The members Of Congress from the Southern
States, therefore, seem inclined to again make
the Slavery agitation faro up in full blaze
This Territorial bill is altogether opposed to
the Missouri Compromise, and the passage
thereof would completely abolish this Compro-
mise The law of March 9Th, 1920, for the
construction of the State of Missouri, says ex-
pressly that the whole land north of So deg 80
min. ceded to the United States by France, un-
der the name of Louisiana, should forever re-
main freed of Slavery, or that slaves who seek
refuge there should be delivered up TO their
owners. But now BY far the greatest portion
OF the land under this French Louisiana I"
was understood, and must, according to the
provisions of the Missouri Compromise, remain
. free Territory, and subsequently, constitute q
free State.
The South, which always boasts SO much Of
firmly sdhering to all Compromises, here gives
not very honorable example of the knight
ly" manner of keeping lis word It is to be
foreseen that this bill will again infiame the
Slavery conflict in its full violence, but the
Southern men will find that the Missouri Com
promise is not 30 easily overthrown as they
may think, for there will be but few Northern
Hunkers who will stand by the South in this
question. The question will hardly be brought
to an issue in this session. and should it be
transferred to the Presidential chair of the
year 1856, it viii have the good effect, that it
will somewhat purify our Democratic par
ty. No damage without emolument
From the Now York Abend Zsitungl
The report in regard to tho organization of
the Nebraska Territory, will call forth hot con-
ficts in both Houses of Congress, for it con-
tains full stimulation of the Missouri Com
promise. Old Benton, the most energetical
defender of the new Territory will certainly
oppose the report in its present form most per-
tinaoiously. The Hunkers think that the con-
verted Free-soilers and Van Burenites are to
pass the fiery ordeal on this occasion. One can
certainly impute nothing more to them than
for them to give their consent to the erection
of a new slave State.
The three German papers here quoted from,
are acknowledging Democratic.

Though it has often been urged that Slavery
was aggressive IN its nature the proof of the

been entirely conclusive. To many Northern

ern gentlemen, and it was then discovered that
an important declaratory section. legislating
into the bill the princtples of the Compromises,
bad been omitted by a clerical error! Even
after this remarkable clerical error had been
rectifed, the bill was unsatisfactory, and now
Mr.. Douglas proposes more amendments-to
divide the Territory into two; to charge the
Treasury with the expense Of two Territorial
Governments; to strike out the clerical error
section, and insert elsewhere in the bill clause
excepting from the laws of the United States
extended over the Territory, the Missouri Pro-
hibition. This last proposed amendment will
| read thus:
"That the Constitution and all laws of the
United States, which are not locally inapplica-
bic, shall have the same force and effect with
in the said Territory of Nebraska as elsewhere
within the United States except the eighth Sec
tion Of the act preparatory to the admission of
| Missouri into the Union, approved March 6fh,
1920, tobich tcas superseded By the principles of
| the Legislation Of 1850, commonly called the
| Compromise Measures and is hereby declared
inoperdttue"
This amendment is q manifest classification
of the truth Of history, as is shown in the BODY
of the foregoing address. Not man in Con.

that the Compromise Measures would repeal
the Missouri Prohibition. Mr.. Douglas himself

1t is no use clubbing about Compromises.

Is all folly to talk of its settlement. Neither
OF these classes will remain quiet, if every
Free Soiler In the country should seal his lips.

the present Congress, we cannot foresee; but if
1t does not provoke an agitation loud, long,
deep, and effectual the Spirit of Liberty is
drugged with an opiate more profound than
any to which she has heretofore been accus-
toned IL the South or the ambitious aspi-
rants who desire to cultivate the favor of the
South, persist in exciting renewal of the
Slavery agitation, the North will be ready to
meet it. The free States do not seek it, but
they surely will not shun it; and, if pressed
into the struggle, it will &c found we trust that
they "knOw their rights, and, knowing, dare

these Compromises, we commend this exposi-

The pretences, therefore, that the Territory,
covered by the positive prohibition of 1920, sus-
tains similar relation to Slavery with that
acquired from Mexico, covered by no prohibi-
ton except that of disputed Constitutional or
Mexican Law, and that the Compromises Of
1850 require the incorporation of the proslavery
clauses of the Utah and New Mexico Bill in
the Nebraska Act, are mere inventions design

consented. In 1854, the Slave States say to

To tie Editors of the Teleqraph:


To tie Editors Of the TeiegrapA:
~ You, as well as the people of this County
generally, suppose, feel deeply interested in
every movement that looks like benefiting our
City, and tends to the ultimate complexion of
our Rail Road enterprise, and probably will
be gratiied to know that the Directors of the
Kenosha and Beloit r. r. Co., at a special
meeting of the Board to-day, effected an ar
rangement with the Contractors of the Co.
to put upon the work at once, at least $50
men, and to retain that number on the work
in grading until the first of May next and
the Contractors also give every assurance that
with this number of men, the Road will be
entirely graded from the city to Fox river by
the first of May next, and from what the con-
tractors state, there can be no doubt but iron
will be laid on the track graded, early in the
summer. Too much praise connot be awar
ded to the energy of the contractors of this
Road, and their desire to meet the wishes of
the Directors in forwarding this work as much
as possible. Mr. Worthy left here for the
East some two weeks since to make arrange
ments for Iron for the Road, and other things

that he has had better success than was an
ticipated. The Directors also at this meet
inc made arrangements for an effort to be
made to obtain stock subscriptions, from the
Farmers of the County to aid in the enter
prise, determining that if the citizens of the
County, and along the line of the Road, would
subscribe for stock to the amount of fifty
IL 4 fl,a nv ha
given up. The Directors believe that the
farmers of this County are as much interest
ed in having the Road completedas the city,
and that they will be disposed to render some
material aid corresponding with their known
wealth and liberality upon all objects presen-
ted to their favor. The City of Kenosha
has lent its faith to the Road to the amount
of $4,000, and the citizens of the city have
subscribed to the stock to the amount of over
100000. and it cannot be supposed the far
mers IN the county at large, will stand back
and be lockers on when there is so much at
stake, when the city and people of the city
have done so much.
If the people Of the County of Kenosha
will for this object cooperate with the city,
this Road can be in operation to Fox river
by first of August next, and city and county
be reaping rich return for their enterprise.
| am told that the farmers along the line of
every Rail Road, and the people generally in
the counties through which Roads are being
made, are subscribing literally for stock, ard
shall it be said that kenosha County stands
in the back ground! No, they will not, for
they are as proud of their County and their
City, as Others are of their own, and are will
ing and determined, | have no doubt that
kenosha County shall be the first County in
the State in Rail Roads, as she is in all things
else. T.
