THE ACCOUNT BROUGHT FORWARD
The Milwaukee Neps says that three or four
Democratic papers in Wisconsin oppose the
Nebraska Bill. The Daily Free Democrat o.
the same place, on the other hand, counts up
twelve Democratic journals in that State act
lively opposed to the measure:
aThe Wisconsin, Oxaukea Times, .Sheboygap
,sU,ss~,y, WISCONSIN Pinery, Columbus Report
en-, Beaver Dam Republican, Watertown Regis
ter, Jefersonidn, Potosi Republican, GAINESVILLE
Standard, Monroe Sentinel and Elkhorn Re.
porter, twelve regular Democratic papers, pub.
lished in English, besides four or five German
Democratic papers, have unequivo0ally CON-
demned the Nebraska bill, and the Hudson
Journal has copied an article against the bill.
A truthful chronicler is the Neacs, verify"
The st, Louis Daily Democrat says that the
Democratic press of Missouri is unanimously
opposed to the repeal Of the Missouri Compro-
mise, and that the Republican is the only Wing
paper Of the State that fayors the repeal and
the agitation Of the Slavery question" 1t
quotes from the ST. Joseph Gazette and the Sa-
yannah Sentinel a protest against the repeal:
ave commend the following article from
the Savannah Sentinel to the attention OF those
who would now revive the agitation of the Sla-
very question by attempting to repeal the Mis-
souri, Compromise. And we would ask those
who sustain Atchison on this question, do they
not remember when he said that Compromise
never could be repealed? And was not that
assertion made after the Compromise of 1850 ?
9sThe Compromise Of 1850 is said to be q
fnality.o The platforms Of 1852 are claimed
to have settled the Slavery question. Any fur
ther agitation of that subject is expressly de-
nounced Yet the very men who made the
one, and proposed to stand on the other, now
are attempting most shamefully to violate
both" by Incorporating the same Slavery ques-
ton into the Nebraska BILL and agitating the
country anew They not only betray their
want Of faith, but they are covert enemies to
Nebraska and the Union, and deserve the exc
Grafton of every good citizen in our land |!
Down with the agitators :"
We publish in another column letter from
Mr.. Chamberlain, member of Congress- from
Indiana, which we find in the Goshen (Ia.)
Democrat, dated February 9th, in which he
announces his purpose to vote against the Bill
repeating the Missouri Compromise.
From the following paragraph it would seem
that Mr.. Harlan, another member from the
same State, is committed against it, unless his
constituents override him:
ANDREW ]. Harlan, member of Congress
from the IL It'll district, has written letter to
his constituents, expressing an opinion adverse
to the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, and
asking instruction from them if they differ
from him. We have 80 large a number Of
subscribers in that district we would gladly
publish the letter for their satisfaction only for
its great length and the fact that we did not
receive copy Of it till our paper was nearly
ready for press"
OF course Mr.. Harlan must know that if he
were to visit the home Of every constituent IN
his District, and put the question to him,
aShall vote for this Bill to repeal the Mis-
souri, Compromise, which has been acquiesced
in by North and South for thirty-three years 20
the prompt decided answer would be, no.
Mr. Mace, Of that State, deserves great
credit for the boldnese with which he took his
position on this question at an early period.
He understands what Northern and Western
feeling is on this subject and he is as true TO
his constituents as to his own convictions
Somebody finding o fit organ in the Indiana
State Sentinel, edited by the man who under
took to steal unto the Speakers chair of the
United States House Of Representatives, by
pledging himself secretly to Free-Soiers, while
he cheated the shareholders attempted to
damage Mr.. Mace, but he was promptly ex-
posed in the following letter, published in the
Lafayette (Indiana) Courier, an Old Line Dem
ocratic paper:
CRAwToRDsvnLE, FEB. 81, 1884.
Editor Courier. have to inform you that
Wing, in Democratic clothing, signing himself
g A Democrat has been successfully playing
upon the credulity of the State Sentinel in the
matter of Major Mace's position relative TO
the proposed repeal Of the Missouri Compro-
mise. Please inform your readers that this
fellow who signs himself "A Democrat in the
Sentinel, is well known here, and is an old
out-and-out Wing, and hopes by
this base and anonymous means to distract the
Democratic party Of this Congressional Dis
trict. As far as know, Major Mace's course
Is generally, may say unanimously, approved,
with the exception Of few Office seeking todeys,
who think that the repeal Of the Missouri
is certainly an administration
Whit will these poor todeys do,
when they come to learn that Franklin Pierce
is in no ,ody committed IN favor Of Douglass
bill? A REAL DEMOCRAT.
Indiana is not one Of our most enlightened
States, and il will require time to make her
citizens fully understand what the Slavery
Propagandists are about but they are begin
ming to suspect that something is wrong.
II is rather remarkable to see Asa Fowler,
late law partner Of the President, and John P
Hale cooperating in one meeting for the de-
feat of the Nebraska Bill Mr.. Fowler and
his friends doubtless intend to make the i'm
preston that the Bill is not an issue in the
canvass now going on in New Hampshire.
The Southern adhercnts Of the Administer
ton care nothing for all THE provided the State
