Mr. Fenn belongs to the progressive stamp, anti whatever he touches partakes of his go ahead character. 17' We take plea Sure in'asking at tention to the call for a meeting on Mon day evening next to oppose the pas3age of the Douglas Nebraska bill. This movement originated with the supporters of the National Administration, which will account for the cautious tone of the Call. But the Hon. James Gamble will oaderstand - riahat the feelings of the peo ple must be, when such men as head this list take ground against an admin istration measure. tir Mrs. Swisshelin's Saturday HS— hter has been. merged in the Journal. We hare received the first number of the consolidate& paper, and are much pleased with it. We should hare preferred the nailer as it was, but since that was a losing concern, self-preservation required the ch - rnge. The Journul and Visiler is an excellent family paper, right on the questions of Temperance and Starery, ably edited, well p4ted", of large size, and entitretf to a liberal aupporD. ti' We had the pleasure of recejving by last Monday evening's mail, alarge calling a mass meeting of the people of Bradford county on the 141 b, inst. to prbtest against the• extension of slavery - into, Nebraska. This call is Treaded by the Hon. DAVID WILMOT, and is signed by several hundred of the most active men in the country. Let sash meetings be called by every county is the State, and the doughfaces in Cbn gins wilt come to their senses. Eacouraging. We clip the following announcement Irons the hat Sizti-Slauery Slamlud. Tuts Independent Herald is a new paper which has just been started at \Vest Chester, Pa., by 11. BMEE. It is an excellent family newspaper, indepen dent of political parties, seforrnatory in its spirit and progressive in • its aims. iThe Editor evidently nndersiands his business, and we , ..cannot doubt that among the intelligent and, wide-awake people .of Chester. County be will find abundant encouragement in,bis new en terprise.- ; It gives great us pleasure to note the increase of these Independent papers of !die. It is such as these, fearless, inde pendent and honest, that will finally en able the people to.emancipate themselves from the thraldom of party. Chester County is the home of our 'Childhood, and the bines of our fore ( Alters rest beneath her genial skies. Whatever affects her prosperity excitss our interest, and hence we have a double pleasure in announcing the appearance Of the Herald: May its patrouage be equal to the expectations of its publish ers. • - air" A virtuous man." says• Seneca. ustruggling with "misfortunes, is such a speitatlrtis gods might aeon with' pleasure.•, if Unprincipled Politicians:, Though the passage of Douglass Ne braska fraud may open the way foT slavery in that fertile territory, yet its discussion trill emancipate hundreds from the thraldiim of party. The N. K - Euening Past has said; i more manly wards for freedoip, since this discussion commenced, than for two, years before. And as we said last week, [lon. David Wilmot is himself again. We find in the Post of the TO.h the following letter of JUdge Wilmot to the New York meeting to oppose the N.e braska fraud. This letter is of thrilling interest and will be read with pleasure by all our readers. The comments of the Event P ost on this -letter do full justice•to the un- . priacipled politicians of - this - State, and we trust the beople of this State will conviel their , representatives to disap point the good men abroad who have cased to look to •the pour old spiritless State" for aid in any good work. We 'publish below the comments of I the Post, and then the letter itself. • Judge Wilmot on Ike Nebraska- Quest ion. Judge Wilmot is in' the field again, called out by ' the qUestion which has just begun to agitate the Union. He lately appeared before a meeting of the citizens of his diStrict i and bore an em phatic testimony against the enormity of the'Nebraslca bill. In the struggle which this profligate scheme has awakened, we fear we can hope but for little aid from the poor old spiritless state of Pennsylvania. I n'all political controversies of• importance, Pennsylvania. as repre'sertted in- Con gress, generally contrives to be in the wrong. The politicians of that State seem. as a general rule, to be unprinci pled beyond .the general' characttir of their tribe, oda even when pretending to belong to the deinocratis party, they are very apt to oppose its . bjst measures, and disregard its. best-setth:d maxims. Judge Wilinot's district, however, tlte' people are right on the Nebraska ques tion. •"'lle member from