We shall also attempt brief analysis Of the
votes on the passage Of the bill. 1t has been

some inaccuracies. If so, it will afford us
pleasure to correct them, for nothing is further
from our purpose or wish than to do injustice

Washington sentinel., 1854-05-24


DG5- Now that the Nebraska Kansas bill
has passed the House of Representatives, it is
to be expected that the important measures of
public policy which were deferred until it could
be decided, will be promptly taken up, con-
sidered, and disposed Of. Should there be any
complaint on account of the time consumed in
the discussion of the bill first referred to, it
cannot reasonably and justly be made Against
the friends and advocates of that bill. They
| have been willing, for some time past, to waive
mary manner. But when this disposition was
manifested, the cry was instantly raised, that
they we're afraid Of debate, that they wished
to sti1e it, and that they were unwilling to ex-
pose the bill to the influence of popular demon.
strations. Conscious Of being right, and de-
string to avoid even the appearance of evil, the
friends of the bill permitted its opponents to
have their way. They allowed to all who de-
sired to discuss it the opportunity Of doing SO.
They also gave them time to confer with their
constituents on the subject. The opportuni-
ties thus generously allowed, we're not only
used but abused Tumult, camor, and de-
nunciation were heard throughout the length
and breadth of the land. Whilst the friends of
the measure, in and out of Congress, were quiet
and peaceful, whilst they made no effort to
get up popular demonstrations, or produce
popular excitement, its enemies made sys.
tematic and concerted efforts all over the coun-
try to produce disturbance, commotion, agita.
ton, and sectional strife. They endeavored to
oyerawe Congress by fulminations from the
pulpit by denunciations from the press, and by
frantic howls from gatherings of the people.
The purest and ablest patriots of the country
were stgmatized as traitors, and the measure
for which they labored, as wise as it was just,
was denounced as q measure of infamy and
fraud.
The friends of the Nebraska bill cannot be
charged with, and held responsible for, the de-
lay attending its passage. If too much time
has been devoted to it, if other important
measures have been neglected on account Of
it, the blame and the responsibility must be
assumed by its enemies, and by them alone.
Every man at all acquainted with popular
excitements, will own that the worst side of
every question always has the most noisy, tur-
bulent and clamorous advocates. Conscious
of weakness, they endeavor to keep up their
spirits by loud clamor.
The Nebraska bill now goes back to the Sem
ate, and as it is the Senate bill with the omission
only of the Clayton amendment, it is 10 be
hoped that it will pass that body in the form
in which it passed the House Of Representa-
lives. We do not entertain doubt that such
will be the result.
