The political gamblers at Washington reported
to be growing desperate in their determinations,
they already are In their fortunes Ii has been several
times said of late that the Senates Nebraska bill is
abandoned by it, authors. and we learn tina. new BILL
Invested of the features ncOrporatednto the odby
the amendments of Badger and Clayton, is to be intro
duced to-day in the House and an attempt made to
rush it through without debate under the application
of the previous question. This attempt will be worthy
of the authors of the Nebraska inquity Tha. meas
ure was conceived in spirit of apostacy to freedom
and all ts vast relations in the future of this continent
and it will be urged to the end in spirit Of pratic
resistance to the indignant reprosches and condemna
ton of the virtue and intelligence of the age. We
therefore prepared to any course of proceeding
adopted by the authors and abettors of the infamy
which shall promise success, no matter what its
character.
Were the originators Of this scheme in any degree
disposed to coDsul the public judgment on its merits,
did they entertain decent respect for popular
opinion they would at least forbear any unusual
courses in pressing it to vote, if they did not allow
it to fall quietly into merited oblivion. But no con-
sderatons except those of partisan and grossly selfish
character weigh with them They have attempted
gross Outrage upon public faith bold assault upon
the interests of freedom and, notwithstanding the OBJ
oquy it has brought upon their heads, they believe
their partisan and personal interests will DO better
subseryed by rushing reckessly forward in defiance
of popular sentiment, than by obeying its plain die
tates Like all reckless adventurers, whether upon
the field of politics or elsewhere, they act upon the
scandalous maxim that lie we'll stuck to is better
/ than the truth waverng
The question of the repeal of the Missouri Compro.
mise has been distinctly presented to the public and
brought home to the consideration Of all classes aud of
almost every man in the community. And so far as
has been possible judgment has been pronounced
That judgment is of unanimous aud unequiSocal
condemnation The proposition has been received
with an outburst Of public indignation and reproba
ton such as has never before been visit I'd upon any
projected measure The voice of the North especially
has everywhere gone forth in unbroken tone OF op
position and depunciation. The scheme has been re-
ected with scarcely dissenting voice throughout the
free States. And We believe that if an unbiased
poll could be taken upon the question even in the
slave States that it would result in unmstakable
rebuke to the renegade authors of this infsmy.
Under these circumstances il is useless TO address
argument appeal to the supporters of the Nebraska
outrage They are beyond the reach of either. They
and cruelty the democratic sentiment. They the
real tyrants of time, aud ready and eager to
tramPe not only upon the rights OF the North but upon
the of man The projected to resuscitae
the Nebraska bill then be met but in way aud
that is in spirit Of determined resistance. We have
the faith to believe that after what has passed in the
discussions of this measure. and in the popular eec-
tors Of the North this movement will be aoortive.
We have right to anticipate that the new bill sill be
sent to the tomb which holds the remains of the
old But ii this reasonable expectation shall fail we
still rely upon the Northern minority of the House u
do their whole duty and defeat by their indomtable
opposition every attempt to consummste this gigantic
and shameless plot OF political gamblers aud spostates
The countr, is ready to sustain thai minority in any
which may be necessary to avert the success Of
soncomparabe outrage as the repeal of the Missouri
Compromise Ii the events Of the last three month;
have not taught this lesson they have taught nothing
