A meeting of abolitionis's, Van Burgnites, free soilers, and others opporod to the Nebraska ‘bill, was held last night at the Broadway Tabernacle. There were between ‘two and three thousand persons present, among whom we observed about twenty or thirty ladies. On the wall of the passage leading to the building there was a large poster requesting all who attended the meeting to sign a a petition against the Nebraska bill, and each person, be- fore entering, was presented with a ticket which he had to return to a man which was stationed at the door. at was called to order by Moses H.

This, there. fore, was why they had come toget har once more to enter & protest against the passage of e was to say—infamous bill. It was # bill fraught with Weer thing but that which a freeman could desire. It was in violation of an ancient compact and of a great and settled principle, that the country which they belonged to and the constitution under which they lived, were made for freedom and not for slavery. The Missouri compromise was in effect this:—That when the great contest of 1820 took place, it was not that there should be a limitation of slavery by degrees of latitude and longitude, but that | there should an actual inhibition of slavery in the Territory. That was the question then asserted on the part of the North. After the great contest of two years?’ space, the question settled down in this man- ner—that Missouri should be admitted with slavery, rovided that the territory which lay beyond it should be dedicated to freedom. What was the Missouri compromise? It was the sixth article of those arti- cles of compact known as the ordinances of 1787, whereby all the territory northwest of the Ohio river should forever be dedicated to freedom—the +t birth- right of every man who crossed the Ohio river. That | great question of compromise entered early in the his- tory of the country. It began before the constitution of the United States was adopted—it was in the early Con- ied of the confederation, and it was carried through rom that to the Congress which followed. As early as 1787 the ordinance was propos, by which and through which every foot of land which was not then included in the old Staies of the Union, and the Territories the other | side of the Ohio river, were dedicated to freedom. That was the first great principle of the confedeggtion; and then came the constitution, made by the m 0 had fought and bled in the name of liberty.

However, he would offer a few observations in aid of the tions of territory, and the question came up—\ Will you limit slavery in Missouri?” The North decided with one voice, that it was better for the honor, better for the safety, better for the prosperity, better for the power and strength da pte Hie ee — and not slavery shou! in that Territory. use. The State of New York, and the whole North, Aer eraree} that Feed was, in their judgment, an evil, and that it was desirable that it should not be extendod; that Congress had the constitutional power to limit i and | that it was their duty to restrain it in the matter of Mis- | souri. They so instructed their representatives, and they so yoted, and the resolution passed in 1820 was, he believed,an almost unanimous one, Such had been the opinion of New York upon that _frest question, and it had acted up truly to sey Se iples of the resolution. He did not understand New York to stand to com] of the constitution, but loyal to them—not ‘a8 opposed to What was just and right in these new Ter- sieeea, but as having in view only the honor of the re- ublic and the safety of everything that belonged to the ke a3 een the rights of hates 4 one of those who belong- ed to the republic. He knew that there were great con- siderations~powerful motives, brought to bear wy) this question. He knew the influence of political feeling; he knew the power of the administration in swaying the minds of men; but when that administration said that reasonable men should not have an opinion upon such a question as this, it was a doctrine w! not vield to. It was neither becoming him, nor any man who valued his independence or his position as one of the great integ. ral portions ery nation. He trusted baw ed great i jority—nay, oped heard him, ‘would be ready to act in sucha matter. He wished to mpugn the motives of no mag; but he meant to speak his george public measures, and to the Nebraska bill as unworthy the | country. (Applause. ) No body of men, North or South, had asked for the méasure. He wished to know whether the North was not satisfied. The Missouri Cope meg bey saved a great body of the finest land in the country from the footeteps of slavery—they were content, and the South was content, so far as he knew. No voicefrom the South, no Voice from the North was heard, and he had yet to learn why it was that that bill had beoome, so faras the Senate could make it, » part of the fon of the country. He knew and respected man; bP see Mabe I oa ce at ‘ys ‘4 the integrity of their gen- ffhncats, for ‘he 13 puted te but it timents, for he imputed no fo any man; but his comprel how thie ‘men could have risen in their places and defended that bill and voted for it. But they still had one effort to make. It was the appeal which they were to make there that night—it was the protest which they were about to enter against it. He hoped and believed that the expression of opinion from such men as he saw around him there that night, deliberate, calm, yet firm, would have an effect to arrest its . Who were'they that were there opposing that mighty wrong? Were they not a portion of this great State—were they not the inhabitants of this noble city—were they not the representatives of its worth, its intelligence, its charities, its noblest enterprise? Were they nobody, in the estimation of the people at Washing- ton—did they not contribute to the support of this gov- ernment—were they not worth being heard, and if heard, to be obeyed upon a question which involved the liberty and freedom of mighty tracts of land in the central rtions of this country? It might perhaps be thought at Washington ‘that the agitation would die away soon, and that they would forget it, imm as they were in business, in those mighty operations which New York was engaged. in; but it would prove a mistake. They were part and Percelof this State, and this Btate in all ite relations was e themselves; it was full of enterprise, full of resour- ces, full of intelligence. They were not to be led blindly by any man—they knew their power and resources, and they knew what was due to themselves. Their legisla- | tors, must, then heed what they: said, if, as he (the speaker) knew they would, they spoke temperately. These were the doctrines which he would inculcate. Here in this year of 1854, a Senator from Ilinois had in- troduced a bill which did not at first abrogate the Mis- souri Compromise, but which finally concluded by de- claring that by a portion of the coorpconine act of 1850, which left New Mexico and Utan to decide the matter of slavery or not, as they thought At, that Territory bein, free, decided ‘that this solemn,’ ancient compact o} thirty years standing, entered into under great difficul- ties, sliould be abrogated and made inoperative. That compact stood upon public faith, and public faith rested uiyon the obligation of every government to, preserve its intogrity. The Nebraska bill was a breach of solemn faith and ancient contract; it was closing that Territory | against the footsteps of freedom. Every man should be allowed to plant himself upon free soil on entering those possessions. In conclusion, the speaker called upon them not to stay their hands, but raise their voices, steadily and firmly, as citizens of auch a great city should do, and | ask their due. They owed this to themselves, and to the world. They were a mark to the world in the Western hemisphero, as men of business and intellect. They ehould rise up in all their power and sj with all that power to the people at Washington. He had entered his solemn protest against the great Wrong which was ought to be perpetrated by this bill, and his hope and aith were that enough of men wore stili left who thought freedom worth preserving, and who yet thought that that beautiful land, full of streams and prairies, should = ae & F very. ‘ne 6 all partion north of Mason and Dick, | a are wilting thereby ropeia Pjotestation white t the meas SSaaveen so otareey vextitery nev Tr ine ab no OT rence aN That the atiompt to bring the constitution to aid | the onttage is hollow and hypocritical or porfectly puerile. ‘that is ffom acting upon the | at least be rescued from that which was proposed by the | subjeot, a8 ongross. ng Upon N° | introduction of that bill.
