WASHINGTON, Monday, March l3, 1884.
have the following from the White House:
The President expresses the utmost confidence in
tie result of the New Hampshire caryass and does not
admit the possibility of any other result than the
triumphant election of the Governor AID decisive
Democratic majority in both branches Of the Legsls
ture.
The President asserts that the Nebraska bill is not
a practical question as regards the extension Of
Slavery because it cannot flourish in northern lat

of Virginia
Tie President declares that the excitement in the
North is evaneFcent and will be disspated by the first
public question Of interest that arises which questions
aIe constantly recurring, and which at the present
crisis in the worlds affairs more rife than ever.
The President considers that the authorities of Cuba
have committed a very inexcusabe act in their pro-
ceedings against the Black Warrior and that the Gu
ban question nay suddenly Importance that
will cast Nebraska into the shade And we lyr that
the efforts of the Administration will not be wanting
to elevate into prominence for this y"ry purpose
Tie President is receiving cartoads OF letters from
tie North protesting against the Nebraska fraud which
make him nervous aud keep him thin.
Do you observe the exhibitions of nsolence toward
the North in the Richmond papers Northern men in
Congress are termed herd Of potrOons, who can be

Tie programme of the Nebraska conspirators is to
pass their BILL and then if the North don't acquesce
or undertakes to run Free candidate Tor the

to be ordered to the West India seas 1t is confidently
predicted that this will be the case at any rate the mo-

affairs.

Tie opponents OF Nebraska feeling pretty cOnt

the result Douglas is making personal appeals TO

1Lere is good deal Of cheating going in the

BY sbrewd judges that douglas and the President are
getting cheated rather the worst Political ax-grlnd-
inc is great trade. The representative system IS
great and glorious one we are bound to believe. But
It would be improved if the People had populaf veto
On tie acts Of the Representative. We go for an
smeLjment Of tie Constitution which sha give it 70

confede!ates whenever they can be reached.
Douglas is most afectiOnate man. He has the

was great genius at congressional caressng and the
