The Nebraska Territory.
The most iibked and undUgni.std piece of
mockery which ha* heen exhibited for years is
the pretence of th? froesoilers that the abro-
gation of the Mi**ouri compromise Restriction
excluding slavery from the I/Ouisiana territory
north of 30? 3<)m. Ik violative of llto compro-
mise of 1B4U and contrary to the good faith im-
plied between the North and the South.
What ground have they for demanding n com-
pliance with the terms of the compact of 1820
when they have uniformly spit upon nnd con-
temned it? Why should they be tenacious of
the principle* involved when they rejected the
j ultimntimi of the NaHhvillo Convention propo*
iug to sdjuNt the controversy in relation to the
territory acquired from Mexico upon the basis
of that compact? Tho an*wer i* a* plain and
palpable a* i* their nufariou* purpose and evil
mission to plant discord undurminu liberty and
destroy'tho landmark* of State sovereignty and
bulwark of Southern Might*.
Ilccuuse the territory of Nebraska chance* to
be North of the geographical line of 3tt ? 30m.
they havo become all at once most Kenlouscon-
I vert* to the observance of m fkith which they
; heretofore vlolntcd aiid h?ve most zealously
j (Unowned tyhe compromise of I860 superse-
ded the Missouri Compromise and was pro-
I claimed by both the great parties of tho roun-
' try a* the /ins I settlement of thQ controversy
between tho North nnd tho South.
Tho South was willing to apply the Mis-
i souri restriction to tho Mexican territory ac-
quired but wsadaniod Iter moderate demand*.
If Nsbraska lay South of the Missouri line can
any one doubt thattho frco-soilers would plead
! the Act* of 18/50 a* a total repeal of tho Mis-
( souri restriction f The North might then with
jjiilltlcc proclaim that the South i* unmindful
j of thu obigstions of a solemn compact if the
{South were to fall hack upon tho Mi**oi>rl

compromise.

??? by ths Acsidcst; *??!? hia m?a|?gc upon
>1^ th? ScuaU and will hi all probability be
In some reaped* we regard this arrange-
merit aa very satisfactory; especially do wu
regard it in Uiis light on account of tire prob-
able mineral wealth embraced in the territory.
But whether it has any mineral wealth at all |
and Mup|>oiiirig that the land is not acturlly
worth the price paid for it yet the j>oasc*aion
of UiU. 44000000 acres with the important
facilities it will afford our government in not
by any means to bo diaregarded. On the
other hand wc are aaaurcd by the most relia-
ble authority lliat tlie land fur the moat part
iit fertile and that gold and Oliver arc very
abundmt.
The Picayune thus comments uj>on the trea-
ty which it publishes in full:
The treaty provide* in tlie Unit place for a
new and very convenient boundary with souie
acquisitions of territory the value of which in .
variously estimated. 'I'hey who undervalue tlie
treaty describe the land aa wort) ilea*; at moat i
that there are fuW Htrips that are fertile aud 1
thnt the remainder consists of barren deserts ?
and inhospitable mountains. On the other I
hand it is represented that there are large
tracts of flne soil and that the mountains
abound in the richest* minerals especially in
mines of gold nnd si'ver. We incline to tho
general estimate of the barrennoss of tho coun-
try and the reality of tho inouhttdn's wealth.
Tlie minerals are doubtless worth all the money
paid for the whole and wc nrc not wire thnt
the barrcnnens of the plains itt any great ob-
jection to tho purchase. It might indeed be
considered conducive to tho pence of tho bor-
! der if there were u desert uninhabitable for a
belt of miles along the boundary. It would
be a better lino than any river or any nir track
i?M>.ing tbroueh a more populated region. So
long as that part of the territory which wc re-
quire for a rond route to the Pacific Ik availa-
ble it i* of little conference in a pecuniary
and perhaps preferable in a political view that
the soul hern plains on cither side of the boun-
dary should not present temptations to settle-
ment by laces which would be sure to come
Into conflict *itli each other. Tho acquisition
of that route is for national purposes and with-
out ?aUing into account any of the territory
an object of great interest to our people and
great importance to our Government. It is
further contended that the new boundary line
in much more capable of defohce at one-fourth
tho expense than the former line by the Kivcr
Gila.
The second article of the treaty of Gurida-
lupo under which such An immense amount of
reclamations for injuries done by Indians from
the United States within Mexican territory
has been raised against the United States. It
was a powerful source of international conten-
tion from which exemption is cheaply pur-
' chased by millions of dollars. The substitute
agreed upon is a general compact to observe
the duties of good neighborhood mutually re-
covering property and restoring it to the own-
ers; the expense to bo borne by the parties or
Government obliged.
Articles third and fourth as contained in
the treaty negotiated provide for the payment
to Mexico ns a consideration for her conces-
sions of the sum of fifteen millions of dollars
and agree to assume all claims of American ci-
tir.ens against Moxico arising since tho last
treaty including the Gary claim (which Mex-
ico however protests is not a lawful elnirn.)
and appropriate live millions to extinguish
them.
To this arlicle the President objects and
proposes to puy fifteen millions with a mutual
agreement for each Government to nssiimo nnd
pay clnitMs against itself and to exonerate the
other from all claims except by its own citi-
zens. Tho whole which relates to Tehaunta-
pec lie wanld strlku out altogether.

