PRoTEsT--D0N'T DELAY.

Every free man and woman in this nation should
rise up protestant, against the infamous outrage
proposed in the case Of Nebraska. Let some ono
in every town, village and school district, cory tho
following remonstrance write better one--seo
to it that every adult person within reach has q
chance to sign it, and then forward it 10 Congress.
Let the people make themselves heard. Let there
be no delay. Those men in Congress who intend
to nulify the solemn covenant with freedom and
spread the curse Of slavery over the immense ter
ritory Of Nebraska, will suffer nothing to lie lost in
default of their delay or inaeton. They will leave
no appliance untried to bring northern dough faces
to do their will. Let the people be equally vigilent
and industrious and they can yet control the mca-
sure. We are not wi hout hope.
To the Senate and House Of Reprsssntatirei in
Congress assembled.
The undersigned citizens of tho United States
and residents Of Coumbiana County in the state Of
Ohio and earnestly protest against the passage Of
the bill now before the Senate of tho u S. for
ganzing the Territory Of Nebraska, or against any
other bill which shall repeal or in any way impair
the guarantee of 1920 for the perpeuaton Of free
dom in that territory and also against the admis-
sion of any more slave territory to the Union.

ALAS FOR THE PooR ISDIAN.-The Tennessee
Legislature has under consideration a resolution
for the removal of the Creek Choctaw, Cherokee,
Chickasaw aud Seminole Indians, west Of the
Rocky Mountains.
Pray, why is this? What is it to Tennessee
that these poor indians have been permitted to
stop on this side the mountains? Tennessee join
ed with Georgia and Alabama twenty-five years
ago, in prosecuting and expelng these Indians
from the home of their ancestors. They were
successful. After resorting to expedients that
would shame savages, they succeeded in compelling
these long suffering and wronged red men, to leave
their houses and cultivated FARMS and pass beyond
the then borders of civilization. And now Ten
nessee, without any pecuniary interest in their
removal, demands that they be driven from their
new made homes to the boundary OF the Pacihc.
1t looks like persecution, without cause other than
very hatred of humanity. Shame on it.

RELIGIOUS LIBERTY.-A largo and respectable
meeting Of the citizens Of New York was held in
the Tabernacle ON Thursday evening, to consider
the bcct Of securing to American citizens abroad
the free exercise Of their religious opinions, with
out interference from the governments under which
They sojourned. The New York Tribune says;
In all catholic countries the most absurd jeal-
ousies and superstitiuns ON this subject abound,
and in many Of them no man stands fair chance
Of getting under ground after any Christian fashion
if lie has the misfortune to die in the Protestant
faith And what is still worse, he is not allowed
20 consult his own wishes tastes in regard to tho
kind or manner of public worship lac will have.
llo must conform To the dictates of the Catholic
Church in this respect or so without. TO very
many Of our citizens this is serious grievance,
though it never seems to have preyed upon the
yitas of our diplomatists. Iii most perposter-
GUS condition Of things, doubtless and deserving OF
universal condemnation. To endeavor TO remove
such disability is the province Of diplomacy and
we commend tle question 10 the Secretary OF State
and to all our Ministers abroad. The duty has
always been acknowledged by our Government
but has been very imperiectly discharged. Pres
dent Pierce has now favorable occasion to awak
his diplomatic corps to attention to this subject
And as We are not aware that those gentleman
now residing in Catholic countries have any speci
al business on hand. we earnestly invite their at
leutitn to tho subject"

IMPORTANT PROPOSITION.

Some two weeks since, DR.. TOWNSEND introduced
into the Senate Of Ohio, notice Of resolution
contemplating the amendment Of the State consti-
tuition, by striking out the words "phite" and
"md'e." Thus securing equally to all citizens Of
the state, the enjoyment of their rights, and pro-
lection therein, irrespective of sex or race.
The Solons who remodeled our Constitution
three years ago had before them the same propo-
sition. But so little regard had they for the prn-
ciplcs Of freedom which they had avowed in their
own previous work-so little did they regard just
ice, and so great was their veneration for what
they supposed the general opinions and prejudiccs
Of the people, that they refused to secure the
ifest rights Of their fellow mon and of their wives
mothers and daughters Nay more. Instead Of
securing them in the enjoyment of their rights,
they consented almost unanimously to rob them
of those rights, by the constitution ITSELF which
professcdly stands as their highest safeguard
When the vote was taken, there were found but
seuen, if we remember right in tho whole body,
who would recognize the right of the colored man
to self government, and only three who were
either just or chivalric enough to eonccde to wom-
en- the rights they claimed for themselves. Nay
masculine authority to make laws for the control
of woman, excluding entirely her voice in their
enactment or execution.
Of course a constitution, claiming to be the
especial guardian of liberty and equality, and ye
sanctioning such palpable njustice-making sucf
invdious and degrading distinctions, needs 10 b.
altered. 1t must be changed, if the people of Ohio
are at all under the control Of justice, or ever
common self respect.
| And it is high time the movement was made
Three years is long enough to submit in quiet tC
such constitutional wrong. We should agitate i
at once and thoroughly. tits the home cork whicl
abolitionists and woman's rights women and mel
should be at, at once and in earnest. Circulate
petitions for these otjccts-separately or combine,
as you please. Though of course everybody VIII
signs one should also the other, unless he woul'
be counted with the same class of inconsisten
persons who have in time past prated of humai
equality and self government and then disfran
chised one half the world Plus all the colored men
That is their equality. But it is not DIR. Towns
ends. lie has herocally moved in the work.
Whether in this democratic Legislature he ha
three, or none to back him, he will be firm. Lie
every one who is with him, show that he or she i
so, by signing petition for the purpose, and j
every other possible way. OF course, of Dem,
, cratic Legislature, squared and braced on tn
Baltimore platform, we could expect little. Bl
the action will be heathful and invigorating to III
/ people. So let it move along.

JoHS Mitchell has come out in defence Of his
position, addressing it to Henry Ward Becchcr.-
1t docs not help his position in the least He like
all his predecessors proves slave holding aud slave
whipping right from Noses the Prophets, and
Jesus-and slave catching is right according to
Paul-and wishing for plantations well stocked
with fat slaves, is but following the illustrous
footsteps of the American rcvoutionists, Wash
ington and Jefferson. The whole contains nothing
but the common stale arguments to which aboli-
tionists and slave holders have been accustomed
for score of years past. Nor is his style orig
inal or forcible as to entitlo it to publication.
The defence completes the evidence against the
man, and will fix him in his true position in the
estimation of all who appreciate the principles Of
liberty or have any consistent regard for their
establishment.

DOUGLASS NEBRASKA.

Let no member of Congress vote for Douglass
bill for Territorial government to Nebraska. II
any do, they had not better return to 0hio-mark

bill pass. How contemplate men do appear, when
they resolve at Baltimore against agitation Of the

politicians must that they alone have the right
to talk on that subject, and nobody else By such
