| The New TERRIToRIEs.--The following
hints are significant Of the views Of men in q
favorable position to know the desires and in
tentions Of the Administration. We quote
from the well-known .Ionn Of the Baltimore
Sun In Saturdays issue he says:
Gone wing of the Democracy the Sofis, is
now at issue with the Administration, on the
great questions Of non-intervention as to Sla-
very. The tables are already turned, and the
Hards are the supporters of the Administra-
ton.
whether the Nebraska bill will pass or
not, will depend very much upon the decision
| of the Democratic members from Ohio. They
have the subject under consideration As they
\ 90, 80 will 90 all the Softs, and all the North
ern Democrats who are not among the very
Hards The prospect is, that the Nebraska
bill will be delayed in its passage until the Ar
resonia bill shall come up"
Again, he says, to-day:
"The Nebraska bill will be taken up by the
Senate tomorrow, and will be passed to con-
olusion as soon as possible, that is to say, in
about six weeks There is no doubt that the
Senate will sustain the bill The House would
also pass the bill, could the question be taken
at once, but the agitation of the question at the
North will not improve its prospects. The
| Sothern members will of course support the
bill, and the power of the Administration ought
to be good, under any circumstances, for fifty
| Northern Democratic votes, thus forming
majority Adhesion to the measure is made
"a test of Democratic orthodoxy and few
members wish, thus early in the Administra.
ton, to be thrown outside of the party"
| OF the Mexican Treaty, this writer says
1t is supposed that the Administration will
insist upon an amendment including Lower
California, in the cession of territory to the
United StatesD
