Powers will dissent positively.
Russia makes the same demand on Sweden
as she made on Prussia-that Of closing her

The reply was not known.
England and France have requested Dem

States 1t will be strange indeed, if after such
iterated expressions of disapproval from the
people, elsewhere as well as here, the House of
Representatives persist in their determination
to enact the Nebraska bill If they do, they
may rest assured, and we say this after calm
reflection upon the popular temper as display
cd at these meetings, they will, hereafter, have
to give place to men who will be instructed to
make q firm stand for the Wilmot Proviso, or
some equivalent, in every subsequent admis-
sion Of territory, 10 as to ne1tralze the effect
Of this breach Of public faith. And their num-
bers will be adequate to the task"
To give full force and effect to such demon
stratons, care should be taken, in every case
where public meeting is held on this subject
to supply every member Of the Senate and
House Of Representatives with copy Of the
paper in which the proceedings are published,
the report being marked, SO IA to draw atten-
ton to it. In this way, tho game of the Pro-
Slavery press in Washington may be eFectually

A CALM SURVEY.
From the Phil. Friends Inteliigencer.I
THE NEBRASKA BILL.

Nothing has occurred, for many years. 80
well adapted to show the encrOaching nature
Of that spirit which has subjected the weak to
its own purposes, and desires to perpetuate its
dominion by continual accessions Of power In
1887, the act Excluding Slavery from our North
western Territory was passed by tho confedcr-
ated States and subsequently il was confirm
ed by the first Congress under the new Con-
stitution. BY that act the whole Territory
then belonging to the United States was dodl-
Gated to Freedom.
In 1920, after violent struggle, q part Of
the territory acquired from France was, by the
Missouri Compounds act, given up to Slavery;
but in oil that portion Of it lying north of SO
deg. 80 min north latitude, Slavery was for
ever prohibitedn
IN 1850 the Compromise; Measures were eff.
fected, including the Fugitive Slave Law, by
which the citizens Of the free States, If legally
called on to assist in the recaptnre of fugitive
slaves are subjected to heavy penalties for re-
fnsing to comply.
And now, in 1854, it is proposed to repeal
the Missouri Compromise act, in order that
Slavery may find admittance into the vast Ter
ritory of Nebraska once dedicated to Freedom
At the present juncture, the question seems
to be presented, What can be done by the
members Of our religious society to arrest this
retrograde movement, and to advance the
noble principles maintained by our fathersa
We know that denunciation and invective are
in vain They only tend to arouse the angry
passions, and to drown the still small voice
that ever pleads for Justice and mercy, even in
the breast Of the oppressor. We,have not re-
linqushcd our conviction that Divine Provi-
dence will open way for the relief Of the
oppressed millions who are condemned to unre-
Quilted toll shut out from the benefits Of edn-
cation, and liable to be separated from the
dearest objects Of their affections. But the
Most High often makes use Of human instru-
mentality to promote his own benefcent pur-

HON. oERR1r SMITH ON TEMPERANCE.

This eloquent advocate of the best interests
of man, in compliance with formal invitation,
addressed a large asscmblagc Of ladies and
gentlemen at Temperance Hall, in this city,
last evening. He spoke words Of wisdom and
Of hearty good will, and appeared to re- awaken
the fervor of the many friends Of the temper
ancc cause in this community.
MIR. SHELTON, Of New Jersey, also addressed
the meeting impressively and effectively.

WHAT PATIENT INDUSTRY CAN Do!-We
have read, with pleasure, q statement by re-
cent traveller, to the effect that the German
settlements in Western Texas are models Of
good order and industrial thrift They were
very poor when they arrived at their present
home, from Germany, which was in the dead
Of winter; yet, in season Of unusual scarcity
of provisions, they mastered tho obstacles Of
poverty and want and now are comfortably
settled, while not q few have accumulated little
fortunes. They are said also to DO gradually
becoming Americanized. But this Of conrsc,
for all their children will be Americana. This
is bond and guarantee if we had no other.

boy are, to-day, going from door to door, ask-
ing aims. The boy has his jaws bandagsd,
and states that he has the "gnmpsn The

All our readers we know viii rejoice to

from Dover to the Legislature of New Hamp-
shire. We hail his return to public life, not
the less because we are under obligations for
this event to the labors of Senator Douglas

happily exerted than in selecting as its repre-
sentatives, men of the class represented by

THE ASPECT oF EUROPE.

The leading fact Of the news by the Arabia,
is the accession Of Austria. and the probable
accession Of Prussia, to the League of the West
ern Powers. That Austria has joined France
and England against Russia, can no longer be
doubted since Napoleon expressly affrms It III
his speech at the opening Of the French legls-
lativc body and that Prussia viii follow suit
is highly probable from her manifest unwil-
lingness to comply with the Cars demands,
and close her ports to the allies, and from the
permission she has given her officers in the
Turkish service to remain there This then, is
equivalent to the addition of the greater part
if not all, of the Germaaic States to the League,
and leaves the Gar alone to contend against
united Europe. This union isobviously the true
policy of all the Western Powers, for it must
greatly abbreviate the duration of the war,
which they all dread, and free them all from
the preponderance Of domineering neighbor
and rival whom they al fear. Besides, it re-
lieves them, at least in great measure, from
the immediate danger Of revolutionary convul-
sions at home, which otherwise as q matter OF
necessity must be dreaded by Austria, especial
~ if ON the Russian side, as part of the hos
tile policy Of the allies. Her joining the latter
puts an entirely new face upon the whole ques-
ton It renders the humiliation of Russia
much more certain, and at The same tinle SETS a
nea0 seal 10 The downfaN Of Tie Ottoman Poaoey

Sarvia, AS our report states she is about to do,

any rate, ii Turkey does not now expire her

the conclusion Of the war.
New York Tribune.
Verify, Turkey will at last have little cause
to thank her protectors, if the above predic-
tions shall prove true. But the spirit Of the
disciples Of the Greek Church in Turkey, and
Of the republicans in Europe, has been under
rated, or we greatly err. Kossuth, Mazzini,
and their European sympathizers, are not
going to the fields of warfare between the Cross
and the Crescent Their field Of conflict has
long been chosen, and their energies and re-
sources will be reserved for battles in the cause
Of Liberty They love. neither the naughty
and imperious Gar nor the voluptuous and de-
graded Moslem Indiscreet extrayagant and

mentality. We look with hope for the devel-

THE STATUE OF WASHING ION.

The model in plaster Of Houdon's Washing
ton may now be seen in the Rotunda Of the
Capitol, where it has been placed by Mr. Hub
bard to whom, we are informed, the Legisla-
ture Of Virginia has given the exclusive priv.
lege, for seven years, Of making copies from the
original, in the Capitol of that State.
We admire this statue above all the other
representations that have ever bcen made Of
Washington, because ii IS like him.
The following is from the Sentinel Of this
morning;
aWith regard to the correctness of the mar

Sparks, that to spectator standing ON the
