VALUE OF TIE NEBRASKA BILL TO
THE SOUTH.


The New York journal Of Commerce is
friendly to the repeal of the Missouri Comprom-
Use and so sits Democatic Washington, Cores
pondent. In letter from Washington, dated
February "a, that correspondent writes as fol-
lows:
Were not the southern men rather more for
bearing thantheiropponents,th sy would hardlyIbe
content with bill that neither carries 0ut tier
cic,cs Of the Constitution, nor gire'y hea sight,
est chance for an equal participation in the
raIuable and ertensire region noe about to be
MrOra open to all the asorld.
They waive the enforcement of the doctrine
thrice established by the Supreme Court, that
the Constitution applies to the territories and
protects slave property in them. They con-
cede to the inhabitants of the Territory, the
power to exclude slavery from the same, though
thew have no such right under the Constitution,
providing merely, that the question or right
shall be submitted to the Supreme Court for
decision. The South gets nothing at all by the
measure, except merely the prospect of peace
hereafter through the establishment of the Sec
ond precedent, of non-inter vention on the slave
ry question. She may not even obtain this
small benefit, for the bill should pass, it will
only append a pretext for continued slavery
agitation at the North. The agitatnrs here re-
ioice in the prospect before them. Upon the
North let the responsibility rest, of the event of
the contest. But there is reason to believe
that the Northern Democracy, aiding the South,
will contriye to prevent any overt action against
the Union, for some't time to come.
In a letter dated the 18th of February the
same wrteruses the following language:
The speech Of M. Hunter has brought the
measure dozen to grade of non importance,
so lo,o that one mast lcoHder at tie tcdste Of
time IN regard to Il, at the unanimity Of the
Senate IN its support, and at The feeling ,chich
on all sides has been manifested IN regard to
it, Mr. Hunter gives up all the points which
are of are real Importance to the South. de
proved that the ordinance of 1881 is superse-
ded bv the Constitution and State organization;
that the Constitution the U. States protecting
slavery, extend itself, proprio rig0re over the
territory Of the United States; that the persons
accidentally first to inhabit territory, have no
right, by territorial legislation, to prohibit slave
ry, and that Congress having no right to do IN
directly what it would not do directly; have no
right to bride free laborers to go into the terri
torial and preOccupy them, to the exclusion of
the Southern people. Mr. Hunter made and
sustained all these points, and yet yielded every
one Of them. What then, is the use of the bill?

Uaalteyuble Bank Bls-Since we publish
ed the advertisement offering reward of $500
for an invention to render bank bills unaltera-
bic, have receiveda great number of com
munieations on the subject, one suggesting this,
and another that plan, to prevent bill of a
lower from being altered to one of higher de-
nomination.
One gentleman, N. Young, of Lancaster,
Ohio, recommends that all the banks in our
country should issue gagged, bills, that is to
have every bill of certain value measure so
many inches long and so many broad SO as
to have two opponents ofthe value of bills-one,
the figures, the other, their size. This is a
good idea, for if two dollar bill was made OF
size of by inches, and a twenty dollar
bill of size of 5! by 81 inches, the former could
not be altered to the size of the latter-from
the lower to the higher denomiRation.-L[ Scien-

IT seems to me that all times are alike adapt
ed for happiness, and that if we grow DID, as one
should grow old, the last days of life must be
the happiest of all. Every stage of life is but
the preparation forthe next one. It's the treas
ure.house in which are collected all the pleas
ures that are to make the future time happy.
The child has indeed but few troubles, but they
are as great to him as larger ones prove to his
parents. asked a friend once, speaking of
the happy cloudless days of his childhood, if he
would like to be always child? He stopped
for moment, and then said No. | think ne
was right. There is progress in everything
in our means of happiness, and in our capacity
for enjoyment Then let US not look back upon
the time-wrinkled face of the past only with
feelings of regret. Give me the present, glow
ing and full Of life, and the future glorious with
visions. l would rather look forward than
look back; rather spend the golden hours in
working out present happiness than in vain re-
grets for the past. 1t is but the helm with
which to steer our onward course. The future
lies before US. 1t is the steep and rugged
mountain up which lies our way. 1t is not
genius nor fortune that paves the way to emf
nence, bnt earnestness, sefcontrol, wisdom
These are in our hands; let US use them, and
when at the sunset of life we turn to look back
on our path, and see it stretching far down be-
fore us peacefully, happily, we may lay ourselves
down to rest.
