nas- The Albany Alias charges US with

DD~ The Albany atlas charges us with being
amongst the prime movers and instigators OF
that portion of the Nebraska bill which repeals
the restrictive clause of the Missouri act of
1920. Our course in this particular is well
known to our readers and whilst we do not
claim any particular credit for our exertions to
procure the repeal of the line Of $50 30> We are
perfectly willing to sustain any amount of re-
sponsibiity which the freesoil organ at Albany
can place upon our shoulders touching that or
any other feature of the Nebraska bill. We
regard the Reputation of the Missouri restric-
ton as great achievement; and we could not
but be pleased if we were held to answer for
every step and movement by which that repu-
diation was effected, except that justice would
not be awarded to the more eminent and efec-
tive labors of others who have q right to the
thanks Of the country for their distinguished
services and earnest, energetic and untiring
exertions whilst the Nebraska bill was pend
ing.
Washington sentinel., 1854-06-23

to the sentiments contained in that address
but he po1lic cannot share in that conviction
without direct and positive evidence.
The address is from beginning to end free
soil production. The first sentence in it shows
that its leading objection to the Nebraska bill
was the offspring of anti-slayery sentiments and
was called forth by the repeal of the Missouri
restriction. It concludes with the assurance
that those who adopted it hold themselves in
readiness to do all in their power to restore the
Missouri compromise and to execute such fur
ther measures "as may be necessary. for the re.
corey Of the ground lost 10 freedom and TO pre-
rent The farther expressions Of slarey.'
This is the language of a thorough faced
freesoiler or hardened abolitionist; and yet
the public is informed that the address which
contains il ",cas unanimously adopted and or
dered to be published on the Goth of this month
at meeting Of members Of Congress uho OPP
posed the passage of the bill to organise the ter
ritories OF Nebraska and Kansas, held pursuant
to precious notice" This, we repeat, duplicates
every member of the Senate and House of Rep
resentatives who voted against the bill, for it
seeks to array their influence in favor of repeal
and to commit them to the freesol sentiments
and abolition language of the address signed
by Senator Foot and countersigned by Messrs.
Mace and Fenton.
attend the meeting, must perceive, therefore,
that it is due, not only to themselves, but to
the public to disclaim all participation in the
proceedings of that meeting. 1t is due to them
selves, because the Introductory remarks we
have alluded to compromises them most clearly;
it is due to the public, because it is attempted
to give the weight of their names to freesoil
sentiments, and to use their influence to foment
agitation and further the schemes of those who
have raised the flag Of repeal We trust, there
fore, that they will come out at once and deny
all completely with this movement, SO that the
country may know who they are, their number
and character, that have undertaken to speak
in behalf ofthe members of Congress opposed to
the Nebraska bill We feel sure that wnen
the process of signing off shall have been COM
pleted the meeting Of the 10th Of June will pre-
sent most lonesome and forlorn appearance
so lonesome and forlorn that the children,
even, will laugh and snap their fingers But
let the signing off begin, for the whole country
should be enlightened as to the origin and pa
ternity Of grave address on grace subject,
having the outward marks of Importance, and
sent forth to the world through the columns of
the National HateUigencer.
Washington sentinel., 1854-06-23
ANOTHER ADDRESS.

