The Richmond virginia. Enquirer persists
in its objections to the Nebraska Bill in its
present shape. IL insists upon striking out
Badgers amendment and restoring TO Congress
the power Of revising Territorial Legislation.
True, to deprive Congress Of this power is not
TO establish Squatter Sovereignty, but il gives
couhtenance TO that monstrosity, for by such
epithets is IL stigmasized in the South Squat
ter Sovereignty ID ~ much detested by the self
styled Southern Democracy, as the Wilmot
Proviso--for Il is merely . transfer Of tho
power Of Intervention against Slavery, from
Congress, in which the shareholders exert a
controlling influence, to Territorial Legisla-
ture where they may be able to exert no infu-
ence at ALL
The doctrine Of General Cass on this point,
says the South Side Virginia) Democrat, is
Cranky absurd
aHolding that Congress has no constitu-
tional power to prohibit Slavery in the Terri
tories, he argues that IL can confer this power
upon a Territorial Legislature. In other words,
that Immediately on the passage of the bill, a
few hundred Yankees or Foreigners can elect
members Of the Legislature, and that this body,
Immediately on it's organization, can abolish
Slavery, and inhibit the stakeholder forever
from entering the Territory with bis property
Does General Cass imagine Ahat the Southern
People will stomach this doctrine?"
As to Badgers amendment the Richmond
(va) Enquirer is correct in its logic. IL is a
clear act Of Intervention BY Congress in rela-
ton to Slavery. No sophistry can conceal this
conclusion. 1t was held in the Senate by
Messrs Clayton, Badger, Butler, explicitly, and
assented to by the rest Of the Southern Sena-
tors that thclaw Of Slavery existed in Louisiana
Territory, prior to the act Of 1920 that that
act suspended Il, as to the portion Of the Terri
tory north Of SO deg. 80 min. and that the

THE Rev. pR. DUFF.

This distinguished missionary has received
visited since his return TO his native country.
At recent meeting Of a number of friends in
New York, he made statement that is thus
reported in the Commercial Advertiser
He said, that in all his public addresses he
had abstained from allusion to his own special
employment His remarks had been directed
to the mission work in general-urging, to the
best Of his abilities, the Importance Of all pro-
fessors or religion and those who felt an inter-
est in the final triumpbs Of the Messiah, ex.
tending missionary labor throughout the world.
" The field was tho world"
The work in which he was engaged in Brit
ish India commenced in what might now be
considered feeble sffort-it had grown year
ly. Those to whom he was then speaking
knew, in some degree, the amount Of labor
which had been performed He went to the
East, and found faculties which appeared TO
require more than human efforts to overcome.
Superstitions reigned everywhere. He did not,
however, find himself surrounded by an igno
rant multitude for it is n well-established
fact that in India learning is the great pass
port to favor.
The Hindoos readily acquire knowledge,
and some of them are eminent in their attain
ments. DR.. Duff cited the case of a young
Hindoo who visited Scotland, and who preached
with great acceptance. IF the cause Of true
religion is to extend in tho vast regions Of In
dis, it must be by the education Of tho natives
q the country.
The labor DR.. Duff had to endure when he
first went out was very severe. He was brought
TO all appearance, to the gates of death, and

return to his native country. His health re-
stored, he returned to India, and although op-
position still continued by degrees il was over
come, and he soon found new doors open for
him. The change was great--it was super
human wrought by Divine power--and now
he could pass through the country and perform
his missionary labors with as much safety rs
he could in Britain or America

the Nebraska swindle was the last straw laid
on tho cameps hack which broke their scru-
pies. Mr.. Douglas had drawn il little too
strong. The South had asked little too much
The cmetic which brought up the Compromise

A LAME APoLoGY.--The National Era has
come to the defence Of Senator Phelps, Of YER
mont, who was one Of the dodgers on the Ne
braska vote. Mr.. Phelps was appointed SEN
ator by the Governor, to fill the vacancy occa-
stoned by tho death Of Mr.. Upham. II was
expected that no would hold his seat only until
the meeting Of the Legislature; but tho Legis-
lature failed to elect any one in his place On
the re-aseembling of the Senate, Mr.. Phelpe
re-appearcd in his seat. Several Senators have
expressed the opinion that he had no right
there; but no definitivc action has been taken
in the premises.
The Era says that under such circumstances
Mr.. Phelps felt delicacy about voting on an
important question. That is TO say, he is an
ofhcer in the army who feels delicacy about
lighting, but has not the slightest scruple or
compunction about drawing his pay and ra-
ti0ne
People must not be accounted very unchari-
table If they suspect that the delicacyn Of
such officers arises from the fear Of being shot
If Mr.. Phelps had voted against the bill, the
Southern chivalry would have sent him out Of
the Senate with snddenness which would
hardly have left him time to pick up his hat
Nsw York Evening Post, March H.
MIR. Phelps is no friend Of ours politically
or personally What We said, we deemed an
act Of justice. We have nothing further to say
The Senator Is Of age and can speak for him.

The only other foreign mail service that we
have is that over the lsthmus of Panama, pay
ing the contractors $95 1886, and lines Of steam
ers from Charleston to Havana and from New
Orleans to Vera Cruz which cost about
$4,000 The original contracts for this SER
vice contained, if we mistake not, conditions
recurring all, or most Of these mail steamers
to be 30 constructed that they could, on an
emergency, be converted into war vessels, and
the people have for years supposed that these
conditions had been complied with.
IL now appears by letter from the Secre-
tary of the Navy to the House OF Representa-
tives, that not one OF the mail steamers can be
fitted for vessels Of war. Persons familiar
with their construction knew long ago that this
was the case but no official announcement Of
the fact has been made until now.

PROFITABLE FARMING-A correspondent Of
the St. Louis Republican, writing running
sketch Of his travels in Illinois, gives the fol.
lowing description Of an Illinois farm:
The cars are now passing an immense
corn field, Of fifteen bundled acres, within one
enclosure Think Of that IL is owned by
Mr.. John Alexander, Of Sangamon county,
VINO mas 5,uOO ACRES vi prairie, mere, I'D onc
body, 1900 Of which is in corn. His business
is stock feeding. To raise his crops and feed
them out, he employs about thirty men, and
thirty head Of horses, per year. His sales Of
stock, the past year, amounted to over $50, 600,
Eight years since he had about $500 in his
pocket, and bought some Of this land. Now
IL Is paid for, and he is worth his thousands.
Here is specimen of Illinois farming"
A Nebraska meeting has been held at Qun-
cy, Illinois. The call invited all who were in
favor Of athc right Of the People to rule" A
large number assembled. A resolution declar-
ing the right and capacity Of the People to
rule wasintroduced and passed unanimously
another resolution, Mandatory of Douglas and
his Nebraska Bill was introduced. To this Q
substitute was cffered, expressing the opinion
Of the meeting that Douglas was responsible
for the agitation Of Slavery in the present Con-
gress. The substitute was adopted by vote
Of three to one; whereupon, the chairman and
other friends Of Douglas retired.

repeal Of the act would revive it, or place that
portion Of the Territory in statu quo. In other
words, Congress in 1920 intsrUsnsd against
Slavery and by repeating its act passed then,
it withdraws Intervention. The effect, the revi-
val Of the Slave Code, is owing, to the prin-
ciple, not Of Intervention, but Non-lntervention.
Bot at this point comes in the amendment OF
MIR. Badger, declaring that the slave code shall
not be revived by the repeal Of the act--in
other words, he proposes Intervention by Con-
gress to prevent The legal effect Of the repeal Of
the Missouri Compromise that is, the revival
Of the old slave code Of Louisiana.
We repeat the Enquirer is right, when it
declares that Badgers amendment is q palpa-
BILE violation of the Principle Of Non Interyen-
ton, which it is the professed object Of the Bill
to carry out.
The same Journal of course, asserts, that in
virtue Of the Constitution, Shareholders will
have the right to carry their slaves into the
Territory of Nebraska, should the Bill pass, and
to claim protection from the Federal Govern
ment; but this fact II says, does not justify the
surrender Of the additional security derived
from the revival of the colonial law Of Slavery
Let there be no Compromise, then, it exclaims
aWhy emasculate the Bill, by attaching to it a
provision inconsistent with its principle and
object? Why embarrass its progress by an
amendment obnoxious to the Democracy Of the
SOUTH We do not assent to the Compromise
we repudiate the amendment We want the
bill in its original shape. We 20 for the repeal
Of the Missouri restriction, without squattey 500
ereignty or Badger proviso."

WEDNESDAY, MARCH IS, 1854.
CONGRESS-.


The Senate to-day closed it's doors for the
transaction Of Executive business, at an early
hour During its Legislative session, petitions
were received urging the adoption Of measures
to secure to American citizens their religious
liberties and the right of sepulture In every
cline The bill providing for retired army
list was passed also.
In the House, Mr.. Bridges, Of Pennsylvania
delivered well-preparcd speech in support Of
the Nebraska bill--a speech that we shall be
gratfed to see in the hands Of every candid
and intelligent person in the land. Mr.. Bridges
out Herods Herod; he goes beyond what the
slave power would have commanded him to
perform.
We thought it pity that gentleman, not
himself reaping pccuniary profits from the toll
of an oppressed race, could be found so wan
tonly to assume the attitude he has chosen to
occupy.
Mr.. Brooks, of South Carolina on the same
side, was all a Southern gentleman in the con-
ventionalism of his courtesy, in the holiness Of
his bearing, and in the bitterness and scorn Of
his denunciations He is young gentleman
of fine appearance, Of good information, and Of
fair elocution and will no doubt acquire prac-
tical wisdom with increasing years, which, on
the subject Of Slavery, is greatly to be desired.
