The SheepishneSs of Northern Repre-
srniaiiyeS in Congress.

We give below the sum aud substance oil
speech made b, Mr.. Stevens, OF Georgia, on
The Nebra>ki subject, IA few days ago, as re
rorted by j. :. +, the correspondent Of The
New lolk TriGu,e:
Wei, gent:emem, y u make good deal of
clamUr over this Nebraska measure, but II
don't alarm us al all. We have got used 10
lnaL kind oi talk. You are n mouthiug, wh,,-
lrcred set Of COURSE on will oppose the
measure; We expect but we don't care for
our opposition. You will rail, but we are
used lo your railing. You will his, but so do
ad Iers We expect it OF adders. and we ex-
pee, 1t of you. You are like the devils that
were pitched over the battIements Of heaven
into hell. They set up howl al their dis
cumiituie, AID So will yuu. But their fate
was sealed and SO is yours. You must sub
mt to the juke, So don't chafe. Gentlemen,
We have got you in our power. You tried to
drive US to the wall in 1850, but things are
changed. Then and before you were lmprrious
and grasping, and would not agree 10 run the
line vi 36 deg. 80 min. TO the Pacific AMI lake
ali The territory tu The north of that line. Yuu
were greedy and wanted more. But now you
will lose the whole. You went "a wooing and
have come home heeced Don't be so impu-
de;;, as 10 complain. You will only be slap
pc in The lace. Don't resist. You will be
lashed INTO obedience. The Legislature of
/ New Yuik, of Rhode Island, Of Massachusetts,
the Northsln diyines, the opponents OF Ne
Uraska every here are merely addris, whose
vocation j! is to hiss they are simply bowling
devils who shall all be sent to hell. !"
Mr. Stevens was Wing. So is ]. S. p
Such arrogance porlrays The humiliation TO
which the North politically are reduced. The
people that possess, lnduNlrially. physically.
morally and intellectually, more vigor aud vi
tanly Than any o,her people On earth, are thus
proeraled under the heel OF he slave power,
Wing aid Democrat both put their heel
on US; both affiliate there. But huw is il at
The North Great parties, or the great and
petty leaders oil parties. for their own eleva,
lion, stIve to smother The truth. and to 'crush
oul" all men and all presses that tell the
truth. Look at Columbus at this lime. 1t is
SAID thai the noses Of all the Senatorial can
dIdates are brought to the Nebraska grind
stone except ALLEN that the very men,
like Medary, who have pretended to show
some in dep ndence, with q sickening pusilan-
im!:y, now submit to the test. Why don't
the Democratic Press speak out in tones Of
lhuneer. Why do they submit to see the
North betrayed and trampled on because a
few despeI ale and needy bullies, often corrupt
and profiga;e. find II to their personal interest
10 change their principles yearly at the die
tation OF Southern masters.
We say here. as we said few days ago
watch your representatives. Democrats

ance or non feasancel See where he doges
Oh Incidental motions TO throw the power into
the hands OF the South See that he is al-
ways in his place, and votes like a man or
every delicate question as it arises We do
not know but he will But il he does, he will
