THE DEMOCRATIC MAsSEs.-Thc Nebraska Bill
Just passed. is the offspring Of politicians; it is
the dirty bantling of an avowcd candidate for
the Presidency. With it. or with the lying pre-
tcnce of sovereignty upon which it is based the
pcople-thc Democratic maSseS-have nothing
in common. They were satisfied with matters
as they were before this vipcr's egg was hatch

compromises as they are written: they were

the weakness and criminal s,lbscrvioncy of Con-
grcss have changed the aspect of affairs. The
party that Haunted it, victorious banners in
twcntv-scvcn States in 1852 and that was
sworn to rcpress agitation and to give the
country peace, is broken into thousand irag-
mcnts. without the power OF aggregation the
peace that was promised assumes the form OF
bitter hostility: where the sun ,honc dark
clouds now lower: where hope was, despair
sits.
The matter is with the democratic massc-.
They can make and unmakc. They can ratitv
what has been done and enter once more upon
a iuronS but doubtful contest for the intcc rity
of the Union. or they can refuse the leadership
of those who have betrayed their trusts. and
thus avoid the strait through which, otherwise,
the country is doomed to pass.
