Fof our part we are weary o. discussing the slavery
question as directly and ccIIaterally brought up 10
the debates ia Congress on the bill providing Tor the
admission Of Kansas into the Union. we want ac-
tion.-no more discussion--no more temporslng-ho
more compromising. But, cur duty TO our readers
as faithful journalists constrains US to pursue sub
ject which is rapidly fastening on to rs catastrophe
ia order that they may be fully fortified in regard to
all The valuable intelligence stirring and startling
times conspire 10 bring forth.
Our readers already advised that Senator Seward
bas trumphantly declared that the victory of the
North over the South is complete, and that recon
strucon Of the Supreme Court Of the United States
is absolutely essential that Senator Wade, Of Ohio
has stated that under no circumstances, if be could
prevent IT, should another slave State ever come into
the conederacy that Senators Foot, Hale Simmons,
Wilson and Others have repeated the same infamous
sentiment; and that the bill for the admission of
Kansas, encountered as it was by amendments strk-
ing directly at the principle Of nonintervention, as
embodied in the Kansas Nebraska act and in the Cir
cinnati platform, only passed the Senate by meagre
majority. So much for the Senate. Now for the
House.
The bill is now in the House, and the probabilities
that it will not pass, although il has been shorn
with which the South had any interest. Let us
glance at the declarations Of few Of the leaders Of
that body so that we may properly appreciate the
/ present and duly estimate the future. Mr.. Farms
worth, Of Illinois, said $50 help me God, another
slave State shall enter the Union by my vote"
Said Mr.. Giddings of Ohio II will never consent
that Ohio shall associate with another slave State.n
Said Mr.. Bingham, Of the same State II will not
fop fha a1f of i'll,
mott Said Mr.. Colfax, Of Indiana 81 would not
vote for the admission Of Kansas if the tnhoe people
came here with slave constitution Aud so said,
in substance, Mr.. waldron, of Michigan, and Mr..
Morse of New York, and many leading Black
Republicans of the House, who with the aid of Abo
litionzed Northern Democrats unquestionably con-
troll the popular branch Of the National Legislature
So much by way Of preliminary, in order that
there may be no misunderstanding thepart of the
public. Now for the programme alluded to in the
caption OF this article. The New York Evening
Post Is of the ablest and most influential of the
Freesoil journals of the North The Tribune has
more weight with the ignorant rabble the canaiHe
Of their cities and vlages--but the Post circulates
largely among the wealthy and the called religious
classes, and is regarded by them unfaiing ora
Gle. It. therefore, has solid, and consequently
more dangerous influence over its readers yields
more actual power than dozens of the rabbe that go
to swell the Tribunes circulation.
In the Post Of the oath alt. we find the following
programme Of future proceedings the part of the
Black Republicans authontatively promulgated. To
il we invite the earnest attention Of the Southern
people

the House OF Representatives of the next Congress

Well, fellow-citzens of the South. how do Won
fancy the programme? It il detailed and autborita

to the point which, once attained, will sink the
Southern people to the lowest depths of serElike
degradation 1t doesn hesitate or falter, but with
the inspiration of coming triumph ana conscious

oriental despots generally do to their aelnowledued
slaves.
