Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1854-02-11
ANOTHER POINT OF VIEW.

The New York Evening Post, Albany Atlas,
and other papers, very justly present the Nebraska
plot fraud, designed to cover fraud. II pro-
iesses to leave the establishment or rejection Of
slavery to what has been not appropriately call
ed, the "sqUatier souerejGnty." That is, the men
who shall first rush into the territory after the
passage Of tho Jill, shall determine tho question
of the existence existence Of slavery in that
vast territory. Of no reasonable effort
would be left untried to secure a controlling num-
Der of Shareholders or their tools among these
squatting sovcrcisns. True they might in this bo
disappointed, rs they were in the of Califor-
MIA. But the proximity Of Missouri and Arkansas
would render this improbable.
But this is oaly profession. The bill does no
such thing ac'Valiy establishes Slar;,y te,yi-
toy ,cere congress has exercised its pO'rer to
abolish H. 1t does not leave the question to tho
decision of the inhabitants. And the true nsme
Of the bill is, not one for The establishment Of q
government fer Nebraska, nor even one for the
repeal of the Missouri Compromise, bat a bill

Slavery existed in Louisiana, regulated and sane
toned Wy French law, at the time of its purchase
That law was unrepealed by Congress, in those
portions Of the territory out Of which Louisiana
and Arkansas were formed, and they came Into
the Union slavoholding states. Excepting the
state of Missouri Congress abolished it in all that
part north of S6' 30|, abolished it .Jorerr. Abol>

James Monroe, John G. Calhoun, William A..
Crawford, William Writ, John Seargent, Rufus
King, and host of others, North and South, being
Judges. .f
Douglass measure repeOls that law of Congress,
and places the territory just where Louisiana was
when she asked for admission to the Union, max
ing it slaveholding territory. Let this bill be
passed, and the Shareholders will forget their plea
for the right Of self government, with which they
now meanly attempt to cover up their crime, and
will very distinctly remember the arguments used
against them in the case Of Utah and New Mexico,
viz. that they were free by virtue Of prior Mexican
law, and that Slavery could not exist except by
special legislation So would they pretend, in re,
gard to slavery in this territory. They would at
once, before the Squntters had acted or oven
squdtted, legaze by this bill, the slaveholding of
the Indiansthe missionaries and preachers, of Mr.,
Douglass, and of all othors who under any pretext
may now be there the owners of slaves. The pas
sage of this bill will be 'fnality' in regard to
the introduction of slavery in the territory. The
nation may rely upon that

A FRAUD BEHIND A FRAUD. s....,
The Albany atlas, in discussing Douglass Ne
braska bill, says OF the clause directly authorizing
slavery to enter this territory:
"For ourselves, we believe that the repeal Of tho
Missouri Compromise would restore the condition
of the territory in this respect to that Of its orig

and that by Mr.. Douglass bill IL would continue
