Mr.. cLINeMAN AND STATISTICS.

Mr. Clingman, in his speech yesterday on
the Nebraska Bill, comparing the free and
slave States, said the latter contained as many
churches, and fewer paupers. This paupcr
humbug we exposed few days since. word
as to church accommodations. Mr. Clingman
does not tell the whole, truth. The Census
shows that there are more churches or meet
ing houses in the slave States in proportion to the
population than in the free--but that fact does
not show the average amount Of church ac-
commodation, or the average value Of church
property. Let Mr.. Clingman consult the Gen.
sns, and he will find that the average accom-
modations for worshippers are greater in the
free than in the slave States, and that the ag-
gregatc value of church property in tho for
mer is about $67, 1877, 900, while in the latter
it is only $4,000 OOO The single State Of
New York contains church property to the
value of 1921 600 900, or So, 100000 more than
the aggregate value of the church property in
tho fifteen slaveholding States.
1t will not do for the Slavery men to provoke
comparisons between the effects Of free-labor
and slavelabor institutions

DAILY NATIONAL ERA.

Remember-if you vote with the Admins
tation Party, under protest il is your vote
that il heard, not your protest The vote is
for the Administration that is recorded--not
the protest. Twenty thousand voters in favor
Of Administration candidates. may say that
they do not favor the Nebraska Bill, but their
votes secure the election Of candidates who
win sustain an Administration that does favor
the measure, and is pledged to secure its pas
sage. The Slavery Propagandists will gra-
ciously forgive your protests, 80 long as they
can have your votes: allow you even to curse
the Bill while you vote for an Administration
able and determined to make it Law.
Meantime, the opponents Of the Bill in the
House certainly are too well acquainted with
the craft and energy OF its advocates, 70
become careless and oyer-confident. change
Of eight votes, as we once before remarked
would have carried the day against them,
There is rumor that new Bill, containing
substantially the provisions Of the one lodged
in Committee of the Whole, is to be introduced
to the House ut some suspicious moment, and
to be carried by coup de main. Another ru-
nor is that the original bill Of Mr.. Douglas,
covertly accomplishing what the referred Bill
openly provides for-the repeal Of the Missouri
Compromises to be brought forward 1t is
said again that the important bills now on the
Calendar In advance Of the House Nebraska
Kansas Bill, arc to be horried through, with
little debate, and the unimportant ones laid
aside, until the great measure DO reached,
when the Senate Bill is to be moved as an
amendment. Let our friends be on their
guard against ambiguous movements, against
surprise, against deceptive amendments. The
champions Of the Bill mean the repeal Of the
Missouri Compromise and nothing else!
Whatever amendments or notifications they
may propose, will not be suffered to interfere
with that object; but their design will be to
mystify the People, or to give wayering Repre-
sontatiyes pretext for supporting the bill
The only legitimate object Of bill in relation
to Nebraska is to give it Territorial Govern
n,ent; and this object is completely provided
for in Halls bill, as it is styled, which passed
the House at it's last session by an overwhelm-
ing vote, and would have passed the Senate
had it been reported there, and called up in
season. Let tho real friends of Nebraska take
their stand upon this, and not be caught by
any olap-trap amendments to the repeal bill
now in Committee. That bill is a proposition
to repeal the Missouri Compromise Halls

ernment for Nebraska We 60 for Nebraska,

The Nebraska papers will have it that all
the clamor against the repeal OF the Missouri
Compromise is got up by Abolitionists, and
they characterize all movements against it ~

cred that the Administration has lost New

forces have been utterly routed in Connecticut,

conclude that Abolitiouists are multiplying to

WASHINGTON, March IL, 1854.
DEAR SrR: Your letter assuring me Of the
approval by my constituency of tho course
which thought il my plain duty TO pursue, in
opposition TO the repeal Of the Missouri pro-
hibition of Slavery, was thankfully received.
The considerations which You 20 clearly and
ably urge, must it seems TO me, satisfy oil rea-
sonable minds OF the impolicy, the wrong the
bad faith, OF such q repeal.
Whether the attempt TO effect IL be success
ful or not, the movement ITSELF supported and
urged, as il has been, aud IL, by the nearly
unanimous voice and vote Of the Representa-
tives OF the slave States, in the Senate and
House Of Representatives, admonishes MS that
compromises outside Of the Constitution can
settle nothing permanently between Slavery
and Freedom
Henceforward the people Of the free States,
if they wish TO exert their Just influence in the
administration OF the Federal Government,
must insist on the original policy OF the nation
and the plain provisions Of the Consultation in
respect TO Slavery.
That policy, IL has boon often demonstrated,
was the exclusion Of Slavery from all national
territory; and these provisions de not permit
the General Government to deprive any person
Of liberty without due process Of Law, and con-
sequcntly do not authorize Congress to cnslave
or sanction the cnslavement Of any human be-
ing IL IL truc that, under the influence Of
strong desire for peace, and harmony and
union, tho people Of the free States have acqui-
esced in many departures from that policy, and
in frequent instances of disregard Of those pro
visions. The allowance OF Slavery in the Dis
trict OF Columbia; the permission of Slavery in
the Territories coded f,y North Carolina, Gcor-
gia, France, Spain, and Mexico, and tho sanc-
ton Of tho slave trade in licensed and enrolled
vessels OF the United States, arc some Of these
instances. Tho enactment Of tho Fugitive
Slave Acts Of 1923 and 1850 are instances

The following extract from a Lecture deliv

jr., furnishes a pretty fair illustration OF tho
effect produced upon Northern Compromise
men by the attempt to repeal the Missouri
Compromise
"What action Congress may see tit 70 take
upon it, remains hidden in the womb OF the iu-
ture; but one thing is certain, whether she

they are to become great political power in
