We have received an invitation from the
appropriate Committee, to attend Public
Dinner to be given at New Albany next
Fourth of July, ia commemmoration OF the
connection between New Albany and Mich
igan City by continuous line of railway.
A very general invitation has been given, and
large crowd is anticipated. We have no
doubt the Celebration will be an honor to the
great enterprise it is intended to commemor-
ate and to the city in which it will be held
II would certainly afford Us sincere pleasure
to be able to attend. We hope Evansville
will be well represented on the ocsasion.

II appears that the unlimited confidence
expressed by some Northern Nebraska pa
pers, that by no possibility can Nebraska or
Kanzas become slave Territories and ulti.
mately slave States, he's not exactly secure
foundation. They have made this a strong
argument with which to quiet the feelings Of
those who witnessed with indignation the pas.
sage of a law, which is calculated TO extend
slave territory where it had been forever
prohibited by another law, agreed upon BY
the North and South In spirit Of confidence.
It may now be perceived, that the people Of
several Southern States are making every
effort at Kanzss, it being their nearest neigh.
Dor, to secure slavery as its prominent insti.
tuition. The st. Louis papers especially
have contained notices Of meetings held in
different portions of Missouri, having for their
object the formation Of emigrant parties OF
shareholders with their negroes, to settle
Kanzas. The following extracts from the
proceedings of large meetings held at West
port and Independence, Mo give fair idea
Of the spirit with which these men are going
to work. Our opinion now is, that Nebraska
will ever remain free territory, but Kanzai
10 doomed to slavery.
The preamble of the Westport Resolutions
thus introduces them:
That having heard of organizations in the
Northern States having for their object tbs
colonization of The new territories with East
ern anu Foreign paupers. in order TO deter
Slave emigration from the Southern States
and being resolved to seek fortune in Kanza'
and to take with them all their property o
euery description, and being determined to hols
and erjoy It by peace or force,
Resolved, That we will carry with US int
the new Territory Of Kanzas, every specie.
of property, including Stares, and that W.
will hold and enjoy the same; that we desr,
; to do SO peacefully, and deprecate any neces
sity for resorting to violence in support o
!, our just and lawful rights; yet, Tin no spiri
Of brapado and with the strongest wish fo
; peace) apprehensive of interference with on
private and domestic concerns by certain
! organized bands who are TO be rrecipita tee
upon US, we notify all such, that our pu-pos,
is firm. to enjoy all cur rights, and to NEE
with the last argument all who shall in an,
way infringe upon them.
RESOLVED, Tha, we recommend TO our Eel
low citizens of Missouri and Arkansas, NOR,
especially of the border counties, to organize
with these ends in view; and to each an,
: every man who feels an interest in the dee
tiny OF the future State of Kanzas; to be oil
: the alert that we may avail ourselves Of tn
great advantages which contiguity Of tn
, new territory at once gives 10 us, and entitle

tons of the future State in accordance wit
those of our own, and thus guarantee for tn
future good neighbor and firm friend, uni

CONGR ESSlONAL.

BRIGHT vs.. PETrIr.-The Washington
correspondent of the Philadelphia North
American and United States Gazette says:--
"There has been general return of the sb
sentees. Among others whose non-attend-
ance has been noticed, Mr.. Bright OF Iudi
ana, has returned from pilgrimage among
his constituents. He says the case of his
colleague is desperate. He thinks he might
possibly. with judicious pilotage, have wealth
cred Nebraska, but his denunciation of the
sacred Democratic maxim of the Declaration
Of Independence" as "self evident les"
has done his business. To the same effec,
is the testimony OF the anti-Nebraska leader
in the House, Mr. Mace. Mr.. Mace is q
protesting Methodist, and with the fervid
quantness of his sect, he has declared, after
a diligent exploration of the most determined
Democratic Districts, that Pettit might a.
well hope 10 be saved without grace as tc
return to the Senate after his recent apos.
tacy.

~ 1t seems that the whole mass of the
New York Softs, who, as our readers know,
are one-half Of the Democratic party of that
State, are hostile TO the Nebraska law. The
New York National Democrat. an organ of
the Hards, speaking of the Softs, says:
Nor can it with much truth be said thu At

there is now and then an office-holder, who,
like John Cochrane, pretends to be in favor
OF the principle, in order to keep his office.
But everybody knows that not one Of them
is honest. And the best Ct the joke is that
they do all this cheating gratu. tousy, for
there is no danger of their being turned out.
The great majority Of federal cf6ce.holders
in this State are rank Abolitionists. Marcy

them. and there is no danger OF their being
