After nearly four months of wrangling,
che Senate Of the U. S. on the 23d day of
March, passed the bill providing for the

This vexed question is now legitimately
before the House of Representatives-the
popular branch of Congress, where we hope,
q different fate awaits it. From present
appearances, the struggle in that body will
be brief and decisive. We know not upon
what the opinion is predicated, but the
leading papers of New York, Philadelphia,
Washington, and in fact, all the larger
Northern cities, are unanimous in the opin-

The action of the Lecomptonites is based
upon expediency. They want to force
Kansas into the Union, for the sake Of end

Compromise, of lS20-the object of the
Nebraska bill was to "gct the Slavery ques-
