LATER FROM EUROPE.
Arrival OF the steamer Arabia.

The British and North American Royal
Mail Steamship Arabia has arrived at Bos-
ton, with advices from Liverpool to the
LIST inst.
THE PACIFIC.
A dispatch received by Messrs. Brown
& Shipley, the Liverpool Agents of the
Collins line of steamships, dated Glasgow,
the 9th ult., says that the Steamship
Edinburg, from New York, passed on the
9TH ult., when five days out, in lat. 40 deg
80 min, and long. 40 deg. 40 min, large
quantities of broken ice and saw on it a
quantity of broken cabin furniture, con-
sisting of fine ornamental doors, with white
or glass handles, ladies' work box, and
other articles common in the cabins OF first
class steamships-it is, we fear, too proba-
BILE that these articles were fragments from
the wreck of the Pacific, as the Arabia brings
no intelligence of that vessel.
THE PEACE CONFERENCE.
In Paris three peace Conferences have
been held, but none of their proceedings have
been allowed to transpire. The general i'm
preston is that matters, so far, have pro-
crossed favorably. 1t is believed that i'm
mediately after peace has been signed
European Congress will meet to adjust the
balance of power. A rumor, to which,
however, not much credence is given, is
afloat to the effect that Russia comedies
the required limitations, but will not abandon
her protectorate over the Greek Christians.
Another rumor, somewhat alarming, but
believed to be specializing ruse, says that
Russia has stated objections which will
break up the Conference.
AN ARMISTICE.
An armistoe has been announced, to last
until the end of March, but not to affect the
existing blockade, and has been made known
to the armies in the Crimea. Omar Pacha's
resignation has been accepted. Russia, the
Allies and Sweden continue to make active
preparations for war.
THE MARKETS.
The Liverpool cotton market opened
active, but closed quiet. The sales during
the week ending the 28th ult., comprised
$4,000 bales, of which spectators took
$4,000 and exporters 5000 bales, leaving
$4,000 bales of all descriptions to the trade.
The stock in port consisted of 100000
bales, including 100000 American.
The Liverpool breadstuffs market had
declined and closed dull. Wheat had de-
clined 3D., -four Is, and corn Is. Ohio
flour was worth 37s. Cd. per bbl Of 1876 lbs.

OHIO DEMOCRACY.

As an evidence of the conservative sem
timents of Northern Democracy on the
great question of the equal rights of the
North and the South, we quote the following
sound and strong language of the Daily
Democratic Pennant, published at Ports
mouth, Ohio:
1.-THE territory of the United States, is
common property, and we contend that
Congress has no right to place a barrier on
any part of it, SO as to debar any citizen
from settling on it. 1t is the province of the
people of each State, to say whether they
will have slavery or not; in q word, to make
such laws as may suit them, without refer
enee to the opinions or wishes of other peo-
pie. provided their constitution shall not
violate the constitution of the United States.
This principle applies to every thing, slave
ry included. If 1chen the State shall be
formed, majority Of the people irish slare-
ry. ii is their right TO hare IL. So, If they
aDiSh TO erPei horses from the State, and use
cdmeLs only, 1t is their right to do so. To
destroy this principle Of State Sovereignty,
toOuld an effect, detract rery much from our
republican character. We never have vet
seen a Democrat in Ohio, who wished to
see slavery established in Kansas, and we
never expect TO see one. but so far as we
know. they are ciiiing for 1t to erist there, il
a majority Of the people desire Il.
The western Democrat. [volume] (Charlotte, N.C.) 1852-1870, 1856-03-18
ANTI-NEBRAsKA CAUCUS.

The Anti-Nebraska members of Congress
held a caucus at Washington, On the IIth
inst, at the Capitol. at which IS Congress
men free sOilers) were present. All the
free States were represented. Senator Foot
presided, and Mr.. Cumback of Indiana, act
ed as Secretary. Mr.. Wilson of Massachu-
sets, was first called out. He spoke earn
estly for the union of all the North in favor
of freedom, and, notwithstanding the con-
flicting parties in his State, pledged her for
the Anti-Nebraska candidate for the Presi-
dency. Mr.. Calfax of Indiana, advocated
making the great question of freedom in the
territories the issue of the next Presidential
campaign in opposition TO slavery aggres-
sion. Mr.. Banks expressed similar views.
and said that no doubt the people of Mas
sachusetts would carry out the question to
a successful issue. Messrs. Collamer and
Seward made earnest speeches, insisting
that the paramount OvershaGowing issue of
the day is freedom or slavery, and on this
one appeal to the country must be made
The latter declared that he did not care
what name the party bore, he would support
the candidate who represents the great
principle of freedom. He was frequently
interrupted by applause. He said that this
was the first speech he ever made in the
House of Representatives. Messrs. Cragin
of New Hampshire, Benson of Maine, How
ard of Michigan, Billinghurst of Wiscon-
sin, and Sabin of Vermont, Woodruff of
Connecticut, Durkee ofRhode Island, and
Granger Of New York, severally spoke for
their respective States in a vein similar to
their predecessors.
The call of the States was not concluded
when the caucus adjourned till Tuesday.
