The Nebraska IMfamy.
The Congressional propagandists Of
Slavery yesterday justified the menace
they have Tor lew days past held sus-
pended over the country. By majority
of some twenty votes The uouse OF Rep
resentatives sci aside its regular order oi
business, postponed seventeen bills, many
OF them Of the most urgent character.
ard took up for immediate debate and
action in Committee the Nebraska Kan
saS bill as it passed the Senate. Having
accomplished this much amid great ex
cit, ment, and in spite OF considerable re
sistance from those opposed to this fraud
ulent, revolutionary. and utterly graluI'-
Gus measure. the supporters OF the bill
made no further effort to hurry il forward
but after listening to one brief speech in
favor Of the biII and one against it ad
lournef Tor the day The bill thus la,
the precedence whenever the House goe
into Committee, and will beyond doubt
be the sole subject Of discussion there
until it is finally disposed OF, by he most
rapid means It's advocates and agents
can employ.
The vote bv which this course Of action
was determined upon is given in our re
port oil the proce edings, and though the
ajority in favor Of the bill, is not all
absolute IN jority OF the whole House. bul
