Ever since the passage of the Nebraska
bill, all earnest opposers of the encroachmcn''
Of the South have been seeking for some prac-
ticable way to make their influence felt in
the councils of the nation. They see plainly
enough tho thing to be done, and are conf
dent of strength to do it, if it can be rendered
available by union. But the friends of free
dom have been so many times BETRAYED that
they have lost confidence in the good inten-
tons of those with whom it is indispensable
they should act. They need more faith in the
honesty of their nei.hbors They should be
willing to believe, on good evidence, that
other people feel Just as strongly as them
selves, and not assume to be the on;v genuine
opponents Of northern opinion. There are a
great many people who are willing enough to
talk. They are always ready to haul the
South over the hottest possible Goals They
dcnouncc southern statesmen with hearty
good will, and scold northern douchfaces
with prodsious energy. But there all scrsi-
bic opposition is at an end. These men will
agree to nothing which a sane man can pro-
pose. Every thing must be done in Me;,
way, at their time. and by those who wear
Mei uniform. They act strangely like the
quaker who could not swim. when he stood
! looking helplcssIy at his drowning child
wrinsing his hands and crying for help. 81

And SO these protested friends of liberty turn
