1he New York Herald gives very fair
representation Of the ridiculously vascillat-
ing course pursued by the Administration
in relation the Nebraska bill. The Herald
says:
When first introduced It is well known
that its shape was harmless. and that the
principle now in issue was left to the Su-
preme Court TO decide The first motion
to repeal the Compromise Of 1870, as un-
constitutional and inconsistent with the prin-
ciple Of the Legislation Of 1850. came from
Mr.. Dixon, Of Kentucky, and it was at once
assailed by the Administration organ as a
species Of treason scarcely less heinouS than
Abolitionism. Just at this time the Free
soil antecedents Of Mr.. Pierce began to he
developed; and the reasons Of his peculiar
fay0rs TO John Van Buren's friends to be
printed abroad. The South, scarcely know
ing what to believe among the conflicting
statements, and at heart suspicious of the sin
cerity of the Cabinet resolved TO clear away
its doubts by introducing amendments en-
bodying the repeal Of the Missouri Compro-
mise. The Administration organ again
shifted its ground. and with versatility
which astonished the world. formally declar-
ed the repeal Of the Compromise to be a
test Of sound Democracy. As the New
Hampshire election approached, however,
its courage began to fag and changing its
course again. il declared that support Of the
Nebraska bill was not test question of De-
mocracy. and allowed people to think as
they pleased. Staggered BY the blow dealt
them in New Hampshire. the Administra-
ton, as soon as the election returns we're
received. once more directed their organ to
wheel about. and to pronounce the bill a
thorough test Of Democracy.
