THE NEBRASKA BILL TIL Z TEST TO EVERY
CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT IN MICHIGAN AND
WITH THE STATE TICKETS Too.--It is matter OF
history, now. that JOHN S. BARRY and the Par
ty which nominated aud support him are Pied
gcd to the endorsement of the Nebraska bill
and the series of Slavery Extension measures
of which that bill was tho first. Gen. CAss
upon the invitation of Barrys friends, has been
canvassing this State and has made that quos-
ton the issue. and the only issue, between the
parties in Michigan; ho is expected to pass
through the Southern tier during this or next
week, to lecture and whip in tie Democracy
upon that issue. 10 the support of NoDLE and
BARRY.
In addition to this DAVID STUART and SAM
UEL CLARK, in the lst and Sd districts have been
ren0minated to Congress, on that issue, by the
avowals of the Conventions which nominated
them and by their own persoasl avownls.
In tho 4th district. Ger. ) .vEss has been
abandoned. laid on the shelf 5.cnuse he did
not give the Nebraska bill cordial support
and GEo. w. PECK, Of Lansing. an avowed Ne.
braskaite, has been nominated in Stevens
place. At the nominating convention, STE
VEINS reiterated and confirmed his opposition
to that bill in speech to the Convention, and
PECK made a speech endorsing and approving
the Nebraska bill and against tho restoration
of the Missouri Compromise.
While this is the position of the party in ov-
cry other district and upon the State ticket, il
is in all parts of the State, Mr.. NOBLE and his
friends for him, are attempting to sustain No
BILE in the double position 10 which ho has al
ways occupied on this bill, as equally the OPP.
ponent and friend ofti To the administration
men, Noble is full blooded Nebraska; TO those
opposed to it he is rs llblooded An,i-Ne-
hraeI eI-,f ,I1so L.. a.
a partizan NOBLE is pledged to his party,
and its measures, and he no moro dare take
open opposition to the Administration on that
measure than he dare take his own life He
does avow himself an Administration man. In
doing that he connects himself to its meas
ures, quibble and dodge as he may.
All the moro influential men. who sought the
nomination OF NOBLE are out-and out Nebras
ka men. The presses will urge his election
all endorse tho Nebraska bill. Tho Monroe
Commercial the adrian Wuich I'omer, the
Hlisdaie Gazette, the CoiGmater Sentinel, the
Centreviile Croaicie, and the Niles Republican
one and all, approve the Nebraska bill as an
administration measure, Will, some of them
from political motives, disclaim it simply as a
party test, with the hope of inveiging the
masses to support the party candidates.
1t is to be supposed that under all the affir.
native circumstances which commits his party
to the bill, and which surround Mr.. NOBLE in
his district and out of it, all over the State tha,
he. as strong and bitter partizan as any OF
them, can or will prove dsorganizer in case
of his election, oppose the administration and
act with tho Friends of Freedom in tho next
Congress: Never! Mr.. NOBLE is PLEDGED
to act Dith the administration. in all his official
acts, If elected. The Sentinel was bought up
by him and tho Indian Agent, because and on
ly because. its former editor would not en-
dorse the Nebraska bill II remains to be seen
whether the Gilberts, Crippens, &c, can gull
the people as to Mr.. Ms true position. We
do not believe they can.
