washington UuiOn and Nebraska Bill
New Party.

"li the principles of this bill ended with
Nebraska and Kahsas--if they did not mean to
apply to all future acquisitions-if they did
not rally men Of all sections of the Union and
prepare Northern sentiment for those great fu-
ture terms--we might more fully understand
the hesiteucy and doubt of some Of our South
ern frieuds, if such doubt and hesitency really
exists. When Cuba is admitted into the Union
as in the course Of thick coming events she is
bound to be admitted, and when the South
turns to the great constitutional party OF the
Ncrth, already committed to that great act, for
aid and counsel, let us not be compelled to find
the seats in Congress, now occupied by staunch
friends of the rights Of the States, filed by
Abolitionists and Northern wings, elected to
National Legislature by the refusal Of the
South in the present issue to recognize great
principle upon which in all time, the friends Of
the Union might stand and defy the worst COM
binations Of Northern fanaticism- Union.
The Union is the party organ, and one OBJ
servable thing is noticeable in the new combi-
nations of the slave power They call their
party the CONSTITUTIONAL PARTY"
They are naturally dropping the tiIle Of Dem

cOnyrntiOn to the people of this State for heir
consideration prior to its adoption, the DO'dd b
great lights of Democracy of this county,
preached from the stump, upon the highways,

doctrine of retrenchment in lhe government

place upon the adoption Of the New COnstitu-

averring that Letters of administration ypuldd
be granted upon dead mans estate for about
the sum of thirty seven and one half cents ?
And that the total fees of Probate Judge wo'd
not IN small estates exceed seventy.fve cents ?
That the salaries of Common Pleas Judges and
others would be lowered. That the State eE-
penses would all be curtAied, and the people
no longer, burthened with onerous and griev-
Gus taxes +! All Of these promises you must
certainly recollect, hs being made blythe friends
of the new constitution, prior to It's adoption,
and made too. for the purpose Of inducing you
to cast your votes in favor Of its becoming the

can people knew full well that there was no sale

guilty of only one half ot what his own country
men accuse him, the people were right III what
they did. [Applause in the galleries.1

cuse these people OF having done wrong, he would
have 10 examine whether Bedini was guilty or not
of what his coumtrymen charged him. he well
knew that no act could justify. violence, but II
was useless to attempt to put down The people III
