THE SANDWICH ISLANDS
From the Galena Lenorsnnian-

IL We clip the following article from the
Platte Argus OF Missouri, as furnishing another
! illustration Of the manner in which agitation has
been quoted by the Nebraska bill Surely the
author Of a measure that produces such a spirit
| OF loving kindness and bro;herly affection among
the people Of one section for those of another is
deserving OF the highest awards of honor that a
grateful people can bestov upon him And if
Mr.. Douglas should not happen to be elected our
next PresIdent we shall almost be ready to coin
eide with the opinion often advanced, that .Repub-
lies are ungratelul, and the people forgetlut Of
their benefactors. We should like however TO
know from some of the advocates of the Nebras-
ka measure, whether the spirit evinced in the fol-
lowing extract, Is the fruit of that Popular Sow
eregnty, which the advocates of that measure
50 much admire. According to that it would
seem, that though we have no right to exclude
StdreS, We have right to force free men from the
soil OF our common Territory. This Popular
Sovereignty may suit the Southern sectionsts
and the Northern apostates, but do not believe
that II will chime with the feelings of those true
Americans-who believe that Thomas Jefferson
wrote no lie when he declared That all men
we're born free and equal y

This agent OF abojionsts; to arrest him and dea!
