From the very outset it was evident that the
President and his Cabinet were ready TO form
any alliance with any desperate faction, VINO
would, in return, sustain the powers that De.
When the fall elections came on, honorable
men Of all parties were assounded ut the I'M
blushing interference of the Administration
with the rights of the STATES in their local
elections 1t was not Judge Bronson, Edmund
Burke, and that class Of Democrats alone, but
honorable, high minded men, all over the free
Statesmen who care nothing for office--that
burned with indignation when they read the
crushing edicts issued from Washington by
Massachusetts FsdeyaliS, demanding, in the
name Of the President, that every Democrat
who should dare to think for himsolf should
DO thrust out of the party.
But the entire perfdy Of the Picrcc and
Cushing dynasty was not comprehended until
it sent forth its sanction to the Nebraska out
rage This violation Of solemn compact,
and bold attempt to exclude the free emigrantr
from the Northern States from An equal parti-
cipation in the territories of the great Wost,
has aroused the attention of every man, and
however strongly one may be attached to his
party, and governed by party names, he cannot
but think, aud if there be any manhood left in
him, he will before the next election, act. AL
ready have the people begun to act. Not an
election has occurred since the development Of
the Nebraska plot, in January, which has not
vindicated our cause, and carried terror to the
hearts Of the traitors ut Washington.

Interpretation Of God in favor Of the Russians,
took to general fight. The Russians did not
see this appsrition--it WAS foreigners and our
enemies who bore witness TO it," The writer
concludes his account by saying that "it is TO
be desired that all tho public gazettes OF Russia
should spread abroad to orthodox nations the
joyful news Of the divine interposition of the
Empress Of Heaven, at the commencement Of
war undertaken for the Christian faith"
We know that Senator Douglas has great
respect for the distinguished authorities we
have referred to, as was evinced by his late
pilgrimage to Rome and 81. Petcrsbnrgh; and
we are quite sure that he can entertain no
sernplc in the matter OF taking hint from
their example. what Cato did, and Addi-
son approved, cannot be wrong,P as Eustace
Badgoll said, when he dropped into the Thames
with . twenty. pound weight in each pocket.
Ii ocours to us that the Senator's friend, the
honorable and reverend Mr.. Johnson" ex-
missionary Of tho Methodist Episcopal Church
South, and Delegate from Nebraska, might aid
him in his present emergency. Might not the
reverend gentleman reoollect and certify to the
fact, that while bis Senatorial friend WAS de
fuing with 80 much pious JUNCTION the duties
Of the clergy on late occasion, he, casting
his eyes upward to the great dome Of the Hail.
in state of ecstatic satisfaction, was favored
with vision Of the Apostle Of the Gentiles,
carrying into execution the old Roman Fugi-
tive Slave Law, and tying Onesimus hand and
foot, to give him over to his master, Philemon
We leave our suggestion with the honorable
Senator and his clerical friend for what il is
worth. II is worry probable that they may be
able to devise still moro appropriate and
striking manifestation.
We are by no means sure that an expedient
of this kind would save the Bill. But it has
distinguished precedents to recommend il, and,
AS last resort, it might not DO amiss to make
trial Of it. J. G. w.

