But in Rem Vii filth Slit a do be i times becomes necessary to come into Contact with it. If Temperance men aim to put Down do Geries it May be Well to see the kind of argument used to sustain them. Quot we observe that our neighbors of the free Democrat appreciate our forbearance they rebel and conceive that it would be an Honor . It we should condescend to kick up fuss with them. They think it would a too and it Tiiu pay them because they have All the fools in their Side of the House and. Instinct tells them not Only that Ginoi Ance is the Mother of Devotion As Ary teach but also that virtue is its own Reward or habits labor for its pains mail key understand it. Quot it is impossible for them to realize a that we regard them we will not s any As insane men or idiots a for if they were such they would be in some a8ylum, or ought to be and under the care of a benevolent or philosophic keeper who would in the first instance Endeavor to reclaim them by measures of kindness rather than those of violence. We disposed still to be charitable believe of them As we do Mohe Al Formont that they. Are unfortunate enthusiasts Rof that class who if they stare at the Sun Iii a monday brilliancy and blinded by the Light will avow and. Believe that the Sun itself is darkness rather than that their own. Vision is defective or imperfect or to to it weak to endure the illumination which mocks at their presumption. A Quot Solo Korin the Olden time before Strong minded women confounded breeches with brains a taught in this Wise a whip for the horse a bridle for the-�s8, and a Rod for the of oof Back in it the same Book of Wisdom we Are taught that the 0 know eth his stall ass his owner s crib the human Bol Here a Vida Nutly put below the horse , and the. Ass in other words the falsities of human reason below instinctive superiority. Quot will they of the re Domurat take the place which Belo Tigs ? or will they compel us to to amp to it them into it we shall see and whether they realize Jit or not we Ai e ready for either alternative though the latter one would be painful to us As Well As . Quot in our own opinion Uliey have a task hard enough for All their sagacity in Endea voting to make the world believe that a White Man is nearly As a old As a negro provided he 6eaarm himself in this labor of love so Well suited to All their taste and affinities we have no wish to disturb them. In such a Case we Are willing that every Man Sho uld me his Choice according to his tastes. If thenis a of the free Democrat believe negroes to be As Good or better than themselves we certainly shall not quarrel with themis order to demonstrate the contrary. We Are quite willing that they should bask in Al the no my which the Flowers of this Field May afford them. It is quite right they should enjoy the fruits of their labors but it is not right that we should be compelled to join them in violence to our and our taste a. willing that they should go their Way and we desire to go Pur Way in peace though we Are considerably inclined to think there is no peace for the wicked any How. Thev will provoke trouble,.if it does Mot come new in conclusion and for the present. The free Democrat Quot de no a our position for us against our Willand in Defiance of the abstract propositions of ours expressed in re Gard tothe recent decisions of the supreme court which propositions the free Democrat evidently has not sufficient sense and knowledge to comp Eherd. Without waiting for us to enlighten it ignorance it Renews its Folly by an unprovoked and i Grav ated assault in which there is in Ither Rhyine por reason. It voluntarily Sumes the attitude of a slanderer and �fal8�fi�r---a character which in our opinion is baser far than that of the meanest Dogger keeper that can be raked out of the five Points of new York or any other hell on Earth. Quot of All the knaves that this wide Earth is numbered with and cursed the most contemptible is that class which tries to magnify its own pretences of virtue by assailing the most vulnerable Onzy of the faults and errors of their neighbors real or supposed they Are fierce As. Hungry wolves in their assaults upon vice in 2ote places but will Crouch like Meriest soands if a no a robber looks them in the Eye. They Are the Fellows who would shirk we shrink if required to Aid in arresting a murderer but they Are the very ones also who would shout among the mob who accompanied him Gallows. Quot in the kindest feeling we desire our free Democrat neighbors to avoid further attempts at defining Wiir position of any subject. If they cannot comprehend our first expressions we a will at Aby time by to simplify them for their , such is the c%antie2eer a anti Maine Law Argun sent.

