The Nebraska BHt-7he Question Good as Setaef Jtss
all Appearances-Pdry and Presidential Consequences
The Cuban Quesion-7hat Business Sup ,oci to ls
Safe Enough-Nei0s Expected.
The House has been seized with those occasional
paroxyms of industry which have always characrsel
the closing discussion Of important bill The tho
friends of the Nebraska paccaton lover the left is to
bring the bill to final vote time on Saturday evea
ing that say with the close of the week the Missouri
compromise is to be declared dead letter. lacking onIv
the Of the Senate in the amendments to
their bill and the Presidents signature to make the
peal OF the Missouri restriction a law of the land
From some intimatons, however, which were thrown
out in the course of the debate to-day is quite posi-
BILE that the attempt to bring Nebraska to vote on
Saturday will be STAYED of by the parliamentary tactcs
usually employed by the minority in such cases. and
with the result-a postponement of the insa
vote for a day or two, but no more. If we were
within ten days or two weeks of the end Of the session.
the Nebraska bill by minority could be defeated
for the necessity Of considering the appropriation bA
would compel the majority to succumb and set tho bn
aside till December. But there is limit fixed
to the duration Of this session. the majority have the
game in their hands, and they afford 10 lose two
days or two weeks upon parliamentary distractions, II
the minority can hold out so long.
Some faint hopes expressed among the opponents
of the BILL that it will get stuck upon the question Of
advocates Of the repeal have got the impression through
their hair that John NJ ayton's amendment cur tail.
ing the privileges OF squatter sovereignty to native bora
and naturalzed citizens, intended TO cripple and
break down the BILL there every to believe that
this amendment will be stricken out without remorse
in the House, and abandoned without comp junction BIZ
the Senate. We have too much Of the force Of
great issue to entertain any misgvings Of distractions
in the way of amendments proyisos when there is
working majority organized for putting the bill through
Texas Oregon, the tariff of ls42 the tariff OF lse,
the compromise of 1850 resisted by all
sorts of expedients amendments and provSos but they
were all carried And OF all those measures at
stage Of their consideration respectively indicated
much in either house this Nebraska bl quite
free to venture the opinion that the territories of
and Nebraska will be organized under the extinction

The bin prehends grand movement for the Presi.
dency-a reconstruction of partiesand especially tho
organization of great national party upon Southern
platform which win swallow up laree portion Of the
late whg party of the south, all the democratic South
ern factions and some csnsidcrab BILE democratic acon
tions from the North Tho administration in for tho
immediate and prospective benefits of this organization,
all the outstanding democratic Presidential candidates
in for it, excepting perhaps Gov Marcy who is anp
posed 10 be off upon another tack all the expectants Of
foreign missions, consuates, &c. in for 1t; many
gentlemen looking to Southern support for railroad land
bills and tariff bills are in for it, Nebraska therefore,
has been gathering strength while all the power and
al the energies ana cxpedents OF terrorism OF the
Seward orgaus and the abotonsts to have been
exhausted in the first battle. But Just when they had
imagined the field to be they have been outaanked
by the Nebraska regulars and mercenaries and the field
is lost.
We leave yeu Mr. Editor, to up the probable Pre-
sdentia consequences the Missouri repeal The i'm
preston here is that it will concentrate powerful
Northern party upon Seward, Hale perhaps Old Bull
of the repeal look to this shaping of parties the
anchor Of their salvation AT all events this Nebraska bin
dates epoch in the history of political parties.
There is very little to suppose that the
Senate Committee Foreign Relations will sanction
the policy suggested by Mr. Sldc in reference to the
island OF Cuba The Administration self does not care
to be sadded with such authority, is it much
alarmed concerning the Aricanization Of Cuba tho
late daribes in the Union would lead the credulous to
believe. II is thought that Cuba and wfl be 40
quired before the next Presidential election through
the pressure Of impending in Europe and the
cessties of Spain Meantime the people OF louisiana
in violation Of neutrality laws undertake ANY fl
clustering operations against Cuba upon their
responsibility they will be arrested by the action Of the
| government. After the arrival Of the next steamer,
there may be some important communications trans
mted to the Senate respecting relations with Spain
| and Cuba. .3N JOSE
