SMALL NoTEs-A bill has been intro
duced into the Senate, the object of which
is TO prohibit the circulation Of bank notes
of less denomination than S. in the
State. 1t reqaires that all persons, such

in fact, every one engaged in business
where there is necessarily much receiving

late bank notes of less denomination

Popular Sovereignty.

The Territorial Legislature of Nebraska
recently passed bill to exclude slavery
from that Territory. 1t was short bill,
whose phrases were borrowed from the
Jetfersonian ordinance of 1889, as follows ::
"SEC. l. BE it enacted by the Council
aud House of Representatives Of the Ter
ri,ory Of Nebraska, That slavery or invol-
untary servitude, except for the punish
ment of crime, be and the same is forever
prohibited in this Territory.
SEC 2. This act shall take effect and
be in force from aud after the first day Of
July, A. D., 1860"
The bill was sent to Gov. Black, one Of
Mr.. Buchanan's oficc-holders, who pre-.
sides over that Territory, who returned it
with his VETO. TIE demoralizing iuhu-
ence of Democratic politics on the charac-
ter of those who associate themselves with
that party is illustrated in the action of
the Governor to humiliating extent. Gov.
Black but few years since was opposed
to Slavery. In this he was obeying the
instincts Of his nature as well as the die
ta,es of hi. conscience. But, identifying
himself with the corrupt party in power,
be has foated down the stream with it,
until be finds himself the mere agent of
the slavery propagandists. 1t is painful
to believe, when the privilege of deciding
between freedom, with all its attendant
blessings, and slavery, with all its accom-
panying horrors, was given to native of
Pennsylvauia-a person who was raised
among free institutions, and partook freely
of their advantages-that he should have
decided iD favor Of the latter Yet such
is the fact. His record will adhere to him
however, like the fabled shirt Of Nes.us,
and will be a source of regret when the
charms of cffice shall have passed away.
While this action Of Gov. Black indicates
the sympathy Of Pres. Buchanan with
those who desire TO extend slavery into
cur free territories it boes not detract from
the odium with which his territorial repre-
sentative has surrounded himsclf.-Read

Not often comes an incident of so
much interest to record, as the interview
of Garibaldi and Victor Emanuel, on the
25th ult., between Teano and Speranza-
no. The chieftain had taken his quar-
ters at a small inn, and ordering his col
umn forward, sent Count Trec on to
greet the king, whom he met, rapidly
advancing, preceded by Cialdini, and at
the head of $4,000 men. Count Treci
galloped back breathless, and Garibaldi,
taking horse with his staff, soon met the
head Of the Piedmontese column. 1t
opened, presented arms, and Cialdini ran
forward, Garibaldi leaping from his horse
and embracing him. The king advanc-
ing at the head of his proper division.

and grasped the hero's hand. Thus they
stood, looking at each other in the fel-
lowship of noble minds, and said not an
other word. Still, hand in hand, they
followed the troops, and as their respec-
tive suites mingled in the rear, began to
talk on the great events which the hour
had crowned.
The circumstance is full Of individual
character, and of the spirit of the age.

Cassius NJ. Clay on Secession.

Cassius NJ Clay has written a letter in
reply to an invitation to join in Repub-
lican rejoicing, which concludes AS fol-
lows:
"Whilst we would bear with a broth
erly forbearance, with the sore disap-
pointments of our late rulers, and give
them, patiently, time to accommodate
themselves to the new order Of things,
frankness and wise philanthropy, COM
pei us to say to them at once, that "peac-
able secession" is but peacea6le rebellion
AN utter absurdity. Neither one slave
state, four slave states, nor all the slave
States, will be allowed peaceably to Sc
cede. Every man of sense sees that civ
ii war would be better than that eternal
war which would be the result of a di-
vided nation. The forces engaged would
be less, and the result final. The Union
party of the South would be our allies,
and with victory, which would be sure
for the Union and the right, would come
peace and homogeneous empire. But
allow secession, aud then with the South
ern seeding States united, would come
wa 'hcsi itdoio tuS ulot tilic Wo Llcl upOn
the rivers or the seas, which would be
settled and renewed from century to CEN
tury. The South must know that the
Republicans intend to allow her all her
constitutional rights, and then maintain
their own to the last extremity. This is
a government Of the people, and not a
compact of the States ;" there is no
way to dissolve the Union but by rebel
lion and civil war. 1t remains for the
Shareholders to choose the Union as it
is and was, and is to remain, or rush in
to war with it, and take all the chances of
veal or woe. For as we have no choice !;
we are bound by all that is sacred among
men, to maintain the government and its
supremacy, and our principles upon
which il is based. We cannot choose
our ground. Destiny places us in the
post of honor, and perhaps Of danger,
and we are towards If we falter in our
duty to our country and the liberties of
the people. We must stand on the i'm
mortal language of Jackson, d" the Union,
by the Eternal, IL must be preserved. +"
There we must stand, now and hence
forth, or be forever slaves.
May God inspire our hearts with the
courage and patriotism of '76; and may
our cause, whether through peace or
blood, be eternally triumphant, is the as
piration Of yours truly, G. M. CLAY.
