The Nebraska Bill in the House.

The correspondent of the New York Trl-
unc writes that the leading Tcnnc>secWhigs,
Hunt of Louisiana, and Col! Benton, arc pre-
Jared 70 make terrible onslaught on the
measure. These men, he writes, excite the
hi.hcs: admiration for their tearessncss and
independence. Ncrvcd alone bv convictions
OF duty and sentiments of honor, they proud
ly d"ty the corruptions and the dcbuachcrv
Of the hour. John Bell, Cullom, and Ethc-
ridge, are among the nobIest specimen of a
genuine manhood. They can never be for
gotten. Hunt of Louisiana, is in no respect
behind them. Their course is giving them a
distinction worth more than a thousand titles
OF nobility. Their indignant denominations
and their lofty bearing would, if ANYTHING
could, shame every northern doughtacc out
of Washington. Gov Jones will stand almost
alone in Tennessee
The Express has the following

up every thing dcbatablc or doubtful, and
from which very, very few things again e.

whatever violates or tends to violate them
whether this. be Involuntary Personal Scrvi
tudo Civil Despotism, Spiritual Absolutism,
Class Legislation, tho SeI6shness Of Capital
the Tyranny of Combination, the Oppression Of
O Majority or the Exactions Of Party.
II win hold no fellowship with the Wing
and Democratic organizations, believing that
the main issues on which they have been ar
rayed against each other arc obsolete or settled,
and that they are now chiefly used by the Scc-
tional Interest Of Slavery, 10 impair the love Of
Liberty natural 10 the American mind, and TO
subiugatc the American People TO its rule. Dis
claiming all connection with thcm, IL will yet
sympathixc with those Of their adherents who
are honestly seeking through them to advance
the substantial interests Of the country, although
il must believe that they have not chosen the
better way
II will be a supporter Of the Independent
Democracc, which holds that tho Truths OF the
Declaration OF Independence are practical that
in their light the Constitution of tho United
States is TO be interpreted; that to them the
laws and institutions and usages Of the country
shonld be conformcd---a Party, whose motto
