Perfect lIarmOny.--On The first page o.
this paper will be found the Nebraska bill
as it passed the United States Senate, and
in another column will be found the pre-
amble and resolutions adopted by a meet.
of some of our citizens, assembled at the
Court House on Friday evening last
We apprehend that the sentiments of mel.
ther will materially suffer from a com
parison.
The preamble says the people are ca
pable of self government. Congress say
so too. and the bill gives them the right.
The preamble says that Congress has be
;rayed their trusts. and violated good
faith. Congress thinks so too, or they
would not have passed the Nebraska bill,
forerer removing from that body the pri-
vilege of re peating the offence upon the
subject Of slavery.
A resolution Of the meeting says. that
an effort is recognized in the bill 10 dis
tarb the vexed question Of slavery, sup
posed aud declared TO hare been settled
in 1850. Congress is Of the same opin-
ion, and have fully surrendered their right
to ever disturb it again, and referred its
future settlement to the people who arc
capable of self government.
Well. really. from the manifest harmo.
ny between the meeting end Congress.
we should be at u loss TO determine
whether il was a Nebraska or anti Ne
braska meeting. WIS it not for the terri
BILE scolding and denunciation of Congress
by the meeting. and we believe this
might be amicably settled, if Congress
will apologize TO the meeting. Denun-
citation and scolding. however, do not es.
tablish principle. The utter adherence
manifested by the meeting Of the idea OF
disturbing the shaping subject o slarsry.
so efectually Quoted in 1850. is such q
strange position for Free Sellers to assume
that We might err. in calling it a Free
Soil meeting. We had understood tina,
their only living watchword in relation
to the fugitive slave laws of 1850, was
REPEAL! REPEAL!
Taking the preamble and resolutions os
a whole, We cheerfu.ly endorse the main
principles inculcated by them. and tc

And whereas said compromise was at the
time acquiesced in. and has not been
controverted since by Congressional

And whereas, we believe the question as

to bind any subsequent Congress, is
perfectly immaterial.
And whereas, by the bill now before Con

recognize a repeal Of said compromise

And whereas. We hare confidence in the

ResolUed. That we recognize in the bill
above referred to. an effort TO disturb the
vexed question Of slavery, supposed and
declared to have been settled in 1850.
Resolped. That we recognize this bill
as one which. if passed, opens the door
through which slavery may be introduced
into that vast territory, in direct viola
ton Of the compromise of 1880. which de-
clared that slavery..should never be intro.
duced there.
Resoleed. That the bill now before
Congress for organizing said territory up
on principles which violate and totally
annul the provisions in favor Of freedom
above referred to. is Tin direct violation
of the rights Of the free States. whether
regarded in the light of a pure moral law.
or even in that of the more flexible prin.
ciples which usually control political
movements"
Resolusd, That we solemnly and earn
estly protest against the passage of the
bill above mentioned. so far as the same
is in conflict with the Missouri Compro-
mise; and we do hereby instruct and re-
quest our Representatives in Congress to
use their influence and vote in the defeat
Of this bill.