this District," says a_ correspondent, writing ftom that part of Pennsylvania, "will stand firm to his duty, and the . people of this dis trict will' deal a harder blow upon Doug las, should he ever expose himself to their resentment, than they• gave Cads in. 1848. I feared, from the first., that thy diVision and fight in the State of New York would drive a- nerveless. A dministration to. some desperate act, in order to puige itself from the suspicions_ of the South, and thereby head% off its enemies." - . In another• part of this sheet will be found a letter from Judge Wilmot, speak ing of the meditated .ontrage in terms which so gross a wrong naturally sug• gests• to.an honest man. TOWANDA, Pa., Frb.- 4,A85.4. Gentlemen : The letter of invitation with which you honored J , me, to attend a meeting of the citizens of New York, I rdthout distinction. of party, on the 30th ultimo. to - protest against a violation of the Missouri Compromise, reached this place during my absence from home, and Niras 'not received by me until lazt. evening. Fearing my silence might be construed into - disapprobation of the ob jects of the meeting, lam constrained to reply even•at this late .day; and to avail myself of the- - Opportunily your • invita tion aflords. to place on record my con demnaiion of the enormous wrong threat ened the country and posterity; by the repeal of a compact that has been held inviolable by the American people for two generations. It is now one third of a century since that compact was ratified, under circumstances of imposing solem nity, that gave to it an obligation scarce- - ly - second to the.denciand of the constitu tion itself. Its repeal would be a virtual change of that • instrument; as it would reverse thie uniform interpretation it has received in every department of the gov ernment, from its organization down to the inauguration of the present admin istration. Whence comes this unexpected and stasilitag assault upon the vital interests and guarantied rights of the free states?' Through what instrumentalities is it ex pected to consummate the deed of wick edness and shame ? Slavery, emboldened by recent'triu mplis, and calculating upon the broken spirit of the North; strikes this deadlyialoW at the progress and de velopment of free nstitutions;_iristigated to the attack; encouraged and led on by the treachery of northern men, r 'who would barter their country's future and the highest Interests of humanity for a brief day of official power. The demor alizing temptations of luture preferment, the seductive appliances of present pat ronage, threatenings and, denunciations, wherewith to over, we the timid and irresolute, are the potential agencies upon which slavery builds its Confideii hopes•of success. It . is believed that all those of the free states, whose, integrity and moral strength place them beyond the reach of these influences, Ca a , be overwhelmed by the revilings of a.per erted public opinion ; that the voice of manly protest against aggression the most flagitious:cart be effectually silenced by partizan clamor and a'subsidized press: Were it believed passible that the freemen of the North could be aroused to that indicmant,enerry,that stern, un bending resistance; so - urgently . 'de mended by . . the crisis—ethe authora aad abbettors of this conspiracy ; against God . and, mankind would skulk from the im-' pending rebuke, and call upon the rnountains to cover their shame. The proposition to repeal the Missouri Corn pripise is, in itself, a burning infamy , and it carries with it an infamous impu: tation upon the character and patriotism of our people. These covenant breakers act upon the assumption that we are so demorak iied by the spirit of mammon, that we value material above moral interests ; so debased by law and selfish desires, that we love the honors and profits• of _office more than we love the glory and welfare dour country. • I have read with deep interest the proceedings of theimeetine c held at the Tabernacle. The high character of the men who . participated in it—the dignity and. firmness 'of its resolves, afford grounds of encouraging •hope that the North will at length become s•nroused to the defence of its rights?' The magni tude of the issue cannot be over-esti mated. . The result will fin the character rind condition, of our country for all coming time. If the barrier trected against ,livery in the Missouri Compromise be broken down, them indeed i , will the in stitutions established bp our fathers be subverted;. and on the :uins will grbw up a mighty slave oligarchy, overshad owing, and