The ouestio. is, he said, whether the good faith
and honor e.rthe nation shall be maintained, or
whether sdey shall be trampled on. He was not
oppos-l 10 organizing territorial governments for
the,e territories, bnt was against the bill In lis
present shape. His objection related almost ex-
clusivey 10 the clause proposing 10 repeal the
Missouri compromise; conceving that this would
plunge the country into another slavery agitation
He commended the Missouri act Of 1920 is not in
consistent with the compromise OF 1850.
Mr.. FLAGLER remarked that the voice of his
Immediate constituents came 10 him In tones deep
and unbroken, like the cataract on their borders,
earnestly demonstrating and protesting against
the repeal of the Missouri compromise, and en-
joining upon him the exercise of all the means in
his power 10 oppose the proposed act of legisla-
ton. He was happy to say his own views and
feelings We're in perfect accordance with those of
his constituents.
He stated at length his reasons for opposing the
BILL
Mr.. GIDDINGS hailed the discussion OF this
important question with interest and Joy. To
those who introduced il he rendered his humble
and hearty thanks. They had done more to agi-
tate the question of humanity in one week than
he had during twenty years. He rejoced that the
people Of The country have been aroused. In re-
ply to the gentleman from Florida Mr.. MAXWELL
he said the scenes recently exhibited here were
Mighty moral and sublime, more so than were ever
before exhibited in this hall The despotic ma
jorty attempted 10 force and gag the minority
who rather than submit, stad here thirty-sx hours
without repose, 10 maintain their right; and they
did maintain them, too, presenting spectacle
which should command the admiration Of the
world
However, some of the minority voted TO sus.
pend The rules 10 admit resolution TO terminate
| debate, thus giving the tyrannical majority the
| power 10 put the rope around their necks and gag
| them. Had these few stood firm and maintained
their position. to-day the House would be discus.
sing the Pacific railroad bill, and the Nebraska
question would have been thrown over until the
next session of Congress. Give him a man OF in
dependence, Shareholder if you please. Mex,
in the scale of moral degradation is a doughface
and the lowest is the man who undertakes 10 carry
water on both shoulders
He condemned the institution of slavery, and
warned northern men of the consequences and
| responsibility of voting for the Nebraska bill.
MIR. WRIGHT, of Mississippi, said il was not
expected that any member holdidg seat on this
| floor from the State of Mississippi would ever SC
far forget himself as TO reply TO the gentleman
| from Ohio.
Mr.. GIDDINGS 1t is the best argument you
ever made or ever will make MIL
| Mr.. READY obtained the floor when, on mo-
| lion, the Committee rose,

in the hen chick, the head is the first part that

entirely thrown off. The appearance of the

ing. What is to be the future fish is mere

and large eyes. Along the belly Of the fish,
the gills downwards, is suspended bag of q

size of the fish. This bag contains the heart,

NEBRASKA AND KANSAS BILL.

The House resolved itself into Committee oil
the Whole on the state of the Union, Mr.. OLDs in
the chair, and resumed the consideration Of the
bill to establish territorial governments for Ne
braska and Kansas.
Mr.. MAXWELL, who was entitled to the floor,
rose for the purpose of addressing the committee,
but he yielded 10
Mr.. HUNT, who said / wish 10 correct stat
ment, by remarking publicly that the report in the
Globe in respect TO what occurred yesterday is iln-
true, as far as my knowledge goes, and as far as
have been informed by my friends ; and that the
statements which / have read in the other papers
are substantially true.
Mr.. CRAIGE If the alluson Of the gentleman
from Louisiana is 10 anything said here, have
to say my remarks are substantially reported in

