FOREIGN IMMIGRATION.

While it is not improbable that one effect Of
tho war in Europe Will be- tho decrease Of i'm
migration to this country from Germany, and
Great Britain and Ireland, there are reasons to
believe that emigration from Northern Europe
will be greatly quickened. The New York
Evening Post publishes an extract from a let
tor, witten by an American gentleman now in
Stockholm, in which he says that, during his
travels in Sweden, he has been astonished at
the panic Of the public mind.
IL has been calculated, by ono well &C.

the beginning Of March, fourteen thousand per-

HE NEBRASKA bILL.--Ihe Louisville Jour-
mad says:
"There are now few members Of the House,
even among the servilc echoes Of the Presi-
dents caprice, who have the capacity or the
inclination 80 swallow the measure whole. Ii
is by no means clear that the Senate bill could
now repass the Senate itself; for, to the orig-
nal enormity Of repeal having been plainly SUI
peradded the Republication Of its only pretext,
that opposition which the thunders Of principle
could not awaken begins at length to murmur
at the breath Of interest The bill--through
tentative process as disgracefnl as it is novel in
the annals Of legislation--has been successfully
adjusted to all shades Of public opinion, until,
at last upon rejecting the hue OF every faction,
it is VIGOROUSLY destitute of consistency and
principle AS it stands, it is stupendous and
elaborate cheat, deliberately framed upon the
principle Of those changeablc signs that display
the name OF Smith or Jones or Brown, accord
ing to the angle occupied by tho observer. The
shameful ambiguity Of the thing, to use tho
mildest expression, is too patent to admit Of Sc
rious denial. The mass Of prudent Southern
people, who have been inadvertently betrayed
into approval Of the bill, will as matter Of
pride and good taste, hereafter suffer their ap-
plause to sleep, with its subject, in the tomb
Of the Capnlets.'"
