movement the key to
the solution of all the existing abuses in the
corporation. 1t is simply this that when the
patience of the people is exhausted they shall
fall back upon the sovereign authority, dismiss
their unworthy servants, and appoint others,
and when this fails to take their own business
into their own hands, demanding such amend
ments in the fundamental law as will render it
practically useful, instead of being stalking
horse for corrupt speilsmen.
We trust that the general committee from the
several wards which is to meet at the Astor
House tomorrow will draw up petition to
the Legislature, calling upon that body to make
such amendments in our city charter as will
remedy the grievances complained Of 1t is
necessary that some one of our city authorities
should be made responsible for the cleaning of
the streets, that the people may hereafter know
who is accountable for the neglect of this i'm
portant duty. From the report of the Board of
Health, published in another column, it will be
seen that that body have taken measures for
the immediate cleaning Of the streets; but this
does not at all interfere with the radical move
ment of the people, which contemplates per-
manent reform. Let it be followed up.
