slavery In Nebraska.

From the Chicago Press and Tribunc.l
The country can Judge ut last of the
true intent and meaning of the Kansas
Nebraska bill. The history Of Kansas
afforded sufficient clue to the purpose
of that net: but the liscrcpant versions
of the events % that Territory in 1854.

so many well meaning citizens, that
their judgment was obsrurel. But in
regard to Nebraska. there can he no
such plea. There has been no strife,
no violence, no disorder, no bioodshcd
but there, as well as in its sister Terri
tory. the object to he attained by the
repeal of the Missouri Compromise,
and the substitution therefor of the
great principle" is 50 plainly
apparent that it can not he mistaken.
What that object is. let recent events
proclaim.
Since the opening of Nebraska to
settlement, there have been q greater
or les. number of slaves held therein.
The Missourisns. at an early day.
seized upon the faircst portion of the
Territory. and. with their human chat
tells. took possession. There they
have been ever since: anil though the
number of their slaves has not been
large. it was large enough to give
sanction To their boast that Slavery
was one of the institutions of the
inchoate State. 1t is sufficient "a
know that human beings. whether two
or two hundred thousand is a matter
of no concern, were held there in
bondage.
When the Legislature of Nebraska
assembled near a month ago. bill
for the abolition of slavery in the
Territory was brought forward by the
Republican party. In the House and
in the Council it met with unexpected
opposition from the Democracy j,

Democratic votes: but. again resus.
