CONGRESS-. January 30th.-SESAIE.-Mr Dou,
glass called up his Nebraska bill. lie commenced
by explaining that two objects had becn sought by
the Committee, in preparing the Nebraska piii
lst As to the Indians to protect their rights; ana
ID, As to Slavery, it was the object and desire ol
the Committee to be equally explicit; that they had
akcn the principles Of the Compromise Acts ci looO
as their guide, and had made each and every pro-
vision Of this bill accord with those principles
leaving to the people of the territories the privileges
Of governing themselves free Of oil control, except
by the Constitution Of the United States and limited
and restricted upon no particular subject by thelr
position North or South of any arbitrary gcogroph-
icol line. The Committee considered that the Mis-
souri, Compromise he'd been superseded by the
| Compromise Ct 1850.
! lie alluded to the address published by the SEN
ators from Ohio and Massachusetts 10 the people,
charging this bill with want Of faith in the solemn
compact and charging him personally with concert
| ing an atrocous plot and applying to him an cpl
thc which could not be used in intercourse between
gentlemen. lie charged that this address had been
put forth, claiming to have been signed by major
lty Of the Ohio delegation, in order to influence the
Legislature Of that State, before which resolutions
were pending on the subject. The address had not
all these signatures, and he believed the statement
that it had ever been signed was wiliul false
hood.
Mr. Chase rose to make an explanation,
! Mr.. Douglass refused to yield the floor, saying
that gentleman who had SO violated every rule ol
propiicty and fairness was not entitled TO any con-
sidera,iCn at his hands, Mr.. Douglass thon pro-
ceeded at great length to argue in favor of the bill
ANcr Mr.. Douglass had concluded, Mr.. Chase
took the floor and eloquontly repelled the charges
made against him. b. the Senator from Illinois Of
having arraigned HIM by the address. lie could
assure the Senator that in writing the address the
Senator had never for one moment occupied his
mind tho Senator was alluded TO in postscript
but only as author Of the bill. Tie Senator exag-
lgcrGted his own importance, and had considered
himself the whole Committee. lie took upon him
self all that was said Of the measure lie knew
the gigantic stature Of the Senator's importance
le knew the immense power aud influence the SEN
Gor excr;ed over the country he knew the Senator
was surrounded here by large and powerful party,
and he know the disadvantages under which he
lalOred in q controversy provoked by the Senator
he knew tie odds against him he and the Senator
from Massachusetts, stood alone I; ;hey were buttw

TO point TO any single instance where he or the Sem
a1r from Massachusetts had ever swerved on one
side or the other in voting upon any measure to
promote the interest OF the country he asked the
Senator to point to any instance where his vote had
been influenced for or against measure because q
Northern or a Southern State was 20 be benefited
by it. All that they had done was to condemn the
nationality Of Slavery this was their position, firm
and unaltcrablc, and ON it they were in minority
in the Senate. lIc now, here in the Senate and be-
fore the country, re-airmcd and rc-asscrted every
word contained in that address, denying that 1t had
any imputation upon the motives or called in ques
ton the course Of any individual. Having thu;
briefly explained the grounGlcssness Of the charge
1made against him by the Senator, he would defer
until tomorrow his arguments ON the merits Of tho
. bill.
Mr.. Wado.said he had read the document and
approved oft and ii 1t had been presented to him
he would have signed it.
Mr. Sumner denounced tho bill, and the evident
effort which had been made to hurry it through
Congress before the people should have time to ez
press their opinion upon il.
