.as bin to the Committee Of the Whole in the
House of Representatives They consider
this disposition Of 1t equivalent to deieat
of the bill for the present session The New
York Express declares that the bill has been
| buried alive, that the Committee OF the
Whole ist the great Maeistrcom OF the House
| Of Representatives, which swallows up every
thing debateable or doubtful and from which
| very few things again emerge. The Express
adds. that such reference is considered in
Congress a test vote, offered as test and
made a test, and though some six or eight
/ members brought up "to face the music.
might vote for the bill directly, who have
now voted otherwise indirectly, yet the Ed
press thinks it very certain by their votes
now, they do not want to vote for it and if
| they have to vote for it, they vote under
eompulsion.
1t is possible though we would hope not,
that the Express may be correct in this an
ticipation. But the troubled waters will not
be made smooth by the defeat of that bill.
The South recollects the threats of ven
geance, and of dissolution of the Union.
with which the North menaced her in case of
| the passage of the bill. She remembers that
these threats did not come alone from besot-
ted crowds of crazy fanatics, but from min
listers OF the Gospel, and from professors of
| colleges, even such men as Silliman and Tay-
Tor of Yale, proposing to shoulder their mus
kets and aid in chastising the South for the
| high treason of demanding equal rights in
the Union. The South viii not soon forget
the general outburst of wrath which the Ne
braska bill aroused, and execrations from men
| who pretend to be conservative and patri.
otto. Henceforth, she viii at all events have
| the advantage of knowing the real state of
| public sentiment at the North, and of being
able to distinguish her friends from her enc
mics. The Northern men who have boldly
stood by her in Congress and in the Northern
press, have secured her eternal admiration
and gratitude. The Northern men who have
| opposed her just claims she win kaow here
| after, as the false and hollow hearted enemies
of the Constitution and of the rights of the
States. To tyranny and injustice she may be
forced to submit; she may be compelled to
remain vassal and a slave in that which
was once a Union of equals and of sove-
reigns but the tyranny which she suffers
will at least be open and undisguised. She
will know whom to love and whom to hate
and to strike at, when the hour of retribution
comes as come it will.
THE NAVAL POWER OF RUSSIA.
The last advices do not throw much light
on the progress of events in the East Much
CURIOSITY is felt to learn whether the Car
will risk naval action with the British
squadron, the most formidable in every re-
spect which has ever foated upon the waters.
There are three Russian divisions of nine
| men of war each in the Baltic, but there are
| few steam vessels among them, and they are
inferior in every respect to the English YES
sells. 1t is generally conceded that the b est
| disposition which the Gear can make of his
| fleets is to keep them within his strong naval
ports, leaving his enemy to fight with the
dangerous winds and waves of the tempes-
tuous Baltic. Some of these naval ports,
such as Cronstadt, Revol, &C., are said to be
almost impregnable.
| Eg# An analysis of the vote in the House
of Representatives on the reference of the
| Nebraska bill to the Committee of the
Whole, shows 1O2 votes from free States for

hossuTH-itis stated that Kossuth has written an |
address to the German population of the u States |
onthe subject of the rejection of George Saunders
by the United States Senate as American Consul to
London. Kossuth regards the rejection of Mr. |
Saunders as indicating the intention of our gov
eminent to take the back track in foreign policy
and as an abandonment of the position assumed in
the Rosetta affair The addresses win shortly ap-
pear, both 10 German and English print.