controlling he destinies of the continent. An inesomble and-re morseless despotism trill rule, as with a rc•d of iron, that land consecrated by blood to freedom and oppressed . human ity. . - I have - the 'honor to be, gentlemen, Very respecfnlly,• Your obedient servant, • DAVID \VI imMr. To Shepherd 'Knapp, Esq., and others. Sham. Democracy. During the last Presidential campaign the people viere told that Franklin Pierce,.if elected,.wouldcunductthe for eign policy of the Government in such a way as to increase the influence and respect of republicanism in the old corm tries. [low have these promises' been met ? The following extract 'from an . article in the Deily National Era of Jon, 25, We are not surprised at this Demo cratic Coniervatism. The party out of power can always afford to he more rad ical'and progressive 'than the Party in poWer. Even 'Young_ America, with, .Governmental responsibilities on his ; shoulders, moves with a abater and more cautious step. Naturalized citi zens were induced to vote for General Pierce, in" the expectation thav his influ ence would, in some way or other - , be thrown into the scale of European Dc. mocracy .;. but no. evidence has yet been furnished 'of his special sympathy with it. • His Administration has been a good deal more intent on fostering domestic despotism than foreign Democracy.— We have not heard that it has given any and •sr countenance to the latter, but through its "organ - : It Ira 11:.,1 main for contemplating the enfmnchisement of her slaves, and threatened violent interference, with a view to maintain Slavery in its colony of Curia a We are not aware that this was in 4t t e pro gramme submitted to our ralized Democrats. • In process or time, 'this portion of our fellow-citizens will learn that: there is a power behind the Presidential chair that knows how to put the bit iti.the mouth of "Young America."' The only intervention allowed by that mys terious Agency is such as shall strekth 'en its power and extend its . dominion. _...,~..... ~ r NO REPEAL ' OF THE . t ,‘ MISSOURI COMPROMISE!

At the old line Con,vention for the liornination'of •Governorin the last State campaign, the Wild-Cat and Anti-Maine Law mea of the party controlled the Convention, and nominated Albert Pits bury 'for Governor. - The Temperance Democrats bolted and nominated Merril! for Governor, and they run candidates ibithe Legislature wherever there was a chance of success. -There was . no election of. Governor by the people, and but 13 Senators out of 3f were elected. A majority of the members elect. to'the Lower House were opposed to the Wild- Cat men, but seven of the thirteen Sena tors . elect were Pilsbury men. The seven Wild-Cat members undertook to control the State; which is the prevailing habit of hunkerisin the world 'Over. Its adherents.hold that a minority,-ifthat minority has the pOwer, map rightfully control 'the majority.. So these seven 'Wild-Cat members, in violation , of the Constitution, undertook to dictate to the other House the terms on which the vacancies in. the Senate might be filled, and because the House chose to be governed by the Constitution; the Legis lature was; kept a month 'unorganized. Finding they must surrender, the Wild Cats clutched at power in the following characteristic-manner, as we learn from the Boston Commonwealth: ' MORE. WILD CAT OUTRAGES.—The Pilsbury Senators. after keeping the Legislature of. Maine unorganized for nearly a month, and finding that their scme has been balked by the opinion of h i s be Supreme Court, made a last des pe to move on. Monday to grasp power by - an open and gross act of injustice and outrage. It was well known that the committee on counting. voles had prepared a final report 'on the election, of Senators and on the vacancies, and that they would. report. Mr. Clarke,el Lincoln, elected. - . By giving Ms. Clarke his seat, the Wild Cats would have . been tie% Be fore the committee reported, therefore, the sevrn costly Senators proceeded to elect a President of the Senate, and.-also a Secretary, an Assistant Secretary, Messenger, Assistant Messenger, and Chaplain.

The faint and timorous assent to that fraud expressed by the Democratic Central Committee of this city, was of that de scription. The Boston • Post, the New Hampshire 'Patriot, the Philadelphia Pennsylvanian, speak as , they are bid': '.As the prompter breathes the puppet squeaks.' The free expression of the North among all parties—whether enemies of the ad ministration, or friends—whether demo crats or whigs, is openly, earnestly, uncompromisingly against the measure.

