True Wing, leaves no room for doub
with regard to the character of th'
Nebraska Bill, and the duty Of South
ern men especially in reference to it
] The NcJruska-Kansas Bill Point.
for NatoadI Southern men to think of
Why does every abolitionist and
freesoiler in or out Of Congress oppose
the Nebraska Bill with all the ener.
! gies Of their nature, and with all the
characteristic vehemence of fanaticaI
enthusiasm? Have they abandoned
their sworn hostility to Southern
Iintd rests, or laid aside the cunning
and malice which has hitherto actua-
ted them? When did the Ethiopian
change the color of his skin or the
leopard his spots? And when was
Northern faraticism ever known to
have a sound reason for it's course
upon any national question Involving
the disposition of the territories of
the United States. How wohdrously
yirtuous they and their whole tribe
Of motley adherents must have sud-
denly become. if opposition to Che
Nebraska Kansas bill, repeating the
unjust Missouri Comprise, (long since
violated by the North;) is good na-
tional American policyl!
Again; How very strange, if the
Nebraska Kansas bill is not a good
national measure, conservative in its
tendencies, that its Chief supporters
at the North are among the most
active aud thorough going support
ers of the compromise Of lS50-men
of established character for national
and comprehensive views-and that
its supporters there are found only
in the ranks of the tried and uniform
friends Of southern rights? Have
they forgotten the wiles Of fanaticlsm,
or do they understand less now than
formerly how to beard it in its den,
and battle with it in its lair? Or
have they, by Il strange and uhac-
countable tran nsmogrilicati5n become
traitors to the South, while lreesoil-
ers d md abolitionists, Garrison, Gree
ly, Van Buren, s. Co, have become
her most reliable and judicious Nor
thern friends?
And again: IF this bill is un-
friendly @ Southern rights and inter
ests, how happens it that SO large a
lnaiority-nine tenths, Of all the
Southern Senators and Represents
tives, from the South, including both
parties-there upon the ground to
investigate and to observe for them
selves all the influences conhected
with It's history, should be deceived
into the belief that it deserves their
support, as southern and national
men3 Let The Southern people con-
slider whether, in the very nature of
things, Sc large majority, upon a /
question SO thoroughly and ably dis
cussed as this, are not more likely
than the minority Of about one in
ten, to be upon the right side9
We have heretofore discussed the
merits Of the bill Mt some length, and
we merely advert incidentally to the
remarkable combination of facts re-
ferred to in these qneries, which
seem to us we'll calculated to arrest
the thoughtful consideration of those
ainoag the masses OF the people, be
they few or many, who oppose the
bill, or hesitate 10 give it their une-
duivocal approval.

MnSsulman.

The origin of the term Mussul-
man is supposed to be derived from
the Arabic word musatcR, meaning
preserved According to Martinus,
the Mahommetans, establishing their
religion BY. fire aud the sword, mas
sacred ali those who would not en-
brace it, aud granted life to all that
did, calling them AIussulmans, or
persons snatched out of danger,
whence the word, in course Of time,
became the Distinguishing title of all
that sect who have affixed to it the
signification of True Believer. The
word Bosptoras, or. as it should be,
BySporus, in Greek, signifies mar
row sea, which it is snpposeda a bullock
may swim over. Why il was first
applied to the Strait of Constantine
pie is not well known 1t IS said
that the Phrygians, desirous Of passt
Ing the fhracian Strait, built a ves1
sci OF. whose PROV was the figure Of
a bullock. According to mythology
ical tradition, il derives its name from
the passage of 10 over one Of the /
straits SO called, when She was turned |
into COW. The Bosporus, as thus
explained, literally .siguiies--'the
passage Of the COW
