PROSPECTS OF THE nEpEALERs.

The repealers are so blinded by their pas.
sions that they have not yet discovered what is
manifest 10 everybody else-ihat their agitation
will all prove barren and unproductiye. The De.
troit Free Press thus exposes the folly Of their
course awe have heretofore stated that the
prospects Of securing a repeal Of the Nebraska
bill and Fugitive slave law are decidedly slim :
but as the friends Of the repeal Of those mea.
sures may doubt our assertions we give the
views in this respect Of Hon. John Wentworth
otherwise called Long John, an aRti-Nebras
ka member Of Congress from Illinois In a
letter to his paper--the Chicago Democrat
Mr.. Wentworth makes a calculation that
should ore,y free State elect United States
senator hereafter TO oppose the Nebraska bill,
it would take just flee years to bring the friends
Of the repeal into majority in the Senate
II is just so with the Fugitive slave law Now
we would ask, are the advocates Of repeal SO
simple as to anticipate that eye,y free State
during the next fire years, will elect United
States senators friendly to the abrogation o
the Nebraska and Fugitive slave law enact
ments? II they are, all we have to say is, tina
they are even greater idiots than we have here
toiore considered them 10 be; and Heaver
knows, they are foolish enough now, in all con
science
