Con made Nebraska free territory
IL is not an advocate Of American slave
ry. The action Of Deity was recognized
and affirmed BY the American Congress
Of l620; and the joint decree OF the Gre
ator and Uncle Sam are in force to this
day. Senator Douglas is not satisfied
with this happy state Of affairs. but would
defy heaven and outrage man to pollute
that virgin soil with the unlnitigated curse
Of ..aman bondage. We have in vain
searched for some Justification OF this oct
Of unparalleled servility to the south but
no reaso, is found Of sufficient force to ex-
cuse a representative of free state inl
trampling under his feet the wise ar
rangemehts Of long time past, and the
hopes ana wishes OF a constituency that
loves freedom, as much as he seems to
despise aAd condemn it. II is said that
our Senator is looking to the Presidency.
and that his Nebraska bill is bid for
southern Votes. Ii so--and We have no
| reason to loubt it-at the outcome, the
honorable gentleman will find himself in
the condition of a certian Frenchman in
England. The story rus thus:
Johnny Crapeau was in London, and
utterly unaoquainted with the language
of the country. On the morning after
his arrival, he bethought himself, howsv
er, to copy on card from board on the
corner Of , street, wha, he supposed was
the name d the street and the number Of
the house. After travelling all day in
quest of liens, towards night he threw
hlnself into a cab and endavored, card
In hand, to tell the driver where he wish
ed to go. Failing to make himself un-
derstood, he handed the card to the cab
man, who I'D sooner read it than he burst
into loud laugh. Johnny was indig-
nant-stormed and swore as only a
Frenchman can; and the more he raved
the louder the cabman gufawed. This
unusual scene attracted the attention Of
the passers by who stopped to enquire the
cause of---on one side--such unseeInly
merriment, and ON the other-,snca inn
potent rage. Reading the card in the
hands Of the driver, they passed on, each
man holding his sides, to prevent the ex-
pIosion OF uncomfortable mir,h. A police
officer appeared, to whom our hero ap-
pealed; but he like the by-standers soon
went of in a cachina,ory fit. The French
man was in dispair. At length a gen
tleman who spoke the language of the
Gaul, inquired, in passing, the cause oi
the uproar. Johnny Crapeau glibly cx-
planned, aud pointed triamphantly to his
card as proper indication of his wishes
The new found friend, like the driver
the crowd and the policeman, was unable
to conceal his nlrth, but let off peal ai,el
peal Of hearty laughter. Speaking tt
the Frenchnan in his own tongue, tn.
bothered foreigner joined in the mcrri
ment with the rest. On the card wa:
written:--
COMMIT NO NUISANCE HERE"
To our apprehension, the senator from
Illinois has got the wrong direction. Witt
that "card,' he will never, so long as tn,
nation is Of its present mind, reach tn,
summit of its hopes. He might hav,
, been forgiven the support Of Nebrask,
bill like his own; but its origination witt
hun, at the time when no necessity 70
such bill exists, is an offense to tn,
;; Christian sense Of the age, and to tn
). spirit Of the party which he aspires |,