But what is it perhaps some of our new readers inquire which has so excited ? it is simply >th�o8 ago in the absence of the editor,.the person having charge of the Democrat copied from an article in. Its bearing decidedly opposed to a prohibitory liquor Law and made some comments thereon in the course of which he remarked Quot now we do not look upon As being quite As bad As downright stealing a fee.

Iof Tilia Field May afford is a convincing argument surely against a prohibitory liquor Lato. It is a Model argument and will doubtless be adopted by All the dog by keepers Iri the state. We would Suggs St that the author secure place for it in the n Eit edition of Beebe s Quot quietus Maine in conclusion we beg to assure that this fling at us for advocating the right of the slave to Freedom will Avail it nothing in the discussion of the liquor question. Time has been when ridicule would Supply the place of argument but that Day is past so far As regards the questions of the liquor traffic and slavery Andi such miserable Atte Riipus As the one copied above will Only bring upon the author the contempt of All respectable persons of All parties. If either the Quot general correspondent Quot or the a Socin Ite editor Quot is opposed to a prohibitory liquor Law let him come out and candidly discuss the question. If he has any vestige of manhood about him he will do this. _ v a a territorial govern Merit for ve1��aka-Cbmpromiaes of.l820.anfl 18s0 senator Douglas of Illinois the a Lav holding senator of a free state has introduced a Bill into the Senate of the United states for the organization of a territorial government for the territory of Nebraska which contains a provision that virtually repeals ithe Missouri Compromise of 1820. That provision is in these words when admitted As a state the said Teni tory or any portion of the same shall be received into the Union with or without slavery As their Constitution May prescribe at the time of their he contends in the report accompanying the Bill that the Compromise of 1850 repealed the Missouri Compromise of 1820, arid hence this provision. This will be news to most persons. The condition upon which the state of Missouri was admitted into the Union was that slavery be forever after prohibited in All territory North of 36 Deg. 30 min. This was the solemn cd mpa to entered into Between the slaveholder in and non Alave holding states at the time of the admission of Missiouri without which she could not have been admitted into the Union. The Validity arid constitutionality of this Compromise was unanimously affirmed by the Cabinet of or. Monroe am orig whom was or. Ca Honri and has been acquiesced in by All parties for More than a generation. The South have received the Benefit of their part of the contract but now when it is proposed to carry out in Good Faith that part which inures Bend fit of the North by organizing a territorial government for Nebraska under the provision of that Compromise they have the audacity to disregard it and claim the right to carry their slave property into that territory and to organize it into a state with or without slavery As the slave holding or non slave holding population should i Ponder ate. Senator Atchison of Missouri who has been bitterly opposed organization of the territory on account of slavery being restricted in it by the operation of Compromise and who expressed his determination to oppose its territorial organization unless that Compromise were repealed can now thank or. Douglas for removing the difficulties from his path in regard introduction of slaves for the latter has by his gratuitous assumptions found an easy solution of that difficulty. That solution is this the Compromise of l820 was up pealed by the Compromise of 1850 now As we understand it the Compromise of 1850 had no reference whatever Compromise of 1820. Just think of it after the North have carried out their part of the Compromise South have enjoyed the Benefit of it for thirty years time comes for to fulfil their part of the contract repealed by the Romise of 1850, which had no reference whatever question which was settled upon the admission of miss Ouri in 1820. The question which was settled in 1820 was the disposition of the territory acquired from France by the Essiri of Louisiana. Missouri was a part of that territory and she applied for admin Sion into the Union with a Constitution peril sitting slavery. The admission was opposed on this ground and delayed for Many months but was finally agreed to on the condition that in All the rest of the Terri toy acquired by that of 36 Deg. 30 min. Slavery should be forever prohibited. In the Compromise of 1850 the question at Issue was the disposition of the territory acquired from Mexico by the mexican Var. By the conditions of that Coni re Mise the quest ion of slavery was left an open one in Toliese territories that is so very was neither prohibited Libr permitted but All were allowed to go there slaveholder and non slaveholder a Ayd when firmed into states they were to be admitted with or without slip very according preponderance of