In another paragraph, Mr. Straub admits that Whist

thinks be is right lie is likely to be wrong. In
this be reminds US OF the who said he did not
raise as much crop as be expected, and ne never
though; he should. Yet he Observes

and one of the simplest and plaines kind which to my
mind was ever introduced into Legislative body les
e. plain the al MONDAY, To use homey express
sion Just plain to the mind asto the nose on man

At one stage of his remarks Straub launches ont
after the following manner We judge that he must
some day have made abolition speech and that
this is an extract from it,

STATE or secticn or one reOpel Did not the

Yet this flourish is incorporated into speech which
has for its osensble object the extension OF system
that utterly denies to the poor man anything but help
less and degrading submission his arstocratc and
tyraunca brother, and which holds him in chains and
letters forever. o, Mr. straub, Mr.. Straub do you
no, sec how great you make yourself BY such
talk as this when you the next hour vote to riye the
irons of human bondage
With two or three further brief quotations, by way
Of showing the gushing character OF Mr. StrsGb's
rhetoric, we must dismiss him. We never heard OF
lin before and expect to hear of him again.
Speaking of the mpossibility OF saying anything new
on the subject, Straub thus delivers himself:
As well might you expect to press oil ont Of stone
with your hand remove the Rocky Mountains from their
base with vour finger qucnch the fires Of volcano with
drou of alter or bail the dry with spoon, as to
shes any rev light by further discussion.
But if straubs arguments ale not original his rhet'
oric certainly is Listen again to similar flight
Sir YOU might a. well expect cannon bail from
rose bud or ;huud0bo from the rainbow of Heaven "a
Nat the ID oe Of the States and Territories will not
t1oir own Irerogative to govern themselves.
One mere splurge in this line, and Mr.. Straub may
retire. Speaking ot some Impossible iusiol the Ho'
member says:
This to my mind Is the best proof ever saw that the
lion and the lamb were created TO be Onis oil
feather"
Remember that these extracts are made from no
rabcd report but from speech sent to us under the
members own frank and We think our readers may
Judge pretty well what sort of timber the Adminlstra
ton have had furnished to their hand ou' of which to
construct their Nebraska majority. The following
extract from Tie Union, shows how the tools in this
iniqu;ty are rendered ridiculous by absurd
and ludcIous commentator:
The Waslin.,ton correspondent Of Thc PoVsrJc Pa
Pr and Uao1r0t speaks follows OF the late power
n speech OF Cob Straub in OF the Nebraska bill:
In bis cction must speak OF The eloquent ana pow
er.u slecch Of Col Christian NJ Straub, your dllnlies
and re la representatives the Nebraska Kansas Dill

not 10 touch minor details, but launched forth Mt once
OH TIT great merits OF the question. lie dealt se1ge-am
m,r blow the caques OF the opposition, aud we have
heard hat az least y0tCs were changed by this eloquent
and powerful vindcatcn of the leading measure OF the
Administrator.
There after that we do not think any man i'll Con
gees need despair of getting the cheap pay Of smooth
words from Tie Union for any dirty work be may do
If Siraub's constituents swallow his speech, we do
not believe they take down the commentator we
quote without choking.
