Nebraska BIn-starvlng II out.

Nebraska BIn-starvIng 1t out.
There seems 10 be disposition in Congress to
bring the Nebraska bill to an unusual parliamentary
test-that of starvation. We are not disposed to
question its propriety To starve bill through Con-
gress out OF il, is certainly proper to sarve
jury into verdict in court OF justice. 1t is a
matter of curiosity, however, to ascertain what are
the chances of this celebrated bill, under the new
rues On this interesting subject the Baltimore Pa
trot has the following
1t will be seen that The question whether the friends
or opponents of Nebraska can do with less food,
sleep or liquor, is still in doubt Mr. Richardson was
found perhaps 10 have had greater physical aptitude
for contest of that description than Mr. Greedy an
ticipated. lie announces the capitulation of the
starvatoniss under terms which had not transpred.
AS matter of scientific investigation regret that
this peculiar remedy has failed so prematurely We
should have liked the Smithsonian Swans to have in
vestigated the relation between physical endurance
and opinions illustrated by the votes of Congress
We therefore very sorry that the sarvaionists
in the language of the racers broke up" before
this contest could be decided Col. Richardson has
destroyed the theory of minority veto Col. Rich
ardson is large man with Il strong voice, uncommon
hardness of head sOundness of sense and drectness
of purpose. He has, we believe, fought and starved
through the Mexican He carries chew of
tobacco large as walnut in his neither Jaw. which
supports him until a whole platoon of weak chested
Zeaots, with worsted comforters, must give in from
physical exhaustion. This "setting upn is fun for
Col Richardson. He requires nothing except a mil
itary shakedown. An armful of straw swg from
ticker, prepare him for any extremity. 1t is the
watchGre over which he has laughed at the enemies
of his country many night, and he has no doubt
smiled at the weak device Of its enemies in the pre-.
sent instance. Mr. Greedy evidently made no allow.
ance in the recommendation of his theory for the
physical capacity OF Col. Richardson. His theory
has in consequence failed.
/ Although are gratifed that this insane idea Of
enforcing the rights of the minority by moving the
restaurants into the lobby, and putting trundle beds
into the halls Of Congress, has been shown up in all
its dty, we almost regret its premature failure
Ii promised to render ayable peculiar character o.
talent which has not heretofore been appreciated.
We know several members who have rendered nc
perceptibIe equivalent for their perdiem, but who
when questions shall be decided by comparative
capacity Ia eat drink and sleep for the good of thu
public, will rise into immediate Immortality Wher
The relays of seepers shall be organized and the mi
nority shall secure it's rights by starving the ma lori
ty, and keeping them awake until they shall aban
don their nefarious purposes, grateful constituency
will acknowledge the value of good appetite and
placid conscience. And when orators sap the price
of liberty is &C eternal vigilance = imagine the,
never sat up all night and listened TO dull speeches
Or contemplated the probability of having tt
do during long session OF Congress- In the NEAR
time will this Comp Omlse be kept or will the minor
ty refresh themselves with meat and sleep, fill hei
canteens and march against the indomtabe Rich
aIdson again.
