MESsRs. MORRISON AND KITTREDGE, OF NEW
HAMPSHIRE

The Boston Post says that much surprise and regret an
expressed in that section of the Union the course Of
Messrs Morrison and Kittredge upon the Nebraska qu
ton The democratic papers received from New Hamp
shire yesterday express the opinion In the second
congressional district in that State represented by Nj
Morrison, there are three democratic papersthe New
Hampshire Patriot the Union Democrat and the Nashua
Cazete-a of them conducted with energy very large
intelligence The New Hampshire Patriot and Nashua
Gazette are before u.s. and from them clip the following
extracts They important and significant at this time
The Patriot the leading paper of the State speaks of the
opposition made the will of the majority last week in the
House as follows
.sTe pursued by the opponents of the Nebraska
bill is revolutionary in its tendency, plain violation Of the
settled maxim that the will majority should govern
the vital principle of republics, Mr.. Jefferson styles
We not at all surprised to the abolition leaders
preaching such revolutionary doctrines and resorng such
factous measures bm surprising that democras and rep
reenores Of democratic Constituencies, those opposed
the BILL should be found cordially cooperating @ these nora
traitors foouing their lead and effect, encouraging that
hand Of rebellion and chich iconld fire the Capitol Of
the nao and consume the representatives. Of the people
so1idering ruins 10 dfeat the sM Of the majority These
abolition demagogues well that if the Nebraska
bill passes their vocation gonethat will their poll,
ca death warrant by putting end TO that reckless ag
ton Of the slavery question which constitutes their sole
naming political capital Hence it is with them death
struggles and hence also the bill should receive the support
Of all who desire preserve the harmony Of the country and
the perpetuy of the Union which these unprncplcd dcma
gogues perpetually cndangering. And the aearoa
couaseis and actous of these deoyogues fo
the indignation Of all right-minded and
those who found participating their atrocioas desgn r
roeeipe rebake The hoads Of Intelligent and pa
triotic people"
The Nashua Gazette noble and gallant exponent Of the
great principles of our faith, says
The facous and disorganzng course pursued BY The
opponents Of the Nebraska bill in tile House bodies no good
for the future :
We believe the course of the minority in the House will
not meet the approving voice of their constituents If there
principle of republican system that the Amer
lean people cherish than another is the found
tion principle of constitutional governmenthe eev
dent proposition the political axiom, that the majority shall
rule. The who, a representative Congress tramps
that principle under foot, roiaes his official oath and IL.
constitution and his constituency will hold him to strict
accountability"
The opponents of the bill evidently took the r cue from
the New York Tribune. That paper and
mended this to revolutionary proceedings upon the
part the minority defeat the bill. Blood and carnage
confagration and the ruin Of the Capitol preferable
Greeley to the passage of the bill"
Again, in another article the Gazette says
jefferson laid down axiom acquescence in the de-
csons of the majority the vital principle of republics from
which there appeal but to force, the vital principle and
the mnedoto parent Of dc-po@m The actous disorganl
ing minority the House rcpudating this maxim BY
their conduct the Nebraska bill Let the people mark then
and hold them 70 a strict accountability"
The three papers of party printed 10 Mr. Kttredgt,
district have not to hand since the proceedings d
las, week in Congress upon the Nebraska bill but whA
received shall fail to spprize readers Of Their
sentiments.
