Who are beUsr judgss than they of what they want, or what right has Congress 'to form & State Constitutica for Nebraska, any more than she has for Indiana! . The .qualifications for a voter and an ofiice holder are the same as in Indiana, merely requiring foreigners up. on application to become citizens of the United States, to take an oath to support the Constitution of the United Sfates and the provisions of the Nebraska bill, which tak.es the place ot a Constl?i-I-7i until one is formed by the people .inhabiting Jha territory. This principle is established not only with reference to-Nebraska end Kansas, but applies to all territory belonging to, or that may hereafter :be acquired by the- United - States. . I have r.r.t much time to write much mora at this time on r this subject, ' but wish to ask those . Wfai's with whom I have always acted, if they intend new to abandon the principles lor which we have so long contended, and under which we have often triumphed.

What will it avail, should w triumph .at the . earning election! . Will it not be but temporary, and will not Abolitionist" be forever hurled into our teeth, and with such truth that we will be unable to extricate ourselves from the charge! ; To be convinced ci this fact, we have only to look cror.i us end ess who are the principal c:tcu ia this- usw or-aaiisdoa.

Govern rf .-dr i :e v..:h ?f. twa:;'.:y J.e Lu., mer.t bo .h Ncnh ar Slavery as evil, at ? publli-en iattllutiona, efpe.-d to "'.a test tntsrets cf the cor.try, and at er with the rights of man everywhere to be tolerated only where it could not be immediafsly removed with eifety to the commonwealth, an evil to be circumscribed, limited and i ntlly esiinuithed. And Wrekea, It was the expectation cf our forefathers, that under the fostering influence, of democrat! Institutions, the principles of liberty would ba better understood and fully carried out, until every bond should be ssvered,' every chain shonld ba broken, and the last slave that then groaned in oppression, should have restored to h::n hi long lost rights. And -Whessas, Tha early policy of the Government, in coiiifiaicg the institution of Slavery to tha States where it then existed, has been abandoned, and the power and patronage of the pretent administration has been exerted to extend and perpetuate the evil, thereby sympathising with ' the oppressor, instead of tha ' oppressed. Therefore, Resolved, That ths.. Government of this country was established to promote the interests of Freedom, and not to extend the evils of Slavery; that it is bound to use all its constitutional powers, to car ry out, practically, the great fundamental doctrine of equal rightt upon which the institutions of tha country rest and it is false to its truths, recreant to its glorious mission, and treacherous to the interests of humanity, when it prostitutes its high prerogatives in extending and perpetuating the crimes and sufferings of African servitude. Resolved, That tha repeal of the Missouri Conipromiis, by Congress, in the passage of the Kansas end Nebraska Bill, contrary to the wishet, and ia spite of the remonstrances of the people cf the free States, was a wanton' violation' o! plighted faith and-'national' honor.. 'An outrage on the right of the, Free North and West.. An insult to tha moral sense of the community,, and it justly d ;rsenfas ths severe censure and condemnation it is now receiving from the freeman of thi great commonwealth. Resolved, Thai, in ths langttage of Senator Douglass 4,tha fdisouri Compromise we a embalmed in tha hetrisof the American people," and we had supposed in the language of the same Senator, "that no ruthless hand would be found recreant enough ever to disturb it." But we are indignant at tha thought, that the man who a few years ego, uttered such senti ments as those, should himssifbe the recreant one," to perform this, pt radioes act. . R:zcli'ed, That the effort of designing politicians, to convince tha people of ths Irea States that slavery cen'never exist ia Kansas and Nebraska, except by positive law, is a .specious . device to deceive tha people, in relation ta the facta in tha case, as it is well known that slavery does aireaay exist in mese territories, ana that violent measures will ba resorted to. and desperate efforts aadelaprctsct and defend it. ;'..,- . Re$9lved Thsl wo demand of Congress the repeal cf that ' portion cl "the Kansas and Nebraska Bill, which throgtls the llusc-tiri Comprosiiae, and rs pledge ecrsclyes to vote for no man for Congress, or fcrc-carty and Ciats cfuces, who will not use hl InJUaence to restore tha compromise of IttO, - to the plaea it osct ratha ptasags cl (he Kaf xrt3 I--.1L Resolved, TbtX cur Eej-ressntativo in congreii, tha Hen.

At a meeting of the Democratic Centra Committee of White county, held on the evening of tha 1 t',h mt,f it was Resolved, That, in compliance with the above request, tha Democracy cf White county ba requested to meet at the Court House ia Monticello on Thursday, the Slit day of August, at 10 o'clock a.m. 'or the purpose cf nominating candidates for tha various "county effaces to be fdlad at the corning October election. The cornminae would urge it upon ev ery Democrat. who cherishes the principles of Republicanism and . popular sovereignty, for which his . party has been contending for tho last three quarters of a century, to be present. . Ths committee have received-assurances from the Hon. G. N. Fitch end Lt. Gov. Willard, that they will be present on that osoasion. They expect also, to secure ths attention of the Hon. John Pettit, tha old 'Brass Pic,' EodCol. ,Py, and other distinguished speakers. The. committee would like to see every man in the county present on that ocoasion who has an ear to hear, a heart to concaive, and a tongue ta confess. They also invite their fellow Democrats &om i'jrrounding eoua ties, that they may see that tha Bemoc racy of Whita county is net discouraged by the libellous Abolition-whig eHbria, of the last two months, to hood-wink the more honest portion cf the people from their own sense of justice and right. Le1 ut all meet together and. listen, to the t a. it t h, and decide for ourselves when we will serve. ........
