A correspondent in East Rochester, Ohio,
says, " The effort in Congress to foroe through
the Nebraska bill is doing wonders for the In
dependent Democracy, i do not know a man,
either Whig or Democrat, who favors the pas
?age of the bill, in this part of Columbiana,
Ohio."
Momthohjc, February <i, 1854.
To the Editor qf the National Era :
1 ought sooner to have written you the fact,
that the popular sentiment-of this District is
olear, and strong, and rising, in vindication of
the rights purchased by the North in the Mis
souri Compromise.
The disposition of many was to acquiesce in
the Compromise of 1850, as a sort of necessity;
hoping it would satisfy the demands of Slavery,
and give quiet to the oountry.
No one thought the concessions wo then
made would have inspired it with such arro
gant strength and guilty ambition; or that, in
defiance of all its pledges, it should wish to
spread its degradations, and crimes, and blight,
over a vast Territory consecrated to Freedom,
by the legislation and the popular aoclaim of
over thirty /ears.
Whatever may be the result of this aggres
Bion. it is certain that it has awakened dormant
energies that will not soon be allayed. The
South now has lost all claim upon our respect
and confidence. The want of faith manifest
in this olaim is so gross and flagrant, that
hereafter we oan plaoe no confidence in any
promises they may make. Slavery stands op in
the country?bold, defiant, faithless?making
impossible demands, to which we oannot sub
mit, until we ourselves are degraded to the
level of bondmen.
But my objcct, more particularly, in writing,
is to mention, that during our court, two weeks
sinoe. there whs held ut the oonrt-house a large
meeting. Hon. D. Wilmot was invited to ad
dress theui; which ho did, in strong and elo
quent terms. His speech was well calculated
to nervo the popular arm, and exoite the popu
lar indignation in resistance to these exactions.
He reviewed the whole Nebraska question, con
vincing the judgment?and elosed with appeals
to the patriotism and justice of his auditory,
that were responded to, loud and earnestly.
Indeed, there is but ono sentiment here?a sen
timent which, 1 earnestly hope, will yet save
our oountry. Yours, &c., L.
A GOOD SUGGESTION.
Greenwich, Washington Co., N. Y.,
January 24, 1854.
The Corresponding Secretary of our Free
Democratic League has been instructed to send
for a copy of the Daily Era, for the use of the
members. As many of these Leagues have
been and are being formed all over the North,
would it not be advisable for eaoh League
(wherever there is a daily mail) to instruct
their offioers to procure a copy for the use of
the members? I oan think of no one thing
that would tend more to arouse the People, and
oonoentrate efforts in the right direction, than
the reading of Buoh a daily paper.
Cannot something be done in this matter ?
In this way we oan secure you from loss, and
advance the oause more rapidly, by the greater
efficiency of our movements.
Wishing you the suocess you bo riohly de
serve, &c. K.
Pittsburgh, February 4, 1854.
It is with no ordinary degree of pleasure
that 1 this morning forwarded you the names
of thirty new subscribers for the weekly Era
These men are all operatives in one establish
ment, the Pennsylvania Iron Works; many of
them are master-workers in iron, and are
shrewd and intelligent. I mention tbese facts to
show oar frieods in other sections of the ooun
try, that the Free Demooraoy of the old Key
stone State is being composed of the right kind
of materials, they have formerly acted with
both the old political organizations, but have
beoome so thoroughly disgusted witn the despi
cable time-(?rving sycophancy of their lead
ers, as to utterly repudiate their old fogy asso
ciates ; and their cry now is, Free Sou, Free
Labor, Free Men, Free Speech, oivil and re
ligious liberty to all men everywhere, and un
der all droumstanoes. The signs of the times
now oertainly indicate a rapid growth of the
Free Democracy in this part of our State. The
introduction by Douglas of his infamous Ne
braska bill has waked up the slumbering en
ergies of our dtixens to the bold and shameless
aggressions of the slave power.
Dayton, ()., Feb., 1853.
The Nebraska Bill seems nauseous, even to
pro-Slavery men like the editors of tho Empire
Let the traitors pass such a bill, and they shall
have agitation to their heart's content.
Upper Providencr, Prnn , Feb. 6, 1854.
To the Editor of the National Era:
Agreeably to a resolution, I forward the pro
ceeding'* of a meeting, irrespective of party,
held at the above plaoe, February 4tb.
Thos. Hopkins.
