KANsAs-NEBRAsKAB BILL.


The Kansas Nebraska bill was q com,
promise of conflicting opinions within the
Democratic party; some of its supporters
believing that Congress had constitution
al authority to prohibit the existence of
slavery in the Territories; others. that
while Congress had not, each Territorial
Legislature had such power, and yet 9TH
ers, that neither Congress nor Terrific
rial Legislature could prohibit slavery,
but were both entrusted with the power,
coupled with the duty of maintaining and
protecting that relation. To hsrmonize
in support of the bill, such various opih.
ions, and thus unite the Democratic party,
North ind South, upon fair and final
basis of action, was the task to which
Stephen A. Douglas addressed his intellect
and his influence. Democrats who be-
lieved that Congress had power to prohib-
it slavery within the Territories, upon the
one hand, or. upon the other, to maintain
slavery, agreed to delegate the entire ex-
ercise of such authority, whatever its ex-
tent or nature might be, TO the Territorial
Legislatures. as the agents and substitutes
of Congress for that purpose; whilst those
who believed that the Territorial Legis.

EXCUSES FOR ALTERING THE
CINCINNATI PLATFORM.

1t is said, in excuse, that the principles
enunciated by the Supreme Court of the
United States in the case of Dred Scott,
lead to the conclusion that q Territorial
Legislature has no more authority over
the subject of slavery than Congress, and
that Congress, equally with the Territorial
Legislatures, is under obligation to pro-
tect as well the possession as the title of
slave property in the Territories. We
do not now intend 10 debate this assertion,

Bea- Judging from the numerous re-
quest to publish embryo marriages, re-
ceiyed BY the editor from the young
ladies Of the Minden Female College.
we are rather inclined to believe that
the young ladies Of said College ere

to avail themselves Of the privileges
allotted the sex during tia eyentful
period Of 1860.
Why certainly, ladies, we will pub
lish your marriages, one and all, with

Hotel, at Washington, SOS, 900, which
was intended for this purpose. They
were surprised when they discovered
that Uncle Sam was the host, and thai

interesting statements are given as fol-
lows by the correspondent of the Phil

Having no expenses to pay, they
have determined TO invest the money
in American goods, and one of the
chief interpreters, on making inquiries
as to where they could be bought cheap

when they accept the invitation ofthe
Council to visit they will go into the
market TO purchase.
Several of the Embassy have express

report, TO retilrn to this country to
