lave never doubted thlt the Brigadier warmly
In favor Of the Nebraska bill. Indeed, with the
structon he puts upon it. it would be impossible in
view Of his wel>known ''oathing" of slavery and
the Fugitive Slave Law, for him to oppose it. Con-
sidering il essentially proposition in favor Of free
dom" and believing that although should acquire
the whole Of Mexico, yet if the bill passes not ano
thcr slave State would be added to the Union,
Mr. Pierce displays his consistency in thus NANTES
ing his hostility to slavery by supporting measure
which, in his Judgment, is destined to accomplish its
overthrow. That he has enlisted in behalf Of the Ne
braska bull from other or higher Considerations, ii
would be utterly preposterous 10 suppose, when W,
look at his antecedents, and recoect with what
sidcrac affection he has showcrcd the public patron
age upon his Free.Soil allies
Even at the present moment VIC are favored with
significant limitations from Democratic quarter,
that the weight and ind lence of the inins.ration
despite its wish to the Nebraska bill successful
still on the side OF the infamous Fce>So and Adolf
ton alliance. The traitors and incendisrcs Of tie
North, We are crediby informed, are yet basking in
the smiles of Mr.. Pierce and nsolently exulting
the fact in the faces of Southern The regular
Administration prints" we also told, have no
word Of rebuke for the factious, revolutionary and
dsorganzing tribe Of fanatics who are now making
the welkin ring with their mad d, nunciatons of slave
Rand the Union. Why is this, if the Admnistrati,n
is honestly disposed to stand by the guarantees of Il
Constitution, and look with equal and impartial
eye upon all portions Of the country! Why these
confidential organs Of the Executive reluctant to
offend the common enemies OF the Union and tie
S,uths How is it, asks the Washington Sentinel an
able Democratic ournal-how is it that the ASKING

and ask does not this significant fact brand W,

Presidents aunky, his supple and obrdent tool, Iea
dy to serve him, with the miserable humility oi
slave, in any capacity he may require Is rcason-
able to suppose, therefore, that it would sudi,usly
fill to denounce Abolition ncendiares If 1t, cour.e
were not dictated by the President and not strictly
accordant with his wishes and his policy? Would 1t
80 consistently and zeaously perSeyere in its Efforts
to conciliae these unprincpled factioniss If he did
not toiH that it should be done! No one who knows
aay thing of the corrupt pliancy and slavish devo-
ton of the Washington Union can believe for n mo-
men that it does or omts to do, any thing not
toned by the expressed or clearly implied wishes Of
tid orgarr admitted to a knowledge of his secret
thoughts and purposes, understand g h aims and
his policy, and implicitly obeying all his orders and
intimations in the management of its coumps Mr.
Pierce, therefore, must either dsavow it, or b. held
re ponsible for its course.
