Col. Medary's Letter.

Attention is requested to the following man

known character and ability of this gentleman
this letter cannot fail to produce an impression
of salutary character. We are glad to find
that the principles of the Nebraska BILL are find
ing favor with so many of the most distinguish
ed men of the North-it is potent evidence OF
the progress of truth and sound principles ia
the Northern States. We commend this letter
to the careful perusal of our democratic friends

Democrat of the 18th Instant:
"UNITED STATES SENAToR.-Much bitter feel
Ing is being engendered between the friends of
the several candidates for United States Senator
and particularly between the friends of Col. AL

from the fact that no good to the party can posi-
bly, result from abuse and denuncitlation. We
would have wished that selection could have
been made without involving the whole party in
a general quarrel.
"Another caucus will probably be held du-
ring the latter part of this month, when we
sincerely hope a Sc ectiOn will be made which
will prove satisfactory to the great mass of the

O~S- The following is an extract from the
speech of the Hon. J. B. Weller, delivered in
the Senate on the 18th ult. The sentiment it
contains is correct-it bresthes the true spirit
OF one who loves constitutional liberty. The
entire speech should be read-it will richly repay
the time required in its perusal:
Mr. President. we ought to observe the gold.
en- rule whatsoever We would that men should
do unto you, do ye even SO TO them; for this is
the law and the prophets ANY proposition
which denies to one portion of the confederacy
an equal participation with another in our com
mon rights is dishonorable Establish as set
tied policy the doctrine for which we contend, of
confederation by the federal government, and
1t is a matter of little importance whether the
North or the South has majority Ia Congress.
Why Is it that one portion of the Union should
he denied an equal participation in the settle
ment of the Territories? Why is it that you
cannot leave this question where all other ques-
tions are left, to the free and voluntary decis-
ion of the people who may enligrate to that re-
Eion7 Has the South ever failed TO discharge
her DUTY In the hour of trial and of danger,
have they not stood by you? Sir, I have seen
many of these southern men, standing shoulder
to shoulder with northern men. upon the field of
battle l have seen them strken down by the
balls of the enemy, lying side by side, their blood
intermingIing and moistening the earth on
which they Tell. Iney raised themselves up as
the lamp of life was about to be extingui shed,
and saw their comrades rushing on and on; they
saw their glorious flag, the emblem of our COM
mon Union, planted upon the walls of the ens-
my, and they fell back and expired, with smile
of Joy upon their lips--a smile of joy because
that flag. around which all the warmest affec-
tions of their hearts had been gathered, proudly
waved in triumph. And why is it that those
men who have aided US in the acquisition of the
teFritorv those men who have contributed their
money and their blood, shall be refused an equal
participation in the benefits resulting from il
s. Mr.. President, ] know not what may be the
feelings Of others, but only desire that that
portion of the Union from whence come should
be allowed to participate in the common bene-
fits OF this government. We ask no exclusive
privileges, and we are unwilling to discriminate
between the different sections of the Union.
we are willing to extend to others that justice
which we demand for ourselves"
