The Nom Intervention Principle.
We And among the pr0fessed friends OF the Compro-
.iss lew who Ispudiae il in connexion with the Ne
brasta bill, pending in the United States Senate.
All psEsons found in this category of opposition may be
pontsdly put down nsncere in their compromise pro-
fsssons. They may resort to subiimaied logic. 10 sub
tsrsges and evasoas but they cannot possibly escape
from this plain proposition, viz that the Compromise OF
1850 meant something, and that il il meant any,hing-
il vas mere childs play-i il not mere theory
without any design Of iuflment. cerainy was planned
and asresd to for the purpose Of putting end TO any
further effort on the part OF Congress to meddle with the
domestic institutions Of the Territories, of Territories
seeking admission States. districts Of country ask
Ing 70 BE- organized into Territories.
We lay il down as proposition which canno, be
sapsd from. that no rank himself with the Com
prouiss friends Of 1850 wiihou, subscribing fully to the
principles embraced in the Douglas Nebraska bill II is
inhodimsnt Of the spirit meaning, and object of that
Comssmse. and no sophstry make the of the
eoantsy think differently. THIS bill gives the tender
tooss subscribers to that Compromise opportunity
10 come ou, Of their holes We shall see whether
they have been honest. We shall now whether they
have supported az an abstraction or reality,
theory vital practical Of safety tranquility
and perpetuty Silt the Douglas bill you will, twist
1t into any form your ingenuity may suggest. and you
can 6nd nothing in il the true meaning and intent
Of the Compromise Of 80; and every man who opposes
the bill on grounds connected with the subject OF slavery
must be put down an enemy of that Compromise.
II the Compromise amounts to anythings it certainly
requires that the Territories be left free to adopt
reisct slavery the il they were States. Every
Stats has right adopt slavery. and the Territories
aecosdsg TO the Compromises, should have the same
right II this is denied, then nothing has been
pshed Il will be admitted by all that it was under
stood by the whole nation that the slavery question
put 10 rest by those 1t understood that
new Territories to be admitted the footing
with Utah and New Mexco-hat is, with the right to
adopt or reject slavery, they might choose BY this
course slavery could again be brought into the halls
OF Congress. The subject far that arena is con-
csrnsd would have been put TO esthe very end which
the country desired
The views of the OF people this subject
are we'll known. No will deny tina, Gen. Pierce
was elected with full knowledge on the part Of the
voters that be for the Compromise and elected too,
by majority of twenty States 10 four Was not
this decisive enough Did not the convention which
nominated him declare tha, they for the principles
smbnced in this Nebraska law, and did he not accept
The nomination with pledge to sustain that priRcipe
II The people had been opposed TO the principle, would
,hsy not have voted against him! We hold tha, his
election was decision in favor Of the principle. and
therefore We infer that the are in favor Of the
Nssnaka bill and ,ha, the public sentiment will be out
rsgsd il should be voted down. The people right
on th subject and they will hold their representatives
rssponsbe for any departure from what may be regard
ID q their plainly recorded behesls
In this view OF il. congressional representatives
have nothing 10 fear in boldly dischsrsng their duty
The abolitonis,s and ree-soers will denounce them, OF
csurss. for when this Nebraska bill shall have become
law hsy will be deprived OF their principal material for
the nanafacurs OF mischievous and dangerous ag,a-
Hoa; and when this occurs. the faction will fall When
hsr psojsets, discussions and schemes be driven
out Of Congress- they will lose all hope of dssovng the
Uaion. and will measurably abandon their movements.
Now 10 the time 10 come up to the work, and we hope
every friend ot the compromise and every
true lover OF the Union will forward support Of
ths Nebraska bill Now is the time 10 give PRACTICAL ef-
feet 10 the leading principles which lnumpbed in the
election Of Pierce. We hope the democratic press oi
State will continue TO urge the passage OF the law
and il II sbould fail. they will have The satisfaction
Of knowing that they found battling the side OF
their country, and principles OF territorial and State
rights calculated 10 make Union perpetual. The
senssles cry that the friends OF this bill favor OF
slavery will impose upon The advocacy OF il
commits in favor Of slavery II simply leaves the
people OF Nebraska TO decide the question for themselves
II Ne were there we would vote against slavery; and il
will be found th=. II the Territory organized under
this BILL nine,enhs OF the people will against The
introduction Of the institution. Ii said that slavery
would be introduced into Utah, New MEXICO, and Cali
iorns. bu, I, not DONE The people OF those Terri
tories decided sgainst it, and will the people Of Ne
hrsska. But this has nothing 10 do with the question
We have been considering, and those who try bring Il
IN win 6nd that the people understand the value
bs given it, 1t question OF Stale and territorial
rghts OF domestic tranquility, national safety, and the
ia>aesity Of The Union In this view, believe every
denoast Of Illinois will "pui himself The record in
favor Of the Douglas bill
