THE NEBRASKA BILL TRIUMPHANTLY TESTEI
THE HOUSE


The first trial Of strength the Nebraska bill yester-
day in the House Of Representatives resulted pre-
diced the complete triumph of the friends of popular
sovereignty and congressional nonntervenon Thespec
during highest degree exciting and
gratifying 1t recalled the glorious Of 1850 when
with united and intrepid column the supporters of the
compromise measures prevailed the combined assa
ants of constitutional principles The yesterday may
well be called eloquent tribute the sauary and
wing example those measures indeed the opn
excited and rrated could scarcely have been
reconced for the laugh, and the doctrines
tablshcd during those memorable days We do not deem
this be the time recall the of yesterdays
But forbear ausion IN passing the
ennobng 6rmncs and fidelity of the majority of the
democratic party in the House No less cheering the
great vote the democratic members from the free States
MAJORITY, of the democratic representatives Of the North
and the Northwest enrolled their in its favor We
derive especial qualification from this fact because it is an
emphatic iie of oaumny which has been
poured upon the Nebraska blu and because it may
the time be held up in healthy ana instructive
the fact that @hg from ne free States roed
NTH The friends Of e measure Foriy-onc democrats from
the great North and Northwest and not whg voted for
the bill We should fail 10 give full expression feel
ugs If did refer with qualification to the noble
tras furnished by patriotic action Of the great body
the southern wings compared with the entire party from
the free States
We should be doing historical injustice if failed TO
notice the persistent efforts OF the opposition defeat and
embarss the passage Of the bill But they oiled vain
Compact and rcsoute the friends Of the rallied
its support; and from the that Col Richardson
the very able chairman the Committee Territories
made his motion TO go into committee, throughout all his
subsequent moons 10 lay certain bills the Speak
ers table in order 10 reach the Nebraske bill every vote
victory
We hail in these suspicious events not alone the speedy
organization Of the Territories but the signal that
marks the entire and final termination Of the slavery
agitation in Congress That issue win henceorward be
referred to higher ibunato the tribunal Of the people
Triple benefits will flow upon the country the result

Of the peoples representatives and the trade Of abol-
