ponents of the infamous Nebraska Bill, from
Douglass down to his humblest imitation in
this city and State, who SO loudly proclaim

have just entered our city. They were pre-
ceded by the Westport and independence
Brass Bands.-They came in at the west
side of the public square, and proceeded en-

fine music and the emigrants with good news.
Immediately following the bands were about
two hundred horsemen in regular order; fol-

such an outrage upon decency, principle and
law, will receive the approval of an honest
heart in the whole country! And yet was il
