1t would seem that slaveholling troubles are not
at all diminished, by the success of the slavehold-
ing schemes. A Missouri correspondent of the
New York Evening Post has got TIE blues badly
on this subject. lie says:
THAT last business of the arch-agitator. Doug.
las, is one of the most hazardous and fantastic
tricks, and the South is now paying dearly for it.
We of Missouri are suffering, as we'll as others.
The State has never before lost one half as many
slaves, in twice the period Of time, rs they have
since the passage of the infamous bill. They
have been running off by dozens and at the same
time the good feeling of northern states has been
estrangcd from us, which operates both to prevent
IL return Of our slaves, and to encourage their de-
parture."
In this the St. Louis papers are quite agreed, as
witness the ~followingi
IS far as we are personally concerned, we do
not ask sympathy for our losses in this line. We
were weak enough two years ago to buy a negro
man in Kentucky ON his own and his white friends
entreaties, to bring him to st. Louis, where his
beloved wife was. We bought him, paid for him
and brought him heIe-and huseed ourselt for
having II human heart that pited the SORROWS even
Of a poor darkey, who was separated from the
wife OF his BOSOM But, 10 in II few brief weeks,
the grateful and afec.ionate Kentucky darkey flea
from the coveted embraces Of his dear wife, and
sought refuge in the more loving arms of
Chicago Abolitionists We have had no attack
Of niger humanity since, and feel ourselves cured
for lite.
The same writer says there are ten negroes taken
from Missouri now to enc that was spirited
away before the passage Of the Douglas BILL
There is just enough of slavery in the State to
prevent the white mechanics and laborers from
coming in and settling, an not sufficient to do a
thOusandth part OF The work which ought to he
done in the State. lie proposes as a remedy that
slavery he either al olislIed altogether, OF that the
African slave trade be reupened, and by that means
obtain a plentiful supply, and that
Douglas and Atehison give heed to the latter pro-
position.
The st. Louis Republican ommend the es-
adjustment Of a border police, to prevent the
slaves from running off. The lntelligencer consid-
es this rather an expensive mode OF Going things,

NEBRASKA ELEoTroN.-The Nebraska election
was held on the 18th of December, for the election
of Delegate to Congress and members of tho Ter
ritorial Legislature. Who is elected we don't know.
Some say N b. Giddings the Anti-Nebraska can
didate, others johnson, who is called an indepen-
dent Democrat. AT all events Bird Chapman, the
administration candidate is not elected. An Iowa
paper says he withdrew his name. But it was
probably after the election.
BES"Since writing the above the Council Bluffs
Bugle of the 10Th, has come to hand, from which
we learn that Giddings election is unquestioned
Giddings. says the Bugle, is a Benton Democrat
from Missouri, opposed to the Administrative and
to the Nebraska bill. We learn also that Chap
man did resign before the election but how long
we are not told, probably but a day or two as he
received upwards of 100 votes while Giddings re-
ceivcd less than 400. The Bugle also gives the
names Of the candidates elected to the Legislature
but gives no indication of their political complex.
