PASSAGE OF THE NEBRASKA BILL BY THE HOUSE
OF REPRESENTATIVES.

OF REPRESENTATIVES.
most protracted and exciting struggle was last night
IL O'clock brought triumphant close by the passage
of the bill organizing the Territories of Nebraska and
Kansas in the House of Representatives by of l3
We hail this result with sincere pleasure and
graduate the country upon the removal from the halls Of
Congress for all time come Of those embarrassing and
irritating controversies which have grown out of the agi-
tation of the slave question
The abolition demagogues by the emphatic action of the
majority of the peoples representatives have been de-
prved Of the preext for excitement against the South
and after few paroxysms Of denunciaton and flsehood
they will find themselves utterly incapable of mischief
the crazy fanatics who preach in the streets OF the north
cities and against the imaginary evils which they
believe they have been commissioned correct Hence
forward the people of the Territories viii manage their
affairs in tneir way according TO the spirit
the federal constitution In few months those who
have been deceived by the cutlery against the Nebraska and
Kansas bill win he surprised and mortified how
they have been misled and thus another evidence will
be added to the number that have repeatedly
the folly and the fasehood of the anslavery crusade
Strange that the machpatons and designs of the maig-
and phrenzed leaders Of the crusade should the
time be constantly proved to be fruitful of bad
suits alone and yet that American citizens viii be ad-
monshed agns, posng confidence in those whose sue
cess however impossible and remote conemplaes nothing
less than the overthrow Of free Institutions Let MS
hope that the last lesson full of instruction sgni
cancc win be without its good effects upon the public
mind in time to
This proud occasion has been rendered sgnay Crafty
ing by the department of the friends Of the bill from the
beginning Of the contest the face Of the disorganzing
persisted in down the suspicious final vote Patiently
and almost unmurmurngly they submitted series Of
unprecedented attempts defeat the asccraned win Of the
najoritX-leavng record Of which the majority may
well feel proud and from which the fctious leaders Of
the minority viii never be able to recover in the os-
tmaon Of the people The victory would have been de-
prycd Of half It's value had the majority been capable
Of those high examples Of sefdenia and forbsarance
which showed their high sense of the Justice Of their cause
and their mistaken faith in the intelligent judgment Of
their constituents and the country.
The bill! passed the House Is the same that previously
passed the Senate with the exception Of the Clayton amend
ment preventing unnatualizcd citizens from enjoying the
right TO in the Territorieshat amendment having
been stricken in accordance with the example furnished
in the bin erecting the Territories Of Washington tab aud
New Mexico The speedy passage of the bin in the Senate

tcipatod.
