""e think it very probable that strenuous ef
fort will be made TO incorporate the Wilnot Proviso
in the act organizing Nebraska but We do hope that
the present Congress wiil not disgrace itself by in
tiictlng so great wrong upon the South. As Pres
ldent Pierce however, is strong friend to the
freeso faction that will insist upon the proviso we
shall not DC surprised il he avors the disruption of
the late compromise. We prepared for anyt thing

AsaeriHe Spectator.
. The above is specimen of the manner in which
the whig Press is accustomed to treat the Admins
tation Of President Pierce The intelligent editor
of the Asheyiile Spectator thinks that President
Pierce will cooperate with the Free-soilcrs in pro-
curing possage of the Wilmot Provsol And yet
the President is known to be favorable to Mr. Dou-
glas Bill for organizing Nebraska and Kansas, in
which there is clause repeating the Missouri Com
promise, which is but another name for the Wilmot
Proviso. Both the Missouri Compromise and the
Wimot Proviso work the exclusion of slavery from
the territory of the United States by Congressional
legislation. And the President who favors the re-
peal of the Missouri Compromise because it unlaw-
fully prohibits slavery in the United States terrific
~, is to be held up as likely to favor the Wilmot
Proviso? If this be not rank injustice we know not
what to cali it. Fayetteville CarOlinidn.,

NEBRASKA One of the Washington Correspond
ents of the Baltimore Sun says:
1.-THE debate Oh the Homestead Bill in the House
to-day continued by terrific onslaught on
Nebraska and Kansas, on the part Of Mr.. Sapp, OF
Ohio. Mr. Sapp, was followed by Mr.. Wheeler, of
New York in an attack Of great force and power on
the Presidents policy of making yourself strong
with your advcrsaries and weak with your friends.
Some personalities against the President had, per-
haps have been better omitted: The chairman OF
the committee ruled Mr.. Sapp's speech on Nebraska
ont of order but was overrulcd an appeal being
taken from his decision. This showed disposition
on the part of the majority to debate Nebraska.
There is very little probability Of the Territorial
Bill being put its passage SIS soon as 1t shall come
down from the Senate. There will be months de-
bate, at least, and many attempts to XII! 1t by amend
ments There seems to be disposition here, some
where to get it through aoth or scithout further
amendments, "in some shape other" but Judge
Douglas is determined not to yield his convictions.
vote was taken his own amendment to-day,
amp the resut-35 votes to 1G-showed sufficiently
the confidence of the Senate in his forecasc and dis
cretion.
The objections raised by Gen. Houston. Of Texas,
did not embrace any vital part of the bill. The
Cherokees Ghoctaws, Ch:ccsaws and Greeks, whose
fate the Honorable Senator dcpored, live, thanks to
I an overrung providence, outside of Nebraska and
Kansas, and will rot be exposed to unnecessary
hardships from the passage of the bill Firmness
and decision the part of the friends OF the bill
will carry it through without much difficulty, In
either House"
CAL1FoRNIA The letters from California speak of
the terribly depressed condition of business in San
Francisco. Entire cargoes were disposed of to pay
for the freight storage and commission. Goods have
been sent forward vastly beyond the requirements Of
the country and the consequence is that there is no
sae or at least sale that realizes anything for the
Shippers. 1t is predicted that many the men OF
business in that place will be ruined before the year
| is closed. 9ss -
- The Senate of Georgia did not concur with
its coordinate branch of the Legislature in the pro-
priety of removing the seat Of Government of the
State from Mledgeville to Macon; and, instead OF
agreeing to the resolution of the House, adopted
solve submitting the question of removal, as well as
the locality of the capitals to vote of the people of
