MIR. stuart and Nebraska.

Mr. Stuart, editor of the Steubenville
Union, and member of Congress from that
district, had the independence to speak and
vote against the Nebraska Bill in Congress.
For this act he is catching tar, as the phrase
goes, from some of the Administration loving
slaveocrats in his district. No doubt the
slave power will attempt TO defeat him at
another election, or at another Convention.
Our own opinion is that the Anti-Nebraskans
should nominate him again, and elect him. 1t
can be done, and should be done. Superhuman
efforts will be made in the next campaign
by the Slaveocracy to defeat those who op-
posed the Bill, and they must be met every
where by spirit of determined opposon.-
Men who opposed that Bill in Congress must
be sustained, and men O who voted for it
must be marked, and politically garotied.-
The present crusade is movement Of
men of all parties. Let those men unite on
persons for Congress in whom they have
every confidence. Who then so fitting as
those who have passed through the fiery
ordeal of the past session and come out un-
scathed, and determined still. True, Mr..
Stuart but did his duty in Congress, yet even
this is so rare in these days Of slave aggression
that he should be sustained, and sent back
to Congress. Would to God, Ohio had pre-
sented an unbroken front to the slave cohorts!
1t would have been spectacle to boast Of
But in deep humiliation we have to acknowl-
the detection of four mis- Representatives.

them be remembered

SIGNS OF WOE.

The Columbus Statesman was a Nebraska
print. The Columbus Democrat was an
Anli-Nebraska print. The twain made one
under the title of Statesman and Democrat
is now Nebraska paper, inasmuch as since
the passage of the bill it is opposed to any
agitation for The repeal of the measure.
Yesterday, however, it discoursed in this
wise. 1t says:
awe have information, by no means un.
reliable, that the South claims the Governor
ship d. Judiciary of Kansas, and the Judiciary
of Nebraska; and is willing to allow the
North the Governorshp of Nebraska alone,
II urges this claim on occunt of the alleged
hsterodoxy of the north in relation to the
construction Of the Constitution and the
Territorial powers under the law. Can il be
true' as we hear, that there is any probability
that the Administration will yield to this de-

A new feature in Democracy.

The following paragraph is from leading
democratic paper of this state, and might be
taken as the voice of that party. We are
satisfied however that there are numbers in
the party who utterly repudiate such internal
doctrines, despite the efforts of the party
leaders to make it a test of Democracy.
Because Locofocoism cannot make the
Supreme Court of the United State up
hold by Its decision some of their outland-
ish views on political economy, they de-
nounce that tribunal as set of superannunat

Pursuant to notice large aud respectable
number of citizens male and female, of Cole
rain Township, met in the school house near
Pleasant Grove, on Saturday, June l7th,9 for
the purpose of devsing ways and means to
carry out the provisions of the new temper
ancc law.
The meeting was addressed by the Rev.
BENJAMIN ODER, after which the resolutio ms
were read Gas repor,ed by ~ Pennington Esq,
and passed by temperance meeting held in
st. ClairSvile, June iOth,) and on motion
were unanimously adopted, as fully express
ing the views of those present.
On motion, Ellis DUNCAN, David Naylor,
Jas. V. Stlwell Lavoisier Cunningham and
Slater Brown, we're appointed committee of
vigilance, whose duty it shall be to see that
the provisions of the new temperance law
are FULLY executed.
On motion, s. Brown was appointed to
draw up the proceedings of the meeting and
present the same 10 the editors of both the
county papers, and request them to publish
the same.

the constitution OF equal sahctity; which
compes every man who presents himself ot
the polls 10 vote, or as candidate for Office,
to swear that he will support the Nebraska
bill; and which requires him to devote him
self TO the propagation of slavery before he
is. allowed to exercise the nalicnablc right
Of freeman.
This is the first time an American citizen
has ever been required to take an oath TO
support an act of Congress; it is tho first
time suffrage and office were ever made de-
pendent upon such an oath; it is the first
time the extension of slavery has been raised
to the level Of a constitutional duty.
The operation of this qualification will be
TO exclude from the polls and from Office in
the territories nearly every man who goes
there from the free States. II will disfranchise
nearly every member of every emigrant as
socation that has yet been formed, and place
the entire political power of the territory in
the hands Of Shareholders or slavery propa-
J gandists, for no others will or can take the
oath required by the terms of this act.
1t will also exclude from the polls and from
Office for five years, every foreigner who may
reach the territory after the first election day.
As the great bulk of the future settlers oil
Nebraska will be foreigners and emigrants
from the free States, it is obvious that so far
from governing themselves, the inhabitants
Of the territory will have comp paratively moth

