 By oteof the House of Represent aiives oR Monday week the Nebraska kansas Bill was taken up with view iourge is passage before acting upon any other business. There now seems less prospect aha. 1he friends of Free dom will be enabled to successfully re- sist the consummaiion of this infamous project, than previous representations had led US to believe. The recent tactics of the administration appear to have been successful, and the scohe-, sive power ofpublic plumber" has been used to whip into the ranks northern democrats who have heretofore been coonted on as decidedly opposed 10 the measure.
 This change in the aspect of the Nebraska question has taken the com munity by surprise, and will not fail to arouse renewed and more earnest opposiiion than ever to this iniquity | zfss ] ss
 It had been supposed that the bill was already killed by the unequivocal evi- dences that had been given of popular condemnation. But this lDiscalled Democratic Administration care not for the wishes of the people, no matter how plainly expressed. Their demo- cracy IS less even than name, it is a most transparent cheat and imposition. The members from the North need no further evidence to prove to them that this monstrous measure is distastefll to all parties in the free States. Yet if passed, it must be by the votes of Northern members who call them selves democrats-passed in the plain est and most insolent defiance of the wishes of the people. The so-callcd democracy profess to believe in the. right Of popularinstruc,ion yet in open, resistance to virtual instructions from their constituents in nearly every dis trict in the free States, to oppose the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, Northern members persist in defying public sentiment, in a manner that is utterly without parallel.
 But the day ofreckoning is soon and sure to come. The gathering clouds of a popular tornado already darken the political horizon. Muterings, in dark thunder tones already announce the approach of popular tempest, which will not fail to sweep over the country, purifying it's political atmos- phere and sweeping down all who have dared to defy its wrath.
 The force of party drill, the corrupt seductions of the Administration, and the weakness and wickedness of mem- bers may enable the conspirators to obtain temporary triumph, and may enable them to trample in the dust a time honored compact, and consum- mate glaring outrage upon our rights. But the end is not yet. It shall be a dear bought triumph. Every nor,h- ern man who votes for it shall be a l marked man. Wherever he goes the burning finger Of public scorn shall find him out ant follow him so long as his public life shall last. The iocsin of REPEAL shall be sounded in every northern State and in every northern district. And woe betide that nor,h- erp man whoshall dare ,o7facea ner,h- constituency, alter outraging their feelings, trampliag upon their rights. aud defying their plainly expressed wishes. .sia e.sss 4.as' f
 On Monday or this week, the friends of Slavery succeeded in passing reso- lu,ion to terminate debate on the bill on Saturday next, at noon. Itis pos sible that tue continued resistance ol ahe minority may defer action on this
