FLORIDA SHOWING HER PLUCK.

The following resolution has been introduced in the Legislature of Florida: “ Resolved, That in the event of the election of a President by a Northern party, opposed to slavery as it exists in tiie Southern States, it will be the duty of Southern States to prevent his inauguration, or to take some measures in common to protect themselves, and, as one of. the Southern . Statesr-Florida hereby pledges herself to do her duty.” I lorida is very plucky for a State that polled at the Presidential election in 1856, a less number of votes by 3,000 than were polled for Mr. Colfax in this district two years ago. Nebraska Legislature has abolished Slavery, in that Territory, and passed a bill providing fora Constitutional Convention. Tho Omaha Nebraskian of the 10th inst. says that Gov. Black vetoed the bill abolishing slavery in the Territory. _ Perfectly Democratic
