THE DELTA ON NEBRASKA.
With regard to the correctness Of the principle In

abstract truth generally recognized The emily point that

that we condemn the Nebraska Bill. Its prin-
ciples are most indisputably correct, but what
good is it to do any man The Delta cannot
bsliege that slavery is ever going to enter into
these territories The same reasons which Mr..
Webster specified as for ever forbidding its I'M
PRODUCTION to New Mexico are stronger against
its introduction to Kansas and Nebraska; and
besides these natural inpediments, it must be
known to every one that the exertions of Anti
Slavery Emigrant Associations are throwing in
d hundred aboItionists to every Shareholder that
goes there, Our citizens may settle in either
OF these two States and commence improvements,
but what will become of them, their property
and improvements, when the vote comes to be
taken on the perpetnity Of slavery Both will
he lost, for Shareholders are sure to be in a
minority There certainly were q no considera-
lions Of prudence or the South would have
consented to be excluded from this barren priYi-
Iege at the beginning.
The Delta furthermore remarks concerning
one statement, that in case q resolution was in
troduced into the next Congress for the repeal
of the Nebraska bill, many Southerners would
probably consent to its passage, as follows:
