Statesman and tho Nebraska Bill.

We learn from the correspondence OF
the Cincinnati papers, that the arrogant
assumptions of the Statesman. that the
election OF Mr.. Pu. b TO the U. S. Sen.
ate, was an approval Of the Nebraska
Bill, or the course of the Statesman in
relation to il, and the denunciations Of
all opposed 10 the peculiar position OF
the Statesman, has called out Senators,
who have become disguised with the
,lang Of that sheet. Mr.. Folleu, OF
Licking. felt himself called upon 70
speak out upon the subject, and obeyed
.hatjus impulse. Senator Anderson is
also out, in n letter in the State Demo.
crut. They say that in the election ol
MIR. Push no test Of approval Of the Ne.
braska Bill was presented; that they vot.
ed for Mr.. Pugh, and that they are op.
pose to the Douglas Bill. Senator An.
derson, at least, viii find himself fully
sustained in his position by his consti,.
uency, and when the Statesman or any
other sheet, or individual, expects to
brow beat and intimidate the Senator
from this county, mot Gallia as the cor.
respondent has iD they will find that
they have reckoned without their host.
We presume the resolutions opposing
that bill, will pass our Legislature by "a
large majority. Judge Johnson has al.
ways been a compromise man, and op.
posed to the agitation Of the question Of
slavery, and his very consistency places
him without an unnatural effort in oppo.
sition TO this scheme. Old Lawrence is

The Homestead Bill.

We are truly gra,ifed at the result Of
the vote upon the Homestead Bill in the
House Of representatives. A result no
less gratifying than instructive, when

Election Of Senator by the People.

After the demonstrations which have
been made last night, we again renew
our suggestion that an organic amend. :.
mcnt be made so as to provide for the
election of Senator by the people. There
is no earthly reason why the people,
who are so much interested in this Office
--an Office Of such national importance,
and when elections are so calmly and
fairly conducted in this republican
country--sh should not be trustel with
their suffrages on this subject. Perhaps
there is not member in the Legislature,
