WHAT MAY BE Expected.

Not among the least ranking OF the lmbttered and
resentfu feelings which swelling the public heart
of the North at this moment those growing out of
the tannts ofhe South that the are cow
ards and poltroons. Al through the late contest the
want of spirit and courage TO resist the aggressions OF
Slavery has been assumed and taken for granted by
the southern contryers and supporters Of the Ne
brfka bascness and of their serve northern conede-
rates This has been the basis of the whole Nebraska
movement and of the conduct OF all the northern trait
ors from Pierce and Douglas down to the lowest tier
of oficc-mongerng patriots who have embarked with
them in their crusade upon freedom and the North
The North will submit the North will yield, thc
North will acauiesce the North will descend to the
lowest level of craven humiliation. If they had
not believed this doctrine they would not have dared
TO commit the crime they have committed. 1t is bad
enough to be- injured but TO be nsulted into the bar
gain ia irving to the patience. The mos; ansPr-
tied wretch in the North (and God knows there are
enough of them as the record of the House aud SEN
ate vote in another column shows hates TO be twited
of poltrconery, and the man who is not conscious OF
sefdegradation, feels reused TO resent such an mpu-
taton Thousands and tens of thousands are now
stung to the quick by it, sDd the fruits OF the insulting
reproaoh will be very clearly manestat no remote day
We are not sure that of them are not now bud
ding in Massachusetts. The northern people are not
duelling or a bowe-knfe people, and are slow to
move to earnest strife. But when they are reused
thew are yery apt 10 make their resistance tell. And
that they can be- is not to be- doubted but by shallow
rated fools But il is quite evident that this is les
son that the northern dcughlaces in Congress who
have bartered away freedoms vast possessions in the
Northwest well as the present generation OF
slavedriyers have yet 10 be taught We entertain
pretty strong well growing conviction that they
will be fully instructed this sub ect within the next
year or two. We discern some signs OF the times thar
evidently point to this result The friends of Nebraska
are very rampant and very jubilant about this time,
carving their Fugitive Slave Law at the cannons
mouth and with their hundred discharges Of cannon
ON Capitol HILL and their similar demonstration in
the Park and elsewhere. But neither these nor the
predictions of the Slavery organs, North and South,
Growing fainter however about this time that all
is TO be quiet submission in the free States to what
has been done and is to be done by the existing traitor
Congress shakes cur faith in the future. We already
feel the ground swell beneath feet, and we see the
distant clouds gathering in the sky which betoken the
storm which is to wreck these fond expectations and
,y,rwhem those IA thless who have betrayed the
North. in wild and stormy of political connection
Ofthe whole crew whOhaye embarked on this Nebraska
voyage in Congress we DO not believe in ten will
ever come safe TO land. They will all find their final
resting place beneath broad of gnominy. Others
may indorse The slanderous impuaton of the slave
drivers and doughlaces that the North is without
spirit and without manhood; we do not. Others may
join the shout of contempuous triumph in view of the
late victory over freedom in Congress; we do not
oil arIo If the in
brance, we yndcate the people of the free States from
the apersion Of AFFECT pusillanimty involved in the
assertion that the North will submit to surrender Kan
sas and Nebraska to Slavery, ndorse the conduct
of the traitors who have betrayed liberty. We dare
deny the allegation, and earlessy appeal to the future
for our Justification We dare predict that in the
coming contest the domination OF the shareholders
will be Indignantly spurned, and the doughaces be
driven out Of the posts they have dshonored and dis
eraced. As to the tbres. already put forth by the
feeble stpendary OF the Adminlstraton-1h Has,ng-
ton Jnionand the organs Of Slavery elsewhere that
the slave States will not tolerate northern opposition
to their schemes, and will secede if the North does
not submit this time hitherto, shall condescend
to make reply. If the slave States propose to go
out of the JBion for this reason, advise them to
make ready Ii they propose to secede in the event
Of the Norths demanding and obtaining the exclusion
OF slavery from Kansas and Nebraska they had better
lose 10 time in preparing to %. If these be good
for their exodus they shall not stay for the
want of them. And if they are not they shall have
better ones We tell the southern invaders that they
have gone one step too far this time. As for their
northern allies, whether in high station in low,
they shall fall and be crushed beneath their
lead of guilt, without the satisfaction of seeing
their perfdy successful The people they have out
ragged and betrayed sill bring them the bar they
shall swing high the gallows of offended justice, the
conspicuous objects Of universal and execratiOn
