ingUtah lerriory, it included a prt of Lounmnn; and the people ol the terriiorv are allowed to do by the compromise of 1 853 what the compromise of 1823 prohibits in Louisiana. Is it not plain that llio prohibi prohibi-liori - liori prohibi-liori u repealed in that ptrt of Louisiana in included - cluded included in Utah terriiory? And the present Nebraska bill by covering another portion of Louisiana, allowing the people the same privileges as in Utah, would repeal precise ly on the same principle the prohibition of 1823 over that part, the bill will cover, ex except - cept except it be maintained that the older repeals the latter law, which I suppose no man will assert. Yet the train of argument in the address though eonfused and misiified would hold out the idea that the com pi om om-isa - isa om-isa was rot repe tied over any part of Lou Louisiana; - isiana; Louisiana; if such be the view as I think it is, it is clearly contradicted b tho Utah territo territo-n - n territo-n l act. If the meauiug of the address bo Until denies the repe.l of the act overall Louisi ma; they are m tintainitig a proposi proposition - tion proposition s far as I rnq informed that no per person - son person denies. That the oompromi-e lint of 36. '3J, is abandoned in the compromise of 1853, will not be denied I suppo-n-, as i: was not applied to Utah, though north of 'hat line. From these facts the comprom compromise - ise compromise act being repealed over part of Louisiana in Utah, and the line being -abandoned in the formation of the some territoiy, is it not plain that principle of the Missouri compromise is superceded by the principle of the compromise of 1853. Strike 36. '33, and the pronibition of slavery out of Mis souri compromise, pray how much principle will be lellT -The address says, in speaking of the MU- sotiriaot, "for more tliaa thirty years (his oompact has been universally regarded and acted upon as inviolable a nerican law." This broad umversai.lt rsoardkd" is put forth with all the asurance of truth itself. On the contrary the reverse is the fact, i.tany at all limes regarding it is an uncon unconstitutional - stitutional unconstitutional net. I will cite but two author authorities - ities authorities to contradict the above assertion of the address. S P. Chae says, (app. cong glob, v. 22 page 913,) "we cannot constitution constitutionally - ally constitutionally bind the discretion of a future congress." John P.iUle says, (ibid page 1484 ) "I will content myseK with saying tha" I never will, by vote or speech, admit or SUBMIT to anything that iniy bind the action of our lettiilAtion here to make the parallel of 36, '3J, llie boundary line between slave and free tir'iloiy." I "ill put Chase and Hale of 185J against Chase & Co. oflC54 Hale repudiates the line of 3G, '33, and Chase .snys we cannot constitutionally bind a future Congress. Yet in 1854 he snys in his address to the people of the United States, th.itanactot is "inviolable Ambuican la,w" a law inrepealable. by my "rviuas Conqkess through all time. Can there be a Hitler contradiction than litis? When it suited his case, he would shout bspeaIi, now he will shout irrkpical- aulk! Can you, fellow okitens, see any punic faith" n this? Wln'.a those who put forth the sam doctrine now, that thef-e ti. men put lortii lour years ago, are neui up as 'criminal betrayers ot sacred rights; ol making "atrocious plo.s," in the foulest language that atroci.y can invent. The address depicts the consequences as being fearful, in the event of ihe passage of Ihe JNebnk and Kansas.biu. I heir propli- ech s nave not 'a'oiu uom me memory oi 'lie people of lliriison count, or f ont that of llie Union, Tobelieve tnese false prophets, slavery would be 11 mrishing now in Cali fornia, if uie-e was no congressional prolil bitioii; but Con gresg did not prohibit, and California is Free! -free by an VKAMMQl'8 o'i. ('(Velier ) The golden age of these false prophets: is gone by; they will like the rest of mankind, have to predict something probable be lore they will be believed. I do not believe they give any credit to their own prophecies, but are put forth simply ts create political capital. A writer in llie New York Independent of Feb. 9Ji, dated owa, Jan. 26th, '64, after writing a long letter to that abolition print, aga-nst the Nebraska bill, concludes by saying, "And when a State Is carved out ol Nt brasfca, three to one of i s people will be for xclud xclud-ing - ing xclud-ing slavery forever! Mark thai!" Yes let the political prophets at Washington, who m ike speeches and prophecies for buncumb, "mark that!". Let them mark what is said by one of their f ii-n.ls in the west, who lives, as he J-avs, among those from the south, as well as the North.,, U says, "we entreat you to be mindful of that fundamental maxim of democracy, equal rights and justice for all men.""

When a man approaches you and says he is in favor of your freedom, that in order to se cure that freedom to you, will prohibit you from having r voice in making your own laws, rsgard him with distrust.

At a time when: the Nebraska question is before the couutr, il may be interesting to know something ef the g ography of ihe territoiy, upon which the question of slavery or freedom, may after alt turn, and upou wbioh scarcely anything has been p .blish .blish-ei - ei .blish-ei in the newspapers. - Ti;e information, oo Nebraska is meagre at thi most. Aliogeiher the fullest and most accurate accoant that h is met my eye. is that to be found in the large volutins of Col.

