THE Southern members OF S0hsAoaD A"'e
..,;.or,lv made up their minds upon the pas
.aco os he Nebraska bill. and it seems likely
ths4 they viii not be at fault in their calcula-
.o.s 5uavine by the whole history Of the
nast. they have no reason to suppose that IN
his case. any more than in those acts OF as-
.,ecs.,on which have marked their policy here
,otarc. northern politicians will stand up for
the rights of Northern men, or maintain 'ne
integrity Of Northern Institutions. Andwith
h,l, confidence that in tho contest now wag-
ING IN the Senate upon the Nebraska bill, they
viii certainly triumph, they are already pre-
p,red to push their victory to the utmost limit
ostheir desires.
Those persons therefore, who suppose 1nas
,hn reneal Of the Missouri Compromise is to |
he the last act Of slaveholding aggression upon
the r;rhts Of the North, win soon find them
elves mistaken, they viii be made. to learn,
that slavery is not to be satisfied with any
th;nr short Of the complete and entire subju-
ration Of the North that it is not even will
ling to share the territories in common with
the non-slaying States, but that in addition
to the admission Of this insolent claim, the
spread Of slavery must be encouraged in the
tsrr;tories. BY the grant of special privileges
~ favor Of slave holders, and by rewards to
bs Maid from the national treasury, or what is
equivalent to the same thing, by donations OF
public lands to those who shall set up and es-
tablish the business Of slave breeding and
slave selling in the now free territories Of the
Union.
Originally, the Nebraska bill. presented by
Mr.. Douglas in the Senate, contained Proyis-
ions and appropriations in relation to the In
dian Tribes Of the West, but these were
stricken out in order3hat less delay might be
experienced in passing the bill through the
House, after its passage in the Senate.
Upon the motion, made in the Senate, to
strike out this portion Of the Nebraska bill,
Mr.. Douglas readily assented, giving as rea-
son for such ready acceptance Of the pro-
posed amendment, that the House Committee
on Indian affairs had bill in preparation that
would cover that point ala

with which tie South presses forward to the

Of Northeah Politicians, both in and out
Of Congress, We can as yet see no limit to the
strides Of he Slave power and we fear that the
