There ia a lull in the Political storm, for the Senate
has passed the Nebraska bill, which now awaits the
action of the House and the House pauses to learn
something further Of the spirit of the Country There
is no doubt Of the melancholy fact that majority OF
the Members of the House inclined by party and
sectional influences 10 vote for the bill ard that
thing but fearful looking for of judgment will
prevent its passage Tie southern Members are
driven up to support it in under penalty of being
hunted down as Abolitionsts; northern Democratic
Members are logged and drilled into voting for it by
the discipline OF party the patronage Of the Admins
ration and the personal solicitations of the votares OF
power Every impulse Of ayarice ambition and spec
uIation, bears in its favor while sganst it there
is no reliance but in the People alone
Do the People desire the passage of this measure
Suppose two men he'd started last October, each
with a memorial-one asking Congress to repeal the
Missouri Restriction which forbds the Introduction OF
Slavery into the Territories of Nebraska and Kansas,
and the other making contrary request-and had
gone together to every resde in the Free States ask
ing each voter TO Sign the or the other as be should
think ft-IIow many, think you, would have signed
the pro-Slayery memorial Would one in ten In
twenty in fifty ia hundred Whom do you know
reader that would have asked Congress- as an original
proposition to psss such measure as Douglass bill
Nobody expects, or magines, that the Freemen Of
the North will really approrc this arocious measure
All that is asked is that they shall aeqnesee in it, Let
the Members of the House ascertain or suppose that
they can sustain themselves notwithstanding their sup
port of the Nebraska bill it stands, and no human
power can prevent its triumph. Unless the People
say No and say it in tones of thunder, there is no
longer hope of arresting its cOnsummation
PEOPLE OF NEW HAMPsHRE, the case rests with
you If you say Veto the bill cannot pass. The
Members inclined to please the leaders at the expense
of their conscences will learn that they cannot afford
TO do it, They will know that their influence with
their miseaders, their hopes of preermen will cease
whenever they shall longer have constituencies to
betray If New-Hampshire says NO!-says it sternly,
resolutely, unmistakably-the conspiracy will be foed
for the instruments dare no longer play out the parts
assigned them. triumph over party despotism next
Tuesday will be the rescue OF an empire for Freedom
People of New.Hampshre You owe something to
Humanity in this crisis The men now crucfying her
have nowhere made louder professions of devotion 70
her requirements than in your legislative halls and
when soliciting your sufrages. Pierce, Hibbard
Norris, Wliams-a who are now foremost in the
Old Thirteen States to Slavery after the South
had united with the North in solemnly consecratiug
it TO Freedom-are all on the record as pledged
10 resist the extension of Slavery into another foot
OF National Territory. All they are now doing gives
the lie to what they have hundred times protested
and promised. Yours alone among the States of New
England will give majority vote for this bill Yours
alone among the Free States which existed before the
Revolution has already given full vote for the bill in
the Senate If you sustain those who thus eagued
with the Regulators il will be idle TO say that you do
not oppose their course-your vote will be hailed In
every slave pen and around every auction block OF the
South your acquiescence in the passage of Douglass
bill And if you succumb, the last hope of arrestins
that measure in the House will be destroyed.
True men of New Hampshire let the might that is
in you the Indignation of the betrayed the just wrath
of the wronged the spirit OF the tramPed be evioce
in your action next Tuesday Millions await In pain
full expectation your verdict-let it be such shall
bring no blush to the cheek anguish to the heart OF
ore who stands or strikes for Freedom
