WegiVs place to the following extract frotz
letter 10 the Louisville Courier from It's
Washington correspondent, which would in
d;cate that Mr.. Sumner has proven himself

/ To-day, Senator TooMBs Of Georgia, made
a rrotracted speech ia favor ut the Nebras-
ka bill. His speech may be favurabiy az.
preciated IN print, but the tone aud manner
OF delivery were exceedingly disiyreeaole
and Oifer sve. His voice was pitched upon
key high ami loud on the start, that very
soon putaIng was heard but continuous
d-c"rdant yel-he he.t he air with nces-
cant 'pump-hsndIe" motions of his arms
smote the desks "round about" with his
clenched fists, AMI the administrations and
twlstihcations OF his manly torn were pain
vi to behold. The public opinion in and out
of the Srna Chmaber Is, that his speech
is wors than a iailure-an egotistical blum
Ger.
The President has intima'pd within the
last two days, that opposition to this Nrbras-
Ia bill will hot be regarded "a treason To the
sdminis'raii n; and DOUGLAS, when advised
of it said: IL anticipated that he would FAINT,
and secured his official signature, adopting II
as an administration measure He may now
b TX out and b. damned
Nebraska, Kansas, Congressional non.in-
iervention, and mans right To self.govern-
ment. are the only p rasrs heard in official
circles, but the House DON'T yet indicate ,
disposition to adopt them.