Pursuant to public notice, a meeting of citi
aens of Upper Providenoe township convened at
Lumberville school-house, Saturday evening,
February 4 th, to express their view of tho
movements in Congress to repeal tho Missouri
Coaspromise. The meeting organised by call
ing John Peters to the ohair, and appointing
George W. Suplee as secretary; when, upon
motion, a committee of five were appointed to
report resolutions expressive of the sense of the
meeting. The fallowing-named gentlemen
constituted the committee, to wit: Thos Hop
kins, Jo*. Fithwater, E. H. Nichols, William
Davis, John Jaoobs.
The following preamble and resolutions were
reported, and unanimously adopted:
Whereas efforts are now made to national
ise, extend, and perpetuate Slavery in territory
declared, by a solemn act of Congress, to l?e
prohibited forever; and whereas history and
experience alike tsaoh that breacbee of faith,
honor, and justice, in the representative or
legislative power, tend to demoralise the peo
ple : Therefore,
Rtsolved, That all attempts to degrade the
national character, through violations of a sol
emn oompact, to aid in the propaganditm of
Slavery, is an outrage npon the virtuous intel
ligence cf the people, by a grievous wrong to
posterity, who mu*t reap the bitter fruits of
their fathers' crimen.
Rtm.lwd, That the avowed object, and prac
tical results embodied in the Nebraska Bill, if
suooetwfully carried out, will be treason, in its
worst form, to the spirit and letter of the Con
?titution, and of the declared purpose for which
this Union was formed.
Resolved^ That the present attitude of South
ern politicians and their Northern aids olearly
proves, that neither compact, law, nor the Con
stitution, is held sacred, or of any binding force,
if it interferes with the reokless and remorse
less aggressions of Slavery.
Resolied, That should the Missouri Compro
osise be sacrificed in behalf of Slavery, a prece
dent will be established, hy which all oompro
mises may be buried in oblivion, whenever the
People tthall we proper to demand suoh action
in behalf of Freedom.
Resdvtd, 1 hat, in view of the fatal wrong*
which thioken around, wo earnestly implore
our dtisens, by all their hopes of our oonntry
for the future, by all the obligations resting
upon us as Christians and patriots, to maintain
the truth and ths right, to solemnly oonsider
their position and responsibility, ana, as their
hearts and judgment shall diotate, no to net,
independentof all influence* but suoh as should
govern just and houorabls men.
On motion, a copy of the ab.no proceedings
waa directed to be proven tod to each of the pa
pers at Norristown, for publioati4B.
LOCAL.
QjF* A railroad froui the remotest practicable
point in Georgetown to the Navy Yard Gate
oannot fail to benefit our oity. It will meet the
present demand, and it will increase that de
mand. It will, in effeot, contract our magnifi
cent distances. The interests of the oentral
parts of the oity will be promoted by it, and
the interests and couvenienoe of distant sec
tions will be equally promoted. A resideooe
within two or three squares of the lino of this
road will bo almost as convenient as a residence
in the very midst of the oity. It will blend the
facilities and pleasures of town and country.
We know of no good argument in opposition to
the measure. By whom it shall be consum
mated, and upou what terms, are altogether
different questions.
To-day is one of earth's choicest?mild,
clear, and trauquil; and, though the flowers
of epring aud tho foliage of summer are not
seen, our promonades aro adorned by multi
tude* of the still more beautiful creations of
Heaven.
An Actor's Funekal.? The remaifla of
Mr. Charlos F. Adams were yesterday depos
ited in the Congressional Cemetery, near this
City, The Rev. A. G. Carothers, of tho Fifth
Presbyterian Church, officiated on the occasion.
All the members of tho theatrical profession
in thia City, and other friends, including the
distinguished tragedian, Mr. ?dwin Forrest,
were in attendance. Tho appearance and do
meanor of the company were exceedingly pre
posossing and decorous, and the religious ser
vices, including the remarks of the young min
ister, wero appropriate and deeply impressive.
03?*" Ovid F. Johnson, formerly Attorney
General of the State of Pennsylvania, and of
late yoars well known at the National Capital
as a political writer for Democratic journals,
died in this oity yesterday afternoon, aged
about fifty years. Ho was a man of exoellent
taleuts, of great aptness and energy, and of
many estimable traits of charactcr; but the
enemy that still lies iu wait for thousands
lured him to his ruin, and he died, forgotten
or forsaken by the friends of his convivial
hours. He yielded to the Tempter, and perish
ed ; and yet the Tempter is protected by the
laws.
Messrs. Wilson & Jones, of the Newport
(Ky ) Silk Manufactory, have on exhibition at
the National Capitol some very beautiful spe
cimens of the produots of their skill and indus
try, which attract much attention.
