The Egis Of the 25lh inrt., has an article on
Senator Douglass Nebraska Bill in which it says;
Sin short there is nobody 10 Congress 10 resist it
except the Wings; and they are IN a sad minority.
The people are about to learn by experience the re-.
lentiess SoUTHRoEIsM Of the present adminisira'
ton. They will learn, too, that the only party in
this county which has pursued truly nalional and
consistent course Of policy s the Wing parlyi which
has, at al lines, maintained nationality in its leg
Islalon lavoing M secionalism and catering 10 no
Glass;
The above commentator Of Wing policy would
he consoIing to that party in their present sad mi
nory isit was true, hut it IL not true, in any par
ucuar and is therefore Of as little account as the
testimony Of rogue in his own favor. Their de-
nuncations Of sreleniless Southronsm" may be sin
cere because that s,he Souihronism has seduced and
then cheated them; but, the same time these de-
nuuciatlons are impoien tot good as the recrini'
nations of dishonest adventures who complain OF
their comrades because they have defrauded them
on; of the proceeds OF their JOINT rascay.
The old Wing party was never in sad minority
They were minority which, upon the question OF
Slavery extension, stood on the eternal rock of
truth with firm fooing and undauuted confidence.
They had principles which bound them together SO
firmly that they could neither be bent nor broken
The slave power respected and feared them because,
although they were not tht majority, they possessed
power stronger than majoities, the power OF Vir
tue, aud, by the force Of that power, when slavery
was in ISSUE they enabled 10 control majority
BIZ, the leaders in an evil hour iorsook their anti sld
very princinles for the sake Of personal ambition,
and the strength Of the Wing party was shiVered
{ atoms
The wings became the eager allies Of the most
relentless Snuihernsm." They handed over the
free soil Of Mexico the sectional" institution OF
Slavery. They gave The shareholders oil Texas
$4,000, 900 with which TO buy slaves, aud stock
that hitherto free territory, which BY the same act
was surrendered tothat State; and they passed Fu'
gitive Slave Law, which abolished trial by jury in
the free States made every citizen slave CATCHER
ami showed their estimate of northern justice, by
offering commissioners premium Of $500 for every
man they condemned 10 bondage. What power can
a patty, guilty OF such acts, exercise TO stay the
progress Of the wrongs they aided SO much to adj
vance They have lost their moral strength. They
nave lost the confluence Oh ths GUS "
thousands OF the most active and energetic members
of the party rppudaled them, when ihey became the
tools Of Southern sectionaisu; and nobody will be-
lieve them now, when they affect 10 condemn the
South.
We soemnly believe hat the whie party,so called,
is responsible for the Nebraska bill and every other
Infamous pro-slavery proposition that will succeed
the infamous g compromise" OF 1850 If the wings
had been true 10 Their pretended principles at that
time, and had maintained their integrity though they
bad lost the White House, they would have been in
position now to defend the laws, against which
Douglas and the whole host of Shareholders could
not prevail As IT is, they are truly in sad minor
ty--sad in its want of moral strength, and sad in
its want Of men.
There ia, however, Spartan band of Free Dem.
ocrats in Congress, who and will maniully OPP
pose this bill. They stand up in the majesty Of their
consistency; they are sustained by the truth and in
tegrity Of their principles. They may not be able
to preventive Slave power from perpetralns TIM
great wrong, but they viii at least be able TO NEE
that power with opposition. the strength Of which
cannot be impaired by recoslections Of the Fugiive
Slave law aud Baltimore platforms.
