TONE OF THE EXPECTED MESSAGE, ETC.
WASHINGTON, May Q, 1854
Mr. Richardson's notice this morning. Of his intention
of moving early next week to take up the Nebra
bill and press 1t to vote, should call every absent
member here by Monday and all absentees after that
day must be set down dodgers Mr.. Richardson,
understand intends to present the bill precisely it
passed the Senate with the exception of the Clayton
amendment, which is to be omitted.
We do not believe the bill in this shape pass; but
the professions of gentlemen be relied upon there
would be no difficulty in passing the bill first introduced to
the Senate Judge Douglas which does not abrogate the
Missouri compromise in many words but refers all dis
puted points the Supreme Court This Judge Douglas
friends assert contains all the principles of the amend
ed BILL whilst it omits tho language to which so muca
objection is made The only difficulty in the way is that
the persons vino profess to be in favor of the ona bill
may not be sincere and may desire 1t only to
eectually kill the whole II, however, they
are sincere there why the original bill max
ing mention of the compromise Of 1920, should not
pass.
The Presidents veto of the Insane bill viii positively
be sent to the Senate tomorrow. 1t is understood the
President has called upon each of his Secretaries for their
opinion in writing The message WILL it is generally be-
lieved, be an able document discussing the whole sub
jcct of the public lands, and not shrkng any respon
sibility.
Mr. Hughes speech last week against the Nebraska bill
is regarded as one of the best made on that side.
