and broken up, what may we expect the retri-
button of this still greater political tr'nsgres-
sion to be
Still more strongly will the public disappro-
baton and disappointed be expressed, 1t the
people shall see, as they probably will, that the
admission of slavery into Nebraska is the pre-
pAration for yet other measures having in view
the ACKNOWLEDGMENT Of the slave power-the
wrestling of Cuba from Spain to make several
additional slave States the creation of yet
other slave States, in territory acquired from
Mexico, and the renewal Of the African slave
trade. These things are contemplated the
Southern journals already speak of them as
fanxliarly ave aippantly as they do of an ordi-
nary appropriation bill, and who shall say they
arc not already at our doorl When we think
of how improbable it seemed at first, that the
Nebraska fraud would become law-when we
reflect what pledges have been broken, what ex-
pectations have been disappointed, and how the
public opinion of the free States has been AOuted
in the vote procured for it-what measure is
there, Of the same nature, too foul or too au-
dacious to be expected from the present Con-
gress, now in the midst of its first session!
The National Era makes the following sug-
gestion to the members of Congress in an arti-
Gle written in immediate expectation of the
passing of the Nebraska bill
" Let the Nebraska bill pass, and let members
opposed to it pursue the policy adopted under a
similar provocaton in 1850, and we should APP
prehend similar results. Will they, in such an
event, pursue such policyl Do they Intend
to become quietists! Will they prove by the
promptness and tameness of their acquiescence
that after all, their resistance to the neflrious
measure was but half sincerel Suppose, on
the contrary, the eighty members from the free
states, democratic, wing, independent democrat
ic, opponents of the bill, overpowered by tho
alliance of slavery with exclusive patronage
and northern servility, should unite in an adj
dress to the people OF the United States, show
ing the bill in its true colors, exposing its real
nature and Interior purposes, laying bare the
extraordinary and corrupt means resortcd tc
secure its passage, fastening responsibility upor
the prominent actors, and calling upon the
people to disregard absolute issues, old preju.
diccs, mere party names, and rally as one mar
for the ro-estalishment Of liberty and over
throw Of the slave power-what would b. the
effect Agitation, instead of subsldmg, would
increase northern sentiment, instead OF being
prepared for acquescence in the rest OF the serie.
Of aggressive measures projected by Shareholders
would be aroused and organized to resistance
at the ballot-box would the faithful men who
have battled for the rights of the free tate
hear the voice, Well done, good and faithful
servants, while rotibutiyc vengeance would fall
upon the heads Of the men VINO have betrayed
them"
And in conclusion of this series of out Spoken
articles of the Wing, Democratic and Fret
Democratic presses, we append tine following
just and sensible remarks from the Burlington
Free Press, which, for courtesy, talent and tact
.we regard MS scarcely second to no Wing Jour
nal in New England. ED OF FREEMAN.
THE TRUE REMEDY.
Though the Nebraska bill yet needs the ap
proyal OF tho Senate and the Presidents sigma
turc, we may be srre of its not wanting thos,
additions to make it II law. We consider it ont
already. The Colntry now has Il long road tt

quences involved in that act, and may us wei

ncy Noise and h,.rry will not help but hinder
i'll the work.
Step by step the unjust prepondence of thu
Slave States in the Government of the Unior
has gone on increasing from tho outset. Ar
advantage was granted to them in the Consti
tuition itself, By giving them Representative
power for their slaves, the long end OF the Level
was put into their hands That advantage they

curse has been that there have been found al
