The. meeting called.itt,thecourt house
on Saturd.ty.,nigtit logo° express public
sentiment in. relation to the Nebraska
bill, was a ricb.aflair. There is no goes
lion that the democratic z sentimell in
this region iri.fo'vor oftha ; but
the call was notin favor of a 11 , mocralic
meeting, which'.gave the whigs and
abolitionists a fti3e , ticket, of which they
availed themselves; as: is, their custom,
o produce agitation and confdsion.. The
fact is, very few democrats had seen the
rntiec:or kin* , aught of the call ling
ru.;de. Juke Dock, who was called, to
the chqi& ip the first instance, was en
tirely i r mitorant of the meeting ten min-
utes before, and even when Ma took the
chair was not. fully. infoxmed of its pre
cise object. He did the best he could
under the circumstances, and adjourned j
the moment he discovered there was n 6 j .
concord among tkose present. A meet,
ing was subsequently organized among
the opponents of the measure, and reso
lutions expressing their views were
passed. We:do not gee any necessity
Igr Nrther action in the premises. The
whig,s. and abolitionists availed
,them
selvses of the occasion offered, and ex
pressed their sentiments, whjch they
have placed on record. The dgmocrais
are unanimous, or nearly so,.injavor of
the bill (f . Judge linnglus, and no ex
pression of their opinion could add any
strength to it in Congress. The mem
ber from this district. is.an old anti-mason
.as well as aholitiorlist, and, we. moo' e 1..-
peg!. his note to be cast against the mea
sure in defiance of any itstructions from
his democratic constituents. The action
of the legislature might haze some
effect—but the mere proceedings. of , a
town meeting can have none.
Since writing.the above, we have been
informed. thot many democrats, in aml
out of the legislature, hav4, deterinined
to held a meeting in favor of the Ne
braska bill, at the court house on Tues
day night, and that• proper notice-will
given. As this has been resolved. upon,
we trust that there will, be a It)rge turn
out, aid that spirited resolutions will be
adopted ; not that they will have any
force in determining the question before.
Congress, but because it is necessary,
Allen the democracy do meet, that-they
should sustain their character as the
bold and. unflinching advocates of cor
rect principle.
All we havq.to say irr addition, is, thai t
notwithstanding the bone and sinew are
opposed:to this mfasu re, the wire-pullers
are in favor of it ;, and they will keep
the party in subjection„or, ruin it in the
atte,rnpt‘.
Witness the vote in•the Senate of this
State on the motion to postpone.itto anti-
Nebraska resoltnion,s, when all the, Ad
ministration men i bers hot* two voted : Lo
postpone, which was equivalent to a vote
in favor of the Douglas bill ;,and. the
Senator from this, distric t ct wer with his
:party, in favorrof. Slavery.
We-ask our• friends to spreads these
facts among the people, and see what
influence they will have.

IVe see indibaticins:all around us that
the dishonorable course of the Southern

the way for the propagation of Mr.

language that will soon be very common
should this odious Nebraska.Bill.become

which so many good men are battling.
Potter county watched with the most
anxious solicitude the canvass of your
district. She was notAisappointed : and
now we. are permitted to see in our
national legislature a band: that will
inevitably leave their mark on the age in
which we live. There is Cluse, Wade,
and Giddings, of Ohio, Charles Sumner.
of Massachulietts, Wm. 11. Seivard, oti

The Way It Works.
The reckless course of the Politicians
at Waahington.in trying to forge through
the Nebras!kn, awindie, is. gathering a
siorm,at the North which will soon pu,
rify the atmosphere, and sweep forever
from the free States i that, most contempt
ible of all'human creatures, a Northern
pro-slavery Democrat."
The evidences-of this are accumulating
on every 'hand. Even in Pennsylvania
the people are beiinning to. repudiate
the control of the naturahallies of slavery.

"Nlre Pierce was the nom'nee of the

therefore, after such evidences of -confi

espousing the cause of the South in this
controversy, .he but vindicates the Con

his pledge to the country."
We think The above is matter of fact,

The Unity of Despots
Nations are but members of one great
family, as the brotherhood of mart,ls uni:ser
sal. This family had its first CAL despot,
and murderer, in the -eldest be,ra son of
Adam. And, as the original sin 'of the pa-
rents of our race has descended through
time and spread. over t 4, face of the earth,
have the C,ai,ns of the family of man
increased to stiike dow i
n nnocence with
the arm. of might: As the univervlity of
the brotherhood of man begins to be • felt
through the all-powerful agency of steam
and electricity. in bringing togather•and

impulses of great common interests of hu

love of Nrerty mja-ha,tred.of opp,-ession are
common to the masses everywhere;—that
the same arrogant assumption of power,
and disregard of the right, lurks in the hreast
of every tyrant, whether Czar, King, or
Slave Driver, thr4 did in the breast of the

.Of this the history of a few, years past is
a,striking illusttation. In 1818-and '49 the
