continue the publication of said paper without any interruption whatever in regard to

its issue, and on the same terms and condi

change had taken place in the conductorship of the "Review." The "Review" in changing hands will

undergo no change in politics, but continue

to advocate the broad principles of Democracy, disregarding all side issues and while

it will not lend itself to support the particular interest of any cliquc, man or faction of the partv, it will counsel union and har

mony among all the conflicting interests and claims, for the general good, and stand

I gTess, is exciting at this time more interest

jject of slavery has been greatly misrepre

sented by its opponents, we deem the best mode to disabuse the minds of our readers

and give them the true principles of the bill,

is to publish that part of it that bears upon the question, which is as follows: t*' '•That the Constitution and all law-sof the United States which are not locally inaplicablc shall have the some force and effect within the said Territory of Nebraska BS elsewhere within the United State?, except the Sth .section of the act preparatory to the admission of Missouri into the Union, approved .March •?. 1?20 which being incon?istr!it with the principle of non-intervention by Congress with slavery in the States and Territories, as recognized by the legislation of 1550, commonly called the compromise measure, is hereby declared to be ir.-ojK.-rative and void IT EKIN«.

CONSTITUTION

OFTIIF,

UNITED STATES."

It will be seen from the above that the

bill expressly repudiates the idea of legisla

ting slavery into the Territory, "but leaves

the people thereof perfectly free to form

and regulate their domestic institutions in

their own way, subject only to the Consti

tution of the United States." It is not strano-e that Whi« and their natural allies O O (the freesoilers) should object to this principle, but how any democrat who acknowl

edges as the cardinal doctrine of his politi

cal faith, "liie capacity of man for self government," can deny the benefit, of that doctrine to the inhabitants of a territory any more than to a citizen of a Sta'e is a little

incomprehensible, and wc are satisfied that

no division among true democrats can cxi.-t

when the question is once fully understood.

But little opposition to this bill has been

manifested by democrats ia this county,,

and that little was predicated upon the

belief that the bill undertook and actually did legislate slavery into the Territory this

view of the case as will be seen by the act

itself, is utterly without foundation, and was put fortii by the enemies of the measure to forestall public opinion and render the bill

odious in advance of any thorough exam

ination into its principles.

The doctrine of non-intervention by Con

gress on the subject of slavery, is the only one that fully meets and adjusts every diffi

culty on the subject upon principles that

neither the North nor the South can com plain, as it does not discriminate in favor of

the institutions of either section

at this place with the Evansville and Craw

fordsville road, as one of the most important lines in the State, and of great interest

to the citizens of our town and county.—

Thc accounts that reach us of thc amount of business now doing on that part of the

Evansviile road between Evansville and

Vincennes is most cheering, and we hope our citizens will Tvakc up to the importance

of the enterprise.

set for them, in their pretended zeal for the

solemn compact, more binding than the

Constitution itself, and men who make it

their boast, that they will at all times trample upon the consti:utional provision for the

reclamation of fugitive slaves, now raise

their hands in hypocritical horror, at the

bare" mention of the repeal of the so called

Missouri Compromise, and because it is proposed to extend the right, of self govern

In all its aspects, of storm or of calm, or (more like this life of ours,) of checkered shadow and sunshine, I never tire of watching it. Just opposite to where I live, are public grounds, extending three quarters of a mile along the shore, and divided from the sea only by a low parapet wall and this is my favorite walk. Half the trees are still in leaf and the grass is as fresh and green, as with us in April. A little fire, morning and evening, is all that is needed and the Neapolitans scarcely use it at all. Indeed, many of the best apartments here, have no fireplaces.-,:, ^Tliey burn wood on andirons, as we do.

The annexed sketch will give you some little idea of the city of Naples (Napoli, as its inhabitants call it.) The point of view is between Vesuvius and the city. On the extreme right, the castle-like residence is the royal palace, (with noble grounds, 200 or 300 acres in extent, around it) of Cops di Monte whence the views of the city and of Vesuvius are exceedingly fine. The plain in the foreground is called the Campagna Felice (happy country) from its great, fertility. And if there were free institutions here,—or even (what the population is better prepared for) a liberal constitutional monarchy, what a happy country it might be! The people here seem to me to resemble, in many points of character, thc Irish they have an endless fund of good-nature they are light-hearted, excitable, quick in all their emotions, careless of tlie morrow, to a marvellous degree patient under suffering and (unlike some of thc Irish) remarkably sober. I have not seen a man even partially intoxicated since I have been in this city—of some 420.GOO inhabitants and they say one may live years here, without seeing one.
