NEBRAsKA.--Both branches of the Nebraska
Legislature have adopted the following resolu-
tions by nearly unanimous vote.
"Resolrcd, That we herewith endorse the
principles enunciated in the bill organizing the
Territories of Nebraska and Kansas; that we
rejoice that the geographical line between the
northern and southern States has been erased,
leaving the people of every State and Territory
free to control their domestic institutions; and
that we commend the firm and patriotic course
of the men, without distinction of party, who
have aided in establishing the sound constitu-
tional principles of the compromise Of 1850;
and 'e's
"Resolued, furthermore, That we pledge our
selves to oppose any unfair determinations,
such as those of the late Missouri compromise;
but to protect and defend the rights Of the
States, and the union of the States, and to
advance and perpetuate the doctrines of popu-
lar sovereignty"
10- In Dover, where J. P. Hale belongs, if
anywhere in New Hampshire, the democrats
gained FIFTY-NIYE votes. In Congress in 1852,
Hale solemnly declared that so long as there
should flow in his viens the blood Of his mother,
who was the only child of an Irish exile named
O'Brien, SO long an Irish emigrant should never
want words of encouragement or sympathy
from him. If he had an impulse or passion
he said it was when an appeal was made to his
heart for an Irish exile. Now his blood ap-
pears to be mere decoction Of k. a. pepper.

THE EXEMPTION Acr-On the Goth ult.,
Mr. Gross of the House of Representatives of
this State read in place bill repeating the
three hundred dollar exemption law, which was
referred to the judiciary Committee. We are
gratiied to perceive that it has been reported
back from the Committee with negative re-
commentator. 1t is very seldom that the
interests of the poor are cared for and when
perchance magnanimous Legislature does
enact law for their benefit, it is wonderful
with what tenacity the rich insist upon its re-
peal. The three hundred dollar act, was but
the result of liberal and enlightened policy
"a consequence of the repeal that relic of bar
barism-i imprisonment for debt; and its repeal
now wonld in fact be step backward Misfor-
tune sometimes sweeps from man all he pos
sesses, and it is but right the law should inter-
fere and permit him to retain portion Of it.
1t is no argument to say that his misfortune
was created by his own negligence, folly and
mprudence. There are the helpless wife and
children who are innocont, and who should
not be turned loose as dependents upon public
charity.
Almost every man in the community knows
what the law is, says the Harrisburg Union,
and if he does not, it is no excuse. Indebted
ness, therefore is contracted with full knowl-
edge of the consequence If storekeeper, or
other person, is willing to trust an individual
and does do so and loses the debt, the fault is
not of the law, but of himself. He had the
right to refuse the individual credit, but having
failed to exercise it, he comes with an illgrace
to the Legislature for remedy in the repeal of
the law, the provisions of which he knew and
understood. Let the law remain as it is

convinced that we have clearly the right on our
side, will be found at all times, and especially in
the present peculiar and trying circumstance Of
the country, the best preparation for obtaining
peace.
We implore our senators, now assembling in
both houses Of parliament for the avowed purpose
of aiding the vigorous prosecution OF the war,
to remember that that which is morally or re-
ligiously wrong cannot be politically right that
the non recognition Of the peaceable doctrines and
precepts of the Gospel by the nation which is OF
posed to us--a nation too, intellectually and spirit
ually, far less enlightened than our own, constr
tutcs no valid plea For our violation OF them and
that parliament may more truly serve the country
by promoting temperate counsels, and wise and
conciliatory negotiations, than by urging forward
a war which has already been SO ~fearfully destruc-
tive of British life and treasure, and which threat.
ems in its progress to involve the whole of Europe
in one widespread conhagration.
We appeal to all who possess power or influence
whether by their secular or their religi
GUS position, and especially to those who are look
ed up to rs Ministers Of the Gospel of Peace, tc
use that authority and influence of which they are
stewards, not in stirring up the martial spirit o.
the nation, or in nerving the arm Of war, but II
promoting peace on earth and good will towards
men, even towards their enemies.
We appeal as Christians to our fellow Christians
AS Englishmen to our fellow countrymeno of every
class; we implore them to view their present posi-
ton and duties calmly and temperatcly, not under
the impulse of vindictive excitement, but with tina
practical wisdom which recognizes it as a politica
not less than n religious truth, that Righteousness
exalteth a nation, and with that far.sighted patriot
ism which comprehends within its scope the mora
not less than the material, the future as well as the
present welfare of cur country, and the still more
enduring interests of eternity.
We pray the Almighty Father of the Universe tC
breathe the spirit of reconciliation into the hearts
of his contending children, British, French, Turk
ish, and Russian, and guide them to the promotion
of their mutual well-being in conforming them
selves to His universal law of love.

cause he had sent a paper to the Royal Society, in
which he maintained that the light of the sun pro-

may afford ample light to the inhabitants of the
surface beneath, and yet be at such a distance
aloft as not to annoy them : that there may be
water snd dry land there, hills and dales, rain and

must be eternal the sun may easily be conceived
to be by far the most blissfull habitation of the

apparently extravaganza notion was considered a
proof of insanity, it was maintained by Sir Will

How cam'st thou so close to my bed?

But thy beauty unnerves me with dread.
