are told that IL was first published in 7hs Free

no such event ever occurred in former yearp, in

PATE OF The BILL IN TIKI HOUSE.

The vote on the Nebraska bill in the Senate
affords no certain indication of its strength IN
the House. More subservient TO the passions
Of the mob, and less capable Of philosophic
and independent view Of public affairs, the
Northern members Of the House have never
exhibited the courage and statesmanship which
we have occasion to admire in the Senate.
Essentially Of feebler intellect and inferior ma
ture, they rarely display any higher conception
Of duty than 10 involved in u servile alteration
Of the will Of their constituency. Among Q
multitude of Deans and Campbells, we may
search in vain for one Douglas.
Opposition to the Nebraska bill is the passion
Of the popular mind Of the North, and we may
therefore expect Of its Representatives fierce
resistance to the measure. Nevertheless, we
believe the bill will pass. The influence Of the
Administration may detach votes enough from
the Northern opposition to carry through the
measure; but should this resource fail, we
must prepare for defeat With every Whig
journal in the North in opposition to the meas

Democratic party and the power Of the Ad-
ministration. Richmond (Va.) Whig.
