The Bill does a simple act of Justice to

the South. 44 #Ff7ta
We have been panied to see that some
Wing journals in the South actually OPP
pose, whilst others by their silence have
given countenance to the idea in the
North that we are divided. This is not the
case at all. We have not seen a single in
dividual who does not heartily approve the
bill, though it is fathered by Judge Doug
las and backed by the Administration.
We often hear the Wings talking about
national Whigs-siIyer-gray Wings at
the North but we venture the prediction
that there is not single Wing in either
House Of Congress, from the non-slaye-
holding States, that will vote for this bill.
On the contrary mos. of them will speak
against it, Not so with the Northern De-
moeracy. There are some in both Houses,
who will be found ready to do us justice
though it break them down. politically
for the prese ut. The South secured thro'
will put them all right again.

To give our readers some idea of the

from that time-honored and faithful senti-

We are awaiting, with no little anxiety
some demonstration from the Wbigs of
the South in regard to the Nebraska
bill. Sincerely solictous that the South
should present an unbroken front in this
controversy, we must confess that we feel
some apprehension lest .he " hig party of
the South will fail to sustain the interests
of their action, with the zeal and energy
which are essential to success. The histo.
ry of the past does not warrant any very
confident anticipation of firm and manly
stand by Southern Wings in support Of
Sothern Rights. In every. crisis Of peril
to the South, their conduct has been modi-
fled ifnot determined by the prepondera-
ting influence Of their Northern dilies.-
Without question or murmur, they have
submitted to the command and followed
the example of Henry Clay, who was of
all Southern men, the most backward and
lukewarm in defending the interests of
