Repeal of the Missouri Compromise.
The bane of our polities, is contained in the am•
tririnins longings of public melt for the r i esidericy.
It is thin. which ilebancliet and demoralizes it, and
perverts it from its proper and leuitainate purposes,
to 6elli-h aml sinker ends. The high Ind elcva
'led position of Chief Magistrate of the Republic is
the glal to which most of our political men direct
their hopes, and mr•tead of relying upon their bog
services and devotion to tlicir country, to recoin•
mend them no the people, endeavor by demagogi
cal arid it telioneet practices, by pandering to section-
Al prejudices, arid try all the low and vile tricks of
adverunrci 5, to out s trip competitors, and by chica
nery and management, to attain what their deserts
would never secure them.
This lamentAtle fact, has become more apparent
within the few lasi years tVithiu that time, large
accessions have been made to the Territory of the
United States, and the en.erprise and prosperity of
the country are bringing itdo Notice, that which we
have possessed for years A. a colosequelice, ques

spirit of candor and patriotism, and

effect their settlement with a view to the luture
greatness of the country.and the spoil of our free in.
stitutians, there has been exhibited so much of a
disposition among public men In truckle and bend
to particular interests, when those interests are
powerful and united, that he who looks with anx.,
ions gaze fur the future, has good reason to be
alarmed
We had hoped that an end had cianis to this
had hoped that a time had arrived When such
a settlement had beeh made of itte slavery question
as would put that, in a measure at least, out of the
leach of Presidential aspirants. We had 'good cause
for this hope, that has been rudely scattered to the
winds. The slavery dismission of previous years
had been settled in 1850—we need nut say how
co.draty to what we conceived to be tile true man.

settled, however, by the Compromise measures,
and the friends of Fieedom lor the sake of peace,
had acq' iesced in, and' : wool.l 11: , t endeavor to dis.
turb them. Ttieirfitiq/dy t.as becii ie.asserted ma
ny times .. iii Cug,ess, and out of that body. The
Conventions of the tao great poll ical divisions ol
;ileum/1.4y, assembled at Baltimore, pledged them
selves to discourage any attempt ate renewal of
the agitation. President PIERCE, in his annual mss
sage, congratutating, the country upon the peace
which reigned, held up anew the olive branch.and
gave us his assurance that this quiet should suffer
no shock during his administration.
hid we not reason for hope and congratulation?
The sky of our psiLical nor ziat was anclouiled,and
even in the future thew loomed up no ciouds par
tending the storm. We congratulated 'ourselves,
we say, upon the final ertileineni of d e slavery
question. sri's hall .. tao apprehensions that at any
future time it shovel Anse to di-hart and overthrow
the Democratic party. There was DO loot of our
soil which had not already been legisli ted upon
The question as far as regarded rim acquisitions
from Mexico, had been sealed tiy the legislation
of 1850. The Missouri Compromise and the Or.
klinance of 1787, covered the remainder of our Ter
ritory. 1 nese three solemn covenants, it legisla
tion can have any solernticy, gave us just cause for
the hope that was in us.
Short-sighied and credulous that we were ! At
most at the commencement of the session, belore
the message has been referred, is commenced a
discussion, and re opened an agitation of the quits
tion, which so many have
,for three years been en
deavoriog to convince as was finally settled—set
tled forever! Before the declaration of Gen. Pinez
had reached the most remote shores of our extend
ed Republic--.lbere comes a "shock" destined to
seriously disturb the equilibrium of the Democratic
party, and whose consequences upon our country
may well be viewed with apprehension. This set.
tied question is re-opened in a manner calculated
most effectually to engender sectional animosities
and jealousies, to arouse the elements of discoid,
and to precipitate the country into a heated and
unprofitable discussion
And who is responsible fgr this change Irom
peace and quiet fo discord and contention Who
has evoked the eell spirit which sets in brooding
darkness over the country ? Upon whom should
fall the odium of introducing questions into our Na•
tional Lg..gislattire so eminently calculated to dist.
turb the peaceful repose of the country, and ender!.
ger its security I Not to those, most certainly ; who
labired to extend the protection of the 34ffersonian
Ordinance ro the Territory act,nired from Mexico.
Not to ihoee alio were Brine? on the side of Free

