Upton, Iotra, March 81, 1854 From all
can gather, the clergy and people are united
and determined that slavery shall mover trans
cend its present limits. Although we do not
join with and 90 the length that some do, yet
there Is q settled opposition to the extension OF
slavery. So far Us | can learn, persons OF all
parties and oil crceds in these parts oppose the
Nebraska bill.
have been led to make the above remarks
in my proper character, AS a Methodist cler-
gyman, from having received Mr. Dodge's
speech on the bill, which returned, with the
following superscription: 81 MIR. Dodge: No
quarters here for slavery prOpagandists, or tho
violators Of public faith"
Enosb,lrgh Falls, H., March 80, 1854 You
may Judge something OF the state of feeling in
this vicinity on the slavery question by the
following resolution, passed unanimously by
the town of Enosburgh. ut their annual town
meeting, held ON the 7th instant, which was
attended by two or three hundred legal voters:
Resolved That we are nnyieldingly opposed
to the passage by Congress Of Mr.. Douglass

HoaOara, Indiana, April S, 1S54--Mr. j. G.
Davis was elected by the combined votes Of
Wings and Democrats. His opponent voted
for the Fugitive Slave Law, which drew down
upon him tho opposition Of many who before
that time had been his stanch friends and
supporters. They rejected Mr. McGaughey
and voted for Mr.. Davis, thereby securing his
election. They could not swallow the pill
which Mr.. McGaughey had prepared for them.
In voting for Mr.. Davis, they supposed they
were supporting man who would be their
true Representative; who would not compro-
svJo
the sake Of obtaining tho good opinion Of those
who would sacrifice everything sacred in order
to advance tho peculiar institution
Ii the people rejected,< Mr.. McGaughey be-
cause he voted for the Fugitive Slave Law, his
successor cannot be blind to the fact, that, in
supporting the ubiquitous Nebraska bill, he
will render himself obnoxious to his constitu-
ENJOY, and draw down upon his head their Just
indignation. Many personal friends Of Mr..
Davis - stanch Democrats, who have long
stood up for their party--are out upon this
bill, and denounce, in the strongest terms, its
supporters. In Rockville, Mr. Dayiss native
town, are to be found many old Democrats
who stood up for tho compromise Of 1850, but
who now feel themselves and their party out
ragged by this scheme of Mr.. Douglas.
