The RECORD OF DOUGLAS AND BELL ON THE
NEBRASKA BILL.-On the I'd of March, 1854,
while the Nebraska Bill was under consider
aticn in the Senate, Mr.. Chase, of Ohio,
moved an amendment that "the people of the
Territory, through their appropriate Repre-
sentatives, may, if they see fit, prohibit
slavery therein" Upon which genuine prop
osition of Popular Sovereignty, STEPHEN
ARNOLD DOUGLAS and JOHN BELL
voted most emphatically NO! Mr.. Chase
offered another amendment--that the people
be allowed to elect their own Governor-and
Douglas and Bell voted against it, all the
Republicans voting on the other side.
Here we see Douglas voting against Populsr
Sovereignty when it was sought to be practic-
ally applied, showing his dishonesty, and his
subserviency to the slave power. Bell voted
the same way because he is avowedly and no
doubt honestly pro-slavery man. We can
not see how any man who is opposed to
slavery can consistently support either
Douglas or Bell.

Two STEpHENs.-In 1856, the Democracy
saidthere were two Fremonts. An exchange
calls attention to the fact that there are two
Douglas candidates for the Presidency now
the one running at the South on an entirely
different set of principles to those advocated
by his Northern namesake. In the North,
Squatter Sovereignty inures to the benefit of
freedom; in the South, the same doctrine
extends slavery over the Territories in such a
happy, successful manner as to highly delight
the Pierre Soules, the Gauldens, the Herschel
Y. Johnsons, and other slave owners, whose
large investments in uiggers will be doubled
as soon as the question is settled that the
Territories and all non-siavebolding States
are markets to which they can safely drive
their human cattle. This Douglas doctrine is
like Maynard d Noyes' celebrated ink -
warranted to keep in any climate. 1t suits
the non-slaveholder; it is just the thing for
the slave owner, and exactly fits the case Of
those who wish to reopen the slave trade.
because don't it say "Aon intervention ?"-
and what more can any sane man who goes
for the extension Of slavery ask from the
"rest of mankind?'

has been for long time in the jail Of this
county, as an alleged fugitive slave, came
up for trial yesterday, Dr. ]. q. A. Foster,
and Il. Helm, two Of the defendants, fled
their answers, and by agreement, the case
was submitted to the Court
Foster alleges that be Is half owner, and
jointly interested with Helm, and asks that
the bond he has given for the purchase
money be Cancelled, should Waggoner be
shown to be free. Helm denies having any
interest In the matter, and alleges that he
sold him in accordance with law. Neither
of the defendants introduced any testimony
to prove Waggoner slave. The plaintiff

Trouble In the Papal States-The Irish
Volunteers Worse Than Useless

A letter in the Cologne Gazette states that
the Pope has refused to adopt any of the
measures suggested by tho French Minister,
and has declared, If these changes are forced
on him, he will abandon his States. The
Papal Government is kept in constant alarm
by the rapid organization of an army in
Sicily. The Iumor that Garibaldi had en-
barked with strong force, with the inten-
tion of laRding on the Italian coast has in
creased the alarm of the Roman authorities.
1t is feared that Garibaldi may suddenly ap-
pear on the Papal territory, his real purpose
being quite unknown. Lamoriciere is doing
his utmost TO bring the Pope's land-force into
condition that may enable him to attempt
some defensive movement. All the intelli-
gence from Rome, given in the German jour
mails, confirms the description of the violent
and disorderly conduct Of the Irish military
immigrants. They are still a cause of the
utmost perplexity TO the Roman authorities.
For the sake of peace the pay of the recruits
was, a short time since, raised ten bajocch a
day, and coffee and two meals per diem al
lowed them. But they are discontented, COM
planning that they were promised high pay,
that they have been badly treated, and de-
ceived in every respect. In Macerata, Spoleto,
and Civita Castellana they have conducted
themselves so violently that the Italians re-
gard and treat them with the utmost con-
tempt. II is probable the whole Irish eontin-
gent viii be dismissed as worse than useless
or allowed to return whence they came. An
order from the Papal Government of the 18th
| instant, permits all the Irish recruits who
wish to quit the Pope's service to do so. La
| moriciere has near Spoleto corps Of TO- 00t
men, Italians and foreigners; 1t is being rap
| idly reduced in number of desertions, and the
| foreign recruits can be as little relied on a
the natives, who, il is added, desert by scores
together. If.r fe'f fIofiiT s.i4 4
