There can be no better evidence of the justice
of the principle asserted in the Nebraska bill and
its efficacy in giving protection to the South,
than the shrieks and groans its passage has cal
led forth from the abolitionsts. The denial of
all right in Congress to legislote slavery into or
out of a State Territory, and the recognition
of that right in the people solely, who are to be
affected by it, depryes that pestilent faction of
a medium for agitation and mischief. which, since
and before the enactment OF the Missouri Com .
promise, they have employed without respite in
disturbing the peace of the country and heaping
insults upon the South. The rogues feel now
that the tools of their trade are taken from them.
and in their despair they are yelling through the
country like many l}edamites. These proofs
of the potency of the Nebraska bin are more
satisfactory than the South could have hoped
for. There were some very comforting di.-
plays of suffering when the Fugitive Slave law
was passed, but they did not approximate the
racking pain which this latter application gives
