h. snt;e;p.ted by thern; and that they wiaasAkc

suffered to pass away. 1t isa question OF un-
speakable magnitude, affecting not only the
interests Of those whe shall hereafter people
tbose vast. fertile, and beautiful regions, for
generations yet to come, but possibly the des-
TIMES of this whole nation. The people hold
power in their hands, which all the traitor
politicians of the country, the Douglases, the
piercees. the Claytons, and their coadjutors
cannot take away. or control, if they but de-
+errnine to exercise it. The politicians may
make compromises or may rcpudiate them,
vet the people still have it in their power, to
say whether the further spread of slavery over
free tsrritory shall be stayed or not.
The inception Of slavery into Nebraska, and
its establishment there, can only be prevented,
if the bill before Congress passes, by planting
upon the soil living wall of freemen, deter
mined that it shall find no foothold there
We want band Of valiant and noble pioneers,
to enter upon the territory, and give direction
to its future course. We want band of set
tiers, who, going there from the free States,
viii establish free institutions. If Southern
men come and attempt to intrsduce their ia
vorite institution, it should be met by that
equally favorite Northern institution-the un-
derground railroad. 1t should be met with
free schools and the ballot box. Against
these, slavery can never stand long. The un-
derground railroad makes the property too pre-
carious. Free schools are the landmarks Of
Freedom, they give to a people the know
ledge of their rights and their power, and the
ballot box gives them the means of exercising

Of non-slave-holders is necessary, aided, hthey
arc voters, by the uiua uoce system Of voting;
which exposes the Ignorant and dependent to
the surveillance aud control of the wealthy
planters and slave breeders.
Let this movement, then, go ahead. 1t is
one in which all good men may cordially
unite, and feel that they are doing something
for Freedom, something for their race, and
something on which they can reflect with sat-
isfaction IN all coming time. Already, we
learn that the proposition is received with
great favor, and commends itself to the judg-
ment of the people of every class and shade of
opinion. If it spreads and operates, as we
trust it will, the slave holders will find, that
though they may buy or control the politicians,
the people are still omnipotent.

LOCAL ITEMS.

Ms. Coh's LEcruRas. lecture of
Mrs. Emma n. Coe, on Monday evening,
upon Glove ard Marriage" was an able and
eloquent address, and heard with great inter-
est bya barge audience. After survey of
the paft assigned to woman in history, the
lecturer proceeded to a sketch, sometimes pa
thetic, and sometimes humorous, of her po-
sition in modern society, before and after
marriage. She showed the injury done, by
the inequality of the sexes, in rendering mar
riage first worldly and then impure main
tanning that the education of female children
is perverted from the beginning, by the assump-
ton that their only object in existence is first
to catch husband and then to coax him.
She argued that any elevation of the social,
legal, and financial position of woman would
have the effect not to render marriages UNI
happy, but to ennoble them; and was elo-
quent in her praise of home, when rendered
scene of equal and generous intercourse
between man and woman. On the whole,
her treatment of this difficult subject was
unexceptionable in its tone, and enlivened by
much Of the keenest satire.
Last night she lectured again, at City Hall,
on the Pecuniary Interests of Woman. We
shall notice this lecture further tomorrow.
NEW SCHOOL HOUSE AT THE South ESD.-
We have before us the report of the Commit
tee on School Houses, recently made to the
School Committee, upon the petition of Lew
is Thayer, and others, asking that "School
House be erected the coming season in that
section of the City lying south of Front and
Pleasant streets, which shall afford to said Sec
ton, school accommodations equal to those af-
forded to the northerly portion of the City, by
tho Thomas School House."
The report urges in decided terms COM
pliance with the prayer Of the petitioners and
presents such unanswerable arguments in ia
yor thereof, as we trust the city Fathers will
not disregard. The site proposed for the cree
ton of the new school house, is upon lot
of land owned by the city, situated on Syca-
more Street.

We learn with pleasure, that the statement
which has been SO widely circulated, and to
which we alluded yesterday, that no Catholic
priest signed the Anti Nebraska Clerical Me-
mortal is not correct. Both of those attached to
the church in this city, signed remonstrances-
one of them with the citizens generally, and the
other with the clergymen. Both would have
signed the latter, but for the absence from
town of one of them. 1t is not unlikely that
there are other instances of the kind.
