The Nebraska Outrage Contaminated.

The deed is done. The act Of perfdy is accom-.
plishcd. The House OF Representatives, under
the power Of party drill, aided by official influence,
have passed, under the previous question, the in.
famous Nebraska Blll-not called for by any por.
ton Of the people, but COTTON up to promote the
ambitious purposes o. designing politicians. The
passage OF this bill, violating as il does The plighted
faith Of the nation, puts on end TO all compromises,
destroys all public confidence. and opens wide the
door for public agitation. When the claims Of an
institution, which is Of itself foul blot upon our
country, override all otter interests, and irample
in the dust all compromises and compacts, II is
time for all patriots to look about them, and TO in.
qulrc what measures shall be adopted TO resist
these encroachments upon the rights Of the North.
II our country wishes to preserve her character
abroad, or secure harmony at home, some active
and efficient measures should be taken to assert
the rights Of the free States, and protect them
against the cncroachmcnts Of the slave power
The day Of debate is past. Active measures and
united effort alone can save the Republic
