refusal of the King to allow any portion of

the abolition of the House of Representa-

many friends. Denmark has not yet forgot

Democracy and the Nebraska Bill.

Democracy and the Nebraska BIZ.
There is Just effort making by the lead
Of the socailed Democracy in this State to pre-
vent the party from dividing at the coming cleo
tic II on the Nebraska bill A postmaster in Green
county writes TO Mr. Walworth of the Monroe
Sentinel; formerly Democratic paper, but now,
with a praseworthy independence and consisten-
cy strong and earnest advocate of the Republi-
can movement, saying that he is glad to observe
the manly opposition Of the Sentinel to the Ne
braska swinde, but desiring TO know whether il
cannot be equally useful an opponent OF that
measure without forsaking the democracy. -
To this Mr. Waworth, who Is ar. clt-fashioned
Democrat replies, in effect that his principles are
unchanged but that the party has departed from
the principles of liberty, and that II has lett mas
ses of the people and entered into the service OF
slave catchers and slavery propagandists, that he
can no longer act with the leaders of such party
and 10 remain longer in the party and be classed
among their supporters he will not. In another
place ne speaks thus of the inconsistency of Anti
| Nebraska Democrats remaining longer in the par
ty:
Several of the old professed Democratic papers
advocate slavery. the repeal of the Missouri Com
promise, and in fact the whole brood of the slave
ry propa gandist concomitants, and claim them
one and all Democratic measures and doctrine
and freely denounce all who do not support those
measures as political heretcs This is the true
principle of the selfsyled Democratic party now
There others which affect to oppose the slave
ry propaganda and the Nebraska bill, and yet en-.
deayor to cling to the skirts of the party. Wheth
er is this done TO induce the people to believe that
the Democratic party are opposed to slavery ex-
tension, or TO fatter thousands that by such ma
nGuvers they may preserve show of consistency
with the people and retain caste in the party, is
uncertain We pelieve that no man can repudate
the action of the administration on Nebraska and
slavery and still retain good fellowship with the
Democratic party. Such attempts all moon
shine man must be one thing or the other; ifhe
supports the administration and the party he must
support slavery, Nebraska, and all its measures
If he opposes the party in power-there is no mid
die ground"
