In making tLLs, our editorial bow, to the ci'izcns
of ClearSell, it becomes oar duty to state, briefly,
tie position, we occupy the principles yro advo
cate, and the course we intend-to pursue.
. We hare come among you as a stranger, to luke
charge of a papt r own J n t by ns, but by a portion
of yourscives. and while we duly appreciite the
honor, if we may be allowed the expression, we al
so deeply feel the responsibility, attending a rirbt
and proper discharge of our duties. The position
of an Editor is at ail tiir.es an unenviable one.
in oar case it is peculiarly so. Unacouaiated. in a
great measure, with the business and resources of
the county, we are neeessari'y dependant upon oth
er for information, whijk, in mjny instances, may, -
perhaps, prove incorrect. An J when to this we add
the iovel'y of the position, our youth and com
parative inexperience, it iniy iiot seeia sinu'ar, if
wo should approach the task with some decree of
timidity and fear. We shall, however, strive f.iith
fal!y asl fearlesa'y, to discharge our duties to our
imployers, tO' oar party, and to the Public, that
- when ocr editorial career may be run, we can re
si -n the chair, with the proud satisfaction of a clear
con? denes. - - ' -
In Politics we fully adopt the creel, and advo---cale
the piineiples of the Whig Party. To culti
,.vaetho arta of peace, to adl to the prosperity.
tLeTirtce. the i-itelligenee, and the happiness of
it people, to give an Influence to the cause of
freedom th it 'armies ail navies cannot restrain,
to preserve our Union, and so conduct it as to hand
it down, not only unimpaired, but improved, to the
latest ages of post.erity the?e are the-Wkig prin- ;
clpies for whieh we battle. Wa love, those Princi-
- pies, and we love rhe Whig name, with all its noble
and inspiring associations, to well to desert them.
It is the name of the advocate of freedom and of
am in all past ages the name under ?whioh our
patriot Sires fought for, and obtained our Nation
al Independence.. And though we. like them, haxe
met with disaster and defeat, still shall our glori
ous c-.tso bo pressed f.r.virl and onwari. with the
spirit of our Whig ancestors, to a final and decisive
triumph. .

Till that b3 jnst pcs-ed the House of Representa
tives by a vote of 1 13 to TOO, and which has created
so great an excitement throuzhontihe country, .he
Missouri Compromise, passed ia 1S20. tas hc.n dc
cTored '-iropora'ive and vcil.,: That Comiromiso
prohibited s'avery in nil territory north of the lire
of 31 deg. 3Dmin. which lice now forra7 th3 ?oa'h

ject of declaring the line inoperative nndvoil."
was to introduce slavery ino the3j fafnro Sta'es

bpekd np too by the Tioro Admints'ra'.ion. de
el ire that slavery cm never cvit there, owinr; to
climate nnd other eirnm,',ne;g! And when aske l
wb.v.if it never could cxU fhere.they wi.?he l to re
peil ameasnre thnt. under such circumstances, could
cause them no inconvenience, they answered -to
euro the wounded honor of the Sou'h '." Thus the
A-ble country had to be again thrown into a state
of cs;ifement. the vexel que? ion, which was
thought to have been settle 1 by the Compromise
Measures of lSrfl had to bo again agitated the dy
ing embers of Xor'hern nnd Southern fanaticism
again to be f mnd into a flame, and all for what ?
As a balm to the imaginary wound on the honor of
theSouthJ- '
Strange. passing s'range, that it was left far the
microscopic eyes of Mr. Touglass to discover this
awful blemish on the fair cscucheon of Southern
honor! For thirty years a Calhoun and a Clay
could gaze'upon hat dark spot upon the honor of
their Southern horn is. and never once saik its re-'
moral. Cut now, that both have passe 1 away, the
mijbty '-gijint" of the West aiiscB the champion
and defender of .Wr wounded honor! And to ac
complish his design, the Missouri Compromise, the
work of our fathers, who pledged th'ii -honor in its
support. made ga-cred too. as it is. by the name
and the f nr.c of IIexkt Clay, had to be trampled
in the dust !
ICor waa anything of the kind sought by the
South. Sir. Pouilcss was a volunteer, acting upon
his own responsibility, and to secure his OTn per.
sanalonds. Th-j AdiuinN'ration. to recover i's losr
s rength. seized ho!d of the hobby, with the design
of nationalizing itself and fell back upon ' the lit
tle giant," who thus becoino at once tho great ex
ponent and embodiment of the principles of De
mocracy, and th parliamentary leader of the
Pierce faction in the Senate.
And what, we may inquire. is proposed to be ac
complished by thii unasked for legislation? Why
to settle a principle, they say, the right of the
people in the territories to establish or prohibit
slavery themselves. They allege, that, under the
Constitntion.Congres-j has no power to lagij'ate up
on the ques ion of slavery for the territories that
the clause empowering them to -make all needf jl
rules and regulations respecting the territory and
other property of the United States," do -s not
app'y to this question. Now it would ecui very
singular, indeed, that the States could not do what
they plcascj wi.h their own property; certainly a
very novel idea, that Congress h is power to mark
lints, sell or give away auy portion of it exer
cise ualimite J sovereignty over it in every other
respect, and yet hive no power to siy whether sla
very shall exist there or not!
Eut the bedt evilenc3 of th-j meaning of a I iw.
is the intention of the persons who frame 1 it, to be
gathered from surrounding circumstances, ns well
as from the 1 itself. I.ct us apply th'u rule to
he Coi s'iution. and what is the re3ult? The or
dinance of 1737, of which the Missouri Compro-
uiija is slm'y an ex'ension wna frame 1 at t'a xnn-

