These men, while pretending, it may be, TO
regret and oppose the Nebraska bill, insult us
with declarations Of favor for the general
course Of the Administration, when it's noto-
rious that its general course is absolute sub
servience to the Slave Interest.
What have the friends Of Freedom TO 90
with such leaders and such Party Leave
them to the support Of the small aristocracy
Of shareholders, Of whom they are the vassals
Ii the Democratic rank and file in the several
States would vindicate their claim to the title
of Democracy let them renounce such leaders,
and Join with Independent Democrats, In the
inauguration of Party Of Freedom. SO long
as they stand by their leaders, and the Admin
istration, they are responsible for their acts,
and no Independent Democrat cam without
shame consent to any arrangement with them,
by which, for an equivalent, Administration
men shall be chosen to Offices OF trust or in.
fiuence. There can be, indeed, no equivalent
for such sacrifice Let sincere Democrats,
determined to rebuke an Administration that
has signalized itself alone by subservesce to
Slavery, join with the Independents Democ-
racy, in support Of real Democratic Principles,
and real Democratic Candidates.

MONDAY, APRIL "a, 1854.


In the Senate, to-day circumstances against
the Nebraska scheme were Of course presented,
US we'll as petitions in favor of cheap postage,
and Of granting lands for railroad purposes !;
and also for the securing the religious rights OF
Americans at home and abroad. An amend
cd bill, appropriating $4,000 to reward the
resouers of the San Francisco sufferers, was
passed.
In the House, the legisl. ton was not i'm
portant. In Committee of the Whole, Mr.
Phillips proved that the execution Of the Me-
braska. Kansas scheme would not only not yio-
late the Missouri Compromise, but that there
was no such Compromise Mr. Benton sat
before Mr.. Phillips, but wc are not aware that
he asked any one for proof Of his own identity
He could as well have doubted il, however, as
for moment to credit syllable of what he
heard
The anticipated nsw bill waS not intro
duced. Why we cannot state, but suppose there
were too many members present!
Mr.. Benton and Mr.. Harris of Mississippi
both arose when Mr.. Phillips had concluded,
and Mr.. Benton yielded to Mr. Harris who
spoke at length on the same question. Mr..
Benton may, therefore, be expected to express
his views on the subject tomorrow.

A Musical Box.--During his stay at Kou-
ka, Major Denham received summons from
the sheik, to whom report had been made Of
a musical box, belonging to him, which played
or stopped merely by holding up his finger.
The messenger declared he was dying to see il,
and he must make haste. The wild exclama-
tions of wonder and screams Of pleasure that
this piece Of mechanism drew from the gene
rality OF his visitors were curiously contrasted
in the person Of the intelligent sheik he at
frat was greatly astonished, and asked seve-
raj questions, exclaiming A geib gsib ~
Wonderful! wonderful but the sweetness
Of the Swiss RAM des- Vaches,p which it
played, at last overcame every other feeling;
he covered his face with his hand, and listened
in silence aud on one near him breaking the
charm by loud exclamation, he struck him
blow, which made all his followers tremble.
He instantly asked, "if one twice as large
would not be betterin The major said Yes,
but il would be twice as DEAR "By Allah ~
said he, if ono thousand dollars would pur-
chase it, IL would DO cheap."--Musieal Trans.
