FRIDAY, DEC. Is, 1854.


bill is an exact copy of the eighth section Of
the act of 9Th March, 1920, admitting Mis-
souri, into the Union.
The simple intimation Of this intention, By
Mr.. Mace. created considerable excitement
amongst the fre-eaters and doughfaces who
fill the benches of the Capitol; and, some of
them we're very declamatory about it. Mr..
English, of Indiana, Mr.. Mace's colleague,
characterized the introduction of this notice
as an evidence of disappointment, on the part
of those who had attempted to exclude sla.
verv by emigration. He said that they found
themselves voted down by the people, and
now attempted to repair the ground they had
lost, by legislation.
Mr.. Oliver, of Missouri, justified the fill
busterism practiced by the Missourians at tile
late election in Kanzas; and defended Sena.
tor Atchson's conduct in organizing secret
association of bngus voters, to control the
elections in that territory. as equally honora-
bic with the conduct of the Emigrant Aid So
ciety, who had assisted actual settlers 10 estab'
lish themselves there.
Mr.. Washburn, of Maine, supported Mr.
Mace; and, emphatically informed the Ne
braseals, that the sentiment of the North was
almost universally in favor of restoring the
Missouri Compromise; and, they must not be
surprised at motions to that effect.
This short debate was interesting, in so far
as it developed the temper and sentiments of
the gentlemen engaged in it. 1t showed that
the North, in so far as Messrs. Mace and
Washburn represented it, was not disposed
any longer, to pursue its former policy of
passive resignation to every act of Southern
aggression but, was now determined to act
upon the offensive. All the Fictitious obliga-
tons against agitation imposed by the "great
marty" conventions, were repudiated and bro
ken by the pro-slavery men, during the last
session of Congress. And, the ''compromi-
ses,'' which had been declared "sacred' by
the highest wing and democratic authorities,
were profaned and repealed with the
most insolent effrontery, by the friends
of the peculiar institution" Mr.. Mace
is, therefore, under no sort of obligation
to let this matter rest single hour, if
he feels is to be his duty to push it. Let him
then, renew The agitation of the Nebraska
question and keep it before Congress, until
there are votes enough in Congress to re.im-
pose the Anti-Slayery restriction. Anti
Slavery Representatives need not specially,
confne themselves to the reimposition of the
Missouri restriction. Let them oppose, on
every occasion, any possible extension of
slavery in the United States.
The structures of Mr.. Oliver, of Missouri,
upon the Emigrants Aid Society; and, his
justification of "Dayie Atchison's" mon
strous scheme of importing bogus voters to
the territories, shows how little is to be ex
pected from the moral sense of the men of
whom he is the representative. He consid-
ers it disreputable to establish free schools,
churches, saw mills, and busy, thriving towns
in Kanzas and, defends the organization of
secret societies to put down such institu-
tons. Liberty, education, religion, and in
dustry are crimes in the eyes of this man;
and, perjury and brute violence are honorable
connteractiYes OF them.
We hope that the friends of freedom will
intermit no opportunity to agitate the ques-
ton of Slavery in Congress. 1t is a question
which cannot be ignored, and, which it
would be criminal to ignore if it could be.
Slavery is moral pestilence, creeping into
and CORFU pting every institution in the ma
ton. Let us have the hurricane of agitation,
no matter how violent it may be, rather than
the continuance Of this detestable political
leprosy.
The love of distinction is very multifarious
in its manifestations. One of the most Pc
culiar thatwe have seen, is, in the following
notice of death, copied from a Southern
paper:-
In Louisville, KY 25th ult Geo W. Kinney. brother
ofthe wie OF Chief Justice Hcrnblower, Of Newark in
the 63d year Of age.
srHH Albany SAFE.-A letter from the
british Consul at Carthagena, dated Oct 10,
states that the U. S. sloop- war Albany was
then at that place, all well.
IMpoRrANr.-We have the honor to an
nounce that DR.. J. " G. Smith, the Mayor of
this city, called at the Counting Room of this
Office yesterday afternoon, paid up his sub
scriptiou for the Ereaing Telegraph, and Or
dered his paper stopped.-Boston Telegraph.
We could quote high authority to justify
Mayor Smith in the course he has taken.
A HEAVY FAI1URE.-We regret to learn
that Messrs. Hill, Carpenter g. Co, Wool
Dealers, and manufacturers, were under the
necessity of suspending payment, yesterday.
Every effort was made on their part to meet
their liabilities, but the heavy capital invest
ed, and the extreme stringency of the money
market, together with heavy losses they have
suffered by the failures of others, rendered
thus the only alternative. There is no firm in
the State the business connections of which
are so extensive, or the suspension Of the
business of which, will affect so many indi-
viduals We fear this is but the beginning
of the end.--Proridence Tribune. Dec. l4th.
1t is said that the liabilities Of this concern
amount to from $500, 900 to $780, 900, due
chiefly to the Banks and note shavers in
Providence.
