HISTORY OF THE NEBRASKA BILL.

Some of our public men are beginning to

After the bill was introduced the abolition leaders in Congress denounced it with violence as a riolation of the Missouri compact moreover, doubts were suggested by southern men as to whether the repeal of the Missouri Compromise was so clear as to satisfy slave-owners that they might settle in the Territory and risk a judicial decision as to their property with safety.— On the other hand, it was suggested by northern men ihat there was no doubt about the repeal of the Missouri Compromise but there was doubt whether the legal effects thereof was not to revive the Louisiana law of 1803, by which Nebraska was slave territory. To remove all room for doubt, and to free the question of non-intervention in Nebraska from all controversy, Senator Douglas himself brought forward the amendments which placed the bill in the shape in which it passed.

It is due to the truth of history to state, also, that the amendments were seen and approved by President Pierce and General Cass before they were offered in the Senate by Senator Douglas. These three gentlemen were the earnest and consistant advocates of the Nebraska bill, from its inception to its final passage, and we are entirely certain that its legal effect ic the shape in which it passed is identically that which they attributed to it in the shape in which Mr. Douglas first introduced it. "We go farther, and affirm, with entire confidence in our ability to maintain the assertion, that the bill as it finally passed does not differ in the slightest degree in principle from the compromise of 1850.

languaKe of the J,(?sPltais'

That the Missouri restiiclion was and evefy point where repealed was a foregone conclusion, and the

only debatable matter was whether it should „uh

be done by implicaUon or by express re- ltbe

pealing language. The first impression ofjim

s'r,"

the language of the'Compromise of 1850 in preparing the Nebraska bill. The great object was to carry out the principle of nonintervention, and thereby to establish a permanent and efficient rule for tho settlement of all sectional questions. The principle of non-intervention w&s palpably inconsistent with the Missouri restriction, and upon every sound legal principle its application to the Nebraska Territory would necessarily abrogate and repeal the Missouri line.— Tho popular judgment had been pronounced by an overwhelming majority in favor of the non-intervention principle in the election of President Pierce, and as that principle in the Compromise of 1850 was not accompanied by any express repeal of the Mexican law, which was understood to prohibit slavery in New Mexico and Utah, so Senator Douglas deemed it most prudent not to accompany the non-intervention principle in the Nebraska bill with an express repeal of the Missouri act of 1850, which prohibited slavery in Nebraska. Whether the Compromise act of 1850 repealed the Mexican law or not was left by the compromise to judicial decision. So Senator Douglas proposed to leave the question whether the adoption of the non-interven-tion principle in Nebraska was a repeal of the Missouri restriction to judicial decision, although he was fully satisfied that it did operate as a repeal, and in that opinion President Pierce and Gen. Cass fully concurred. But inasmuch as it was known that the abolitionists were eager for any new pretext for agitation, and as it was ap parent that the proposition for an express repeal of the Missouri restriction would be seized upon by them us a violation of the Compromise of 1850, as well as that of 1820, (both of which compromises, however, they had uniformly opposed,) and be made the grounds of renewed sectional excitement, Senator Douglas determined, in drawing the Nebraska bill, to avoid this pretext for agitation by adhering strictly to the language of the Compromise of 1850.

Dr. Davega contradicts the story of the desertion of six hundred Poles, and declares that the whole army is animated by the greatest enthusiasm, not being in the least disheartened by their late reverses. The Russians regard the contest as a war against the infidels, and their religious ztal is constantly stimulated by Greek priests, many of whom accompany the army. A large proportion of the soldiers are Greeks, who are considered the best in the army, and having a bitter remembrance of Turkish tyranny, they slay all Turks who fall into their hands without mercy.

The enthusiasm of the army, both officers and soldiers, toward Gen. Todleben, the great engineer who so admirably planned the defences of Stbastopol, approaches adoration, and there is hardly a man under him who would not sacrifice his life, if necessary to preserve him to "his Czar and his country."

Dr. Davega is of opinion that it is utterly impossible for the Allies to avoid another winter's campaign in the Crimea in any other way than by leaving it altogether.— Their work has only commenced with taking of the south side of Sebastopol and the capture of the north sidfe—if it ever shall be captured—will be attended with a still greater loss than they have yet experienced. They will be compelled to encamp, as they did before, outside the city, as that part of it which the Russians gave up to them is completely untenable, and such is the nature of the soil during the rainy season, that it is utterly impossible to use either cannon or cavalry, while the foot soldier sinks down to his knees at every step.