The National Latelligencer published yester.
day, an address against the Nebraska bill
That address emanatcd from meeiug OF
members of Congress, at which Senator f>nt,
Of Vermont presided, and Messrs. Mace and
Fenton, acted as secretaries.
The meeting was held on the 10th Of this
month, and the caption to the address an
nounces that it was "a meeting Of members Of
Congress soho opposed the passage Of the bill to
organize the Territories Of Nebraska and Kan
sas, held pursuant to prerious notice" But no
mention is made of the number of members
who were in attendance, and no names are
given, except those Of Senator Foot the chair
man, and of Messrs. Mace and Fenton, the two
secretaries.
1t may be that the officers comprised the
whole gathering, Notwithstanding the previous
notice to the enemies Of the Nebraska bill
We have no information on this point, how
ever, yet the terms in which the caption to the
address is couehed, would lead the public to
conclude that a large portion of those who
voted against the Nebraska bill were present
and assented to the address which was pub
lished in the National Lateliigencer.
The account states that the address was re-
ported by a committee appointed for the pur-
pose," but the size of that committee and the
names Of those who composed it are withheld.
Perhaps it was committee of perhaps a
committee composed of the two secretaries.
But no matter who attended the meeting, and
no matter who composed the committee, the
address has gone forth to the world as an ad-
dress adopted "at a mcetiug Of members Of
Congress scho opposed the passage Of the biH to
organize the territories Of Nebraska and Kan
sas, held pursuant to preUions notice"
This duplicates every member Of the Senate
and Of the House of Representatives who voted
against that bill, and makes it right and proper,
if not absolutely necessary, that the opponents
Of the bill who did not attend the meeting shall
come out sign-off, and repudiate the proceed
ings Of the conclave over which Senator Foot
presided and at which Messrs. Mace and Fen
ton acted as secretaries. Otherwise, they per-
NIT the. influence Of their names to be used in
favor Of the meeting, and must become impli-
Gated to some extent in the declarations Of the
address We feel convinced that some Of those
who voted against the Nebraska bill would
sooner cut off their right hands than subscribe

IL Sick Headache Remedy.-A remedy for
the sick headache, which has been recently offered
10 the public, is attracting great attention. not only
by reason of the very satisfactory testimonials TO
its efficacy which have been volunteered by many
who have been benefited by it, but also because
there are so great number Of people who are af
hicted with the distressing complaint for which
no medicine has before been made public DIR.
Eastman who discovered the efficacy of his ''rem-
edy," is a physician in this city, in high standng
with large practice. He is physician in whom
great confidence is placed; and we do not wonder
that his remedy for very common disease, which
has been so long needed has attractedthe attention
of all sufferers from headache who have heard of il.
From our own knowledge of DR.. Eastman's char
acter and practice, have no doubt that the med
icne deserves the favor il receives and that il will
prove 10 be great benefit to all who may give it
a trial.-Lynm News, December 90, 1853.

aTHE BOY Is FATHER TO THE MAN.

"THE BOY Is FATHER TO THE MAN."
So sang William Wordsworth, who only set
to poetry the common experience of mankind,
in regard to the influence Of education upon
the youthful mind. To this, in pre-eminent
degree, is due the tenacity and growth of re-
ligious feeling in the world. To this is due
the prejudices Of people Of different countries
for the institutions under which they may live,
SO directing and controlling the mind, that
men of similar intellect, and similar moral
worth, become tories in England, imperialists
in France, Mahometans in Turkey, Catholics
in Italy, republicans and freemen in America
How important, then, the early education of
the youth of our country how necessary to
train the mind in the pursuit of truth, in order
that they may become the faithful champions
of its principles when they attain the strength
of manhood.
The character Of the books which are sown
broadcast through the country at the present
day, and their consequent effect upon the ex-
panding minds Of the rising generation, have
induced these reflections. Beaten in the TO-
rum and in the Senate by the power of truth,
and of fidelity to the Constitution, the aboli-
tionists, with Jesuit cunning, have fastened
upon the more easily influenced minds of the
young as prey, and have sought to impress
their false logic, and false morality, upon the
children Of the country. The poison thus ad-
ministered by these publications is far more dan.
gerous, because insidious "They look the in
nocent flower, but are the serpent under it"
The good old days when the Arabian Nights,
Robinson Crusoe, Sanford and Merton, and
the Seauttul moral tales of Miss Edgeworth
filed the mind and heart of the young reader
with delight are fast passing away, and in
their stead has arisen the dangerous literature
of abolition authors, whose twofold object is to
sow the seeds of false doctrine in the minds
of the reader and to put money in the
pockets of the publisher. Evening conver-
sations" on the evils Of slavery, invidious COM
| parisons between different sections of the
country, the false morality Of modern philan-
thropy, and the destructive doctrines Of federal
construction, are the subjects Of productions
| intended to train the mind in its early develop
ment. "We have seen q northern school
book" says late distinguished author, in
| tended for the use of young gentlemen of the
| ripe age Of ten years, in which they are taught
by rote that Congress has power to provide
for the common defence and general welfare" ;"
We warn parents of the dangerous tendency
of these works, and urge them to examine well
the moral and political lessons which are thus
administered to their children, lest haply, some
hidden poison may be lurking in the food which
should nourish and strengthen them.
