DAILY CRESCENT.
The Nebraska Bill.

This measure which has just passed Congress,
but which nobody here cared fig about has
created tremendous excitement throughout the
Northern States. tits but fair to let our readers
know the state feeling at the other ex treme Of
the Union, and the grounds Of it, We therefore
copy the following from the New York Express:
Win slavery ind its way into Nebraska We
DO not believe it! This being the practical
operation Of the measure, why, it may be asked.
al this feeling at the North upon the subject
we answer, because it is question Of far more
Importance than the creation of new territory,
even with slavery established by law Ths III
Of Congress is looked upon as the violation Of 4
solemn compromise. 1t is too late to question
the constltutionality Of law, acquieseed in for
more than thirty years, and in regard to the
constitutionality Of which 30 many Southern
statesmen stand committed It'll true that the
Missouri law was repealab1e, by the exercise of
an arbitrary power ofrepeal. Bots the Fugitive
Slave law, one Of the series Of measures which
made up the Compromise Acts of 1850, repeal
able Ii you can repeal one compromise, you
can repeal another; and if you break the one,
which has been acquiesced in for thirty-t three
years, it will be easy to break one Of only three
years standing. View it in whatever light in
which the subject can be presented, we can not
see that the South obtains any practical adyan-
tage by this measure, while its effect upon the
non slayeholding States has been to make anti
slavery men by thousands. The success of the
Nebraska bill, in truth, is to-day much more 81
victory to the Abolitionists than it is to the
South, and the Abolitionists are, of all others,
the most satisfied men at the result
The South can make no greater mistake than
to suppose that opposition to this bill has como
from the Abolitionists of the North The most
earnest, though not the most noisy, opposition
has come from. the Union-loving. law abiding,
constitutional men Of the North, from those who
sustained at home all the odium attached to the
support Of the Compromise of 1860, and who now
feel that Southern men have committed a great
wrong upon their former friends ait the North
Such men do not change in day or a year
Nor has the opposition been Of party charac-
ter. Fifty Wings and ffty-two Democrats have
voted no. Two-thirds of the votes Of this State
stand registered against the measure, and We
verify believe, aside from mere Executive place
and influence, that full nine-t enths of the people
are against the midnight measure Of the House
of Representatives.

10 We find the following in an old
number of the Connecticut Journal for
February, 1853:
Mr.. Frog. tailor, who had left Charles
ton at the commencement of the war. re-
turned after the capituIation and got ac-
quainted with certain J. w. Gibbs who
was requested by Frog to stand as god
father TO one of his children, which was
agreed TO by Gibbs, provided he should have
the naming Of the child As they were
going 70 the church the father asked Gibbs
if he had thonghi Of name.
Yes" said Gibbs. what do you think of
our Lieutenant BuIl!n
Very good, = said the father, 81 approve
OF It very murn."
The child was accordingly named Bull.
Frog did not Immediately think Of the droH-
cry OF the name, but when he did he could
have killed Gibbs for this imposition on his
reliance and friendship.
He thought to have recourse to the Board
OF Police TO get permission to re-baptise the
child; bu, when he saw Lieut. Gov Bull
presiding there. he thought i, wonil be an
atiront 10 relate the story. therefore he post
pnned the matter. and the child retains the
appellation OF Bull Frog.

Krss1NG.-A young lady at Alton, Illinois

KIssrNG.-A young lady at Alton, Illinois
gives the following as her sentiments in re-
gard TO kissing:
Having seen great deal about kissing in
the Telegraph and Courier deem it proper
to say few words on that important sub.
Ject, as it is of as much consequence to Us
as to the opposite sex Now in my humble
opinion, You have said quite enough, and il
Is high time for somebody else to talk. You
don't like this way or the other way-sup-
pose you give it up entirely.
Speaking of proposed kisses, they are not
liked at all. have made it my business to
inquire among my numerous friends, and
they agree with me, that a stolen kiss is the
most agreeable to them-that is, consider
ing the one who steals it, for they certainly
are not all the most delightful. If you had
mirror 70 reflect your own image, during
the operation, think you would never find
fault again. Talk of shyness and struggling:
no wonder! when such, disgusting bipeds
approach. it is miraculous that ladies' do
not fall into commissions. do not speak al
together from experience but from what
have heard others say. myself have not
been kissed more than two or thee times,
but as am qnlte young. expect 10 receive
many more. One of these was administered
in first rate style-a kiss to perfection.
A clean mouth and handsome teeth are
Indispensable requisites, and they are sell
dom to be found. There is but one gentle
man in Alton, TO my knowledge, that pos
sesses these vaIuables. Now, let your
curiosity ransack your memory to discover
who the favored one is Most of you would
contamnate the cheek or brow of the lady
(her lips you have nothing to do with) with
the odious incense of champagne, tobacco,
or seeds. which are worse than all, even
though they do conceal the perfume of The
two first mentioned for certainly that is
what they are eaten for suppose gentle
men think we are entirely innocent Of their
use, but we all know very we'll.
The very idea of one who processes to be
an elegant gentleman to appear in the pre-
sence of ladies, with his pockets we'll stored
with these abomiuable seeds, and, at every
sly opportunity. abundan.ly supplying the
mouth, is absurd. For the future, If YOU
wish 10 kiss lady without her blushing
and struggling, dispense with these dis
agreeable articles. and I'll guarantee you
will have no unnecessary trouble.
