The antNebraska papers careful TO state that two
out Of the FIVE candidates for reelection TO Congress in
Pennsy who voted for the Nebraska bill defeated
but forget ad that three of the candidates
who voted against the bin likewise defeated not 10
mention fourth in the person of Mr. Chandler of Phla-
depha who having been superseded by the nominating
convention in his district independent candidate
but unsuccessful OF the eleven members who voted
for the BILL five nominated reelection Flor
ence Jones Packer Bridges and Wright and of these the
frs three reelected OF the fourteen members who
voted against the bill renominaed viz Dick
Rtche Curtis Grow Holsters Drum, and Trout OF these
the first four reelected The proportion of each class
renomnated is nearly equal possible and the propor
ton Of the nominees elected, of each class is nearly
equal possible
In Indiana and Ohio the influence Of the ant-Nebraska
excitement upon the elections may prove have been
greater may We tell better when the
figures. We rather guess it viii the defeat
OF many of the democratic candidates rather aribut
BILE TO grand combination of all the upon this their
only common ground-yiz hatred to the democracy and
upon this their only chance of successvz pull all to-
gether, If by any possibility they should get the upper
hand for time il needs forete that they would
very quarrel among themselves being like conglom
Grafton of pebbles without natural cohesion and only kept
together by outward pressure.
While il is admitted that the number of opponents to the
Nebraska bill in the delegations the Congress from
the three States just mentioned will be greater than in the
delegations to the present Congress from the States is
be noted that every who would have voted against
the bin original will for repeal II may
also be presumed that the southern delegations the
next Congress will be unanimous against repeal The
seven States which, prior Pennsylvania Ohio and In
DIANA elected representatives added nothing the anti
Nebraska strength in that body compared with the dele
cations from the States in the present Congress On
the whole for believing that majority
of the House of Representatives will be in favor
storing the Missouri Compromise and if by chance such
majority should be found it viii be entirely unavaling
both the Senate and the Executive will continue be in
| favor of the law as it stands
The State elections, thus far will add little nothing
to anti-Nebraska strength in the Senate In Ohio Ne
braska ugh has been elected in place Of Chase
(sol j another in Georgia; Arkansas Missouri, Florida,
California, and North Carolina have chosen legislatures
which will elect Nebraska senator's the vacancy in YER
mont will be balanced by the vacancy in North Carolina
several of the States which viii elect anNebrasks
tors represented in the way at present; and, in
short the chance of electng anNebraska senator in
New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Indiana Illinois, and Iowa
is about the whole chance which remains Of increasing the
antNebraska strength in the next United States Senate
On the whole the antNebraskaes hardly do better
than acquescer in the existing law seeing it is beyond
their power to repeal it. After the November elections
there will be great motive for agitation. Kansas will
soon be knocking for admission into the Union with free
constitution and who is he that would exclude her? Ne
braska would be along in due time. Freedom of popular
action is the safest road TO freedom in general.

Philadelphia Bulletin of last evening, which claims that
