"Pray where is Nebraska2n ex-
claimed John Van Buren, when some
one accused him of conniving at the
introduction of slavery into that terri
tory. 1t is on the same parellel with
Pennsylvania and Southern New
York. The Missouri river takes the
pains to come all the way from our
northern borders along the British
possessions, over three thousand miles,
thruugh much miserable country, and
many hostile Indian tribes, to make
an eastern boundry for Nebraska

That shameful and abominable illus

and oppression, the Visible Admixture'
act. passed at the late session of the
General Assembly solely by Democratic
votes, was, on Friday, declared uncon-
stituional and void, by the Supreme
Court of Ohio, the five Judges compri.
sing the Court coneurring. The legisla-
ture, knowing It TO be unconstitutional,
did their worst to enforce it, by passing
an enabling act prohibiting the Court
from hearing the case for two years, but
the law was defective, and the case get
ting before the Court as q petition in er-
ror, was declared null and void So
ends this abomination. The validity
of the students Voting Law was also
before the Court in the came case, and
that act was also declared unconstitu-

Legislature will not make further at

DIR. John sons Prayer.

Perhaps DIR. johnson never composed
ar ything so truly excellent as his prayer
against inquisitive and perplexing
Il oughts. We insert it here, in the ex-
pectaiion that it will reach some heart
which needs it !: e
.Oh Lord, my maker and protector,
who has graciously sent me into this
world to work out my salvation, enable
me to drive from me all such unquiet
and perplexing thoughts as may hinder
or mislead me in the practice of those
duties which thou hast required.
behold the works of thy hands. give
me grace always to remember thy
thoughts are not my thoughts, nor thy
ways my ways. Aud while il shall please
thee to continue me in this world, where
much is to be done and little to be
known, teach me by thy Holy Spirit to
withdraw my mind from Improbable and
dangerous inquiries, from difficulties
vainly curious, and doubts impossible to
be solved. Let me rejoice in the light
which thou hast impaired let me serve
thee with active zeal and humble conf
dence, and wait with patient expectation
for the time in which the soul which
thou receivest, shall be satisfied with
knowledge. Grant this, o Lord, for
Jesus Christ's sake. Amen"

story of the use made of an old pump,
near Dorset Place, N. W. The pump
having become decayed, the handle was
taken from it After remaining thus
for some time, the authorities concluded
to repair the pump; and on setting Mt
work, not fewer than twenty letters were
found inside, which had been dropped
into the slit from which the handle had
been removed, by the intelligent neigh
bors. who mistook the old pump for

numerous complaints of the miscarriage

The Defunct Senators.

/
We are inclined to think that there is
more zeal displayed in defending the
Republican Senators who betrayed their
trust in the matter of impeachment, than
there will be in denouDcing them ; and
| that the defense, taken with the nature
of its source, is more damaging to them.
To be officiously defended by those who
assaiied them SO long as they were Re-
is calculated to give them an idea what
bad company their course has brought
them to.
The Republican party will waste no

public opinion. The popular verdict is
fixed. These Senators will linger in a
moribund state until their official terms
expire, and then they will politically ex-
pire. They have been tried and found
wanting, and there will be no new trial
They must have made up their minds to
try their chances In some new party or
ganization, before they east their votes
tor the acGaittai of Johnson; but in this
they will fail. There will be no faction
in the Republican party to sustain them,
nor to demand that the party shall ap-
prove them, and therefore there can be
no strife. They have dropped out of

A Change liza Eessdscal POiscy-OD-
r,nxi0us MEASURES Withdrawal.

The approach of a change O. policy in
the Radical party has been observable
for several days, not in Louisiana only,
but in other Southern States. A hesl-
tation to carry out the extreme meas
ures with which we were threatened was
easily to be seen. This change does not
arise, however, from a conviction Of the
wronsfulness Of its course, but from a
wholesome fear of the consequences sure
to result from it. The leaders Of the
Radical party see the handwriting on the
wall; their hearts begin to quake tor
fear and their knees to tremble. They
have discovered that a persistence IN
their revolutionary career would have
rendered certain that which they fatter
themselves can be avoided by a timely
retreat they have heard the great pop
ular heart both of the North and OF the
South utter the sentence-"thus far
shalt thou come and no farther, and here
shall thy proud waves be stayed" and
have taken counsel of their fears. We
had rather this remarkable change had
beer produced by a conviction Of the in
Justice Of their. policy and by repentance
of. their numerous transgresslons, but
shall not find fault with it because it
springs from another and less praise
worthy motive. Our adversaries have
done wisely to yield in time. For the
sake of the best interests of the country
let us meet them in the spirit of c%oncili-
alton, and aid in quoting the profound
agitation and alarm into which their pro-
iected legislation had thrown our people,
trusting that their attempts to domineer
over US will not be renewed.
The evidences of this movement we
find in the defeat of the Electoral Bill in
Alabama and the conservative tenden-
cy of the acts of the Executives of South
Carolina, Georgia and Alabama, and
our own State, who begin to feel the
heavy responsibilities they have assum-
ed. With the exception of the print
ing Bill Governor Warmoth has pru'
IDENTIFY hesitated to approve and sign
any of the monstrous enactments which
have engaged the attention OF our learn
ed legislators, and we are pleased to learn
and to b. able to announce to u read
els that tho Senate yesterday tabled the
State Constabulary Bill, which may nov
be considered desd. In pursuance o
the engagement entered into by Cover
nor Warmoth with the Democratic Com
mittee, the Militia Bill will be vetoed
we are informed, and the. other obnox
ious Bills which have SO excited the PEG
pie of the State, who will now see tn
wisdom of their conduct in keeping
tight reign upon their passions and sui
iering this happy consummation to b
worked out by the very enormities ofou
opponents. Standing firmly upon tn
ground we have taken and relaxing nom
Of our vigilance let us continue to be gul

wisdom until we shall have reached tn

success and permanent security.-Bet
