Anti-Nebraska Democratic Address.


The address Of Messrs. James Maurice
John Wheeler, Jared V. Peck, Rufus
w. Peckham and Andrew Oliver, Hard
Shell and Anti-Nebraska Democratic
Representatives from New York, defend
ing their course to their constituents, is
an interesting document. 1t made a
great hattoring among tho Democracy at
Washington on its appearance. 1t is Of
course severe blow upon thcAdministra
ton party in the Empire State. The prin-
cipal points in justification of their votes
against the Nebraska bill are the follow
ing
1t was not the bill originally reported
to the Senate
1t was urged through by tyrannical
exercise of power on the part of the ma
jority
On the llth October, 1852, excepting
those in government employ, there were
only three white settlers in all Of Kan
sas and Nebraska. Consequently, there
was no necessity for such hurry with
the bill
The Indian titles are not extinguishod
il said Territories
The new Territorial governments will
confer additional patronage upon Gen
Pierce, and against this our five Hard
Shells enter an explicit remonstrance.
The bill violates the Baltimore demo
cratic platform Of 1852, and the Com
promise measures of 1850, and Gen.
Pierce violates his inaugural
The bill is calcullted to revive mis-
chievous agitation. \
President Polk, Pinckney, Douglas.
Atchison and other democratic authori-
ties, are largely quoted to provo the
Missouri Compromise binding COM
pact.
The five refractory hards declare that
they have reason to believe that tho re-
peal of tho Missouri restriction is but the
first of a series of measures for building
up powerful Southern sectional party,
to be headed by the President.

During the time of our stay, Mr.. Jus

Bucks shcarcd, one yielding 7 lbs, the
other l4l lbs. of fleece, the carcasses of.
ter shearing weighing sevorally II, and
1913 lbs. Mr. Hiram Hall shearcd from
a French ycarling owo. which has a good
lamb, 10 lbs . OF. The report Of the
committee on sheep has not come to
hand, so that We are unable to give fur.
Their particulars in relation to other
sheep that were sheared after we left
but shall probably be posted in the mat
ter for our next issue.
HORSES We noticed in particular
tho beautiful sorrcl Stallion belonging to
Mr.. Doty Of Salisbury, one Of Old Black
Hawks colts, three years old. To our
taste he was the finest horse on the
ground, and our opinion was confirmed
by better judges than we. A dark bay
four year old, Of Mr.. Suuderland's, Of
Bridport, attracted considerable atten.
ton on account Of his compact build,
and graceful carriage.
L. p. Stage, of Panton, exhibited a
chestnut Black Hawk three years old
that was much admired. Vorgcnncs

noticed span of chestnut mares driven
by Mr.. Howe of Bridport. A span OF

good grooming. Mr.. N. A. Saxton drove
a good pair of nearly black, solid farm
horses. such as reflect credit upon their
keeper, by their prime condition.

INDIANA-A correspondent Of the
New York Tribune states that the pas.
sage of the Nebraska bill and the action
of the Democratic State Convention, in
reading out Of tho party all who will not
sanction that iniquity, are creating a
great commotlon in the ranks of tho
heretofore impregnablo Democratic par
ty of the State.
Major Daniel Mace, the Representa-.
tive in Congress from the Lafayette dis,
trict, made speech in that place on
Monday evening last, in which he expos.
ed and denounced the villainy of the
late action of Congress. The Court
House hall in which the meeting was
held, was filed to overlooking. Mark
Jones, Esq, prominent and influential
Democrat, presided. Two more staunch
Democrats acted as Vice President and
Secretary, and another was Chairman Of
the Committee on Resolutions The re.
solutions were Of the right stamp, and
express the sentiments of large major
ity of the voters of the State. They re-
commend united action on the part of the
opponents Of tho Nebraska swindle, and
this plan is looked upon with favor by
Wings, Independent Democrats and
Free Sellers
Major Mace also delivered a speech
at indianapolis on "Wednesday evening,
where he was listened TO by still larg-
err audience than he had al Lafayette,
and the same determination was evinced
to rebuke tho Democratic party for en-
dorsing the foul wrong which has been
done to the North.
The intelligence from all parts of the
