WASHINGTON, Thursday, March 9, 1854
Something 10 yet wanting 20 awaken Congress. IL
may seem strange but il lie nevertheless true that The
demonstrations in the North upon Eebraska have thus
far failed 70 arouse in that body any ust sense OF the
depth and universally OF the feeling that exists IN the
public mind sganst the repeal Of the Missouri Con-
promise The meetings which have been held are SET
down 90 ordinary Abolition gatherings, the speeches
which have been made Abolition speeches the reso
buttons Of the State Legislatures akin TO the ola STORY
against the annexation of Texas aad in favor ofthe WI
mot Proyso southern man recently Observed; lhis
popular demonstration in the North has Do weight
The same thing has been seen often before and
- has ALWAYS resulted in general backing down that
i IL makes ne impression upon the country aud espe
.cisIly none upon the South" Why" be Continued,
half the meetings and half the excitement hs1 been
manifested in the South Congress aud the country
would quake with apprehension. No measure could
pass Congress in the face OF anything Ike the oppo
ston in the South that ia manifested in the North to
1.-THE Nebraska bin.
The commept il significant Congress aud the South
do NOT et understand the force and extent Of northern
exposition to this measure and the consequences to
result from IT, They sleep 10 the midst Of cOnfagra
ton. TIE proposition, therefore for grand Northern
Convention OF Congress to be held at Abauy, is well
timed and if properly carried out, cannot fa 70 exer
cife sastary influence upon the fate OF the measure
before Congress Let it be held Aod lei the glowing
macs prefgure The fires that burn in the northern
heart which are destined 10 consume every recreant
ron who shall be found athless in the coming hour of
trial
Yet when all shall be done it must not be forgotten
that the great fact remains, that the only certain
method Of arresDg the cOnsummaton OF tue great IN
iouiy s in the determined resistance of the northern
minority of the House And when that colossal Con
eress of The northern sbs assemble let 1t oe
among the fret of lie acts as il will be among the most
imperative OF its duties to call upon that northern
minority to stand firm in the breach Let il proclaim
that though that minority may be the foron hope at
Washington it is vet but the advance guard of the
great army Of freedom in the North ready and pow
erul for it's rescue whenever the necessity for support
tbsll arise
The Influence brought TO bear upon the hestant and
opposing members of Congress is immense. No lover
was ever so devoted to a coy mistress s Douglas TO
the members OF the HOuse. And more INSCRIPTIONS
politician doesn't live The President il equally solicit
GUS and urgent and if he sticks at thing necessary
to carry his point it will be the first time The Offices
created by the bill itself OF themselves form an engine
Of great power in dragging it through Observe that
there are two Governors half dozen Judges, two
Attorney Generals two Secretaries aud two Aarshas
all with handsome salaries established by the bill
Then there are subordinate stations TO be filed all
over the Territory comprising the entire patronage OF
two incipient States, for friends and underlings
What an opening is here disclosed for decayed men,
ters Of Congress from the old States whose career is
run at home to start virgin fields, with pres
ent support and looming prospects in the future OF
State honors of diplomatic and other national appoint
ments and of seats not only in the House bat in the
Senate at Washington. In addition to these remOter
temptations the Chilian mission and the valuable con-
suAtes at London and Havana now vacant aud un-
dertood 70 be left open to tempt the refractory aud to
encourage the mid Besides there is every to
believe that half the foreign embassies will be made to
charge hands within the next eighteen months if it be
necessary to consummate the job. II were in any
doubt before as 10 the determination of the AdGnisra
ton to bring the whole force of the public patronage
to accomplish the fell purpose of the Nebraska scheme 1t
is dssipated by editorial article of Tae Union of
Tuesday last in which il is all but plumpy asserted
that the Administration lie prepared to buy the bill
through the House The intention is not openly stated,
but the inference from what is said irresistible that
such is its wellcOnsidered design if the
net be aoated through in the ordinary way. In add
ton to ALL the fact stands prominently everywhere,
and 10 everywhere admitted that if the bill fails
Douglas goes down, the President goes down. the Adj
minstratiCn goes down, and all connected with ii go
down together Let it not not be supposed then for
al instant that the bill will fail in the House except
under such outside pressure, and such inside in
nexibility az are seldom shown bus 10 revolutionary
times. The spirit Of rebellion must show itself or the
bill will ultimately 60 through.
We have no idea however, that any disposition OF
the bill which be made, whether il be its pas
cage or rejection, save its authors In any event
they are doomed. II is likely TO make President,
but by no means not Of the or either of the men
whose fortunes il was intended 10 advance. The out
ragged North will demand candidate VINO can be
trusted. So much il needs no ghost to fOretel
