IVE NEBIUBKA BILL
We have heretofore cXpressscd ouri
views briefly, but very decidedly, in favor
nf the bill for organizing the territories ofi
Nebraska and Kanzas, as it passed the
Senate of the United States on the morn
ing of the 4tli Instant. We did so, because
we felt that it was a just measure—just to]
(he Southern States of ibis Union, who are'
equal partners with the free States : n all
that belongs to the Confederacy, and just
also to the people who may go nnd make
[heir homes in this distant land, as well as
iri strict accordance with the theory of n
republican goverment, W n would be glad
if there was no difference of opinion among
our countrymen on this subject, and that
from ocean to ocean there could not bo
found a singlo advocate of Congressional
iriterference in the local atliiirsof the terri
tories, but that the question of domestic
slavery, as well as all others not inconsis
tent with, or repugnant to, the Constitution
of the United Slutes, might be left for the
people of those territories to decide as they
may think best. ThU, in our opinion, is
the view which nil should lake of it. Uul
because they do not, is no reason why we
should quarrel with, or think unkindly of,
any person, be he whig or democrat, for
'thus differing with us, wc have no right to
assume, as a settled point, that wc ure
light, and they wrong. Let us rather
reason togother, without either passion or
■prejudice, and by this means, those who
■possess right-thinking minds, will eventual
ly come together und all think alike.
1 he Nebraska bill proposes to establish
two additional territories, preparatory to
YhetT admission into the Union as indepen
dent Commonwealths. This territory is
divided by the line of 30 degrees 30 min.]
north latitude. In 1820, an act of ( on-j
gress declared that slavery should forever'
be prohibited north of that lino. I his ef-i
fcclually excluded the people of the south- <
,prn States, from going into and occupying]
this territory upon equal terms with their j
larelhren of the northern States. It wnsj
the demarkation of a geographical
linp of division between the north and the ]
pouth—a step against the adoption of which
the great Washington breathed his lastj
breath. , The present bill proposes to de
clare,.Altai law of 1820 inoperative, as it
does the old French |uw of Louisi
ana, which recognized the institution of
slavery, nnd thus leave the people, who are
to compose those new Commonwealths en
tirely, Tree, either to adopt, or to reject do
mestic slavery. Is not this fair?

“Since then, although hostilities have

“The English and French Governments;

Extract from a Speech of Gov. Bigler.
Gov. Bigler, in • his speech delivered at
the late consolidation festival, at PhilpdoF
pliia, alludes to our State as follows:
• Pennsylvania, it is almost useless to soy,
is rich in the elements of a great and pro*'*
perons Commonwealth. She is rich in the
variety and in the oxhaustless resourcescjf
her mineral deposits—in her coal, her irop,
her copper, her zinc, and other less pro
cious deposits. She is rich, and yearly be.
coming richer, in her agriculture and
manufactures —in all the industrial pursuits
known to our country—in Her railroads and
canals, and in every element of prosperity.
Her growth, just at this time, is progressing
with the vigor of youth. As ati evidence,
let mo remind you that her per centagri of
increased population since 1840 exceeds
any other Atlantic or old State. She has
also excelled in the productions of wheat,
of coal, of iron, and in many of the mantf.
Ifactures. How she has broken from the
i moorings that once bound her in a quiet
and dull port, is most strikingly illustrated
in the last nnnual message of Simon Sny.

gentleman on my right, (Mr. Dallas,) anj
i him on my left (Mr. Rush.) That patriot
'and statesman “congratulated the Legist
Hature and the people on the fact that £
I bridge had been erected over the Rtisque
' hanna river” —that a “turnpikerond \va»
! winding its wny towards Pittsburg, then a
I flourishing village”—that u similaraycnup
! was being constructed towards the north,
j And by wny of flattering the mechanic*,
the fact is stated that the bridge overthe river
had been commenced nnd completed in the
I space of three years! [Laughter.] I need
'not make the contrast between the condi
-1 tion of the State at that period nnd the pres
ient. Ho is dull indeed, who is not deeply
impressed with the amazing- change.—
/The most vivid imagination, in the day*
of Snyder, would have failed to paint the
realities of 18f>4. [Applause.^
On the completion of these turnpiko
roads, dawned the era of broad-wheeled
j wagons—superseding the use oft he pack
' horse in the buisness of transportation.—
i 1 do not know whether any of the mer
chants here present have witnessed tho
1 loading of pack-horses lor the west, but 1
'do know that there uve many who have
!had a hand in londing the broad-wheeled
1 wagons. After these came the cailal boat,
and ihen the iron horse. What is tocome
‘ 1 next 1 will not dare to predict; but I stand
' prepared to give countenance to anything
that imagination can describe, ns a future
work for the inventive genius of the “uni
versal Yankee nation.” [Laughter.]
Pennsylvania, I sincerely believe, never
saw a brighter period than the present;
never enjoyed n higher degree of prosper
ity, or n largpr share of confidence of the
world; nor stood higher in the scale a!
moral, intellectual and political dignity.—
And I sny this, gentleman, in no vain
spirit of bonsing, hut simply as a truth.—
I do not mean to say that her work as a
sovereign State has been complete—that
there are no social or political defects in
her condition; nor by any means to inti
mate that the great work of elevating tho
masses by education has attained perfec
tion. Whilst much has been accomplish
ed that is I onornble and useful, there is
still a mighty -work to he done before sho
will reach the altitude amongst the other
powers of tho earth that God and nature
have manifestly marked out for her. —
That her future will equal the most
sanguine expectations, lean see no reason
to doubt. That may grow greater,
belter, wiser and happier, as she becomes
older, is my belief and prayer. [Prolong

Tup. Whip Candid.\te. —Well, “the
child is born, and his namo is Pollock,—
The Hon. James Pollock, of Northumber
land County, ex-Member of Congress, la
the Whig candidate for Governor. Whv.
exulting peals will ascend from the Whip
in different parts of the State! The hig
bourse voice oC the mammoth city daily
will lend in tho hymn, and the shrill email
notes of tho mqdest country weekly will be
heard in echoing tho chorus. How the
types will rattle and the heavy presses
groan—to tell tho people all the virtues of
this new champion. It is not unlikely that
lithograph likenesses of him will he hung
in every bar-room, in every mill and smith
shop, and upon the most conspicuous tree
■at every cross-road in the State. He t®
not a military hero—indeed hisyate in
I Congress in favor of the expediency ofor*
! dering our troops to retreat —proves him
to be far'from brave. In a late campaign,
the Whigs learned that military heroes aro
not acceptable to the people —with their
characteristic shifting, they have gone to
; the other extreme —in the selection of their
|candidate for Governor. Mr. Pollocks
, retreating vote would give the lie to any
J one who would claim him as a hero or oven
I a bold man. Mr. Pollock is reputed to ho
j a gentleman of more than ordinary nbjjity}
a good speaker—and socially very agree*
’able. But did he possess each of these
j qualities in a much nipre eminent degree,
ho could not be made the Governor of Penn*
