Z lit is confidently asserted in ma
ny quarters that Douglass Nebraska bill
will pass both Houses easily. About the
Senate no doubt appears to be entertain
cd in the House, the South is said to be
unanimously in its favor, and thcinhucnce
of the administration is counted good for
fifty northern votes, which will make Il
handsome majority Of the whole number.
Judging from the indications there never
was more unanimous sentiment on any
subject, than there is now in the north. in
opposition to this bill. Nineteen-twen-
tets Of the press oppose it, and Of those
which favor it, it is no eXaggcration to
say that nine out Of ten of them are di-
rectly or indirectly dependent upon the
administration. We doubt whether there
is. in the whole Free States single Con-
gressional District in which the popular
sentiment is not opposed to this Nebras-
ka bill; and yet, notwithstanding all this
it is very probably that. as surmised, fifty
northern Congressman may be found to
go for it, and thus pass it. This should
open the eyes of the People to the ten
denotes of their Government. The chief
feature of the Presidency is now the dis
pensation of gifts, and Congress is little
less than huge assemblage Of beggars
for themselves, relatives. or friends, of
these gifts at the Presidential hand. The
People allow themselves to revolvc only
within the party wheel-the Caucus die
tatcs the candidate, and bowling in hum
BILE submission to the Caucus. the candi-
date is elected. He has no merit and
knows it-feelS little responsibility to the
people. and calculates to make the most
he can out Of his office. Hence the abase-
ment of the whole machinery of our go
vernment. and hence it is calculated that
at least fifty northern Congressman are
for sale in the Washington shambIes.
If the success of Douglass bill and the
denominations generally, of our public
functionarics, shall succeed in opening
the eyes of the People to their own short
comings, they will not have been entire
" mischievous.

THE INVENTOR OF RAILROADS.
"About half century ago, the exact
year is not known, there was born in
Leeds, England, a man named Thomas
Gray. Scarcely anything is known of
his early history. He was we believe,
apoor collier; and being very ingenious,
he conceived the idea of facilitating the
transportation Of coal from middle-town
colliery of Leeds, a distance Of 3 miles,
by means of sort Of railway which he
constructed of wood. Upon this the cars
moved at the rate of three and halt
miles an hour, TO the great merriment of
a wise and discriminating public, who
laughed at the idea of a railway us some
thing very visionary, aud rs the mere
suggestion Of laziness. Poor Gray
thought otherwise. Magnificent visions
of future railways, such rs are now stu
pendous realities, doomed up before him,
and he began TO talk in public Of a:gen
eral system of iron railroads. He was,
Of course, laughed at, and declared a
visionary, moon struck fool. But the
more Graycontemplated his little railway
for coal, the more firmly did he believe
in the practicability and immense use
fulness Of his schemes. He saw in it all
that is now realized, and he resolved in
spite of the ridicuIe, the sneers and re
buhs that were heaped upon him, to
prosecute his undertaking. He petition
ed the British Parliament, and sought
interviews with all the great men Of the
kingdom; but all this had no effect, eX-
cept to bring down upon him, wherever
he went, the loud sneers and ridicule of
all classes. Still he persevered and at
length engaged the attention Of men of
intelligence and influence who finally
embraced his views, urged his plans, and
the grand result is now before the world.
Thomas Gray, the inventor Of railroads,
who not longer ago than 1920, was
laughed at for ever mentioning the idea.
still lives in Exeter, England, in the full
realzrtion Of his grand and noble rail
road schemes, for which he was declared
insane. How much has the world been
benefited by his insanity!