which prevails in the breasts of Southern man has
no sympathy with Northern tipaghlaces, sad the

they receive, as tney..puttly, merit, theic z eontempt.
We can ['gime Senator Doom.ss that the South ne
ves has, ant we believe never will support any
mail fur the Presidency, ari L lhe reward of subset
vwncy. They may accept any measure which
tends to strengthen the influence,of the slave inter.
eat, if tittered by Northern men, but they have for
the donor, leelinge of contempt for the traitor who
p.oves recreant to the cause of Freedom.
1
We hazard the pr.ldictien that any Noithem man
who aid and abets in this infamous proceeding,
urn never become the President of the United Antes.—
These is integrity and spir►t.enough Jell in the pen
pie to prevent that. In the first place, the South
will never allow such to become.a candidate—and
if presented, the indignant rebuke 01 a free people,
despite the trammels of party, or the influence of
patronage, would be spoken in toriespot to be mis
understood at the ballot-box.
We heat the plea put forth, that the question. of
repealing the flifissouri Compromise, is an Admin.
Istration measure, and supported and encouraged
by the President. We should regret exceedingly
to be petiole that such is the fact. We have placed
our highest hopes upon a brilliant administration for
Gen Pit-rice. We have supported its general poli•
cy, a. being in our judgment calculated to advance
the highest interests of the country and conduce to
the harmony and prosperity of the Democratic par
ty. We have given our support, from these con
viction& But the collar sits light:y upon our neck,
and . we are not ready to obey the behests of the
tr powers that be," when it is asked of us to do r io
fence to our sense of right, to act courier Irs out
convictions, to repudiate our former opinions, and
to enlist on the ride of slavery extension. In this
respect, rank us not as friends of the Administra
tion. If a cordial and earnest support of the efforts
of the Administration to introduce economy and
•
system into the Departments—if an adherence to
old-fashioned. but progiessive Democracy—are not
sufficient to entitle us to the designation of being
friendly to the National Administration, we regret
it, but will not complain.
We say we should regret to be assured that the
violation of the Missouri Compromise was an Ad
ministration measure, because we look upon all
attempts to identify the Democratic party with sla
very propagandism, as certain to resulein disaster
and defeat. The great mass of that party utterly
loathe, abhor and detest slavery. The party or
ganization may be controlled and used to the bene
fit of slavery, but when the people are called upon
to ratify that action; they will certainly stamp it
with the mark of their disapprobation. No man, or
set of men, nor the power and influence of a Na
tional Administration can manacle the hands and
control the voice of a Free - Democracy. The pat.
rona.ge of the Administration may muzzle the press,
may silence public men, may even coerce and se
duce members of Congress enough to fasten this
iniquity upon the country, but it cannot avert the
odium which would attach to its memory forever,
nor prevent the people from the expression which
the ballot-box allows them. -
The Governor, on his re'urn from Erie, has sen t
into the Legi.leture, quite a lengthy and able mes
sage, in which he reviews the whole Guage diffi
culty. The Franklin Canal and Railway properly,
is now in the possession of the State, and its opera
tions udder the direction clan officer of tier own
selection. The Governor very forcibly remarks
that the Commonerealth has had no controversy
with the citizens or corporations of other States, nor
has she been inclined to interfere with their rights
or in'erests; or to unnecessarily interrupt the travel
or commerce of Thesountry. She has been dealing
with a refractory creature of her own, which had
most palpably "misused and abused" the privil
e;es conferred upon it by law; a corporation that
had attempted the usurpation of power, that hail in
fringed the sovereignly oldie State, and invaded
her rights of eminent domain. If in this contest
she was brought into collision with citizen and cot
poiatione of other Slates, the difficulty was not of
her own seeking. The vindication of her honor
and dignity was a duty which she could nut ne
glect ; and he has no hesitation in saying, without
any reference to the difficulties at Erie, that it was
right and poli'io on the par! of the State to exercise
the pciWer which she had reserved over this curpor
aiion .
The company were admonished at every step,
that they were transcending their legitimate pro
vince; but the only effect seemed to be to stimu
late them to greater indignity to the State, and in
creased latality in the consumation of their own de
'unction.
In felerring to the bitter denunciation which hail
been meted out to him and the citizens of Erie, by
parties out of the State, for altegir,g that there should
be a break of gunge at Erie, he remarks : A de•
mand for an unneeesascy break of Railroad gunge,
and the consequent transhipment of tonnage and
passengers, it will conceded, would be an illiberal
exaction, and an improper interruption of the com
mercer of the country. Bat such is not the position
of the question at Erie. The necessity for a break
of page between the West and the Atlantic ei.
ties, results from the policy of New York and Ohio,
and not from that of our own State. The railroads
of Ohio are unitormly four feet len inches wide, end
those of New York, forir feet eight and a half inch,
es, except one which is six feet in-Width. A Miro
shipment it therefore inevitable. It must Occur,
and the only question is es to the proper ltoint.—
Afieiall the reflection f have given the subject, 1
must again repeat what I said in' my last annual
message; that I cart see no reshot' founded in 'pub•
lie policy' why the beak sTrootd occur at 'Utah);