Commie, Chairman. of the Business:Committee, reported the follow ing preamble and yesolations Waenias, It has pleased an all-wise. and merciful Providence to again permit the friends of Prohibition to assemble in Stiete Convention, after another year of toil and effort in: this great cause of be nevolence and humanity: ./Ind whereas, the pact year his been marked by -the most signal advancement of .our , princi ples, therefore, Resolved, That believing, rs we do, the cause of Prohibition to be the cause of God, and dependent on his blessing,, it becomes our duty as a Convention to offer our'most grateful and devout ac knowledgment to HIM, as "in His hands the hearts of all men are," fo: the snc cess 'which has attended our efforts du ring the past year. /imbed, That whatever may, be the difficulty; of enacting or enforcing a Pro hibitory Liquor Law, the experience of thirty years of the most persevering ef fort to counteract the evils of .the liquor _traffic, and of legisiation'to regulate the same, has clearly demonstrated that such a law aloe 4 can save the country from the!,great evils of intemperance. Resolved, That the experience of another year has more than ever con firmed tqe,conviction.that no hi:Man leg islation can make that right which. God declares to be wrong, and as - he has pronounced His curse on him that" put ted] the bottle to his neighbor and mak eth him 'drunken," we are compelled to believe that a Legislature which aullwr izes the,sale of intoxicating liquors, as a beverage, violates a Divine law, and is responsible for all the evils which flow from the; traffic. • ResolVed;That no law, however strin gent, which recognizes the right to sell intoxicating drinks, can receive our sanc tion, and we believe the tine has fully come when all efforts to regulate the traffic should be at once and forever aban doned. 1 • Resolved, That the recent triumph of our principles in the District of. Colum bia, and the cities of Detroit, Baltimore, Piston e Wheeling, and Lancaster,and the encouraging vote in 'Philadelphia and New York, are sufficient - CO convince the most skeptical of our opponents that even in its strongholds the Rum. Power is losing its dominion; while it should encourage alt the , friends of Prohibition to ,h,attle more valllantly than ever for its entire overthrow. Resolved, . That the election to the Legislature, last fall. of . such an increased noinber;of decided and known advocates Of Prohibition, proves most conclusively, that ir the present political parties re fuse to-settle this • question, by passing the law, we shall very soon be able to send a ; majority.' of Prohibieory Law men to our Legislature, and thus settle it for ourselves. Resolved, That in view _ of The fact that nearly 103,060 votes were cast fo • Prohibition at the last general election in spite, of all the disadvantages under Which we labored, viz : the .want of or ganization—the strength of party attach ments and the intriegues of political leaders—the people have a right to ex pect the present Legislature to pass a law prohibiting the sale of intoxicating liquors us a beverage. Resolved, That es the , friends of the liquor C'Tatlic have professed their wil lingness to submit a Prohibitory Law to the vote of the people, and ;:many of our Legislators have objected to voting for such a law because they believed a majority of the voters were .opposed to• it, and Rs the understanding prevailed to a considerable extent during the late canvass, that the law would be. thus sub mitted,;in some constitutional' form, we do hereby , express our willingness—pro vided the Legislature will not pass the law without—that a prober law shOuld be passed to go into effect early in the Year 1855, and the question of its repeal —not of ifs adoption-4hould be sub mitted to a popular vote, at a special election to be held for that purpose, on the first Tuesday of September. 1851. RrsOlved, That ; in accordance with the above proposition- we wish it dis tinctly !understood that we do it only to show our confidence in the integrity of the peqple, and•to give greaterefficiency to the law when put into operation, and not because we recognize the right :even of the majority, to. afflict society 'with the curse of the-liquor , traffic., Readved,,That no submission of I,,he question ;wif/rout the law, will receive 'oven our attention, much less our sanct- On—ri?e will not vote upon_ it.' I Resolved; That .should ,the present Legislature • refuse to pass a' Prohibitory Law, with or without referring it 3 repeal to a vote of the ,people, or should they !pass any bill which would- be unaecept. able to the friends of Prohibition, ilea it shall be the duty of the Suite Central Committee to call a State Convention to meet in Harrisburg some time' during months of June tn. consist-of/delegates from the several Senatorial and Repre sentative. districts , in proportion to ttAir representation in; the Legislature, the - State Central Committee, vvho s' al determine the propriety and expediency of nominating a State Ticket to be sup ported by tberfriends of prohibition.
