FATE OF THE BILL IN THE HOUSE.

The the Nebraska bill in tho Senate, affords no
certain indication Of s srsne n the House. More subser
Went 10 tho passions Of the mob and sss capable OF phi.
iosophic and independent view of public alirs the North
ern members Of House exhibited the
and craftsmanship which have occasion admire 10 the
Senate Essentially of feeb'e intellect and inferior nature
they rarely display any higher conception of duty than is
involved In serve alteration Of the will of their eonstu.
sncy Among multitude OF Deans and Campbela, we
may search In vain for one Douglass.
Opposition TO the Nebraska bill is tho passion Of the popu
lar mind OF the Morrill, and we may therefore expect OF s
representatives Herce resistance the Never
rheess believe the bill will pass. The influence Of the
Administration deach votes enough from the Northern
opposition TO carry through the but should this
fall we must prepare for defent With every Wing
journal 10 the North 10 opposition The measure only
hope 10 In the integrity of the Democratic party and the
power Of The Administration.
II seems however, that should msjoty OF the Repre-
sentatves be In favor Of the BILL lite h all

feat of the measure by violence

ing programme This will DO with effort 10 lay it
the table, If that be carried, 1t into the
Committee Of the Whole which the ccur! of chancery

This Ia very valiant talk but we have no apprehension OF