Cries of J" Order Y g order ~
Mr.. HAVEN said that Mr.. Cook, having been
suddenly called away, had left with him some re-
marks which he desired should be published bv
permission ofthe House.
Mr.: WALSH. BY all means. ! hope oil the
friends OF the gentleman will follow his example.
Laughter
Mr.. MAXWELL resumed the floor !; and AFTER
ISiSii'hS W tue scenes recently enacted IN the
House, said he would leave Il 10 the country to
determine whether or not The movements Of the
minority were factious. He trusted that hereaf
ter, as heretofore, their efforts to distract legsla.
tion and to mislead the people would prove abor.
tive.
The bill now under consideration seeks 10 de-
clare the Missouri restriction imperative and void.
The proposition is simple one. II contains no
starting or extravagant features; il does not aim
70 interfere with any mans rights or privileges
y imposes no limitation on the liberty of any hu-
man being. The only object is TO wipe from the
statute-book law which is unequal in its effects,
denying TO the people Of one section of the coun.
try privileges which are accorded 10 the other.
ne Territories he contended, are the property OF
all, and no power is given 10 Congress TO thwart
the patriotic purposes Of our fathers.
He assumed the charge that to declare the Mis-
sour restriction imperative and void would he
violation OF good faith. He apprehended none Of
the dangers which others feared from The passage
OF this bill. Where the right is, public conviction
will ultimately settle
Mr.. NAVAL said that this question had been
sprung on the country suddenly therefore, il was
no wonder that II bad taken the American people
by surprise, and appalled, the sensibilities or the
human heart. The compromise Of 1S50is far more
objectionable 10 his constituency and the people OF
the north than the compromise Of 1890 is to

weir-A',o"n iapie OF Asop. They seem deter
mined to initiate the frozen serpent, and sting
the breast that warmed them. But,perhaps,w VIC
are speaking too fast. 1t may be that the
farmer knew or ought to have known the vene-
nous qualities of the reptile he let loose In
that event, it is not difficult to trace the steps
of men in authority.
We have been maligned and abused by the
low servants of the administration. We have
been maligned and abused by the miserable
corps of confidential confreres Of the admins
tration. We have been slandered and traduced
by their officers, and slandered and traduced
by all their adjuncts; SO that our moderation
is the moderation which we feel from the inspi-
ration Of honest purpose. From the beginning
the threat has been sent abroad that the Senti-
net would be annihilated. We can tell our
kind friends, who wish to destroy US, that they
may urge their uttermost and we will not be
hurt The Sentinel has no fear Of humiliation
at the hands Of bad dramatists, no matter how
glorious they may feel nor at the hands Of
bad lawyers, no matter how ignorant or how
supple they may be.
But to return to our sheep. 1t seems to US,
unsophisticated as we are, that the regular adj
ministration prints, like the Washington Union
and the Boston Post, make no mention Of the
Infamous and revolutionary proceedings in
which the New York soft-shells have been en-
gagged Why is this ? How does it happen in
the ordinary course Of events? Is it because
the organ does not wish to drive any one of
from the support of the Nebraska bill? Sure
ly not How is it, then, that the Washington
Union still hugs the abolitionists and freesol-
ers to its bosom? Does not the mere fact
brand upon its forehead damning scar?
In Congress and out of Congress the whole
tribe of Van Buren, freesoiers, with their. soft
shell attachment, are factious, revolutionary,
and disorganizing. The yeas and nays in
the House of Representatives and the wicked
movements out of Congress prove it. Yet the
administration, although it has acquiesced in
| the Nebraska bill, continues to lavish its pat
ronage on the enemies Of that bill. The adj
ministration pleads that neither Mr.. Cochrane
nor Mr.. Fowler, nor any Of its multitudinous
| freesoil and softshell appointees have taken
an active part in anti Nebraska meetings, and
that punishment cannot therefore reach them
rightfully. But if these named men have ap-
parently kept quiet, they have not been ac-
tually quiet; for their servants and understrap-
pers have been busy, and mischievously, labor
ing in season and out Of season to defeatthe Ne
braska bill. Yet General Pierce has not turned
his face away from the factionists. They still
glory in his intimacy, and boast of his conf
dence. If their Wanting be true, then, in
deed, has dark day fallen on us. But we for
bear to say more.