slaveholders or non slaveholders. Now will any sane Man contend that Ruch a provision As this in regard territories of Utah and new Mexico repealed that part of the Missouri Compromise which absolutely jew Oatt slavery in All territory North of 36 Deg 30 min we think not. Our neighbor of the Sentinel Speaks favourably of this Bill of or. Douglas and deprecated the coarse of then y. Tribune in opposing it. But the Tribune does not stand alone in its opposition. We refer the Sentinel editor follow Rig from the n. Y. Evening Post a Good democratic paper and a supporter of the present administration i a shout method with or. Douglas. A Friend in Washington writes in regard report made Striate on the Nebraska ques Tion it is i think the shallowest state paper i Ever saw and i have seen Many of that class. It has not even the poor Merit of that plausibility which almost any Young lawyer of tolerable sex per Ness can give wrong Side. It professes not to affirm and not to repeal the Missouri Compromise and yet it offers a provision which directly repeals it. The substance of the Missouri Compromise was this that if the representatives of the free states would agree to admit Missouri into the Union with slavery no other , within the territory then possessed by the United states North of the parallel of thirty six degrees and thir minutes e admitted without a prohibition of slavery. We will waive our objections admission of Missouri with the institution of slavery said those who represented the North if you of the South will guarantee that no other slave state shall be re Ceiva a into the Union North of that parallel. The guarantee was Given the pledge that slavery should never be allowed to exist North of that line was incorporated into tie act by which Missouri was Madera a Tate of the Union. Having obtained the admission of Missouri by giving that pledge they take the Opportunity. As 800n As the territory which lies in the same latitude with Missouri is ready for a government deliberately to violate it. A the Union Speaks i perceive of the reasoning in Dpuglas s report. There is not a particle of reasoning in it from one end other. There is no attempt to palliate the bad Faith which is used towards the North except by the falsehood which is simply a falsehood and Bare to be entitled to be called a sophistication that the Bill presented by Douglass does not repeal the Missouri so far our correspondent whose Indiana Tori is natural. When we Are defrauded of our rights we like to have the fraud veiled in a show of fairness at least it implies a certain respect Forvour understandings to present it in that manner but this pro position to turn the Missouri Compromise into a juggle and a cheat is presented in so bold and barefaced a shape that it i quite a much a insult As it is a fraud. ,. Ithe report made by or. Douglas pro few so a to proceed upon the principles of the crier Promise of 1850 because Utah arid new Mexico were organized As territories with permission a adopt the institution of slavery in presenting themselves for admission As states he infers that the so my per Mission should or a in Nebraska. The Chi by to make a it difference in those Basra he keep put of sight the quarrel Between the friends wild enemies of slavery in 1820, related to that part Bathe country purchased rom i Cei Binder Tny name of Louisi and a i a territory Nebraska is included to Missouri Compromise adjusted the difference in regard to that part of our a cusses. Sions Compromise was always respected in a subsequent a Isla Niovi to now. A j when we acquired from Mexico the a ion which includes what is no w caused. , Utah and new Mexico another quarrel arose respecting the existence or introduction of slavery in that Region. That dispute led to another com Promise,.which had relation Only Natter then in controversy the newly acquired Terri toy. The old quarrel had been appeased by the. Old Compromise the new Compromise was intended to Settle Only the new quarrel. Nothing was said in the course of the debates on that occasion of abrogating the old Compromise nor wag it in any manner drawn in question. The Assumption of which or. Douglas proceeds that the Compromise of 1850 included in any Way the territory purchased years before under the name of Louisiana is utterly gratuitous and senseless. Ocean is nor noticed a. Week or two ago a gathering at Boston of the system of cheap Ocean postage. The movement is extending to other cities. A Large meeting was held at the Tabernacle new York on the 6th inst which was addressed by Elihn Burritt and others in favor of this Nauch needed Reform following memorial to Congress unanimously adopted. A committee Waii also appointed to prepare a petition for Public signature honorable Senate and Houte of representative in Congress Asse tied the citizens of new York assembled in Public meeting in the Broad Tabernacle Janusy 6, 1854, Hon. Jacob a. L?, mayor of the City presiding for the purpose of considering the subject of Ocean postage respectfully represent that they Are fully of the opinion that the present High rates of Ocean postage Are