THE NEBRASKA SBINDLE.

From Our Owu Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Thursday, Feb. Q, 1851.
Outside influence Of the Capitol and the White
House public opinion here in Washington, ia mani
fesy posed to the passage Of the Kansas and Ne
braska bil Tie glarng absurdtes, inconsistencies.
decepions and perdios OF tie authors OF the BILL and
of the BIZ itself have been truthiuly and eloquently
exposed 10 public view that the bill, although an Adj
ninistra,ion MEASURE is nowhere mentioned without
the significant word infamous" being applied 10 1t,
and in tie Capitol and in the Cabnett there are Omnous
Indications Of mutiny and distrust.
This bill as first introduced, WIS decaratOry ex-
tension of tie fnaty measures Of 1850, the Ne
braska Territory and this ambiguous language was
officially explained in the Administration organ. TO
mean, determined hostility to repeal OF the Slave
Prehibitory section of the Compromise of $50.
Another BILL N substitution of the first one was next
introduced whereby the said SayoProhibtng section
of tie Missouri Compact expressly declared TO be
supercedod and rendered imperative by the principles
Of the legislation of o5O; and lastly and iuay, we
have all appropriations stricken from the BILL so that
II nay be forced through the House without being re-
ferred 10 the Committee of the Whole. We have also
tie words superseded by" expunged, and the words
inconsistent with inserted still retaining the dec
loration that the Slave Restricting act Of 1920 is in
ope1ati,e with the words and void added thereto
And lest somebody should be stupid to misappre
bend the bill as thus amended, q cOdcil, by way Of
interpretations is sUper-addej stating that il is not in
tended BY the bill 10 gsate Sarery into or ont Of any
terTifory! but simply TO make proclamation OF Con-
cssoua non-interyention aud to reassert mans right
to sclf-gove rnmenti
Now the vescillations, cyrations deceptions, shall
low preences and contemplate pettiiogglngs have ere
50. o., %
tecnnirg to exclam, "We can't stand H." They say
TO introduce a bill expressly advocating and declaring
roperatiye and void a solemn compact which forever
prohibited slavery from entering the Nebraska Terrific
w. and then 10 call il simply n0nlnterentOn, and
neither leaislatng human bondage into out of said
Territory is not the justification of robbery but
robbery and perfdy under false DISCUSSES OF friend
ship ii the discussion should be prOtracted the rey-
val in the House will become general that the spOs
Of Office and other plumber will have no more control
ling influence than the ordinary temptations Of the
devil upon the conduct of the truly converted.
And although il is Ostensbly true, az " Extra Billy
said that the President and his Cabinet unit upon
this Nebraska BILL it is nevertheless positively certain
that Mr. Secretary MARCY loathes the bill and the do
pos and savings of its authors and that his private and
secret influence j. against il; that Mr. Attorney
General CUSHING who is the chap behind the throne,
bcoer than the throne itself is making all sorts of co.
6tions and combinations so that whatever may turn
M be NAV hold winning hand; and that the Pres-
dent himself has become frightened that Indications
of The return Of " fainting fits" are aarmingy aP-
Mir EVERETT made a speech-a great speech-yes-
