adopted after they withdrew from the

From the above il viii be seen that il
was plainly the object Of The Breckin-
ridge party to keep all the Territories
open for Slavery While IN aTerritoriaI
existence. They an very graciOosly agree
that when we come to form a State Con-
stitulion, preparatory to asking admission
into the Union as a State we may by a
Constitution prohibition prohibit Slave
~. Is not that precisely wha' y Ne
braska Democracy say. Most assuredly
it is. Here is their platform or resolu-
ton upon this subject:
ResoIued. that we are in favor o. msking Nebraska
a free State, and that We hereby Pleege the DeMocraht
parry Of this Territory 70 oppose the establishment OF
the fnStifutiOn Of Slavery in the FUTURE STATE Of
Nebraska By a CONSTITUTIONAL PROHIBITION
Does it not "dove tail together" nicely.
Even in this county, the following resolu-
tons was adopted at a Democratic meet
ing:
Resolved. LIST. That We, the Democracy, are opposed
all honorable means to suppress the same while we re-
main in a Territorial capacity
2. That we are In favor, on being admitted into 10

pGtch:
About II o'clock on Monday night the citizens
of Bolivar were aroused by shouting and the throw
ing of stones on the public square. large crowd
soon congregated, and found that gang Of negroes
had attacked a few white men. When sufficient
number Of whites was collected they attacked the
negroes driving them into the woods. The negroes
threatened to burn the town before morning A
vigilant watch was kept and all attempts failed
One negro was dangerously wounded by pistol
shot Several were captured and confined in Jail
The citizens held meeting and appointed Vigil
ance Committee, who were taking active measures
to discover those engaged in the riot. A mounted
company was ranging the woods in search of the
negroes. The owner: of some rebeous slaves was
badly wounded. and only saved himself by fight
Several blacks have been severely punished. The
greatest excitement prevailed, and every man was
armed and prepared for more serious attack"
At the latest advices, however the excitement had
somewhat subsidized.

at seems that the &sritage transmitted to us by
our fathers is in danger of destruction To think
what our ancestors endured for liberties, fight
ing through a seven years war, and marching over
frozen ground to face the enemy, leaving the blood
on the snow from their naked feet and then to think
of the danger that now hangs over US! I have
bombshell now in my yard that my dear old grand
father hauled during the revolutionary war. If he
were here now, he would look with sorrow on the
present condition Of things, and would be forced to
conclude that he had toiled and fought in vain.
= Sir, am for whole Constitution, or none.
If our Northern brethren intend to stand by only
part of the instrument they cannot to stand
by all of it. l have long since said and repeat it
now, that if we allow black Republican President
to take his seat we had well give up and become
slaves ourselves. ! thank God that we have such
rends in the North as James Buchanan and other
Northern Democrats They may save us, but
rave my fears. Let us stand by Virginia in this
risis. Gov. Wise has done his duty like man.
Virginia is border State and every blow at her is

Honors to the Abolitienist, Seward.


William H. Seward arrived at New York City on
Wednesday last in the steamer Arago, from his Eu-
ropean tour. He was received with distinguished
honors One hundred guns were fired, and the
Common Council of the City unanimously rendered
him room in the City Hall, "in which to receive
the congratulations Of his fellowctizens and friends
upon his safe arrival from the continent Of Europe.
The New York Day Book says:
'The action of the Common Council in extend
ing reception to Senator Seward upon his return
to this country, may be set down as deliberate
outrage upon the feelings of the national conserva-
tive of this city. This distinction given to Mr.
Seward must be because he enjoys 1.-THE bad pre-
eminence" of being the upholder of 'lrrepressible
conflict" If it desired simply to compliment
him because he is Senator why is Preston King
ignored or why was not reception given to Sena-
tor Clingman, or Gen. Lane of Oregon? Ex-Presl-
dent Pierce we understand, is now in this city, yet
no compliment is offered him, but Mr. Seward,
whose only distinction is that he has famed the
flame of sectional strife, is tehave reception by the
corporate authorities of this city! We recoect
that Mayor Tiemann was chosen to preside at the
Union Meeting because it was thought that he would
give the meeting city sanction, and yet on the very
back of this the great leader of the represslbles"
is to be the guest Of the city. Well may breth-
rem OF the South say, that our Union meetings are
all sham, when one week we preach down section
aliSrn, and the next week pay our homage to its
leader"
What will the Southern people say, when they
read these accounts of distinguished honors paid to
Seward? Why, that New York City, when she
wants Southern trade, will hold Union meetings
but when she shows her real sentiments she honor>
Seward New York State is TODAY Seward State
The Union is not saved yet!