The above statement, it will be s6en, differs very widely from thc accounts of

THE ULTIMATUM OF TIIE CZAR.

The following announcement, ("important if true") is from the Washington correspondence of the N. Y. Sun. True or not however it is a reasonable view of the case:

A most singular communication from Russia has lately leaked out at the State Department. The Czar has declared an intention to make peace -with the Allies only on the condition that "Constantinople shall be made a free port, and all the seas beyond it open to the commerce of the world, without exception or partialities."

Startling as this news may seem, it is perfectly reliable, and, whoever pretends to doubt it now, you may rely upon its being announced to the world as a fixed point in the Russian plan of policy.

Since the taking of the south side of Sebastopol, this intimation of the fixed determination of the Emperor Alexander to have the establishment of a free port at Constan

In addition to this, the road from their camp to Odessa is occupied by different detachments of their army, which, including the force in the camp, numbers 30C,000 well disciplined, well equipped, well provisioned and every way effective troops.--But this is not all—their facilities for the [transportation of troops are such that they can if necessary bring their whole disposable force into the Crimea in the course of a few days.

He asked her to do a sum for him—which was to subtract 0 from 28.— One of the counsel asked him if he could not do it without her assistance.

Boy—"I might but the arithmetic said I couldn't subtract 9 from 8 without borrowing 10, and I didn't know where the hell to borrow it."

It is questionable whether a boy who don't know where to borrow a ten will ever get to Congress.

THE CHANGE.—KnowNothingism, so formidable twelve months ago, has now scarcely a foothold in ti Union. The change has been thorough and almost instantaneous. Tbe po^'er, which in its earlier progress promised to be supreme overall others, has sunk into such a state of weakness and inanity as to cease longer to hold a respectable place^amid the contending parties in the Government. Everywhere, except in Kentucky, where victory brought humiliation, it has either been ccnqucred by the Democracy or merged into abolitionism. Even in Philadelphia, the stronghold of nativeism, where but a few months ago a Know Nothing Mayor was elected by a majority of thousands, the order ha3 suffered a most shameful defeat, and the Democratic power is^'established upon the very ground where was concocted their celebrated platform. After such results, as are constantly springingup around us, he must be sanguine indeed who can hope anything from the once invincible Know Nothing order.— Atlanta Intelligencer, Ga.

ELECTION Ot TRAGUS IN BALTIMORE—TUB'

NINETEENTH WARP.—We selcct the following from Baltimore papers of the 20th inst

"Never, perhaps, since Baltimore has been an incorporated citv, was there a greater outrage, or, more correctly speaking, series of outrages, than at the election for City Councilman in the Nineteenth Ward, on Thursday last. The polls opened quietly and peaceably in the morning, at the usual time and there were no indications whatever but that everything would pass off in that quiet and orderly manner which should characterize the expression of thc will of parties in a republic. But it soon became manifestthat the KnowNothingparty was determined to carry thc day, if that were in the range of possibility, and that no means would he omitted, no matter how villainous, to injure that end. Rowdies, Vagabonds, thieves, murderers, ruffians who had served terms in the penitentiary, viljains of every lute, were organized into bands all over the city, and it was arranged systematically that they were to appear at tlie polls and taken possession of them, and drive of all who were opposed to them. It was currently statfcd that the Know frothing parly was determined to carry the election at all hazards, :md they carried their threats into execution. Ma'nv sterling and good Democratic ciiitizens were deterred from voting, because they knew their lives were in danger. Thus the rowdies of the mis-styled American parly ruled the city, and succeeded in carrying an election where it was demonstrated but a few days before that the Democratic party had a clear maor it

Mr. Rice, the democratic delegate in Congress, is chosen by a handsome majority of popular sovereignty men.

A PRKJMCTfO.V.

The Louisville Courier of Saturday says: Capt. Summons, the veteran of the mail line, who has befn a close observer of tho river, its tides and changes, these forty years, says that the Ohio river this season reminds him most forcibly of tho Fall of of 1831. Then, as now, the river continued at a most excellent navigable stage from its source to the mouth, the entire Summer. In October it went down to low water stage, with such dry weather and continued dowrr till cold weather set in, and thc river was closed by ice for some time. Then followed the ever memorable flood of 1832, when the Ohio overflowed its banks every where, and an immense damage was done all along its source. The present Summer has been precisely like that of 1831, and we await the issue of the Fall and Winter, and shalTlook for a flood to follow the breaking up of the ice, and those who live along thc river bank can prepare to move.
