pies of the legislation of 1830, commonly cal

declared inoperative," and to; insert in lieu
thereof, the folloviing.!
Which, being inconsistent with the prin
ciples of non-intervention by Congress with
slavery in the States and Territories, se rec
.- ogitised by the legislation of 1850, commonly
called the Compromise mensuree,ie hereby de
clared inoperative and void, it being the true
intent and moaning of the Act. not to legislate
slavery into any Territory or-State, nor to ex

of perfectly free to form end regulate their

SUbjoot to the Constitution of tho United

WASIIINGITON, Feb. 8.
Seacter.—Mr. ,Briladliead presented memo
rials from the Society of Friends in.Pennsyl
'crania, New Jersey and Delaware, remonstrat
ing against a repeal of the Missouri Compro
mise. At one - o'clock the Senate resumed-the
consideration of• the Nebraska Territory bill.
Mr. Everett spoke at seme length. He said
be regretted that singe the" hill had been pro
posed he had not had time to examine the
constitutional and historicnl questions which
the subject involved. lie would tbereforo
simply give his reasons for his opposition to
the bill as presented for the notion of the ,
Senate. He wag an ardent . and conscientious
supporter . of the Compromise Measures of 1850
Irelind doubts as to the expediency of forming
this territorial government now on nocount of
the very limited number of inhabitants umbra
tied - within it; but in a year or more this ob
' Jet:Rion might lose its force. Me next object
ion was based upon the present Indian ocupan
cy of the territory; an I we tr.uld not do any
thing to disturb the gaoranteo of the Govern
ment made by these tribes. If the rights of
the Indians were properly secured, he enter
tained no dolibt hut he could vote for such a
r bill ns was introduced at the last session.
In.. relation to the language of the amend
ment relating to the Missouri Compromise, 'he
amid he regarded it se extremely objectionable.
If it was right to say that the Missouri Corn
noise was inoperative and voi 1, it would cer
tainly ho more direct end parlimentary to say
It is hereby repealed. lie contended that the
position mid principles of the compromise msea
sures of 1850, extended to all the territories,
and wore so clearly and eminently defined as
• to leave no doubt in any mind of their full im
port, and what were to be their exeluuive ope
ratians.
Mr. Smith t',en obtained the floor, and the
subject was postponed.
Senate,—Mr. Bayard presented two memo
rials from citizens of the State of Delaware,
against the repeal of the Mitßouri Compromise.
Mr. Seward presented a remonstrance from

the Nebraska territorial bill. The Senate then
resumed the consideration of the bill for the
-payment of claims duo for French spollalions.
Mr. Dodge, of lowa, spoke in opposition to the
bill. Ile said that these claims wore all in the
hands of a party of venal speculators, and
should never be allowed. Messrs. Pratt and
Pettit both strongly advocated the passage of
the bill. Various amendments were proposed
and agreed to, nod the bill having been order
ed to bo engrossed, was postponed. The Sen
ate then again resumed the consideration of
the bill organizing the new torritork of No
bra,ka.
Mr. Truman Smith having the floor, procee
ded to address the Senate i s opposition to the
bill. lle had always voted with the North on
these, questions. He was no Northern man
with Southern principles, but was conscien
tiously opposed to any slavery provision in any
bill p rovidingP for a territorial organization.—
We lad already territorieS onough without
this, and he was especisby opposed to dividing
this, end thus bringing in two new territorieb.
There were no white inhabitants legally in the
territory, according to the acts of Congress,
and therefore wore no legal votors there. lie
was opposed to any violation 'of, or interfe
with, our treaties with the Indiani of tho ter
ritory. to reference to the appropriations
stricken out, he expressed the belief that the
object al that movement 'was to prevent the
pending of the bill to t'te committee of • the
whole in the other branch, where more free
dom was allowed than in the House. The
Senate thou went into Executive Session, and
shortly after adjourned.

IL 4 5.The National Intelligencer adds the
weiglit of its influence to the opposition to the
tebraska Territory Bill, which repeals the
Missouri Compromise. The Iron. Jeremiah
Clemens, late Senator from Alabama, strongly
deprecates in a public letter, the re•opening
of slavery agitation by the attempt to pass this
bill. On the evening of the Bth inst. atown
meeting was held in Chicago, Illinois, which is
said to have been largely and enthusiasticalry
attended, in which Senator Douglass was do
nounoed by the old lino democrats, and by
many of his personal friends, on neeountof his
efforts to force the Nebraska Bill through the
Senate. Large meetings, without distinction
of party, haire been hold in New York, in Cin.
einnatti, in Pittsburg, in Cleveland, and iu
Norristown, in this State, expressing the pop
ular disapprobation of the bill. A great meet
ing is to be held in Pannell Hall, Boston, in
opposition to 'the measure. The country is
rapidly waking up to a proper seneo of the
threatened mischief and.outrage.

