The Plot
Gen. Houston an U. S. Senator from
Texas has started on a visit home, via
Pittsburg. At Harrisburg, he was kept
over one train, by a failure to connect,
when a large number of citizens and resi
dents embraced the opportunity to call
upon him. The General is now temperate
in his habits, and when in that condition
is one of the most interesting of men. He
made no hesitation in declaring his belief
that the Nebraska scheme was devised by
some of the more reckless and small
souled and small-minded Small-Potatoes
among the Southern Nullifiers, who
hopeless of preferment by the Nation
wish to drive the North to extremes, and
provoke a Dissolution of the Union, that
they might rise in a more circumscribed
sphere ; for, "they had rather reign in a
certain place, than serve in a much bet
ter." We believe the General "knows
whereof he affirms."

With all thy budding flowers
With rapture I their coming greet
Among the fragrant bowers.
The little birds thy welcome sing
With songs so wild and free,
Their merry notes around us ring.
Sporting from tree to tree.
I hail thee with thy sunny bloom.
How tweet the morn begailes !
Now meltt away stern Winter's gloom,
And Nature's clothed with smiles.
A type of hope thou to the heart,
When sorrows 'round us cling
Though clonds our path awhile may dim,
We hope Eternal Spring.

Now, Senator Brodhead made a rpcech
and voted for the Nebraska Bill. " His
course in the Senate," says the Pennsyl
vania Democratic Convention, " entitles
him to the entire confidence and tvpport
of the Democracy."
If anybody can reconcile the first with
the last two resolutions, they can tell the

A habeas corpus was immediately got
out before Judge Jenkins, and a civil war
rant before Albert Smith, Esq., Justice of
the Peace, for the damages sustained by
the unfortunate man. A telegraphic des
patch was sent to Racine for a warrant for

The court house bell was rung; thous
ands flocked to the court house square and
around the jail, the excitement being in
tense. After some time; the crowd was
called to Jas. H. Paine, from the Court
house steps, when Gen. E. B. Wolcott was
chosen President, aud A. II. Bielfcld, Sec
retary. A committee, consisting of one from
each ward, was appointed to draft resolu
tions, and present them to the meeting.
The crowd, which had kept increasing,
was then addressed by Byron Paine, Gen.
Paine, S. M. Booth, and A. H. Bielfeld.
Each speaker was loudly cheered. The
resolutions were called for and read to the
meeting, and adopted with great cheering.
