Nebraska Interesting Letter Of Col. Clemens
to John Van BuYe~s

A very interesting letter from Mr.. Clemens
OF Alabama, to John Van Buren, on the Nebraska
question, will be found in another part Of this
paper.
Mr. Clemens takes high ground against the
Nebraska bill of Judge Douglas, and like John
Van Buren,, is in favor of letting the compro-
misses Of 1850 stand just where they are. Mr..
Clemens is also understood to be member of
the Kitchen Cabinet at Washington; and
in this view his opinions have great
weight. as indicating the real position
of the administration on this important subject.
He gives o fair warning to Douglas that II he
expects to make any considerable amount OF
Presidential capital out of this Nebraska en-
terprise, he will find himself very much mista-
ken Possibly this may turn out true predlc-
ton. But STILL the doctrine of resting the ques-
ton of slavery in the Territories with the peo-
pie themselves, rests upon the fundamental law
of the constitution, and is the only plan Tor
final settlement OF this sectional strife coacern-
ing slavery in the Territories.
Mr. Clemens further predicts that the passage
of this Senate bill will reopen the fiood-gates
of the abolition agitation, and that the ground
swell will sweep away every vestige of the
measures of 1850 Well, we shall see Per-
haps the cry for repeating the repeal will be
raised notice has already been given to that
effect by the leading organ Of w. FL. Seward.
Perhaps combined onslaught will be made
upon the Fugitive Slave law, as no longer having
the binding obligations Of q finality perhaps
some atten pit may be made to repeal even the
bin which provides for the partition Of Texas
| into three or four slave States /; but all these
| contingencies may be risked in falling back
| upon the constitution.
The debate in the Senate is becoming highly
| interesting; Mr.. Everett, in foreshadowing
his opposition to the proposed repeal, coupled
with leading article of the National Intelli
| gencer. shows, no doubt, the position Of the
| Webster and Fillmore branch of the whie
| party. NGeneral Houston, Of Texas, has also
intimated his hostility to the bill of Douglas
] a movement which has a peculiar Presidential
| signifcancy. NBut the letter of Mr. Clemens il
the most important development of all, as mos
| probably showing the real attitude, behind the
scenes, of the Cabinet upon this Nebraska ques
| tion.
| The Senate are resolved to have the bill
with the least possible delay; but let the friends
OF the measure look to their defences when tbi
bill comes before the House The confidentia
| relations of John Van Buren, and the New Yorl
| free sellers with the Cabinet and of Mr.
| Clemens, with the President on his right hant
and John Van Buren, on his left, present Gu
rious utilization of politicians. Let the Soutl
look well to Mr.. Dean, the fugleman of tn
Cabinet and the Van Buren, party of New Yorl
in the House. This letter of Mr.. Clemens may
be at the bottom of a conspiracy to throw Doug
las sky-high, by defeating his bill.

TRUTH OF THE MATTER.-A paragraph has been
going the rounds of the newspapers, to the ef.
feet that Dr.. j. G. Fitch principal of the Semi
nary at South Windham. Connecticut, had 90
cruelty whipped q lad of some seventeen years
of age as to bring on an internal hemorrhape.
from the effects of which it was feared the youth
would not survive. Having given currency to
this accusation through our columns, we are
gratifed to say that upon an investigation by
the trustees, the teacher has been honorably
acquitted. The Jogging. it appears was COM
paratively light and from Tuesday, when it
was administered, to Saturday, the lad con-
tinued his attendance at school; but on Satur--
day, while skating, he fell upon the ice, and, ac-
cording to the report Of the trustees, twas Ia
ken all at once with bad breathing and splitting
of blood, and said he felt something give way
in his chest when he fell" We understand he
has since died: but as the accusers OF the teach
:. -rare prcnc-4 at and participated in the IN
vestigation, and as no report has appeared in
validating that of the trustees, we have no
doubt of its truth.
Mr.. PEAsE AND HIS MIssIoN-MoRE DoNA-
TIoNs- The following note received at this Office
yesterday morning, we commend to the special
attention of Mr.. Pease:-
