We have not forgotten while the Bill for
the organization Of the territories of Kansas
and Nebraska was on its passage through
the Senate, the repeal of the Slavery Pro-
hibition was advocated on the pretense that
it was to establish newly discovered prin-
cple, supposed to be fattering to the feel
ngs OF the pioneer part Of our population,
and called "squatter sovereignty" II we
mistake not, Senator Dodge in one of those
able and convincing speeches of his, with
which he has been accustomed for some
years past 10 enlighten the Senate, expia-
ted with much eloquence on this great prin.
ciple Of squatter sovereignty, and told some
Mississippi ge Gentleman by the name of Brown
with how much zeal he, on the principle of
squatter sovereignty, would resist all his,
Browns slavery notions about the disgrace
Of backing boots, going TO market, saving
We God etc, in these same territories Of Kan

passed since such was the universal Ian.

Report says the discussion, on general
basis, for negotiations, terminated satisfactori-
". II was also rumored that Austria and
England would be satisfied with the demolition
of Sevastopol.
At the conference, everything was being
conducted in the most friendly manner--the
plcnipotentiaries exchanged their powers, and
the proceedings were entered upon the BASH Of
the four points. The Interpretation Of them
given by the Allies having been set forth, they
were accepted verbally by the representative
of Russia, who thereupon departed. One of
the plenpotentiaries was to draw up minute
of a protectorate, which was to have been
signed on Saturday. This document will con-
stitute the basis for peace.
The mission Of General Welhesty to Paris,
is a complete failure. Prussia refuses to &C.
cede to treaty with the Allies, and will not,
therefore, be permitted to participate in the
conference at Vienna.