A Noble Letter.
The following letter horn Hon. Poems, Kiss,
war addressed to the Committee ol Arrangements
for the Meeting held at Fanecil Hall, Roston, on the
16th inst., to protest against the violation of Nation..
al obligations entered into at the passage of. the
Missouri Compromise.. The letter does honor to
the head and heart of the wiiter, who is known.
throughout the country as one of the most able and
reliable friends of Freedom, whose integrity no.
patronage bps been able to seduce, and whose
courage has defied all denunciations. It would be
well for country, if more of our public men were
like Pacs - ron Kinn. Faithful among the faithless,
he has never for a moment swerved from the path
of honor and consistency, and now towers far above
the reach of his enemies, commanding the respect
of every honest man. His letter will meet with a
hearty response from the Democracy of this sec.

The gage of battle thrown down by Mr. Douglas
challenges such action. The tyranny and proecrtp.

who do not bow the knee to slavery justifies it.—
Mr. Douglas raises the standard, and challenges a
political contest upon an 'issue that many have re

The prohibitory Liquor law came up in the Sen

considerationorhOh provided for search for liquors.
Mr. Quigele mused hi hi emend, providing in el

,The relative merits of the two stme i ndmente were

anon Compromiie, in the Nebraska bill, earner up
in order on second reading. .
Mr. Foto moved that the further conpide r atier, o f
the resolutions be postponed until the 15th of March
next.
, Mr. B. D Hamlin moved to amend the minim
by postponing. until•the 15-h of May nest, which
amendment was negatived.
The'question recurring on the motion to postpone
with the 15. h of March next,
Me.Piatt said he would state his object in mak
ing this motion. There was some feeling in the
district he represented on this subject. A meeting
was to be held in Bradford county this week, pro
'eating against the repeat of the Missouri line. Sus
quehanna cnnnty would probably hold a nesting
on this question, and in all probability a meeting
would be held about the,lst of March in Wyoming
county. He wanted to have an opportunvy of know.
ing the feelings Dana constittients end aerie would
necessarily be absent for some time, end not return
. until the meeting ol the Stale convention, he made
the motion to poetpcne until March 15th.
Mr. Kunkel remarked that this Nebraska bill was
pending in Congress, and would most probably be
acted upon before the 15th ol March He thouiste
that the Senator from Wyoming [Mn • Plan) could
notossibly mistake the sentiments of his outvote
it

quetion in Congress, or in any of the Ls.undatines

ment until the 15th of March •as- tantamount to a
detest. ,
Mr Platt replied that he might be con: pet le , l by
instruction, to vote for the resolutions. but his own
feelings would lead him. to vote against them. He
was opposed, Item principle, to instructions of this
character. .
Mr. Bunkalew was ready to meet this question at
any time, having COIIVICIWUP on the subject which
Could not be changed by delay,'hut he would vote
for, postponement, in order to accommodate the
Senator from Wyoming
Mr. Darsie thought that the Senate should act
now, when action would be evadable On the 15th
of March the qiresinn would be disposed of, and
if the resolutiore were postponed until that time.
the evil would be done.. He hoped that the Senate
would assume the responribility of scion now,
The people would understand a postponement to
be a deleted the resolutions.-