with the mails cargo and passcngera on the
lbth ult. for iloatou direct instead of Halifax
to which the Niagara was to couie.
The Asia would follow the Alps and waa to
leave for Halifax on the 20th ult.
The- KuMiians hearing that the combined
lloeta had left the Ulack Sea Hailed out from
the port in which they had bc?n lying and at-
lacked the neighboring Turkish furt of Kolol.
They wero repuUed however.
CortachakoU' had surrounded Kalafat with
an army of 60000 men and waa under posi-
tive oruera liom the Czar t'j capture it from
the Turk*. A bloody battle was anticipated
to tukc place there at an early day.
It in now stated that England will Rend 10?
000 troopa to the scat of war st once and
that tho number will bo increased to 20000 if
neceaaary.
The lirst troop* to leave wero to embark for
their destination from Liverpool and Cork.
Tho Ixindou Globe sava that it wan probable
the chief command of the troopa would bo
confided to Lord Jlaglap.
The number of troops to be sent bv France
to the wiit of war it ia now said will in the
first instance be 40000. Thia number as in
tho case of thu Knglish troops ia to bo doub-
led in easo of ncccKaity.
'i'ho report that uegotiationa with tho view
of endeavoring to arrange tho ditlicultica be-
tween ifussia and Turkey without having re-
1 course lo s general war have been reopened
ia doubted. .
Tho Paris correspondent* of the London
Time* and Globe make jioaitivo assertions
however they have been.
The squadron sent to the aid of Turkey con-
sist* of thirty sail including twenty screw
steamers. 'i'ho rest are large and powerful
sailing vessels.
Among tlie HteamorK are the Duke of Well-
ington of l.'iO guns the Koyal George of 120
guns the Joan of Arc of 100 guns and four
oth? rs of 4S1 (V) nuns each. The total number
of guns mounted by the squadron ia 2000?
making it thu most formidable and dohtructive
tleet ever enoountcred by sn oneuiy.
ImporUiut intelligence was daily oxpcctcd
both from Asia and the Danube.
It ia stated in letters which have been re-
ceived here tlmt the Turkish forces in Asia
have been reorganized and that they consist
of 1*0000 in In nt ry and 6000 cavalry. The
Turks it is uaid are about to assume the oilen-
sivo in Asia.
GorlschakolV is reported to havo received
positive orders from the Kinperor to uso every
ctl'ort to drive the Turks from Lesser Walls-
chia.
Tiik Nkhkaska Biu.?A test vote on this
bill has been hud in the Senate of the (JuiUwi
Slates. The question hrk on Uio amendment
of Mr. Douglas. The Inst clause in the 14th
miction of thu Nebraska hill is in these words:
That lliu coiiNtitution and all laws of tho
United States which nro locally inapplicable
Khali have tho same force and effect within
the suid territory of Nebraska as elsewhere
within the United Stales except the 8th sec-
tion of the act preparatory to tho admission of
Missouri into tho Union approved March 8
1820 [which was superseded by the principles
of the IcgibiuUoii of 1850 commonly called
thu "compromise measures" and in hereby de-
clared inoperative.]
Thu question pending was tho motion of
| Mr. Douglas to strike out the words within
| lirackcts and insert in lieu thereof the follow-
| big :
Which being inconsistent with the prinni-.
I pies of non-intervention by Cougres* with
slavery in the States and Territories* as recog-
nized by the legislution of 1850 commonly
called thu " compromise measures" is hereby
declared inoperative and void; it being thu
truejntent and meaning of this act not to leg-
islate slsvrrv into any Territory or State
nor to exclude it therefrom but to leave tho
people thereof perfectly free to form and reg-
iilatu their domestic institutions in their own
way subject only to the constitution of the
UlUed Slates.
Tho vote was taken on Mr. Douglas' amend-
ment:
Yea*?Adams Atchison Bayard Roll Bon-
jamin Brodln-ad Brown Butler Calyton Daw*

NorrU Pearce Pettit Pratt Sebastian Slidell
StuartThompson of Ky.'looms Wilier Will-
isms- 80.
Nays?Allen Chase Rverott Fish Hous-
ton Se? anl Suiuunr Wado- 1?.
It will be seen from thu above vote that
tho Senate is clearly in favor of applying tho
compromise of 1850 to tho Bill. Those vot-
ing against the amendment arc all with tho
exception of lien Houston abolitionist* or
strongly hiolimd to freeoioiiistn. How Mr.
Houston got into smh company is nut easily
explained. Fifty ?eight m?nil?<-rs~thcre being
four va< amies -constitute a full Senate.?
There is no doubt that a ioa.h*ity of tho ab-
sentee would have voted for th? amendment. ;
