What the Revolutionists of the Union have

what the HevoiutlontSts OF the Union have
Already Acoomplished.-They have rendered
all opposition to the Nebraska Bill odious.-
Having been carried on, on the part of
most Of the leaders, under the advice of
Messrs. Sumner and Greeley, assuredly for the
purpose of defeating all legislation of Con-
gress, unless the majority will submit to be
ruled by the minority, it will stink in the nos.
trils of the people everywhere
1t has killed. politically, all Southern men
who will finally array themselves against
the bill, in contest waged against the South
under the Generalship of Messrs Sumner and
Greeley-and such contest as it was since
fhursday noon, to last night at midnight. 1t
has done that for the South, which the latter
could not accomplish for itself over the cues
ton. That is, it has aroused her sons as one
man, to stand earnestly and ardently in sup
port of her representatives, without distinction
OF party, who were resisting revolutionary
measures essayed avowedly and only by way
of striking blow at her.
We will hear no more after the end of the
present Congress, of any gentleman from the
South, as public man, who continues stand.

bell, of Ohio; Wentworth, of Ill: Davis. OF

holders at the same office, and it is the duty Of
the postmasters to duly place such things In
the boxes Of those to whom they NAV be cd.
dressed.
The Exact Terms.-We learn, on the Ave.
nue.. that the terms on which the majority
agreed to adjourn last plight, were as follows.
viz: Some Of the Northern opponents of the
bill, represented by Messrs. Seymour and Ed
serton, and of its Southern OPP onents repre-
scented by Mr.. Hunt, intimating that their de-
sire was only to secure the right of free dis
cussion on the part of the minority-not to de-
feat the constitutional right of the majority to
pass the bilI-suggested to friends of the mea-
sure the propriety of consenting to an ADJOURN
ment, to allow the minority to determine, af.
ter consultation, precisely how long they re-
quired for further debate. They are uuder-
stood to have given virtual pledge that if the
anti-slavery opponents Of the bill failed to
agree to some settlement which should secure
to the opposition what they claimed to be their
right Of free discussion, while it did not in
fringe the right of the majority to pass the
bill. after such debate, in due time, and as
other bills are passed by majorities, they
would aid the majority in bringing on final
decision upon the bill
Three Fights, Almost.-In the course of
last nights House proceedings, collisions we're
imminent for some moments between Messrs
Clingman and Wheeler, Messrs Edmundson
and Wentworth, and again between Mr.. h.
and DIR. Campbell. Happily no blows passed
however
The Renewal Of the War Of Legislative
Revolution.-As soon as the journal was read,
this morning. in the House, the forces com
inanded by Major General Sumner, under the
direction Of Lieut.. General Greeley. recon.
menced their system of tactics, wherein. at
least upon the first vote by yeas and nsys.
they found themselves without the counter ance
of most of the Northern Democrats who had
been acting with them up to the adjournment
last night at midnight. The latter thus car
ried out the implied pledge, on their part.
under which the majority consented to an ad-
journment.
The United States Sloop-of-war Cyane has
just been heard from at the Department. She
was as Havana on the Sth of May. On her way
to New York, with Lieut. Strains party on
board, all rh0m were recruiting in health.
The Probable Course.-At half-past one to-.
day, it was understood in the Hall that Mr.
Richardson would soon move an adjournment,
to enable the minority to consult as Mr. Hunt
desired; giving notice at the same time, that
on coming together on Monday the majority
would consent to no further delays to that end
Mr.. Hunt, Of Louisiana.-It will be per-
ceiVed from eur House report, that Mr.. Hunt
explained that the understanding of tho Union
and OF course ours, as we fell into the same
error as to the drift Of his remarks-was incor.
rect. We have barely time to thus call atten-
ton to his explanation ere going to press.
