81 think have seen enough TO be certain
that the Nebraska bill, as reported by Mr..
Douglas, will pass, and think can forcsce
the consequences. That they will be any
thing but agreeable seems too clear TO admit
of doubt. A iloodgatc will be opened, and
atorrent turned loose upon the country which
will sweep away in its devastating course ev-
cry vcstigc of the compromise of 1850.
do not speak Of its immediate effects look
beyond. For the present it may be looked
upon at the South as boon and by por-
ton Of the North as triumph over fanati-
csm. The word peace will be upon the lips
of its advocates everywhere. Like the An
gel of the Lord who stood among the myr-
tie trees and said, ave have passed to and
fro through the earth, and behold all the earth
stitch still and is ut rcst"-cven SO we shall
have it proclaimed that the country is at rest,
that all is pcace-but greatly fear that
they will soon find they have raised a spirit
which will wing its way through storm and
tempest to the funeral pyre of the republic.
