NEBRASKA.

We learn from a private letter from Wash
lngton, from O. Irresponsible aud reliable source
that there is great danger Of the repeal of the
Ordinance Of 1887, and the Missouri Compro-
MISE, by the passage Of the bill above referred
to. The bill is intended to convert Nebraska
into slave Territory; and unless the friends of
human freedom bestir themselves tho founda-
ton for another slave State will have been laid
before the close of tho present session of Con-.
gress.
The New York Free Sellers have sold out to
the South, and are bound by the terms of the
contract to aid them in introducing Slavery
into this new Territory, and indeed in TO any
other Territory where it is not now already es-
tabiished. Nothing can prevent Congress from
perpetrating the enormity Of opening the door
OF Nebraska to Slavery, but to arouse the peo
pie against it. and to bring public opinion to
bear upon members of Congress. The South
have accomplished all they intended by the
Compromise of 1850, and they have now no
further objection to the agitation of tho Slave
~ question-an their tdUoT Are the people of
Michigan prepared tamely to submit to
further extension of Slavery, and to see the

gress by petitions and through public meetings

NEBRASKA

The following call has been signed by many
OF our most respectable merchants, bankers,
Shippers, Nc, for city meeting to be held in
the tabernacle, on an evening not yet fixed to
protest against any act of Congress which shall
repeal or disturb the act known as the Mis-
sour Compromise, by which Slavery was for
ever excluded from all United States territory
lying north of the parallel Of SO dog. 80 min.
Among the signers are many who have been
conspicuous and Jealous in their support of the
Compromise Measures of 1850, and still are,
but who are not disposed to submit to infringe
ments OF that Compromise on the side of Sla-
very, any more than on that of Freedom.
Regarding the Compromise of 1920, rs well as
that Of 1850, as in the nature of solemn com.
pact between diverse sections and Earring in
terests, they are determined to insist on the
maintenance and fulflment Of both to the
letter. whether the attempt to override them
originate IN one quarter or another. We ask
those in Congress who are disposed to support
MIR. Douglass Nebraska bill, to ask the mem
beTs from this city who and whas are the men
whose names arc signed below:
NO INFRING EMENT or PLIGHTED FAITH No
VIOLATION OF THE MISSOURI coMPaoMIsEi
The merchants, mechanics and citizens, oil
New York generally, without distinction OF
party, who would preserve inviolate the Mis-
souri, Compromise, are invited to meet at the
Broadway Tabernacle, ON evening the
- OF January, to protest against the projec
now pending in the Senate of the United States
for the repeal of that section of the Missouri
act which forever prohibits Slavery in the Ter
ritories lying north of 36 deg 80 min. Signed

an actual misfortune for tho Union.
A German paper Of this city, which cannot
see farther than the nose of it's editor, in poll

Douglas report, and their organ at Washing

question will be brought to decision, namely
Whether Nebraska shall not be made slave
State by force at last. The Missouri Compro-
mise, this fundamental law of our State, upon
the determinations of which the stately exist
ence OF Missouri was founded, shall therefore be
overthrown-Slavery is to be extended north of

THE NORTH RALLYINa

There are encouraging indications that the
Northern people are being aroused by the mon
strous proposition 10 override the Missouri
Compromise by the cunningly devised provis-
ions of the Nebraska bill. Men Of all parties,
even men thoroughly pledged to either of the
Baltimore platforms, can consistently stand side
by side with the Free Democracy, in resisting
the proposition to admit Slavery into the Ne
braska Territory. We can all stand together
in resistance Of any proposition TO disturb the
provisions Of the Missouri Compromise We
are glad to see that the Wing .pers Of the
better sort are beginning TO take ground in "a
vor of Freedom, 80 far as TO stand by the Com
promise of 1920 There is no reason why every
Wing paper in the Union, and every Democrat
ic paper too which is not the paid turnkey of
the corrupt Washington politicians, should not
stand up against the infamous Nebraska bill of
Senator Douglas. The Portland advertiser,
the leading Wing organ in the State of Maine,
in the following article, shows distinctly where
the Maine Wings stand on the Nebraska ques-
ton:
I" 1t looks as if there is to be no concealment
in presenting the Slavery question, in regard to
Nebraska. Slavery grows holder as its condi-
ton grows more desperate. Senator Douglass
bill proposes in effect to repeal the Missouri
Compromise, by which it was provided that all
territory north Of SO deg. 30 min should be
free. Here is agitation = and, fortunately. this
time, there can be no doubt as to who are the
'agitatOrs,' and what object they have in view.
Slavery demands Government aid for extension.
Freedom asks for nothing but to be left in peace
This is the issue, clearly apd distinctly pre-
sented .D-Bost0n Common treGhh
