that may possibly cccur under impending cir
eumstances will be an act Of folly disgraceful,
in the highest degree, to those who are in |
trusted by the people Of this country with the
duty Of voting the means to enable the Execu-
tive branch of the Government to carry out
their plans for the defence of American CON-
meree The Senate having promptly passed
the six steamer bill, the country will az xiously
sean the action of tn. House for the next three
or four weeks to ascertain who may throw en-
barrassments in the way of the consummation
Of this measure of 80 very pressing State ne
cessity.
The Abolition War.-Hourly we find the
Nebraska bill gaining strength among the
members of the House of Representatives.
Ihis Is, in great part. owing to the eagerness of
the Abolitionist and those who for years past
have always been their consistent allies, to
assume the leadership and management in the
muss The public sentiment which comes
booming hitler by order of the Giddngs and
Chase council of State, is already clearly
ascertained b be the merest possibly Adolf
ton thunder, the same parties who Numbered
against Texas, against the fugitive slave law,
&c, &c, being also the manufacturers of that
which we now hear, and their resolves being
almost word for word identical with those
which such folks, and such folks only, have
| been passing ever since they commenced pass
| ing them against the Missouri compromise in
1870. The best joke of the season is written
! down in Washington to be the effort essayed
to create the Impression that the shouts of
fana,icism with which Theodore Parker. the
Boston inideI preacher, was greeted in the
New York Tabernacle on the night of the
21st, and the cotemporaneous shouts of deri-
sion, uttered by the b'hoys who attended for
the fun of the thing, is the sentiment of New
York city and the great North upon the Ne
braska question, Such men as this crazy Mr.
Parker have lived in every age and cline
They answer the excellent purpose in this
| country of escape valves for the greatness
envy, malice, and jealousy of very large
class of over bilious folks, They are, in fact
the mouth pieces of all that tribe.
