monstrate against the passage Of any bill for
the organization of Nebraska, providing, d.
rectly or indirectly, for the repeal Of said Com
promise, or any part thereof.
PRINCETON, ILL, FEB. Is, 1854.
To the Editor Of the National Era
Having circulated romonstrance in this
community against the repeal Of the Missouri
Compromise to which some three hundred sig
natures were obtained, met with but two in
divduals who were unwilling to sign, and
met with no one who was disposed to justify
the measure. Mr.. Douglas is politically dead
in Northern Illinois; and any party sustaining
his measures will die with him.
We take the liberty Of copying paragraph
from letter Of Judge Wilmot, just received
by us-Ed. Era.
" Be assured that Bradford county and this
Congressional district is fully prepared for the
coming conflict with the Slave Power and it's
profigate allies The passage of the bill Of
Douglas should the conspiracy 80 far succeed
will be but the commencement Of the struggle;
the end of which, in my Judgment, will be the
final and signal overthrow Of the Slave Power
Some outrage like this could alone arouse the
People Of the free States to full realization
Of the overwhelming power Of Slavery in this
Government and to the enormity oil its de-
mandso
A CHANGE OF SENTMEET.--The New York
Tribune says:
Senator Petit Of Indiana, in 1883, de-
clared, 4 am devoted to Free Soil and Free
Labor and no vote Of NINE shall, knowingly,
ever be given TO pollnte the one or Cypress the
other with Slavery. That Congress has the
power to prohibit the introduction Of Slavery
into the Territories, where it does not exist
must be clear to every one who has investiga-
ted the subject and is capable Of reasoning
I" But Senator Petit was not then Senator
he only ,oanttd to be- Now he ia with long
lease Of Office ahead, aud knowledge that for
any farther advancement he must look 10 Vir-
ginia more than TO lndiana--so he declares in
favor Of Douglass BILL and against the right
Of Congress which was 30 clear 10 his view u
few years ago. Such is the consistency OF dem.
agogues-such the integrity Of self seeking pol
iticians
The DIPLOMATIC DREss--Mr. John Nj.
Daniel, the American Charge at Turin does
not conform to the prescribed court drees. The
Tribune has an extract from n letter written
by Mr.. Daniel, dated January 27, which thus
defines his position 10 that country:
al have put myself to great deal Of trouble
about this very thing, because wished 10 es.
tablish the freedom OF tho dress here for all
future Charges and after delay OF several
months was the other day presented TO the
King Of this country in suit Of plain black,
which have often worn in Richmond. Mt
tended the first court ball OF this season in the
same dress, and these are the only times have
appeared ut court at all Since then have
received an intimation that it would be esteem
cd the civil thing if would hereafter adopt
uniform and a. do not wish either to do 30
or to appear unoiyil, the probability il that
shall keep away from the palace hereafter as
much as etiquette will allow mo-
THE DESTINY or CHINA-Dr. Bowring, the
eminent Eastern traveller, in n lecture lately
delivered in London, on the eve OF his departure
for the East took occasion to say that In his
opinion, the empire of China was destined 10
fulfil great mission, by the emigration that
was nov going on from thence through all the
Eastern nations Such was the population Of
China that there was not foot Of il scarcely
but what was cultivated. Snch was the over
population, in fact that notwithstanding the
most violent interdicts against emigration, it,
surplus streams ware OVERLOOKING the countries
Of the East. In the Island OF Java he found
25 600; in the Islands Of the Indian Archipela-
20, there were not less than 10000 Chinese
whilst in San Francisco, there had been settled
$4,000 more; and great numbers we're emf
grating to Australia, and the Islands Of Poly
nesia, or wherever there was q field OF labor
open to them. 1t appeared TO DO a Law OF
Providence that the superior races Of mankind
should supplant the inferior; and we saw IN
the progress of time, the inhabitants OK the
West India islands swept away--that the
Anglo Saxon population was invading and re-
moving The would not say Destroying tho red
Indian tribes OF America. 30 the Chinese race
was setting aside the Malay, in the same way
that they 1.-THE Malays) had set aside the Dyaks
Il Is stated that the daily receipts on the
Great Western lCansda) Railroad are over
$4,000. More freight is offered than the COM
pany is able 20 transport.
