comparison fails in one point-the weather is
sometimes clear--@ the organ is atlcays cloudy.
Friday, the dodgers from Pennsylvania, New
York, and Ohio, were delighted'with an article,
one column long, authoritative semi official, we
judge, from internal evidence, announcing
that the Bill of Mr. Douglas was "silent as to
the question of Slavery in the Territories du-
ring the territorial condition of the inhabit-
ants the Missouri Compromise was
still in force, and imposed .an honorary obli-
CATION which it was willing to- abide by
faithfully that clause repeating it would
have been more Gin consonance with it's wish
esq but that the good to be gained by such a
movement, was, perhaps, less than the evil that
might result from agitation All this was in
tended to reconcile the Representatives from
the North, anxious for q pretext, to the support
Of tho Bill, and to furnish them deceptive JUS
tifcation before their constituents, who, we
doubt not, have been duly supplied with that
number Of I" the organ
So the wind set last Friday; Saturday, there
was lull; Sunday, il hauled round to precise
y the opposite point Of the compass! In an
editorial, half column long, the same organ"
congratulates the Democracy, on Sunday morn
ing, that the Bill of Mr.. Douglas establishes in
Nebraska the principles Of Congressional nom
Intervention invests the People of the Ter
ritory, in their Territorial condition, with
the right Of deciding for themselves on the
question Of Slavery, and as necessarily So
cures to all citizens the right to emfgrate to
such Territory, and to enjoy their rights,
whether Of person or property unenlbdrrassed
By Congressional restrictions or prohibitions p
that is, by the Congressional restriction Of 1920
or any future restrictions from Congress
fatty contradicting the editorial of Friday
morning! aWelI, what think you now?O said
we to azealous supporter Of the Administration
who had found great consolation in that edito-
rial of Friday 90, don't talk y was his reply.
He had given up all hope Of consistency in
"the organ"
We print the whole Of Sundays editorial.
It holds that Shareholders should the Bill be-
come Law, may emigrate to the Territory,
with their property" that the People Of the
Territory may act on the subject Of Slavery
aunembarrassed by Congressional restrictions
or prohibitions" but that should any doubt ex-
ist on this point it should be excluded by an
additional provision although last Friday the
good to be obtained by such provision was
not in its Judgment sufficient to compensate
for the evil which would probably result!
How many copies of the last number Of e the
organ" have been sent home to the constitu-
ency?
From the Union Of Sunday
The Nebraska Question: Fidelity to the Com
promise. se.-The settlement of the question in
yolved in the Nebraska bill calls for the exer-
else of that spirit Of Cancellation and forbear-
ance, on which alone sectional issues can be
amicably and satisfactorily adjusted. 1t can-
not be too constantly borne in mind by Demo-
Gratis that they have permanent opponents,
who stand ready at all times to avail them
selves of the discord and dissension which such
issues are calculated to engender in our ranks
If we exhibit the wisdom which becomes our
party on the present occasion, we will allow
our old enemies, whether Wings or Abolition
lists, to take no benefit from the Nebraska ques-
ton That wisdom will be displayed in pre-
senting an unbroken column in favor Of adher-
ing faithfully to the principles Of the Compro-
mise OF 1850. We feel that every true Demo-
crat will readily respond to the sentiment that
our plighted faith, our party fcalty, and our
love of the Union, demand that the principles
Of that Compromise shall be recognised and Of
firmed in giving Territorial Government to
Nebraska. In the emphatic and patriotic
language of Mr.. Dean, we believe that all good
Democrats, as well as the friends of the Ad-
mnistration in New York, regard the Com.
promise of 1850 as full and final settlement
Of the Slavery agitation in Congress- and they
are willing that the principles Of that Compro-
mise shall be applied to any new Territory
that may be organized, whether it be Nebras-
ka Cuba or Sonora
The bill reported by MIR. Douglas challenges
the support Of every true Democrat, upon the
ground that it re-enacts and re-afirms the prin-
ciples Of the Compromise Of 1850. 1t assumes
that that Compromise was designed TO be
final and pcrmanentin its operation. 1t assumes
what cannot be controverted, that the great
principles Of the Compromise Of 1850, 30 far as
the question Of Slavery in new Territories is
involved, was the recognition Of the dontrine Of
Congressional non-intervention. This princi-
pie necessarily leaves the question TO the deci
sion Of those inhabiting the Territory, and il as
necessarily secures to oil citizens the right to
emigrate to such Territory, and to enjoy their
rights, whether of person or property, unem-
barrassed by Congressional restrictions or pro.
,hibitions. This being the effective apd vital
principle Of the Compromise of 1850, it must
be apparent that its introduction into the Ne.
braska Bill is no more than giving permanency
and perpetuation to that Compromise. We
understand this principle to be incorporated
into Mr.. Douglass bill, and because we have
90 understood il we have given to it n ready
and cordial support But if there can be a
doubt raised on this point, it is due TO tho mo.
mentous character Of the question that such
doubt shall be removed.
This can be done in strict accordance with
the Compromise Of 1850, and it is on the
ground that the principles OF that Compromise
ought TO be perpetuatcd that no room for mis-
construction should be left. By the Compro-
mise Of 1850, the Territories Of Utah and New
