Besg~ The Washington correspondent OF the Boston
Post writing under date Of the 18th nst thus states
the question between Senator Douglas and the admins

point about as nearly have yet seen, and shows
that the Democratic press Of the North is yet sound up
on this issue .
"There no use in concealing the fact that by the

considered having gone into opposition. This does
not imply that he has gone over to the black repub-
cans by any MEANS for there various shades of oppO

bound hand and foot waiting for Congress to pass

law to be the most transparent sham.
If an enabling act is necessary to confer upon the
people the first attribute OF popular sovereignty, what
function did the Nebraska law confer? Thus Senator
Douglas is abOrng efectually to destroy his work
and to declare by act of Congress that the Nebraska
bill humbug, while the friends of the adminstra-
ton endeavOrng to maintain that it did actually
confer upon the people of Kansas the rights which it
pretended to confer and that does not need to be cob