The shipment of Flour from our place shows
a tneagro report, and as it is not probable our
Farmers would hold the article back in these
times of high prices, we may infer that the
stock of Flour in this neighborhood is not very
large. Most of our Farmers made sale of
their crops in the early part of the winter be
fore the prices
. TO9O so* enormously. A far
larger quantity of Flour we notice was sent
from Chatnbersburg last week—the report in
last Whig showing that 1003 bbls, were sent to
Philadelphia, arii. 2030 bbls, to Baltimore.—
From what we learn, too, a . much larger quan- '
tity has been sent from Mechanicsburg than
from Carlisle, and probablrat least an equal
quantity from Newville and Shippensburg.
The Lutheretri Church
The Rev Mr. Fay, having received and no
corned a call from the Lutheran congregation
of this place, has entered upon the dischargek
of his pastoral duties, His introductory ser
mon, preached on Sabbath morning last, was
listened to by a largo and attentive audience.
His subject was, the relative duties of Pastor
and People, His discourse; which was n plain,
practiaal one, was well suited to the occasion,
and apparently highly gratifying to the con
gregation. Mr. Fry is a young man, and this,
we believe, is hie first charge. He comes here
under very favorable circumstances. So far
as our observation enables unto foim an opin
ion, the kindliest feelings tONV/10 de him exist
on the part of the members. We welcome him
to our town, hoping that the spirit of harmony
which at present exists, may continue to in
fluence and govern his members in future, to
that his !nay among us may be as pleasant as
hie commencement is auspiciatis. —Dem.
Judge Stuart up to Trap
Tho last Volunteer and Democrat each con
tain a letter from Judge Stuart, of South Mid
dleton, in which be -decidedly declines the
`empty honor of being voted for by the Cumber
laud county delegates for Canal Commission
er. Good for the Judge! It is shrewdly inti
mated that though he is aonsiderably of an old
fogey in the party harness, ho still has his
eyes open wide enough to see the game the
Young American .boys are trying to play.__
The Judge was thwarted in his efforts for the
Senatorial nomination, but he don't moan to
be tricked out of the Congressional 'nomination
by any such move as a.oomplimentary vote for
Canal Commissioner. There's an interesting
game going on—under oovor as yet. We must
keep an eye on it.

Om°, has bioome' worn out, and in'ofder. to
procure funds with which; pwbchaso others,
em,thtit they may-fie.able to continue their use
ful operations, • t
e - y propose having a course
• of lectures delivered, the benefit of which will
be appropriated accordingly. da this enter
prise they ask the aid' of the citizens, which we
' hope will he cheerfully gt4nted. Theroda no
sot of men in the • corninunity, in our opinion,
more entitled to- the sympathies - and hearty
support of the citizens than our patriotic Are
men. They endanger their health and place
their lives in jeopardy, and are always ready'
and willing to make any Sacrifice or exertion,
without considering their own discomfort, to
preserve property, and we see no reason why
when after wearing out their apparatus in
their , truly philanthropic efforts, the public,
-should--not-at-lenst-assist—therua small de
gree in •'replacing th •ra with new. We hnpe
that the ladies who have always shown them
selves to be warm friends of the red-shirted
gentry will not fail to exercise their influence
and-extend their kind in,. nago on this occa
sion.
-The foe of,admittance is very trifling, and
the lectures will be upon highly instructive and
interesting subjects, and delivered:by eminent
and able speakers so that our citizens may rely
upon receiving more - benefit from attending
them, with the price of ad at but twelve
mail a half cents, and at the some time encour
aging a good-cause, than by paying double the
sum to witness the performances of a setiof idle
serenaders or humbug theatrical pinyon( The
first of the course we understand will be deliv
ered in Marion hail to-morrow evening; by the
Rev. Dr. WENTWORTH. Wo need scarcely re
mark that something of a high order may bo
expected, as all who have had the pleasure of
hearing the Doctor are familiar with his talon
and ability as an orator, We sincerly true'
that thislaudable 'effort will meat with a hear
ty nepotist, from the people of our town.

TRIBUTE OF RESPECT
Died, at White Hall Academy, near Harris
burg, on the 2d inst., HANFORD MAxwma., in
the 19th year of his age. The subject of tilts°
lines was n young man of the most amiable
character, and highly beloved by all his friends
. and aoquaintanoes ; ho was -born and raised
noar•the Gap, Lancaster County, and lived in
that region until the Ist of November last
when ho loft there, and entored this Institu
tion for the present session.. During his so
journ here, his most excellent disposition and
amiable moral character, as well as his cor
rect deportment, made him the beloved and
es teemed of all his teachers, classmate and
associates.
'But it pleased an All-wise Providence to re
move him from onrth's trials and vexations,
and he departed this life after a short but
severe attack of the Pleurisy, which lasted but
ten days. In token of the high esteem vvitt
which the memory of his excellent qualities
is held by the members of this Inslitutuiti, tea
Teachers and Students Of said Academy met
on Monday, Pob'y 6th, and, adopted the fol
lowing resolutions . •
Whereas, the late Hanford.Maxwell has been
taken from us by the.unorring hand of death,
therefore, we, the mon:horsier White 'inn ,
Acaderny, , as a tribute of res act to the mem+
ory of the deceaeed, do adopt the following
resolutions:
Resolved, That we deeply deplore the bereav
ing visitation of Divine Providence manifested
in the death of one whom wo so dearly loved.
Resolved, That we mourn over the early de
parture from the busy scenes of life of one
whose light was darkened before it shone in
the full strength of its noontide glory; whose'
aspirations of future tame faded so soon, even
before the god-star of his youth and early
mental exertions had burst forth into perfect
day. •
Res°lyrd, Mat we fully appreciate the de
votedness of his brother and.sister's love who
watchOd over him as guardian angels, who
soothed his dark pathway to the tomb, and
who in meltirg tenderness lulled nature's last
agonies with did fervent kiss of kindred affec
tion, when a father's voice no more was heard,
and the eyes of a mother dimmed by the dark
ness of the tomb oould not behold the dying
son of their affections.
Resolved, That the nirmbcra of this Acade
my, in esteem for our departed associate, waur
the usual badge of mourning for thirty days.
Resolved, That theso resolutions be pub
lished in several of the adjoining county news
papers, and a copy of them transmitted to the
relatives of the deceased.
