The following summary, from one of our ex-
changes will show what kind of encourage
ment has been thus far given to the Bill to re-
peal the Missouri Compromise The Bill was
introduced on the 4th Of January; and since
the first of that month, ten Legislatures have
been in session in the free States, and nine in
the slaveholding
ain Maine resolutions against the abroga-
ton Of the Missouri Compromise passed the
Senate, by a vote Of "a to ; In the House, by
q vote of SO to 6.
In Massachusetts, the Senate adopted res
olutions against the Nebraska bill, by unani-
NOUS VOTE and the House Of Representatives
by vote of 246 to 10.
"In Rhode Island, the Legislature passed
resolutions against the measure, unanimously.
:" In New York. the resolutions instructing
its delegation in Congress to oppose any ac-
ton which shall look in any degree to repeal
or to negation of the. binding force OF the
provisions known as the Missouri Compromise
passed the Senate by vote Of % to 8, and the
House by vote of 80 to 81.
'sIn Pennsylvania, the Democratic Legisa-
ture, after considering the subject, refused to
take a vote on it, and 80 also did the Demo-
cratic State Convention The Wing State Con-
vention have unanimously condemned the bill.
I" 10 New Jersey, the Democratic majorites
have refused to come to any vote upon the sub
ject.
SIN Ohio, the Democratic majorities, which
constitute almost the entire Legislature, have
persisted in keeping the subject on the table,
fearing, like those in Pennsylvania and New
Jersey to defy public opinion, and yet unwil-
ling to break with the National Administra-
ton. The Legislature has elected man as
United States Senator who il opposed to the
bill in its present shape; and the only candi-
date who openly proclaimed himself in favor
of the bill received but twelve votes in the
Democratic caucus.
"ln Illinois, resolution approving of the
bill passed the Senate by vote of IA to 8, and
the House Of Representatives by vote of 80
to %; but the affirmative votes in both
branches made up less than half Of the Legis-
lature, since the former body consists of twen-
ty-fye members and the House Of seventy-tive.
in Wisconsin, resolutions opposing the bill
passed both branches Of the Legislature by de-
cided majorities.
"In California, the Legislature Of which is
strongly Democratic, no action has been taken
upon the subject.
E

Trained from meddling with the matter.
"In Maryland, the Legislature adjourned on
the 10th Of this month without any expression
of opinion on the subject.
g In Virginia, the Legislature adjourned on
the 4th instant without any vote in reference
to the bill.
"In Mississippi, the Legislature adjourned
on the I'd instant without, SO far as we are
aware, any vote on the measure.
In Alabama the Legislature adjourned
about fortnight since without an expression
of opinion in favor Of the bill.
ain Louisiana, the Legislature has ad-
journed, and was silent on the Nebraska bill
"In Texas, the Legislature adjourned about
a month since leaving the subject untouched
In Kentucky, the Legislature has just ad
journed without expressing any opinion on the
BILL though it found time to pass more than q
thousand acts.
ain Tennessee, the Senate adopted a resolu-
ton endorsing the principles contained in the
Nebraska bill by vote of IL to l. A similar
resolution introduced in the House was laid on
the table; and that adopted by the Senate was
taken up towards the close Of the session, and
lost for want of a quorum.
ain Georgia, the House unanimously, and
the Senate with only three dissenting votes,
adopted resolutions strongly in favor of the BILL
and instructing their delegation in Congress to
vote accordingly"
In Connecticut, the Wing and Democratic
State Conventions both passed resolutions unan-
imously against the Bill.
In Detroit which usually gives 800 Demo-
cratic majority, Hyde, the Anti-Repeal cand-
date for Mayor was elected by 1000 majority.
The State of New Hampshire has just been
carried by an Anti Nebraska, if not an anti
Administration, majority, although it gave
General Pierce majority Of 5000.
And yet the organ " talks as coolly Of car
rying thi0Repeal Bill through the House Of
Representatives, as if Public Sentiment had not
branded it as an outrage.
ia letter from New York to the Phila-
delphia Ledger contradicts the statement of
some of the New York papers, that the steamer
Empire City, which sailed for Havana on the
l4th instant had her manifest purposely made
out Ia Black Warrior. On the contrary, it
is asserted that she had her papers prepared
in strict conformity to the port regulations Of
Havana.

No man having any regard for truth will
pretend that the question OF repeating the Mis-
souri, Compromise was before the people in any
shape, during the last Congressional election.
