The Kansas and Nebraska bill an Ohio-No
more Concessions to the demands Of Slauery,
Union or no Union.
CLEVELAND, ONO, June 81, 1854.
To the Editor of The National Era:
For some weeks past, | have been travelling
through various portions Of Holmes county, in
this State, one of the strongest Of Democratic
counties in former years; and as my business
has led me almost entirely among country peo-
pie, | have had a pretty fair opportunity Of
learning their opinion on the subjects that
head this article, and that head is good sum.
mary Of that opinion, irrespective of party.
Very few Democrats will say anything in
favor of the Kansas and Nebraska bill, while
majority Of them are very decidedly opposed
to it,
Shareholders have done asking for compro-
misses, and now insolently demand all, in now
arrangements, and repudiste all previous COM
promises that stand in their way. The past
servility of the North, or portion Of it, and
the final acquiescence Of the majority under
the plea Of avoiding agitation, has induced
them to believe that they may with IMMUNITY
demand Just what they please in future. But
they are mistaken, rs they will yet find. The
passage of the Kansas and Nebraska bill seems
to have nearly if not altogether, annihilated
all former party lines, and the term Adolf
ZIONIST y has ceased to be one of reproach,
since it now includes all but shareholders and
doughfaces.
The talk about avoiding agitation to preserve
the Union, will not be regarded in future by
any sensible person, as the opinion is becoming
very general among the people here, that the
Union is vastly more important TO The South,
than the South is 10 The Union, and, IL she
doubts il, they are perfectly willing she should
step out and try the experiment; and much
prefer that she should 20 now, than to wait
till we are saddlcd with an additional debt of
some hundreds Of millions of dollars for the
purchase or conquest of Cuba and large por-
ton of Mexico, for the special benefit Of slave
breeders, which is what they evidently intend.
Thank Heaven, we have at last como 10 a
point where the people generally think that
lorbearance ceases TO be virtue; and a.
shareholders are for repudiating all compro-
miscs that favor, in any respect the interest Of
freedom, we Of tho North may now with pro-
priety do as much for freedom as Shareholders
havo done for slavery, and we mil do al, TOO.
Truly, yours for freedom,
II. M. ADDISON.

Quoted in chief by Mr.. Clayton and Mr.. Dodge

In the House, much Of the time was con-
sumed in considering bill regulating the pay
Of the persons in the service Of the two houses !;
when joint resolution was adopted, making an
increase Of 20 per cent upon the present salaries.
The bill to authorize the construction of four
revenue cutters, and for increasing the pay Of
tho officers and men in that service, was taken
utof Committee, and rejected. A bill appropri-
ating $4,000 to clear the distractions in the
mouth Of Cape Fear river, was presumed to DO
