twelve month after the Inauguration. Let the
South be sacriAced-let Douglas be cut adrift,
let Oass 90 10 the dogs, let the Nebraska bill be
sunk in the Dismal Swamp-say the Cabinet,
rather than we should lose New Hampshire.
Ana between treachery to the South and treach-
cry to the New Hampshire free sellers, be it
remembered that {" bird in the hand is worth
two in the bush" And so the Cabinet organ
sings the song of democratic harmony to the
music of the Evening Post and the Albany 1T
las. Every abolitionist, therefore, as well as
every free soiler who votes the democratic
ticket, is "good enough Morgan till after the
election"
We are, however, admonished that this new
wire of the Cabinet organ is intended for the
benefit of the administration in the South. 1t
may be that this Nebraska bill will hang fire in
the House till after the New Hampshire cleo
ton In this exigency, should the election be a
decided administration triumph, it is suggested
to us that it will be used to bolster up the bill
in the House; that the result of the struggle is
to be construed as an expression of the
people of New Hampshire in favor Of the
bill, and may be conclusive in getting
it through. There is no doubt, at all
events, that democratic defeat in New Hamp-
shire would be regarded in the House as a vote
Of the people against the Nebraska bill; and it
is not impossible that, after gaining victory
from q general amnesty to the free sellers,
they, if expedient, may be formally kicked out
of the party, to conciliate the South again.
They will have been used, and they may be
thrown away.
But we adhere to the theory tAat in this am
nesty to the free sellers, the administration is
returning to first principles-that the object is
to hetray the South, and to leave Cass and
strains the Concord Patriot sings to sweeten
the dose to the old free soil associates of the
President in New Hampshire Sage the Patriot,
speaking of a good free soil Democrat
He that the Nebraska question: before the
Senate is suppsted about equally and opposed about
what shape the bill finally and he knows that
he has the unquestioned right to think he peases
about this question: without rebuke from this
quarter that This will not be permitted to
divide the members Of the democratic party, any
than the question Of granting leo Of land actual
settlers.
What distressing and dirty bit of special
spleading for free soil votes is this But we
rather suspect it is dished by the votes of the
two democratic New Hampshire Senators for
the Nebraska bill. The New Hampshire voters
may think as they please, SO they only vote the
administration ticket. So thought Messrs. Viii
liams and Norris in voting for Nebraska. What
a pleasant compliment is paid to them after
having thus voted, in the suggestion of the
Cabinet organ that they might have voted ac-
oording to their own convictions without being
turned out Of the party! Why this information
was not given to them before, we leave to be
answered between the South and New Hamp-
shire.
In summing up the issues of this new am
nesty to the free sellers on She Nebraska bill,
one of two things is certain 1t is either an act
of treachery to the free sellers OF to the South.
One party or the other must be betrayed, and
both may he in the end. If the Nebraska bill is
brought TO vote before the New Hampshire
elccUUn vr A. 1tsa., tl-~ r.-,nblllIir, "a
creased that il may be swamped; if the vote
is delayed beyond that election, the result Of the
election will enable the administration to take
either side of the question, as the election may
90. Pass the bill before the election, and the
administration may be blown up in New Hamp-
shire. Delay it till after the election, and the
result may be different. We should not be sur
prised were the bill held back, nor at all aston
ished, provided the election is anti-administra
tion,) if then the House were to kill Nebraska
by authority.
In the meantime, between supporting Ne
braska, cottoning to the South, and Juggling
with free sellers, the prospect enlarges Of
swapping the Senate bill, and leaving Doug
las and Cass up to their armpits in the quag-
mire. There is open treachery in this free soil
amnesty. Let us see how it will work in New
Hampshire, and how it will work in the House.
