Nebraska advertiser., 1858-12-23

Congress win admit her anyhOws Hence
this move Of the Administration to take
the larger portion of Nebraska, and an
mex it to Kansas, and then they VIII be
willing to admit her and say that they
still sustain the doctrine that a Territory
must have the $4,000.
And this is MOI all. BY the manner
they slaughter Nebraska, having obtained
the precedent in Kansas that i takes
ninety-three thousand to admit a State,
and taking away more than half Ne
braska's population, and the best part Of
her Territory. when viii she be able to
be admitted into the Union? Whereas
if they let it stand as it is now, Kansas
win override this Bill English, and come
in the next Congress; and in less than
three years, Nebraska viii do the same
thing, and add four United States Sena-
tors on the side Of popular sovereignty,
ready at all times TO help "crush OUT all
such measures as the Lecompton Eng
lish Bill and bred Scott political die
lums.
And. still again: l have no doubt but
ii is meditated by slavery prOpagandists
in this movement, who l am pretty GER
tain are the leaders Of II. that at some
day in the future, they may be able to
buy some Territory of the Indian Ma
tons, south Of Kansas. and west Of Ar
kansas, where there is nothing but an air
line 10 define the boundaries between Mis-
souri, and southern Kansas, and then d.
vide the state or Territory Of Kansas and
make all south Of the Kansas River slave
territory. Thereby having two slave
State Senators to Offset two free State
Senators instead of four free State Sena-
tors, if things are suffered to remain as
they now are.
In looking over your article, Friend
Furnas, l am some little at a loss (belieV-
ing as l do, that you are a true, and not
a false friend to squatter sovereignty, ike
these bred Scott Lecompton Democrats, J
to know what you mean when you say,
"By annexation we assist to swell a popu-
lation sufficiently large TO gain mmedi-
ate admission into the Union"
By this am l to understand you as sane
tioning the Bill English doctrine that a
Territory can't be admitted without the
$4,000? Again you say, "We cant rea-
sonably expect to be admitted into the
great sisterhood of States, short Of ten
years to m We have not the popu-
lation to gain admiltance." Since Bill
English in his late canvass backed dowr
from his own bantling. and said he would
be willing to vote for Kansas to come il
: without a census, alleging as an easy
come-of, he was convinced she had the
requisite population without counting.
say that l can't well see how any one car
uphold the doctrine. especially a true
friend of squattef sovereignty and Doug.

And as to your other excuse, that w
will not have the financial ability TO come
: into the Union in ten years. In this yol

are certainly mistaken. With our pres
ent Revenue Law, and a reasonable In
crease of taxable property, by the end 0
1851 we will be out Of debt, and have
from ten to forty thousand dollars Of sur
d plus in the treasury.
: Finally, l do hope that you, Frienl
$ Furnas, and all who support this measure
viii not so far forget the principles Q
{ popular Government. as to rush US int
the Union precipitately or upon the pet

d without a provision to submit to a vote {
the people to be affected by it.
