Burlington, May 23d, 1854.

A CLEAR TRAcK.-Not q whig-not
solitary man of the wings in the House
from the Northern States voted for he Ne
braska bill.
Thus truly says the n. Y. Herald, and
so untrue to humanity, untrue to hoIfuerd
constituency, untrue to freedom, as to vote
for the violation Of the Missouri Comprom-
ise, compact made and endorsed by Jeffer-
son, Madison, Monroe, Clay, Webster and
other patriots whom we delight to honor.
Not a whlg from the north could be found to
vote with perjured administration, or sup
port even by silence those who conceived,
and by the force of public plundsr, achieved
the gross outrage which d nation OF free
men only await an opportunity to repuiate
and repeal. In the action Of the whig rep
resentatives in Congress, we find, however,
that they have but carried out the wishes
and the expressed sentiments of two thirds
of the so-called democratic party Of the
North, in relation to the Nebraska BILL
They have truly represented the people,
unitedly stood forth to resist the enactment
of measure which has been over and over
again repudiated by the mass of all parties
in the free States, and therefore are they
entitled to all honor, all praise, and the
highest positions in the public regard.
We rejoice that We belong to that band
among which not one traitor, not one Judas,
nor one Arnold, could be found to betray
the rights of humanity, or sell himself 70
the commission Of national crime-that
not one OF the whole party at the North
sides with demagogues and worships at the
shrine of Slavery.
All honor then to tie band Of Patriots
who opposed the Nebraska iniquity, and 70
the united WIG Chicago Jour-

Fugitive Slave Excitement.

The turmoil in relation to the fugiyc slave
Burns continues at the East Such mental
aliment is rare and in these excrutiatingly
dull times is seized upon with ayidity b
the cxcitcmentmongers cf the Eastern
press. Well, wen have funeral Of that
kind OF our own one Of these days, 50 soon
as things are established over in Nebraska
the peculiar institution is introduced there
and the underground railroad completed
across the State Of Iowa.
Our exchanges state that strenuous
and systematic effort is being made at Wash
ington and Alexandra in regard to Senator
Sumner, and that he has several times been
warned of personal danger. The people OF
those goodly cities will consult their inter
est by letting the Senator alone. Personal
harm to him, in the present state Of excite
ment, would arouse such Indignation at the
North as would sever every tie that binds it
to the South.
