Their N Will be received or rejected is a question which
seers 10 ba SIN involved IN great DOUBT n is IN be
hoped however that all efforts to defeat it will be uua
ealing The admnistraf;on is committed in favor of its
adont,on The southern democracy with very few ey-
cenons are urgent in recommendation OF its recepoe
And nv verv large proportion of the Northern dame
crazy Too the admission of kansas without farther quar-

variety OF phases and In SO character a. 70
have rendered one of the most difficult and dangerous
problems that have ever been TO the
Cngress The Nebraska act itself a The lime OF
its enactment was thought 10 embody principles and pro

It's nervaa,ng INTERCHANGEABLE right OF The neonle alone Ia
