Daily national era. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1854, 1854-03-18

The Richmond Wing and the Richmond
Eraminer are both ont against the patronage
Of Northern Colleges by Southern students, and
all because Northern professors will not like
Northern shopkeepcrs and Northern dema-
gogues give their sanction to any God forbidden
popularity in Southern institutions The just
intelligent and patriotic people Of the South,
will never approve Of such prescription; but
if they should, who would be the greater
losers the cheap and efficient colleges Of the
North, or the boys Of the South?
Ion, the Washington correspondent Of the
Baltimore Sun, says that the Southern oppo-
sition to the Nebraska bill 10 increasing land
expresses some apprehension that it may be
defeated Who are these Southern members
Of Congress that are giving way upon this
question? What influences have been brought
TO bear upon them, to work 30 strange change
Of front! Let us have the names OF Theses
gentlemen; and, above all, let US know the,
cause Of their crawfishing Rich Wing.
"Ion" has been fnessing somewhat on this
subject. There are facts for him to 90 upon,
and he wishes to draw them out. But mark
the domineering spirit Of the Whigl Will
Southern chivalry crouch before it? II neither
1Ionn nor the Whig knows any Southern
members who are "giving way" zoe do, and
we mistake the metal Of which they are made
if any of them shall be found to waver in their
purpose. But why does not the Whig make
terrible example Of Senator Houston The
annihilation Of this noble spirited old man
would strike terror to the souls Of thousands
Choose a shining mark, gentlemen, and open
all your Batteries upon him.
FLATTERING Tho desire to explain away
or apologize for the defeat Of the Administra-
ton is comically manifested in some instances.
"Ion is clear that
aWhen the INebraskal bin, in oil its phases,
shall be considered, it will be considered as a
great boon to the South, and tho Southern Dem
ocratic members will require that the friend
ship of the Administration for the bill shall
be again proved, by the re-0ssertion that they
consider 1t The test Of Democratic orthodoxy"
And X" is informed that
The news brought by gentleman from
New Hampshire, now in the city, and in high
position, is that there must have been some
mistake IN The election He reports that the
impression at the polls was, that the President
was against the Nebraska bill, and that he
would veto it if it were to pass. MISLEADING
the ISSUE tho Democratic voters voted the Free
Soil ticket believing it to be that OF the Ad-
ministration. A member from New Hampshire
is under the impression that in this manner
the Democrats elected to the Legislature are
oil Anti Nebraska men."
What wonderful series of mistakes! It is
true that a very great mistake has been made.
Whether by the People, or by the President
and his satellites, q brief time will determine.
1lonD and "Xn are both more than suspect
ed of speaking by tho card and when they
disagree it may be safely presumed that Dem
ocratic leaders in this city, high in position"
disagree also About the assumed servility Of
the Democracy Of New Hampshire, We have
nothing to say We leave that to be settled
by themselves, and those who charge it upon
them.

adelphia Daily Register says:
Ooe Of the beauties Of our institutions il,
that they never oblige man 10 be consistent,
and allow one to turn political somersets aud

plcases. Mr.. Bronson seems TO have availed
himself OF this privilege in its most enlarged
sense"
