The Enquirer, taking its cue from the
Louisville Democrat, denies that Douglass
used this language. If it be mistake, then
Democratic, Pierce paper, is responsible fol
it. A New Hampshire paper and strong
supporter of Pierce, said Douglas had uset
that language in his Chicago speech. The
Louisville Democrat denied it, but hadn't

Old Fogyi.m aud Young Amcric,

We challenge the newspaper press OF the
West to exhibit greater old fogy than our
neghbor of the Enquirer. Who would ex-
pect to find in this day of progress, of tele.
graphs and railroads, when old things are be-
ing left behind and new ones seized-the
head Of a paper, of daily paper, and that pa
per in one Of the fastest cities in the West,
depending entirely on the wonderful mail IA
cilities of the Pierce administration, and on
the enterprise and liberalty Of other publish
ers, for ne,rs, VIXEN this same city has tele-
graph connexon with almost every city in
the United States. Is there more striking
illustra ton of old fogyism in the whole West
ern Daily press! Not having enterprise, in
dustry and liberality enough to take telegraph
dispatches, he is actually endeavoring to run
down the whole system, by pointing out &C.
casional errors in dispatches! AS if there
were airy system of communication in the
world, between man and man, and especially
between men separated by distance, not sub.
ject to the fault of errors! But what a terrible
task has this old fogy neighbor undertaken
to crush the telegraph system, because he
wants to publish paper at this day without
taking telegraph dispatches!
What an amusing time his readers must
have, in tramping along with him behind the
age-oPening their eyes with astonshmen,
at items Of news, which the patrons Of the
Journal read one, two or three days before
have fully discussed and half forgotten! We
hope they may receive enough enjoyment il
the occasional discovery Of an error in the
Journals dispatches, to repay them for crop
ing along in the dark behind their neighbors
and reading stale news to which the editor o
the Enquirer is indebted to the enterprise an,
liberality of his Louisville contemporaries ant
occasional stealiDgs from the Evansvi.l,
Journal.

Speech OF Mr. Seward I'm OQposttiSn 20
lhe Nebraska Bill.

WARRINGTON, Feb. II.
SENATE.-After two private bills bad been
passed, the Senate took up the Nebraska
BILL
Mr.. Seward made long and most able
speech in answer to Mr.. Badger. He said
the honorable and very acute Senator from
North Carolina, (Mr. Badger0 has wooed us
most persuasively to waive our objections to
the new principle, as it is called, of non-in-
tervention, by assuring us that the slavehol.
ders can only use slave labor where the soils
Of climates favor the culture of cotton, tobac-
CO. rice and sugar, to which reply none Of
them End there congenial soils, or climates
at the sources ofthe Mississippi, or in the
valley of the Rocky Mountains. Why then
does he want to remove the nhabitation
there! But again the Senator reproduces the
pleasing fiction of the character Of Slavery
from the Jewish history, and asks why not al
low the modern patrarchs to 60 into the new
regions with themselves as their ancient pro-
totypes did to make them more comfortable
and happy; and lac tells us at the same time,
this indigency will not increase the numbers
Of the slaves. | reply by asking first, wheih-
er slavery has gained or lost strength by the
diffusion of it over larger surface then it for
merly covered. Will the Senator answer
that!
Secondly, quite admire the simplicity OF
the patriarch times, but they nevertheless ex
hibiled some peculiar institutions quite
| in congruous with modern republicanism,
not to say christianity: namely, that Of
latitude of the construction Of the marri-
age contract, which has been carried by
one class of the so called patriarchs. into
Utah. Certainly no one would desire to extend
that peculiar institution into Nebraska.
Thirdly, The slave holders have also Pc
culiar Institutions which make them polite
al patriarchs. They reckon five oftheir slaves
, as equal to three freemen in forming basl:
of (etera representation. II these patrlarch'
insist upon carrying their institutions into
rnew regions north Of So degrees thirty mill
: utes, respectfully submit they ought to re
sumo the modcsty of their Jewish predeces

their system. They thus seek to extend; vii
they do that!
! He closed at half past three. At that par

cies," and self contradictions" contained il
the papers of the Committee of Territories
had destroyed all claims of respect for them
there was applause in the gallery.
Mr.. Petit got the floor, and sad he woul
speak Monday.
Mr. Sumner said also that he desired Il

REJECTION OF SAUNDERs.-Then nomination
of Geo. N. Saunders as Consul to Liverpool
was rejected by the U. s. Senate last week
by vote of 30 to 10. His rejection is said
to be the result of the publication in the news
papers, of letters written to them for that pur.
pose, and which tended to place Us in an en-
barrassing relation with other powers. He
lost all the good " ill of"Old Fogyism" by
the merciless career he pursued in his Reuiec

Where the Mistake. belongs.

Louisville papers, contain more mistakes than

ally set up late at night from manuscript

the stolen dispatches, not counted, were the

We apologize to our readers for noticing such
subjects as this, but we have done it in mere
defence. We are aware our neighbor can't
help it if he is nearly as miserable printer
as he is editor, and therefore should not twit
him on the subject-but he has compelled US
/ to do it.
