Labaska, March 10, 1S54.-Bucks county,
though for long time under . kind OF mes
meric sleep, is beginning to awake at last to q
sense of her interest and duty. We had on last
Saturday spirited meeting in Pineville Hall,
upon the Nebraska bill. Several speeches were
made, and long string Of resolutions passed,
condemning in the strongest terms any inter
ference, either directly or indirectly, with the
Missouri prohibition.
The greatest enthusiasm was manifested, and
the utmost harmony prevailed throughout, al
though the meeting was composed OF Demo
Gratis, Wings, Free Democrats and Garriso-
ans remonstrance was circulated, and
about nine out Of ten in the community signed
without hesitation. have met with but sin
gle individual who undertook to Justify the
measure he soon missed fire, and vanished.
The Nebraska bill is the general topic Of
conversation everywhere and the people are
becoming intensely excited, notwithstanding
old Bucks has heretofore been the worry seat OF
Hunkerdom. We have three English papers
published at Doylestown, two Democratic and
one Wing The organ is mum, not daring to
utter a sentiment either pro or CON The Wing
is not much better, although it did publish
Mr.. Stewards speech.
The Spy an Independent Democratic paper,
is out in thunder tones against the bill. Alarge
portion Of the population are Of German ex-
tract.

the event Of the passage by the House Of the
Nebraska bill, the great battle Of Freedom is
to be fought over again, and the great and
paramount issue PRESENTED to the American
people will be, Liberty vcrsus Slavery; and in
such an event, the issue cannot long be doubt
full. The term Liberty conprehecds all that
is valuable in the American Union. Much as
We value the Union, we say, If tho indefinite
extension and perpetuation of AmericanSlavcry
is to be the only condition Of its continuance,
VIZ care not how soon it is dissolved. Union
for such purposes is not worth having The
South have long threatened dissolution Of
the Union. IL il now timo for the North to
make the proposition. Let the line Of dcmar-
cation be drawn between the advocates Of
Liberty and Slavery, and let the Janus-iaced
minions Of oppression be forced to take sides,
that we may know who are friends and who
are foes.
PAGES Posi- Office Barren Co., Ky, March
90, 1854 perceive by the last Era, that
the Nebraska bill has passed the Senate The
object is to nationalize Slavery; eriend IL South
ioesf, and infuse it into tho n0minaiiy free
States
If the free labo,crs, North and South, do
not rise in their might, and crush out suoh
cncroachments upon their best interests, both
civil and moral, they are fit only for slaves.
My heart sickens when contemplate the con-
sequences Of such attempts to overthrow Free !.
dom in our land. God will punish this nation
in his own way, for Flo has highly favored us
and we have sinned greatly, and rebel and
trample on His mercies more and moro. Per
haps the South are pursuing n course which
will prove it's own destruction; ii looks qhie
probable.
Jacksonville, Illinois, March Is Is5i.--Er-
closed ! send you short article from ono
OF our papers, which think reflects the senti-
monts Of q large majority Of the people Of this
region; They are in favor Of establishing
New Pdrfy--a party Of oil such as may be op-
posed to the repeal of the Missouri Compro-
mise, and, il repealed by tho present Congress
its re-eaablishment by the next But in order
10 success, this matter must be started at head
quarters-at Washington City. Cannot an or
ganization OF this kind be effected r. not, the
Old Line Democracy will triumph. II tho
Wigs have no more sense than to organize
again as Wing Party, they ought TO be boat
and they certainly will II tho WAigs will or
ganize again as Wing Party and under this
name enter the political contest, the result will
be, that the Anti-Siapery Democrats, who
would 20 into a new party from hatred to the
name Of Whig, win fall back again into tho
Democratic ranks, pleading that the Democra-
cy are as dnt- Slavery as the Wings. More
over, the name Wing will mover take with the
foreign population; and this simple fact will
always keep the Wing party in the minority.
Why is it that the Van Buren, Democrats and
Seward Wings stay apart in New York, and
throughout the country II the Anti-Slavory
Wings, Democrats, and Free Democrats, would
unite they could carry every FREQ State in the
IInso~. Nhu oaurnf fbiu ho dora7 MA
