The large mai ility bv which the Nebraska bill
passed the Senate, in 1854 compared with the
vote by when tie Lecampton bill was put through
the same body in 1858, exhibits commendable
advance in puoilc sentiment in four years time,
in the country, on the sll important question of
the day, If the Senate of The United States is a
correct representative of the sentiment Of The
people Of the Union. The Senate's vote passing
the original Ksnzas Nebraska bill, four years
ago. was 81 20 IA that concentrating the wrong
in the Lecompton Constitution, SO to %. Eight
Senators who voted for the Nebraska bill have
since been supplanted by men who vote against
L compton, aud two Senators douglas OF IN
nois and Stuart of Michigan) who voted for Ne
braska now vote against Lecolnpton.
1t should be one Of the greatest aims OF the
Republican party so 10 change, still farther, the
ihtcal complexion of the Senate of the United
States, which has heretofore been the chief cita-
del u the slave power, that by the vine the nezt
erand outrage upon freedom is attempted in the
natp,nal councils its aid ami influence shall be
given against it, instead OF for it, and it shall
stand as the grea: barrier against iniqutous leg
il4ton, instead Of, as now, leading off on the
wrong side, and giving its lmmoVao'e veto
against ma, good legislation may originate and
pass through the lever House.
II the vast majority of %, or vote of nearly
three to one on the wrong side, in 1854 can be
reduced 10 majority OF g. in vote 50 to %,
in 1858, on a measure of still more infamous iur
pitude than the one four years preceding what
may we not expect to have accomplished by the
Il ghali hive

we shall have, not only House and Senate on
our side, but also the President At least to

MELANCHOLY DEATH OF A YOUNG LADY.
A heartrending accident occurred on the 22d
ult., at the residence of Mrs. Brown, in the
parish of East Feliciana, La. The Bayou
Sara Times furnishes the particulars
Lawrence Brown, young man of about
twenty-one, his cousin Mary J East, and sew
eral other members of the family, were seated
in the parlor, engaged in conversation. when
a negro boy entered to inform Lawrence that
there'w flock Of robins in a tree near by.
The young man had loaded shot gun in his
hand, waiting for the birds, ana ran out cock
ing his gun, but finding that they had flown
away, he came back into the parlor, with his
gun laying carelessly upon his left arm, the
muzzle unfortunately pointed towards the
persons in the apartment, attempting at the
same time to uncock il. The hammer slipped
from under his thumb, and came down with
sufficient force to explode the cap, and the
whole charge entered the left temple Of Mss
Mary J. East, causing instantaneous DEATH
The gun was so near her head that the shot
had not time to spread, but entered in a solid
mass, penetrating TO the opposite side of the
skull. The unfortunate young man is so
much affected by the circumstance, that he
has been very i'll ever since, and some fears
are entertained of its effect upon his mind.

fact the speaker remarked at the commencement
tina. it was extremely difficult to get up steam
under such circumstances, nevertheless 1t was his
motto to carry out whatever he had designed.
The lecture was continuation of one delivered
some weeks since on Life in London" At that
time he spoke particularly of street life in Lon
don. Last evening he gave short and graphic
sketches Of the principal public buildings and
national works OF interest TO the stranger, the
Tower, the Thames Tunnel, the docks, the parks,
the asylums, the British Museum, the National
Gallery, the monuments, &c.
The lecturers style of delivery is pleasing and
foreible and he presents his subject in very
interesting and instructive manner We hardly
know of lecturer who can afford more agreea-
BILE evenings entertainment.
