WASHINGTON ARKANSAS WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 90 1856

IS is found In the Utah and New Mexico
acts, which Mr.. Fillmore approved.
The Kansas-Nebraska act purposely and
expressly leaves ''the people of those Ter
ritOries PERFECTLY FREE to form and reg
nlate their domestic institutions in their
own mode" ,ctthont restriction as to the
time ,chen they should thus form and reg
ulate their domestic institutions SO that
the tirSt Territorial assembly might, if it
chose to do so, exclude slaves from the
Territory, and thus deprive Southern men
of the right to carry this species of prop
erty into the Territory. The Utah and
New Mexico acts, on the contrary; provI-
ded that all laws passed by the Territorial
Assembly should be submitted to Con-
gress, and, if disapproved by Congress,
they should be null and void.
The Kansas Nebraska act leaves the
people of the Territories perfectly free on
this question, whilst the Utah and New
Mexico acts, (Which Mr. Fillmore approx
ed) reserved, in cypress terms, the power
in Congress to supervise and annul all
Territorial legislation, and get the Rich
mon Enquirer assumes, in the face Of the
record, that the organic act (acts) for the
Territories of Utah and New Mexico en-
bodies precisely the same priacipie of pop
ular sovereignty as the Kansas Nebraska
act Is there no difference between the
''squatter sovereignty doctrines of Cass,
Douglas & Co, as developed in the Kansas
Nebraska bill, and the conservative doc
trines of Millard Fillmore, as developed
in his approval of the Utah and New Mex
leo acts of 1850? The former leaves the
squaHers 'perfectly free to do what they
please, and the latter reserves controN
ing power over the action of their Legis-
lative Assembly-an ob0ious, and, as we
think, an important difference

A Beautiful Thought.

1t was night. Jerusalem slept as quietly
amid her hills as child upon the breast
of its mother The noiseless sentinel stood
like statue at his post, and the philoso-
piers lamp burnt dimly in the recess of
his chamber
But dark night was now abroad upon
the earth. A moral darkness involved the
nations in its benighted shadows. Reason
sheds a faint glimmering over the minds
of men. like the cold inefficient shining
of a distant star. The immortality Of
mans spiritual nature was unknown, his
relations to heaven undiscovered, and his
future destiny obscured in cloud of mys-
terry.
1t was at this period, two forms of ethe-
rial mould hovered over the land of Gods
people. They seemed like sister angels
sent to earth on some embassy of love.
The one was of majestic stature, and in the
well formed limbs, which her snowy dra-
perry hardly concealed, in her erect bearings
and steady eye, exhibited the highest de-
gree of strength and confidence. Her
right arm was extended in an impressive
gesture upwards, where night appeared to
have placed her darkest pavilion, while on
her lett reposed her delicate companion, in
form and countenance the contrast Of the
other, for she was dropping like flower
when moistened by refreshing dews, and
her bright, but troubled eye scanned the
air with ardent but varying glances. Sud-
denly light like the sun flashed out from
the Heavens, and Faith and Hope hailed
with exulting songs the ascending Star
of Bethlehem.

SOMETHING New AT LAsT-The spicy
Newport correspondent of the N. Y. Mirror,
''Belle Britain" thus holds forth "new
thing"
We had little bit of excitement here
yesterday, occasioned by a steam organ on
board OF a boat in the harbor 1t seemed
as if the whole forenoon was filled with
hurdy -gurdies. 1t played Yankee Doodle
with terrific variations, and spluttered
waltzes all over the sea and shore. But a
gentleman who went to see it says it is
nothing very wonderful, after all. 1t has
keys and is played upon like any other
organ, only steam is used instead Of wind.
Every time a key is touched and note
produced, certain amount of steam is let
off, which is very exhausting to the en-
gine. 1t will probably take the place of
band of music, when steamboats, go out
on dancing excursions; and perhaps it
will be introduced as Nmotive power"
into churches to play the organ. Surely,
if the progressive spirit of the age" can
find out a labor-saving way of worshipping
God by steam, it will be speedily patented
and adopted. What pity we can't have