a very serious restriction a Pou the mercantile correspondence Between the United states and other countries impeding Commerce and imposing a heavy tax upon the Community at Large that they Are a grievous and oppressive Burden upon that Large and Industrial class of the. Popu lation of this country who Are Boris in Europe aggravating the bitterness of their separation from relatives and friends in the old world and in Many cases sundering the nearest relations of life. That they interfere with Many of the most valuable institutions of this country by imposing on their foreign correspondence restrict Ioris and expenses highly injurious to their successful Progress. They therefore Pray your honorable body to adopt As soon As possible measures for reducing the charge for Ocean postage uniform rate of two cents for the Mere transportation of a single letter from the United states to any port beyond the sea at which the american mail steamers May regularly touch. Jacob a. Westervelt chairman. Lit Hon. Geo. H. Dunn president of the Cincinnati and Indianapolis i Railroad died at his residence in Lawrence Burgh on the 12th inst. Id Quot Rev. John a. Mccluny of this City has been appointed visitor state prison for the year 1854. Let Bedini the Pope s Nuncio visited Wheeling after leaving Cincinnati. He was burned in effigy by a Large and excited crowd of t items. Stats Tekip Skance body held its session in this City during a part of last week and was altogether the largest and most important body of the kind Ever assembled in Indiana. There was Little diversity of sentiment among the members even in regard to details and of course entire unanimity in regard end of their action a prohibitory Law. After the deliberations of each Day the convention was addressed in the evening by Gen. Carey John Hawkins and other effective speakers. Several excellent speeches were delivered during the convention several that should have remained unspoken forever. Just Here we May drop a word in reference manner of some of the Temperance lecturers. Many of them having Little argument Supply its place by giving their audiences old anecdotes in a new form and thus keep them in a Good humor. Indeed this method of Public speaking is in great demand in the West just now and if the old stories alluded to were always of on inoffensive character would not be very objectionable. This is not always the Case however result is that both speaker and audience react on each other and they separate after every meeting mutually injured and injuring the habits and tastes of both Are degraded. We enter our protest against an Effort to carry any great moral movement by Means of questionable morality Brause we very much doubt whether if the object sought could thus be attained society would not Loose in the corruption of Ite taste the blunting of its moral sensibilities cont acting of a love of the Low the vulgar vile far More than it would gain. Nay. We do not doubt at All on the subject. It is quite certain that a people moved to a just end by such Means to Day if that were possible will be carried backward to an unjust one to Morrow by the same Means far More easily. We always prefer seeing a Good cause go Forward by congenial Means for then we know that being carried by its own merits it will be sustained on the same ground. A principle if adopted by a people in ignorance of its True character and Mission stands on the most Uncertain foundation conceivable and Only Waits to be jostled from its place by the earliest Humbug to fall. Let the Temperance cause be fairly and intelligibly and truthfully advocated and it will not Only succeed,.but remain among us a Blessing forever. The proceedings in part will be found in another column and Are worthy of a careful perusal. Senseless know not who placed the Man now sick of the Small pox. On the Circle in this City but can not withhold our unqualified disapprobation from the act be its author or authors who they May. The usual custom in cases of that disease is to locate them in some place where Are not constantly compelled to pass and re pass. This too to avoid the danger of spreading the disease. But in this Case the managers of our police seem determined to spread it if possible. The place selected the Marion fire company s engine House was admirably chosen for this purpose. At every alarm of fire some fifty to a Jiun dred men Are bound to meet there or else abandon their duty As firemen. Of course they will be More or less exposed infection. But until we have More enlarged views of our duties sick poor than to leave the former without hospitals Aud the latter to be treated by him who will do it for the least compensation regu Dlesk Fps qualification Suh outrages will happen.

A a May be mistaken about the time he came at any rate it 1831 or 18%, a but i think it was 1831. He had free papers which were recognized by the judges of the inferior court of this county and a certificate was granted him. Col. John p. Incr was . and plainer hand than i do. He died of apoplexy or Para Alyss since then. John Freeman went i ii him Florida War in 1836.
