pon1r1cAI MOVEMENTS IN THE SOUTH.


The popular movements in the free States,
provoked by the Nebraska outrage, are pro-
ducing deep concern in the South. For once,
its politicians begin to fear that they have pre-
sumed too much on Northern forbearance
Instead Of the acqtiescence they anticipated,
they see in every quarter party bands giving
way, and signs of a gathering storm Of popu-
lar indignation and retribution. Already some
of them arc beginning to call upon the Con-
servative men Of the North to keep tho peace,
to suppress these movements of the People
to prevent the organization Of what they style
q great Sectional party in the free States
Such an organization they may justly regard
with apprehension, for it would deprive the
Slave Interest of its Northern allies, and bring
the twenty hundred thousand voters Of the
free States face to face against the eight hum
dred thousand voters Of the slave States; and
the issue Of such a contest at the ballotbox
could not be doubtful.
The Southern Wing Senators, when they
separated themselves from the free States, held
their private caucus, resolved to sustain Douglas
and the Administration in carrying through
the repeal of tho Missouri Compromise, and
to admonish the National Intelligsneer that its
opposition to that Administration measure was
not in accordance with the Wing sentiment of
the South, proceeded on the assumption that
the People of the North and West, should the
measure prevail would tamely submit as usual,
to the aggression, after few angry protests,
and then old party afinitities would resume
their accustomed action.
Ere this, they have found out their mistake.
The fact that their united demonstration failed
to secure the cooperation Of any portion Of
their Northern friends, even Of the National
Wings" on whom they had relied that not q
single Wing vote was given for the measure in
either House Of Congress; that every Wing
Press in the free States strongly denounced it !;
and that Judge Wade, and other Northern
Wings in Congress, promptly and openly dis
solved all political connection with them, ad-
monished them that they had overshot the mark
and their anxiety was increased still more by the
issuing Of the Anti Nebraska Address BY mem
bers Of Congress Of all political parties, and
by corresponding movements at the North
foretokening the union of the Wing masses
under the standard Of opposition to Slavery.
OF course, the first impulse was, to bully the
North into submission. This is plantation dis
oiplne. A gentleman from Tennessee, with o
signal capacity for rant and fustian, was select
cd for the occasion--and he swore terribly
The burden Of his noisy speech was, the un-
reasonableness Of the North--it had got to
submit--it must be quiet-let it dare do this
or do that, and there was an end Of the Union
as for the Wing brethren of the North, If they
would be still and quiescent, he and his friends
would oondescend to act with them--if not
they must part company---at oil events, lifting
his arms up to most painful height, and
growing very red in the face, he wished God TO
blast him and his, If ever he submitted TO deg
radiation.
The sound had come and gone, and nobody
complained Of anything but an unpleasant
sensation in the tympanum. The North was
not moved, and the Northern Wings seemed
inexcussble.
What was to be doneg First, bully--then,
COAX that is the order. The Washington
correspondent Of the Philadelphia North Amer
ican, speaking Of the concern awakened by the
determination avowed by Wade and Fessen-
den writes
@Mr Jones' of Tennessee, and Mr. Dawson,
wore anxious TO know whether this determine
ton was general whether Mr.. Seward, Mr..
Cooper and the majority Of Northern Wings
in both branches had deliberately formed that
resolution Means werc suggested Of recon
cling the differences which had arisen, and Of
reuniting the party. Mr.. Seward seemed dis
posed to conciliatery policy, but In general,
the cold answer wac returnod--war exists by
