THE OPPOSITION TO THE NEBRASKA BnIr-ooNDyCT
OF SENATOR susNER--ABsuRD CHARGES AGAINST
SPEAKER BOYD, ETC.
wAanycroN, May 10, 1854
No prospect OF adjournmenttbe opponents OF the
Nebraska bill declaring their intention to keep up their
faccus opposition and the ority OF course remain
ing arm. II il dfcult to understand the of the
opposition tactics. Although the Pacific Railroad bill Is
the special order for Tuesday At cannot up unless
the House agree TO 90 into committee At present the
pending motion TO stop debate upon the Nebraska BILL
and the previous question has been sustained thereon
No motion to go into committee is in order till that
ton disposed of that M Richardson motion ust
be decided, if it takes till doonsday Mr. Sumner the
abolition Senator has been busiy engaged nizing
opposition to the viii of the majority. He urgos mem
bers TO follow the advice Of the Tribune and necessary
burn the Capitol Under his auspices the opponents OF
the bl have organized themselves into letter writing
corps and hundreds Of letters sent oil to The
country, recommending that meetings be called to sus
tain the conduct OF the minority and to denonnce Speak
Boy on the charge of unfarness &c. Row it is no
torious here that far from Mr. Boyd acting uiber,
10 the opponents Of the bill - gone even too far the
other way. No has been founo 10 charge the
speaker with unianess the door but the charge is
TO be sncakingy made against him the way we have
indicated.
1t is probable the House will not adjourn until some
time o,norrow morning when MIR Richardson will move
an adjournment It is known that the Speaker will of
course decide Tuesday should matters remain in their
present position, that motion to go into Commit
tee OF the Whole il out of order The motion pend
ing to FIX an hour to stop debate the Nebraska bin in
committee takes precedence of motion to 70 into com
mitee Hence, when Tuesday arrives the factions on
position will b. forcing the majority to aban
don the Nebraska bill than they are. But by allow
ing the minority to continue their pranks ale longer
it win all the clearly demonstrate the entirely fac
tious nature of the opposition
The opposition require In order to call the yeas and
nays, but thirty Eve to be present. and they have there
fore arranged to let half their number stay away
60 home and rest, and, after few hours relieve the
thirty five duty In this way they have an advantage
over the friends Of the bil who have all be present
for fear that Il they absent the opposition may take
advantage OF the circumstance and vote ournnent
or vote down the resolution stopping debate The ma
jorty therefore, fight at dsadvange but the Justice of
their position supplies them with the necessary energy
TO remain at their posts, while their opponents are b
patoons enabled 10 go home
The majority determined TO enforce their corst.
tutonal rights If II should be necessary TO hold on tn
the 4th OF March The responsibility Of delaying the
public business rests upon the factious minority.
