Washington Union:
"HoNoR TO WHOM HONOR DUE-In the midst
of the general joy which has hailed the passage of
the Nebraska bill by the House of Representatives,
Hon. Stephen A. Douglas, the early and gallant
champ ion of that measure in the Senate of the Unit
ed States, is everywhere spoken of in terms of high
praise. His powerful and courageous speeches and
letters did much to instruct ard to direct the public
mind, and he has every reason to be proud of the
result of his labors far. Although he has been
most unscrupulousy assailed, yet he has the proud
satisfaction to know that his course has been sus-
tanned by his great party, and by the approving
voice of thousands of men heretofore identified with
the opposition There is not page in the history
of his noble career upon which the future will dwell
with more pleasure and profit than that which COM
memorates his recent distinguished services to the
constitution of his country
We confess that there is feature of this proud
spectacle that dwell upon with undissembled
pcaSure-and that is, that of the hundred and
thirteen votes for the Nebraska bill in the House of
Representatives NINETYNINE democrats, and that
of this number forty-four from the free States.
The power of great principles, and the strength of
organization, thus incontestabiy proved.
There is another element in the canvass in the f.
nal vote on this question in the House which de-
serves especial notice-we allude to the fourteen
wings from the South who aided the democracy in
the popular branch of Congress pass this BILL and
who frequently bore testimony not alone against
the subserviency to the abolition power of the North
of the whole whig party of the free States but to
the intrepid and unwavering courage of the demo-
cratic column The isolated position, the energy,
the enthusiasm, and the devotion of these fourteen
men contrasted conclusively with the bitterness and
the perseverance against the bill of those who still
hope to unite the wings of the South with the Sc
ward party of the North. To the people of the
slave States this aspect of the Nebraska struggle in
Congress is full of warnings; and we much mistake
if such gallant spirits Clingman Stephens Caru-
theirs, Abercrombie, &c. &C., will not henceforth
seek safety and friends outside of those who now
proclaim hostility to the constitutional rights of the
South of the primary articles of their creed.

runa fox into his hole, and he set to work to dig it
out He dug, and he dug long way, but found
no bottom; so he thrust in his arms length to feel
If he might be near the end. He was nearer than
he thought; for Reynard, at his last retreat, sud-
denly snapped his fingers between his sharp teeth.
Anybody else would have suddenly snatched
away their hand-but not so Dande; he instantly
closed his finger and thumb like wise upon the
doomed animals nose, and cried:
Moo, sir, you haud your grip, I'll haud mine,
and we'll see whether ye get mc in or get you
