Cornered.

We have taken occasion before this notice the way
certain Democratic Journs have pm. their foot into It
the amendment to the Nebraska BILL first proposed by
Mr. Dixon Wing United States Senator from Kentucky.
The Washington Union, and sundy Of its echo organs in
this State not the only Journals which rather
fast, in denouncng Mr.. DSon's amendment. The Louis
vile Times. pitched into Il in a ferocious manner,
and finds itself completely cornercd. In letter
from Mr.. Dixon, to the Editor of the Times, this
subject find the following quotation from that paper
Of the e5th ult:
Ii that the bill s to with opposition in
Congress. outside Of the ranks Of the cesocrs and abo
tioniss Mr.. Dixon Of kentucky has Joined hands with
Mr. Sumner, Of Massachusetts, ofhc peslenI abo
ton agators in tie whole Union, in opposition TO Ter
rcra bill embodyng the spirit Of the compromise taxi
ng the discussion Of slavery Of Congress and leaving
the question of slavery to be decided by the people of the
Territory. Nothing better could he expected from Mr..
Sumner for he Is avowed agitaor but regard
tho position assumed by Mr. Dixon in other light than
determination to disregard the known will Of his cons
uens Agitation will unqucstionaby blight the fruits of
the compromise. For the unmanly purpose Of embarras
ing the national administration Mr. Dixon is willing again
to raise that whirlwind Of sectonasm which had well
uigh swept away institutions Will this satisfy
the whig party Of Kentucky? Will tho Wing press of
the State he silent spccta'orss The successor
Of Mr. Clay Ia assaung tho nohst achievement of his
eis attempting to the mses;ic proportions of the
proudest monument OF his greatness. Speak out, gen
temcn editors and lash Mr. Dixon into proper respect
for the sentiment, Of the party that elected him."
Tho above written when Senator Douglass hill
proposed, only repeal the slavery prohibition of the
Missouri Compromise Nebraska at the time it be-
comes State. 1t so happens readers
thut the very identical provision in substance proposed
by Mr. Dixon has been subsequently incorporated into
the Douglas Nebraska bill, aud Southern Democratic
Journals pronounce that to be chief merit
of the bill What viii the Democratic Editor
of this Kentucky paper have to say now Does he
still regard the position of Mr. Dixon in no other light
than determination TO disregard the known viii Of his
constituents, ''and does he wish Mr.. Dixon lashei
into proper respect for the sentiments of the party
that elevated hu;" II this amendment has been
endorsed by the Administration Southern Democratic
organs tell is the case it tina, the Louisville
Editor is the wrong side stand By the Aimins;ra
ton. lie will have to face about Gu. loose from Mr.
Douglas bill Mr. Dixon las him in tight place.