Owen s Ueological survey gives information on the geology of ftewbtaska, and Schoolcraft's targe woik on Indians gives qui le full statistics on the Indian tribes ot the territory , ; Nebraska is so namrd, from one of its three largest rivers, the Nebraska or Platte. According to the retuans of the last cenu- it contains 13S.7U0 square miles, or a ler ritory as large as New 'gland, New York and South Carotin. It should be staled. however, taking the Southern line at 37 g., as Mr. Douglass proposes, the territo ry, as thus organized, win De much largei than the portion I Hal has usually been des designated - ignated designated as Nebraska; embracing a large portion of the Indian territory, and most of the Indian tribes, except the CLoctwas, the Creeks, the Cuickasaws, the Semino es, and a portion ol the Cherokee. Nebraska as proposed to be organised, win oe a vnst region, havintr the var.ous ilimates that lie on its Kistern border; only ihe climate, like the facu of the country, is more Asiatic. The eastern portion of it is ch eny parar.-ie and rich alluvial. The mid dle is moie sindy and barren, containing (be great American desert; and the wesieru is niounta n.'us, the highest mountains be- iug covered with almost perpetual snow.

Nebraska is and must ever be mainly an agricultural region. It is far from the ocean, and has no great- lakes. The Plate river, though from one tu three miles wide, is only navagable for steamboats forty miles. from w bat even the Indians have accom plished in agriculture, the country seems to hold out great hopes to the farmer . The aims there are mostly supported by ag riculture, and according to the returns be before - fore before me, four tiibes of Cbrisiain Indians on the northern and southern tanks of the Kansas, cultivate four thousaud acr.'S. From these, they raised in a late year, 83.- 000 bushels of corn, 2,690 bushels of went, and 12.0 JO bushel of oats, iO'OO hogs, 31)0,000 melons of different kinds. They keep 600 working oxen, and a large num number - ber number of horses. The annual value of their products is pi t down at $31,030. Tho number of these Indians is placed at ijvt.

Mr. Editor Dear Sir: I ' was pleased in reading your article headed "John Mitch -! el," in the So uinel of Feb. 15th, as you there decline to maintain the assertion that I objected to in the article of Feh. I. And as your remarks on foreigners is restricted and ijualined; but it you lecur to the last named article you will find it speaks of foreigners, and foreign patriot without any qualifica qualification - tion qualification whatever. I therefore took the pas sages as they read, in their obvious mean- in '. JNo man wouiu inina -i certainty lid not dream that your temarks srere di rected against foreigner of "Aristocratic title" only. Had tin language been used. crtainly would have wished you God speed. Let the readers of the Sentinel read the tii st and last articles in connection, I will leave it to th m to say whether the words of the second would be euggested by the words of the first article. Who then is to blame? The article of tho 15th says it was only such men is come to this country under some "aristocrp tic title," for instance, men 'ike "Bedini, Mitchel, Donohey and sueh eharactera.". Your mistake here is in hrinoing Mr Miichel into your "aristocrat ic class, tie is no "iiuea aristocrat, . ne is the son of a dissenting Irish clergyman, his occupation in Ireland and here, was. and is, an editor; if editors are "titled aris tocrats," he no doubt will plead guilty . .-Having - Having .-Having this information you will, no doubt, have his name struck out of thai "Notting "Nottingham - ham "Nottingham list." I would wA HCCBse the article of wishing to bring odium on Mr. Mitchel by coupling his name with that of Bedini. Thoy are antipodes in everything.if we are to belie e contemporary history. Bedini, the Ipiant tool of despotism, whq acted as a a spy and executioner (or Rome and Aus Aus-tra - tra Aus-tra who caused scores of Italian patrio s to be executed who caused the lamented and patriotic Ugo Bassi to be partly skinned with knives before his execution, foy . the crime of patriotism. To link such a man as this with John Mitchel whose only crime was patriotism, who sympathised with the cq inental patriot of Europe, who lost his all his liberty in his own land for being a patriot and opposing sucti men as Uetlini I say to link, to such men . together what ever may be tbe object shows but little discrimination! as welt might we set the dot's on the lamb because he was seen in the same stream - with the wolf. I have now done with the subject. : I endeavored to keep to the article, and to tbe writer as tuch writer only. Although you complain ol personal allusions every ptrson Can see if there be injustice done, the man , and the article is before them? But when you go out of the reoord-H-which yoa do and sneak of me as an "excitable man" hard te eonvincs, &c., here there is personality, without the wader being able to judire whether there is injustice done, as they have not thoman before them, xou say "he is an excitabl rase.' ; ' ; "h has peculiar a Uors and views about some things ef which it would be impossible to convince him thar be is wrong, ' i .) - y ' i 'Far he wou.14 of th same opinion etill.' " This I suppose means obstinate against all reason. ' Now should I reverse the pictuie and say of you. that "he is not at all excita excitable! - ble! excitable! ' He has no peculiar notions about any thing ot wnion ne oaigm not oe very easily convinced ":: - f'k " ' ' I For he would vary in his opinio still. ' Mine would b, worse poetry perhaps,' hat quite as tru,e hi yours, b,nt U would be personal, like years, therefore I wil! not say
