The Restoration.

The opening Of the Slavery question BY
the repeal Of the Missouri Compromise.
against the wishes Of nine tenths Of the peo-
pie Of the country, North and South. as we
verify believe. has been tebuked by the peo-
pie Of the Free States at the elections in q
voice not to mistaken. In response to that
voice. Mr.. Mace, of Indiana, has very prop
erly introduced bill for the restoration of
the Missouri line. This bill was given in
the Journal Of last Tuesday. and is simply
the revival Of the prohibitions contained in
the ordinance OF 1881, in regard to slavery.
We expressed the opinion some time ago
mise might possibly be made a Southern
measure. Are We to understand Mr.
Mace's bill as giving Southern members an
opportunity Of voting for the restoration :?
or are We to look upon il as an independ-
ent movement on the part Of the anti-Neb-
Tsska men? II the latter, does it go far
enoughi On looking at the bill it will be
seen that Mr.. Mace applies the prohibition
10 'the Territories of Nebraska and Kan
sas'--in other words, provides for the
simple restoration Of the line of SO degs.
30 min, with the prohibitions as embraced
in the 9Th section Of the original Missouri
bill.
If the object be TO afford Southern men,
bers an opportunity to come forward and
yindicase their own honor by restoring that
which never should have been disturbed,
We might acquiesc, but even then We
should have preferred that some Southern
member had brought forward the PROPOSE
tion. But. il. on the other hand, we Of the
Free Ssrtes are to be forced to 60 forward
and assert our rights in this matter, We see
but one way OF meeting the issue rendered
by opposing FREEDOM to SLAVERY. Ths,
is the distinct issue created by the repeal
Of the Missouri Compromise. and we would
prefer. therefore. the bill introduced last
session by Senator Chase. That bill mel
the point urged by the nulli6ers fairly; il
applied the prohibition not to Nebraska and
Kansas alone. but to "any Territory Of the
United States"-in plain language, no NOR
Slave States. And in our humble judg
ment there is no other way of meeting Oh,
issue. The question is, shall Slavery be tn,
rule and Freedom the exception in estab
fishing new States; or shall the rule be re
versed! BY adopting the rule. "no NOR,
Save States." We are simply bringing bacl
the action of the Government to the princi
pie clearly recognized at the adoption o
the Constitution. The policy then wa
sgainst the increase Of Slavery, and th,
Compromise introduced into tha. instru
ment in relation to Slave representation ap
plies only to territory belonging TO the orig
inal thirteen Ststes. As a constitutions
question, therefore. it is an open one; and.
We are to fight it out. We prefer the make,
question. Freedom or Slavery. No NOR
compromises, unless they come as meas

ET The Democrat thinks because We
said il was our "hesrts desire that Ameri-
cans should rule in America" that We are
q "pro.slavery Whig" Now his thinking
80 will not make il 90. and from Q perussl
of our paper. we are satisfied no sane man
could have the least idea Of our entertain
ing such sentiments. In regard 10 foreign
ers, we say come; there 10 land enough
possess property, pay tazes,"-and when
they become sufficiently acquainted with
our institutions, and have been good and
peaceabls residents among US, we are ready
to admi. them to an equality with the ma
tive born. Whether that period shall be
FIVE, ten or fifteen years. we are not prepa-
red to say. Some foreigners are better
qualified to exercise the elective franchise
in FIVE years than others are in lifetime.
OF another matter We are convinced, which
fact is fully substansisted by intelligent for
eigners themselves, and that is, that our
Naturalization Laws need to be amended,
and then TO be enforced to the strict letter
The laxity with which they have been sd.
ministered, is what induced so many to de.
mand their remodelng.
II any one will take the trouble to read
the article in the last Democrat, they will
come to the same conclusion that we have

inclined to think that so long as native.

THREATS OF OUTBREAK AT ERIE.-It
looks very much as if another Railroad war
was brewing at Erie. There was meet
ing there on Wednesday. Of last week, Of
which one Of the participants says:
"After the troubled waters ceased to roll.
a vote was taken, when it was resolved
tha. at the expiration Of the time allowed
by the Supreme Court to the railroad COM
pany for the removal of their track, and
they did not comply with said decree in the
meantime. the city and citizens of Erie
would rip up the track and tear down the
bridges"

y Magazine is the best publication Of the
order in the United States, and we are glad
to know that il is duly appreciated by the
Odd Fellows not only Of Ohio. but Of the

Usher, has persevered with rare industry
in placing it in it's present position. This
lumber begins the 18th volume. For slev.

Probably no magazine in the country is
better managed, as Bro. Glenn gives to il
his personal attention, and his energy and
excellent business habits are we'll known
We wish for the enlightenment fthe order
that the Ark could be more widely circu.
lated in this vicinity. Any one wishing ic
take it can do so by leavcing their names
and one dollar at the Journal Office.

The Austrian Alliance.

Ifpopuiarity is thing that has ever had
any thing to do with the war with Russia,
as respects England. the alliance with Aus
tria. we Apprehend. is an event not likely
to add much to the strength of thar ele-
msnt throughout the kingdom.

ble expediency to join hands with even
Louis Napolean, awhile ago-the man who
killed off the French Republic, and the Re-
public Of Rome--who refused to let Kos.
suth. the Hungarian pass through France,
--and who fiom that time to this, has gen.
orally been looked upon as the most prom
ising journeyman despot in all Europe.
Austria, however, never pretended to be
anything else but anti-republican, and all
the fighting she has been doing of late
years has been against whatever of liber.
alism has dared manifest itself in her do
minions. Constitutional. liberal England
that is harboring her refugees-tberefore
has got into rather strange company. II
there is any strength in the popular pulse
ANY earnestness in the boistrous cheer
which have greeted the recent deprecstionl
