POLITICAL GOSSIP.

IN inc reports now In clrcuihtloh tIihb III a.
tempt will be made next week to spring new
Nebraska ansas Bill upon tho House Of Rep
resentatives, and to force it precipitately
through its passage. 1t will be identicaily the
Senate bill, minus the detestable amendment
of Mr.. Clayton, and the ambiguous and artinl
amendment of Mr.. Badger.
The Home is sparse Mt present. To-day
there were seventy members absent. Never
theless, we do not believe the plotters will sue
coed in obtaining their "snap Judgment" II
they do, however, the Senate will not be fas-
tidlous on tho subject Of its amendments. The
repeal of the Missouri Compromise, and a
means Of access to Nebraska and Kansas for
Slavery are the primary objects in the view
of. that body, and it will be but too happy to
witnes. the accomplishment Of them at any
sacrifice-evcn OF honor itself
We sincerely hope that every man who is
honestly opposed to the extension Of tho area
Of Slavery will be constant on duty, and vigil
ant in his attention to the movements OF the
adversary.
II has often been vaguely asserted, or inti-
mated, that the power of the Administration,
exerted by means Of tho dispensation of it's
patronage would BIO felt in the House of Rep
rescntatives on this measure. We regret to
say that these outgivings have not, in our opin-
ion, proved bascess Facts in connection with
appointments, and corresponding waverings IN
the position of gentlemen, are spoken Of in
accents louder than whispers. 1t may yet be
our duty to speak more pointedy on this sub
jcct
A treaty with Mexico will now in all prob
ability, be perfected aud ratified. 1t win
stipulate for the payment Of ten millions Of
dollars to Mexico, we know not precisely for
what 1t will also, in some fashion, give the
countenance Of our Government to tho Sloo
claim on Mexico.
The amount Of deferred Legislation before
Congress gives assurance of q protraeted ses
sion. II has been conjecturcd that there would
be a recess OF two months at midsummer, and
reassembling early in September; but the
autumn elections in several Of the States forbid
our giving crcdencc TO this thought. Tho pres
emit session will in all probability continue I'M
til September.
These sayings must be received only as based
upon the rumors and conjectures Of the capital
