this is the introduction in the Senate OF AR DAM.

The bill provides for the application OF the prinejOI.

there is no good reason why those OF Nebraska and K
should not have the privilege. This disposition
matter is also in accordance both with Democrat r
plies and the compromise measures, which deny hC,,

Of all parties have had enough Of slavery asstv
They have seen lis dangers it's bad elects upon N
peace OF society its utter barrenness OF good, and
fruittnlness OF evil and they have resolved
regard and abide by the compromise measures,
letter and spirit, final settlement OF the aud
tion But I, seems that demagogues do not dss,'
OF overcoming this popular repugnance 10 the ren
al of slavery agitation. They see a favorable opq
tunity for the revival OF old preludces. the opening
wounds, the renewal of old controversies and ,hey
preparing to improve it, The whig and abolition pap
and barroom politicians are uniting in this effort as cod
daily they did in 1885, and we already hear The sams
old stereolyped cant the subject But we DO moi be-
lieve that they make much progress in this work d
the renewal Of the slavery agitation We do not besv,
that the people of New Hampshire can be misled at

controversies. and will not lend themselves to the sa
schemes oil trading politicians. who seek to get up ano
abolition mania in the hope OF thereby getting into oil
hce. These denagogues the sole gamers by suel
controversies, and they benefited at the expea.s ar
to the injury Of the people Of the country
This is the last chance for these agilators Thss
Territories embrace all the unorgsnized territory oia,
United States, and these see that now s the msor
them to s,rike their last blow with this question Il
desperate game, and they have evidently resolved b
play boldly They SEQ that they have nothing os
for if they fail they will be no worse of than they
now. Both the whig and abolition factions literally
dying out; they evidently upon their last legs and
jus. in situation where the mos, desperate expensun
can be safely resorted to. In other crcumstan.i
would they attempt TO overthrow the Compromise d
1852, after the people had given il their decided
and emphatic approval But il they could succeed ID
this. and thus open the whole question for renewedy
tation and excitement, they probably think that they
could literally ride upon the whirlwind and drett The
storm 10 their advantage and promotion. Bu. hi
they canno, do We do not believe the people Of an
country prepared 10 enter upon another EXPERIMENT.
this kind On the contrary, We believe they will sci lhs
faces sterny opPosilioa 10 every scheme for the re
newal OF the agitation Of this question They will s',Dt
by the Compromise OF 1850, and those who attempt d
disturb overthrow il will meet with stern rebuke ,
their hands.