complying with this reasonable request,
(Which is nothing moro than the duty Of ev-
cry good ciiizcn) it will not only he credita-
bic to them, but save the friends Of law and
order the painful task Of enforcing tho pen
atty OF the present liquor law.
Resolved, Second, That in the judgment
of this meeting, it is the duty of al good cit
liens, lovers of sobriety and christianity. to
lend their aid in the strict execution OF this
law in all its features, upon all who may be
guilty ofits violation, for the protection Of
our rights, the safety OF our families, and for
the prosperity and happiness Of the young
and rising generation.
Resolved, Third, That there be Com

be sacrificed thus, and be led to the sacrifice
like lamb 10 the slaughter. There will be
but one voice in Ohio and that in unmensur-
ed condemnation, unless there be fair play
rhewn to the North in the execution oe this
bill. AcquiesCence in 1t is based upon this
faith. Ii this faith fails, our Democracy,
while they stand like phalanx on our State
issues, will take their own course on Nation
al matters, until they can obtain an Admins
tration which suits their own views and
touches their own sympathies."
Furthermore, the Columbus Democrat, be-

man hsving retired from the concern nlto-

new paper would perserye the complexion Of
the Democrat Instead Of that, however, it
has completely "crawfshed" out of its first
position. With the remembrance Of that
speedy change of principles we venture to
say that the above extract is the merest
t'caddle, and as soon as the President cracks
his whip they will pull away Justify at the
Slave car, even ifthe South holds all the Offices
in the new territory. 1t is we'll enough to

pleasant, as well as nauseating, we should
I think, to swallow ones own words. We

GrThe Boston correspondent of O. s.

recent fugitive slave case in that city,
can incident, illustrative of American feel
ing, occurred, which it may be worth while
to relate. have it from On eye witness. A
gentleman about to pass from Kilby into
State street, was pushed back bya police
man, who pointed pistol at his breast, and
told him that he could not pass. "Sir," re-
piled the gentleman, "my business is in State
street, and must pass" "My orders are
peremptory, and you cannot pass" "What
right, sir, have you to prevent any peaceable
citizen from passing through the streets at
any hour he pleases. You are a foreigner,
an lrishman, and cannot sympathize with us.
You were ruled and kept down by the point
of the bayonet. l will pass" And throwing
his arms behind him. and bareing his breast,

ENCOURAGEMENT.

The following letter from talented and
highminded clergyman comes to us freightet
with words of good cheer, which we are al
ways thankful for, but more especially lust
at present when dark clouds lower over the
pathway of our ship Of State, aiid threaten to
when and sink it forever. Our correspond
ent is one OF those conscientious men who
are not afraid to speak out Oh any question
OF evil tendency, whether political or not.
He feels, and knows that an act can be a
moral and political evil at the same time,
and he acts accordingly, in defiance Of all
dwarfsh opposition.
We have frequently received encourage:
ment in our course from men of all parties,
and from various neighborhoods; and, although
cheerful words are almost the breath of life
to persons in every occupation, yet feeling
confident that we are on the side of humani-
ty and justice in the present contest, we shall
60 on in the path we have laid down, whether
encouraged by words of good cheer or not.
Mr.. EDrroR:--l have been much gratfied
in reading your editorials on the Nebraska
perfidy; and most heartily endorse your sue-
gestion that all mere party considerations

In view of the fearful strides of
despotism in our land, and the great
corruption generally prevalent in
high places, many citizens of our
State, without respect to party, have
agreed to meet by their delegates, in
Columbus on the 18th of July next,
to take into consideration the best
means of rolling back this tide ofop-
preston, and placing our government
once more upon firm .haSs, Pre-
liminory to this State mseehis there
will be a meeting at
BELMONT, JULY 4th, 1854,
to consult on this matter, and if deem
ed necessary, send up delegates to the
State Convention. 1t is no move
ment of party leaders to get up a
new party, but a call Of the people
of the North to protect their rights
from further encroachments by
despot.
