HEADING THE SLAVE BREEDEKs-An Emigration
Convention was to have met in Worcester, Mass,
on the Sd inst. Its call proposes to take such ac-
ton as will lead to the speedy establishment in tho
territories of Kansas and Nebraska, Of colonies Of
free and freedom loving farmers, mechanics, labor
ers and others, that the future destiny of those
extensive domains, may be placed in the keeping
of men who know how to appreciate the blessings
of liberty, and are determned to multiply and sx-
tend them"

ENCOURAGED.

Horace Greeley thinks the Nebraska Bill is done
for in the House of Representatives. lie says:
1--WE are not constitutional.y sanguine, and have
been taught by stern experience that event doeE
not always actually occur because, to human ap-
prchension, it should yet we can no longer re-'
press our joyful, confident hope that the Nebraska
lniquity is doomed 1t may founder and struggle,
in dying way, for some weeks yet, ere it shall be
kicked out Of the House but it cannot pass, If
there be any trust in the signs Of the times. That
some bill for the organization Of the Territories
may pass at this Session, is very probable and not
to be regretted; but the bill which passed the
Senate by such an overwhelming majority certain
y cannot pass-nether this Session ever after.
And we now believe it most improbable that any
bill repudating the Missouri Restriction can bo
forced through the present House. How much
better chance it will have thereafter, the reader
can judge for himself"
1t may be that the measure is defeated for tho
present. We are willing to hope so. 1t will be .
humiliation to the southern plotters they have not
of late experienced If it does fail it will be only
because the people have been aroused and spoken
out so emphatically against it. that the fears Of
the doughfaces from rctribution of the North,
preponderate over their hopes from the South
There must bc no cessaton-no relaxation Of agi-
tation. Tho slave holders will relax no whit
Their vigilance will be increased, and they will
if possible seize some favorable opportunity to pass
the bill.
If it shall be that they fail in this at this time,
will it not inspire the North with some sense Of
the propriety of aggressive action, Our enemy 10
not merely to be resisted lie is to be conquered.
The Missouri and all other compromises ought to
be repudiated far as they give support and
sanction to slavery. II the South fails to repeal
them for the sake Of injustice, the North should
do it for the sake of freedom and justice.
