The Athens post. [volume] (Athens, Tenn.) 1848-1917, 1854-12-29

" Washington correspondent Of the
Philadelphia Ledger says: The attempt 10
repeal the Nebraska bill can only be made
for the purpose of agitation. Though some
members may have voted against the Nebras-
ka bill, they will not be disposed to disturb it
now that it has become the law of the land;
while those who voted for it, will not stnltiy
themselves by cashiering their own judgment.
Besides, of what use would the vote of the
House be, when the Senate passed the bill by
more than two-thrd majority, and when
the President is determined now, and as long
as he remains the Chief Magistrate of the
country, to put his veto on any repeal of the
law.

KSow.NorHISes IN CoSGREss "A cores
pondent of the Philadelphia North American,
writes as follows, from Washington, of the
first demonstration about Know-Nothingism
in Congress:
The Know.Nothings have entered Con.
gress in an imposing manner. Mr.. Sellers, of
Maryland, led the cortege this morning, with
bills and resolutions looking to the establish.
ment of their principles in legislation and
official appointments They gave rise to an
important and suggestive debate, and strug-
Gle began which lasted through the day and
ended rs drawn battle. The subject is still
pending. Already, though no member of the
present Congress was elected as Know
Nothing, the party seems to have majority
in the House. A popular feeling exists
against the appointment o. Soue, Belmont
and Owen, which, think, will compel their
recall. There was not one member who
spoke to-day, except White, of Pennsylvania,
who did not refer to them as improper repre-
sentatlves of the country abroad.
! This new question will derange all party
calculations and will submerge many existing
issues. The acutest of the democratic poliii-
clans admit that It will have its run until al
ter 1856, but after the Presidential election of
that year they predict an immediate disrup-
tion of the organization. This is a very en-
couraging view of the case for the Know
Nothings, who would probably compromise
with all opponents on the success now
promised them.
There was one point in the days debate
which was very striking Several members
opposed the resolutions with much vehe-
mencc, but none of them called the Know
| Nothings hard names. None of them abused
the new party as gang of eut-throats, assas-
sins of the constitution and so on. No one,
in short, INDUCED in that abusive slang
against native Amcricanism aud IFS principles,
which formed the staple Of the denpnciations
of the Washington Union, previous TO the
late elections. Power compels respect, and
strength is u wonderful corrective of inso-
| lence.
