States incuuing the reproach and pity of their best

endeavored to avoid the recognition OF those democratic
rerds when they met in society and went home 70 carry
the Nebraska bill Just when the Eastern Question was
ripeniDg to war. Of that bill the constituents OF the
no passed it have said that was driven throagh
| the two Houses by disastrous power wh'h the
people had 10 time 10 restrain; It was passed, not
! only without the national concurrence, but absolutely
against the national will If so, IL may be said they
must undo the mischief and repeal the law. Tue: and
this what they probably will do; but the process Will
precious time and wholly absorb the national Gu
ergy during crisis of the European struggle The Ne
brufka bill and the Fugitive Slave Law botn most
dangerous the long continuance OF the Union and they
will therefore disappear as the Missouri Compromise mas
disappeared before them IL cannot be that such scenes
as those at Boston the delivering up OF Burns, aud
throughout Massachusetts, the Fourth of July can DO
repeated without impering the Unon and the repeal of
the obnoxious laws must therefore be looked for with hope
by every friend of the liberties OF mankind But to effect
that repeal there must be elections conflicts OF par
tie long debates many ycissitudes, and slow calming
down Of the swell after the before the sympathy OF
the American people be fairly embarked IN any Euro
pesn cauee. This is precisely whN su5 The Jar lie ~
beieve have wrought for this end and he has OBJ

The great question is-how DO the Americans like all
this bow does it appear to them when their own case
set fully before them They have had some prepare
ton in the discovery that the newspapers in the slave
States were publishing Russian accounts OF the progress
Of the war TbeI truest aud hesrest friends now
tell them more. Ii they do not like their position as an
implement for royal sport in the hands OF the most mon
strous despot in the world they know how to shake off his
abominable clutch They must release themselves as
nation whatever individual States may choose to dol from
the one despotc institution which places them at the plea
sure yrans they must wrench out and cast away the
keen wedge which the Russian maet occasionally greets
and when they have closed up that ssure and made their
grand political fabric all sound and smooth, so that 40 ely
hand can drbble in powder and set the match they need
fear DO explosion 1t is not the Abolonsts, nor any
power the side Of human freedom that will blow up the
Union it il the mighty and boasful STAKEHOLDER of the
North of Europe with his pro-slsyery agents always
working with the Republic who will destroy it, if be
| indeed under doom of destruction.
But such an issue incredible and almost nconcevab
The min and heart that created the Republic must live
o. through successive generations to preserve IT, and II
was only the fathers Of the Republic but its sons woo
are pledged before heaven ard earth preserve with
their llyes their fortunes, and their sacred honor
