HAt a late meeting of the vincen-

uF0ur Marshal seems determined
to enforce the Hog Law. Being Of
opinion that tne hog Of a law maker
should not be a law breaker, he impris.
oned the "lone pig of Councilman
Morrow last week much TO the gratifi-
cation of the antics. Though we were
not in favor OF this law at first, we
highly approve of the course of the
Marshal in enforcing il, and we believe
that all good citizens will sustain him.
The contemplate act Of some outlaw.
who broke open the pen. to steal his
hogs, will meet with its rev ard, il the
perpetrator can be detected; and such
acts will tend to strengthen the law.
That some restraint on the liberty OF
the hoggish portion of our citizens. is
demanded, we can TESTIFY from having
had our garden rooted up frequently by
the dear creatures. Men who keep
hogs to root into gardens, should not
complain at being compelled to feed
them occaional. We hope there will
be no fInching at this crisis.

rHENKnnAsxA BILL. A1Aw

We gavo in an extra last week the
painful intelligence that the Hou use had
passed the Nebraska Bill by vote OF
lls to lo0--J. ii. LANE voting for the
bill.
On Thursday night about midnight
the Senate passed the bill by q vote Of
80 to ID. II must be work OF dark
ness as II passed each house ut the dark
hour OF midnight. II is work Of dark
ness, and we mistake the character OF
the people Of Indiana II II 10 not so pro-
nounced before the ides Of October.
The bill Is the same as that which
pissed tho Senate some time ago. except
the clause which DISTINGUISHED foreign
ers. ItrepeLls the Missouri Compro-
mise and provides that the sopereigns OF
the territory may receive tho Governor
appointed by the President. that said
Governor may veto any measure the
squatter soUereigRs may enact-that the
same sovereigns may be tired by Judges
appointed by the same Presidcnt-that
the same soyereigns may designate one
or more of their number who shall be
called Representatives. in Congress, but
said representatives shall not be allowed
to vote IN Congress-that the same
sovereigns may hurrah for the next can
didate for President, but they shall, in
10 case whatever, vote for him, not
even though he Is the sole active repre-.
senta tive OF the terrtories-the only
one who can select either their Gov
or judiciary-yet they shill have nc
more choice IN his selection than thu
citizens of Great Britain have--they
shall have only the distinguished squatte'
right OF submitting to laws the have ne
hand in making, to an executive they
have no vice in selecting, and to ju
dietary they knew nothing about--thal
need not even be citizens Of the terri
tories, until appointed to try the sovsr
eigns, nor even them, but a part OF tn
time.
By direct vote on the question, al
amendment which would grant them th
privilege Of excluding slavery was twicI
voted down, and yet this bill OF iniquit.
is yclcpt "the triumph Of squatter soy
ereignty"-a law that gives the settles
the right to act for themselves, and thi
lie is 10 be forced down the throats o
sensible men by party management
Will sensible men submit TO II! vii
they believe such law to be a triumph
Of popular rights. We can not believe
