A Washington correspondent, Of the PhiladeI-
phia Inquirer, in speaking Of the Nebraska bill
and III. clause repeating the Missouri eomprs-
/ mise, thH takes oil The Administration for its
shifting course, as indicated by its organ, The
Washington Union:
I "As for the Administration and its
organs, they are in a pitiable position.
Possessed of no fixed priuciples---anx-
ioas only 10 try and GET on the strong
side, they have changed and veered
around daily, till even their friends RI.
dicule them. One day the Union
abuses the idea of abrogating the Mis-.
souri, COMPREHENSIVE next it ap.
plauds the very thing il the day before
denounced. The day following, it a
gain hesiiates--and SO on e. The end Of
| the chapter. We can imagine the rdli-
! tor of the Union playing the part Of
Polonius, at the White Iluuse, as Gcs
neral Pierce hourly shifts his ground
with regard to the Nebraska bill, thus :
| Hamief-( General Pierce)-Do you
see yonder cloud, that's almost in the
shape 0f camel 7

NEBRAsKA.-The Washington cores
pendent Of the N. Y. Courier writes
that the whole Standardization Of the
New York democracy is ia open re-
bellion against the Administration on
the Nebraska Bill Resolu tions for.
warded from Washington to the Tam
many committee were Indignantly re-
iected. Also, that Bissell, Wentworth,
Washburn, and two other Illinois mem
bers, have declared sgaiHst the bill
The N. Y. Illness correspondent
writes that the Bill has created much
bitterness between the Csss and Doug
las wings Of the party. And that Col.
Benton and three other Missouri meal-
bcrs are against The bill. The colonel
is reported to hase said Douglas, Sir,
is politically dead, Sir; if he fail IL
carry his bill. the South will kick him
in the rear. Sir; and if be does carry
il the North will beat bis brains out,
Sir. That's all. Sir"
The EXPRESSES correspondent says
that Gen. Houston openly expresses
his opposition, and says that Gen Rusk
agrees with him. The same cores.
pendent writes. however, that there is
a clear majority in the Senate for the
Bill.
II is believed that the Cabinet is di-
yided on the question; and il is said
that if tke Bill fails the Cabinet will
break up; il il succeeds, that MIR. Mar
cy will retire.
Upon the whole the prospect of peace
appears gloomy. The Indications az,
strong that the slavery agitation vii
be renewed with bitterness equal t
that in. 1880. Fay. Obstrrer.