Without Excuse

Let the people OF the Nation be
asked if Slavery is right, and seventy-five
per cent. of the whole number viii an
swer in the negative. Let them be ask
ed if it is even pecuniarily profitable, as
compared with other labor, and the res
ponse viii be the same. Ask again, if
there is any point Of view in which it is
desirable, and still we have the same ne
gative response. 1t curses the soil on
which it is planted; it corrupts and des-
troys the moral power of the people who
cherish it; it paralyzes every branch of
industry with which it comes in contact;
it shuts up school-houses, vacates pulpits,
imbrutes social life. checks human pro-
gress in every department and resolves
light from every quarter into darkness.
Virginia was once the first state in the
Union, and none other compared with her
in physical advantages. Her greatness
has departed. From the mother of Pre-
sidents she has become the Mother of
Slaves, and a scott and by-word, and her
condition and history are that of every
slave state compared with the free states.
/ These facts are written in letters flight
I all over the face of the land. Every man,
woman, and child. knows them. And
1 yet what do we find?
/ Nebraska has an area sufficient to make
five or six states as large as Ohio, and a
capacity to sustain many millions of po-
pulation. This soil has thus far been
guarded and protected against the curse
which has paralyzed the southern states.
1t has thus far been saved to freedom and
a free people, yet it is now sought to
spread this desolating influence all over
it. Language is really inadequate to pro-
perly characterize this crime. We are
not dealing in fiction or fancy, when we
express our conviction that as yet the
world has never in all its history, har-
bored so great an enemy to humanity, as
is the man who projects this scheme
Cities destroyed are soon rcbuilt-the
human life sacrificed by cruelty or am
bition is soon replaced bya new growth
but here we have proposition to spread
over the area of a nation, a slow, burning
consuming curse, which shall tester and
rot and rot and tester, till the whole coun-
try is involved and lost in its corruption
And this thing which every person hates
! which no person wants. and which those
afflicted with would be glad to be rid of
is thus sought to be extended. without
the least possible excuse or necessity fol
the movement.
The Missouri Compromise has stood
for thirty-four years and no person even
asked or expected its repeal. 1t is d
most wicked and shameless attempt of a
wicked man to sell the liberties Of his
country to crafty his own ambition
and if such treason nowadays were es-
! teemed as in the days Of Arnold, it would
meet with Il similar fate.

81 The following are the resolutions
which have passed the Assembly, on the
subject therein alluded to. In the SEN
ate they have been referred to a Com
mittee composed of Hunter of Milwaukee,
Dunn of Lafayette, and Vittum of Sank,
and if the character of the Committee is
any evidence of what may be expected,
they will never see the light again:
WHEREAS, The measure commonly
known as the Missouri Compromise, has
been regarded as a sacred agreement for
more than thirty years by the people OF
these United States-its binding obliga-
tons having been repeatedly acknowl-
edged by the most prominent Statesmen
of our country, both North and South,
therefore,
Rcso'red, BY the Assembly, the Sen
ate concurring, that any alteration, mod
ilication, or repeal of the Missouri Com
promise, would be unjust and detrimen-
tai to the best interests of the people
and calculated to weaken and impair
the fabric of our government, by a fresh
renewal ofthose agitations which intlmes
past haue threateneda dissolution ofthe
Union.
Resolped, That our Senators and Rep
resentatives in Congress be urgently re-
quested to use all Constitutional endeav-
ors to prevent the passage of any bill
which may permit the introduction OF
establishment Of slavery within the ter
ritory of Nebraska, or other free terrific
ry belonging to the United States.
Resoloed, That His Excellency, the
Governor, is hereby requested to furnish
copies of the foregoing resolutions to
each of our Senators and Representatives
in Congress.

I; The Madison Argus says, the
Senate will not reccde from its action at
taching a submission clause to the Pro
hibitory Liquor Bill, so if the Assembly
refuses to concur the bill will be lost. We
do not think another submission of the
question is required by any consideration
whatever; nevertheless rather than lose
the bill, if it comes to that, We should
hope the friends in the Assembly would
recede. The force of such bill depends
entirely on the popular sentiment of the
State, and it is not impossible that the
effect of another discussion before the
People will be all the better for the final
triumph of the measure.

harnessed, the foremost pair come to

The pntnra.

A Washington correspondent Of the
New York gossrnaIof Commerce speaks
freely of the general scheme of policy of
the Slavery propagandists, as follows:
at is objected to the Mebrask blll that
it will establish principle of extensive
application, and will invoke the applica-
ton Of the same provisions to Oregon
and Washington. Certainly Il rW.
That is ats main object. The principle
was established in 1850, now it will be
confirmed in 1854. Next year it viii
be declared that The Ordinance ?f1787
as inoperative, and that the Slavery res
olution in the Oregon bill, which Mr..
Polk hesitatingly signed, is superseded.
"Therefore, if Slavery be universal
necessity, 1t aoH be allo'eed universally
to prevail. But, probably it will be
found that its limits will befixed by eli
mate and conmerce-by laws above the
action of Congress.
"The political effect of the passage Of
this bill will be important, and, on the
whole, highly favorable. 1t will put an
end to the old parties, and 'crush out
coalition of the Democracy. II ctH or
gaRize parties into divisions, and botl
Of them based on tie Siagery question
"0ne party will be the Non-Interven
ton party, and the other the Abolition
party. 1t is not quite certain which
will prevail. But the struggle is, a
length, seriously begun. All that ha
ever happened on this question, all the
combats from 1920 down were mer
child's play in comparison with what "
shall see next Fall, and next year, ano
for three years to come. There e0W b
no compromises. The old ones will b