the West and the North as much as 1t does
now, and the selfinterest Of the Planters would
prevent them from imposing onerous duties
90 importation--for the burden after all
would fall upon themselves. Look at the trade
Of tho free States with Canada. Great Brit
ain is their rival--of course its commerce with
its colonies is exempt from any burden, while
ours is subjected to considerable duty; and
yet, despite this discrimination, our commerce
with them is two-thirds as large as that Of tho
mother country, and we send to them twice
the quantity we receive from them.
Natural canscs connected with the coast
and fisheries Of the North, the climate and soli
Of New England, the great lakes and rivers OF
the West and Northwest, and the system OF FREQ
labor, have made tho free States, agricnltn-
raj, manufacturing, and commercial, as they
always will be; while tho South, with such
climate and SOIL and such system Of labor as
il possesses, cannot expect to be to any consid-
cradle extent q commercial or manufacturing
power. Undoubtedly, whatever natural ad-
vantages it may have, SO long "a it maintains
the system Of slave labor, it will BIO prc-emi-
nently planting and an exporting country, in
the Union or out Of it-so that in either sitna-
ton, il will continue to furnish material for
the looms, employment for the shipping, and q
market for the products Of the diversified in
dnstry Of the free States
A dissolution of the political Union might
modify, but not essentially change, the com-
mercial relations Of the two sections-unless
that dissolution should involve OWL war;
which would probably end in the overthrow Of
the social system Of one section, and important
changes in tho polical institutions If both.

ed on tho following letter from tho Texas SEN
asor, in reply to an invitation from u we'll

WASHINGTON, March 9, 1854.
MY DEAR SIR: | thank your for your kind
favor, but find it out Of my power to comply
with your request, and that of other friends.
In few days hope to be on my way home,
to see my family. Recently learn that Mrs.
Houston's health is quite feeble. Every hour
of my time, until | can depart will necessarily
be employed in business to enable me to get
of. And, moreover, were to visit New York
at this time, it might be thought and with
some plausibility Of appearance, that had
gone there to receive or accept commentator,
as my course seems to have met the approba-
ton OF many persons in the North.
Now, feel that oil have done has been for
the South, quite as much as the North, and |
trust for the whole country; because twas in
tended to cherish the feeling Of compromise,
and maintain the good faith Of the nation in
violate. What have done, have done. My
actions are subject to the scrutiny of the pres
ent and i will await with quiet indifference
the verdict of the future. The commcndation
Of my friends is gratifying to me, but the as
saults and taunts of my enemies cannot dir
turb the repose Of my spirit The desire OF
my friends to see INC in New York must graft
fy me, but cannot go; and ought not, if |
could Truly your friend,

To tks Editor Of the National Era.
Oar late city election resulted in the election
of Nathan Gailford and g. f. Hanselman,
Magistrates; Caspar Geist, City Commissioner;
and VIM Crossman, Director of City lnfirmary,
by majorities Of from 500 to 1000 over the reg
ular Democratic nominees. Last fall, the
Democratic majority in the city was over
whelming. At the spring election in Cleye-
land, the Democratic party also are defeated
They have had tho majority in that city tor
several years. In Columbus, the Democrats
had q large majority last fall. This spring,
the majority against them is between 200 and
800 Columbus is in DIR. Olds's district, who,
you will remember, was one Of the three from
Ohio who voted with the Nebraska men against

meeting of 500 Germans has been held there
recently, protesting against the bill, and call
ing upon Dr. Odds to vote against the bill, OF
that he will lose their votes in the future.
We have had in this city four Anti Nebras-
ka meetings, two by German citizens, one by
Democrats, and one by citizens Of all parties
Last Thursday evening for the first, we had
demonstration by Democrats in favor of the
Nebraska bill. After great efforts by our post
master and other Government officials, they
succeeded in getting not quite three hundred
names to the call, while there were Thousand
names to the Democratic Nebraska call.
They held their meeting in the market space,
to attract all who passed by; they got up
display of fireworks and music to draw a
crowd. But, after all their efforts, they only
succeeded in raising crowd of some six or
seven hundred men and boys. Their meeting
was entirely destitute Of enthusiasm, and when
votes were taken the nays were about asstrong
as the yeas. While this meeting was being
held, the Germans held in another part Of the
city large and enthusiastic meeting against
the Nebraska bill Several thousand were
present, and they were ably addressed in the
German language by Charles Reemelin.
They passed q resolution, seconding the call
of the Paulding Democracy, for o State Con-
vention to nominate candidates in opposition to
the regular Democratic nominations. They
named the lst of June as the time for the C,n-
