The Fayette Banner.

The Banner is very much grieved that we
should prefer the Boone county resolutions
to those passed by the Howard county meet
ing. We are sorry the Banner wont let us
be good southern man, and wants 10 crowd
us out of the "bold and undecided front" line

croachments of the North--,ce are uery sor-
RI, and shall 'crowd back" to keep our
place, when we have more leisure. Mean
time, with the Banners permission, we will
express preference for the Green county,
resolutions over either those Of Howard or
Boone, and could we be at the meeting on
Monday, would suggest their adoption.

THE NEBRASKA BILL.-The Journal of
Commerce is calculating that 100 members
are already elected to Congress Cor 10 be
elected from the South, opposed to the re-
peal of the Nebraska bill. and that but Is
more are needed to make majority against
touching it. We quote:
at is not impossible, nor very improba-
bic, that this number will be found, (among
the 1874 members not included in the above
calculation,) will oppose repeal, although
some OF them voted against the bill on its
passage. In other words it is by no means
certain that a bill 10 repeal the Nebraska
law can pass the House. But if it should
it will be defeated by large majority in
the Senate. And before a new Congress is
elected, Nebraska will probably be knock
ing for admission into the Union as State.

He urged it in courteous and appropriate
manner. He was interrupted by General
Lane, of Oregon. and. with ready polite
ness. yielded him the the floor The dele
gate from Oregon instantly launched out in
to warm opposition to the bill Mr. Far

and gentlemanly tone. called him to order.
Gen Lane turned fercely upon him. and
replied, Il will not be called to order -
Mr.. Farley, rejoined. with intense excite

call you to order, as you had TO call me to

these obstacles were overcome. each of the
combatants was surrounded and seized by
several of his friends The entire provoca
tion proceeded from Lane. as the above de.
scription of the scene shows; and though
the language of Mr.. Farley admits of nc
other excuse than that of uncomfortable ex.
citement, produced by an intolerable insult
the feeling and opinion of the House were
unanimously with him.

Lane conducted himself throughout the af-
fair, was shown by his language and man.
