FROM THE BUFFALO COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER.
We earnestly and to the best Of ability opposed
the Nebraska measure long opposition was OF any
avail but that has passed do not feel disposed
nor called upon by y Of duty to enter upon cru
SADIE against the South engage in violent decamatory
agitation Of the subject No possible practical good that
we can see will come of SO doing while would tend to the
injury Of other important interests that require attention
Whenever Kansas Nebraska shall be settled they
settled by free Poor men, those whose chief wealth
consists in stout hearts, strong hands, and children
are the people to settle countries. They are the
class that will fill up Kansas and Nebraska. They will
20 there by thousands while the of Southern
plantation encountered by his negroes is medatng the
subject. Muttudinous railroads pointing ththerward
from the free Northern States rapidly approaching
completion and will be daily burdened by thousands
Of hardy emgants poor but Free and animated by hope
and courage. We would reprobate earnestly as any
one the wicked that prompted the contrvers Of
this Nebraska scheme and the violation of good faith in
voved in its consummation but we hope to do SO sus
tanned by and argument and not by violent invectve

FROM THE PHILADELPHIA LEDGER.
"Boston has been dsgraced again by another mob, in
violent resistance the execution Of the laws The lit
tie knot of ncendiares in that city who abuse the right
Of free speech by preaching rebellion against legal rule
have established their character phanhropists and
christians by creating civil instruction and numbering
an officer in the discharge of his sworn duties.
Such audac tn suhy the authority
Of the law, is easy to perceive would, if successful
lead civil war; anarchy and all the attendant horrors
Of intestine commoton, such see Mexico and other
Southern countries, republics only in name continually
conlsed with Whatever cause may exist for riot and
revolution in countries where the principle Of sovereignty
is less universal than in this violence be the
rghtful remedy here where the laws through the peo
pies representatives, of the peoples own making
and those who them of the peoples choos
ing The only legal means Of getting rid OF any statute
obnoxious to minority is to agitae its repeal until the
justice of change is generally recognised and those who
constitute the minority by accession to their numbers
become majority Until this change is effected the few
must submit to the decision of the many, republican
government cannot exist 1t would be nothing but a
rope Of sand which any dissatisfied persons might at any
moment pull to pieces The Government of the United
States is not Government of any particular section Of
the Union it is Government established, under const
tuona guarantees of the Tho peoples and as long as it
subserves the good Of the greatest number it uds the
end for which it created Those who live under the
protection Of its laws have either obey them leave
the country for where they have larger license
II they undertake to resist the Government in the lawful
exercise Of the authority delegated to it. they deserve to
be considered and should receive the punishment of trail
tors to constitutional liberty"
FROM THE BOSTON COURIER or TUESDAY.
Whatever mems opinions may be upon the general sub
ec of slavery, the particular subject Of the repeal of
the Missouri compromise act there is one point upon
which all good citizens bound to unite namely that
there shall not be riots and murders in this city at the
pleasure Of the Aboitions demagogues. This is the
real shape Of the matter which engages the public
attention; and we trust that honest sober-minded
man win allow himself to be misled from the true point
at issue by infammatory declarations the subject Of
the unfortunate Nebraska BILL The Nebraska wrong,
it fully accomplished at this moment does not
absolve from allegiance to the Constitution and
the Laws; and above ALL it does not confer upon any
any body of license to set the authority Of
Government at defiance and indulge in riot and blood
she'd Every friend to the peace, good reputation, and
prosperity Of this city interested in the maintenance Of
public order and the execution Of the laws Every hon
est must feel the obligation and the necessity Of
putting down instantly all attempts to resist public
thority One question overrides all others-shal
the laws rule us, or shall mobs rule us?