ed by thf National Conversion, asmb'ed for the
purpose ia Philadelphia, which bodies were in nl
mcs' hour'y commu'iicaiion wth each other, and
leading members of each, attending in both by
tarns! " Now, is it to be presumed for a moment
that thes" men would one day prohibit Congress
from legislating on slavery in convention, and tho
r.ext. enter the legislative halls, an! enact a law
establishing slavery in one portion of the territo
ries, and prohibiting it in another?
There can. then, be no qu-C3 ion as to the conti
tutionality of the Msoa.-i Compromise; and so far
from bcini? tho et','ikm-nt of a principle, the
passage of the Nebraska Bill has been an utter up
rooting of all the compromises of the Constitution
yea. we might almost say, of that very instrument
i'cO?f.

The Fdo o .e Pnhiis AVorl
It is ratiier nmnsing to read omo of the elabof'.te
arguments of the Democratic press, ia favor oft ho
sale of the public works, since Gov. Bigler ias
si jned the Bill, to wh'sh ho was driven by the huge
vote it received in both brioches of the Legi4-j
ture, and the unmistakable sentimenfifcf the peofle.
A few months ago. every locofoco -org in' iaf he
State, with but one or two exceptions, violentlyop
poseil the measure; not because, as they allcgdB, it
would create a "gigantic monopoly,"' but bejue
was and is essentially a whig measure. a pitii of
the whi c-eed. an 1 urg.-dupoa th- Lci.-ltu bv
whig influence. But having discovered tht it
wis also t:c measure of the people, and that qfery
attipt to prcvarie ite an 1 get round it dial filed,
they now turn the tables, and having -i-eejivi ad
ditional lijjbt on tho subject.' enter into lejgthy
i:nd most convincing arguments, ia favor 0 the
bill, which, during us whole passage, they h ve
hemently opposed. 3
The -'gigantic monopoly.' that T.as to 4rush
down the int;or-eits of the old Keystore," is ftrgot
ten. or rather the inafcr is got over by saying that
t'jompanies have to power over the m:iss of th puo-;

Our candidate for Governor, the Hon. James
Pollock, as a profound lawyer and popular speak
er, is without his superior. He was first elected to
Congress in 1833. to fill a vacancy, occasioned by
the death of the Hon. Gco-.oe Fkick, of the 13th
District. He ran ag linsi, John Sxtder in that Dis
tiict that usually gave 120') of a Democratic ma
jority, nnd was eleeted by a large voie. He ran
again ia 13U a jainst Gen. Wm. A. Petrekiv, and
was elected by an increased majority. In 1315 he
beat Allisos White, by over"'1400, thus having
revolutionized Lis District three different times:
Of Mr. Pollock's unexceptionable private char
acter anl moral worth, no better evidence .can be
given thaa the almost unanimous vote ho recieved
tbreo times from his friends and neighbors, when
a candidate for Congress. ,
Of Mr. Dabsie our candidate for Canal Commis
sioner, it is only necessary ta say, in the language
our opponents themselves, '-ho is a man of great ex-!
perience in our public councils, a. fluent and ready
debater of unexceptionable moral character,
