After the organization OF the meeting
haabeen effected, A w. HoLLrsrrB, Esq,
OF R~sllevioH; appeared in behalf Of the

speeeh. expressed his deep felt sorrow
that the sfsfe If bis health tsas such as to
exclude him from the opportunity now
presented, Of appearing before the poo
pie Of Nebraska, which it would have
afforded him the greatest pleasure TO have
done, fhis health had permitted. Mr.. II.
concluded his brief remarks in behalf Of
the people, expressive OF their sympathy
with the Governor in the ailic,ion with
which he had been visited, and which had
deprived them Of an opportunity Of hear
Ing his voice and Of giving him that hearty
welcome which his presence and speech
would have called forth. Mr.. II. con-
cluaed with touching expression Of hope
that the malady with which he had been
seized, would soon be removed, and that
his customary health would be restor-
ed, and that he would soon become
fitted in body and mind TO attend to the
duties Of the high station he has been ap-
pointed 70 Gil.
Coz. S%HARPE, Of Iowa, being called
upon, remarked: "That the duy Of max
ing an introductory speech, having been
assigned him, he feIt somewhat embarras-
sed under the unexpected circumstances
il which he found himself situated"
The Governor not being able % appear
before the people; lie would briefly remark,
that the organization Of Nebraska, had
long been ~anxiously sought FOR, by the
citizens OF Western Iowa, and he r~ejoiced
in The prospect, that such an organization
appeared 10 be near at hand.
Rev. VIZ. HAzILToz, Of The Oios
and Omaha Mission, being called for, came
forward and made a brief, but eloquent
speech, referring the unhappy disappomt-
ment with which the people had been Wis
lied On this occasion, to an uncomfortable
Providence 70 whose decisions it was fl
ting we should manifest a cheerful resig-
nation.
Among the duties which as a citizen
lie felt il incumbent on him 70 urge upon

harmonious spirit; a disposition to respect
each others rights, AMI to maintain the au-
Of universal righteousness, upon
every mans peace, safety and bap-
depends.

We never regarded the bill organizing
Kansas and Nebraska, after the amend
msnt repeating The Missouri Compromiss
was adopted, in any other light than fork
ed tonrued. The bin was advocated and
supported by the North because slavery
was dealt one Of the hcayies, blows that
it has ever received from any Legislative

by the slavery proPograndis's because, il
dealt a heavy blow to freesoiIsm, and cs-
tablished slavery where it had been pro-
hibi,ed for over thirty ycsrs,-the North
and South supporting the bill for opposite
reasons. Whether the freesoilers OF the
North or nuiliiers of the South are cor
