THE SEBBISRA Bill,
Tn the National House of Representatives re
cently, Mr. RiniAnnsoN, Chairman of the Com
mittee on Territories, gave notice that, early '
this week, he would move to take up the Ne
braska Kansas Bill, and press it to a vote, after '
allowing a reasonable time for its further dis
cussion. This announcement is both proper
and judicious, as it gives full opportunity for
members to be prepared to vole when the mea
sure U brought before the House for final ac
tion. Tihere is no utility for further delay
ing (be bill for granting territorial governments
to this portion of the public domain. All the
arguments against (lie bill prepared by Judge
l>ong!as have been exhausted, and the whole
opposition is now a dishonest factious one, head
ed by the Abolitionists and such of the 'Whigs
and Free Suilers ns are willing to be their dupes
and followers in the mad attempt to overthrow
principles on which our form of government
rests. This is the shape in which the opposition
to (he Nebraska lull now presents itself in Con- |
gross: and, therefore, Mr. Richardson’s notice,
that further delay will not be granted for hatch
ing (reason against the government, will meet
the hem 1 v response of the iKmncracy in all
parts of the I nion. All that now remains to
be done is to close up the ranks of the Republi
can party, and nobly vindicate the devotion of
the nomocracy to the principles of self-govrrn
iienl by passing the Nebraska bill u honour It
reached.
ft was very generally behcvul that the Ne
braska bill would he taken up on Monday last.
In this connection, wo obsetvp, members are
voting to hu aside hill after hill, until the Ne
braska bill is reached. It can be easily done,
members not being required to vote by \easr.n !
na\s m the Coi mi 1111 1 <e of the Whole. Several
Mc-stern members, bila-wd all along to he op
pposed to the- bill, arc now known lo he among

mies of the hill are not idle, and fearing that
some who have expressed their hostility may he
won over to vote for taking it up, threaten lo
mark and publish the names ofevery nno known
to have been opposed to the measure, who thus

personal attacks on candidates wbieb have here
tofore disgraced the political journals of onr
country, are to he discontinued and condemned.
The days of blackguardism arc passed, and our
public men can now safely come before the peo
ple for their suffrages without being made sub
jects for the vilest slanders in the vocabulary
of Billingsgate. In future, we hope the princi
ples advocated by the respective parties, and the
public acts of the nominees, will furnish suffi
cient matter for the political newspapers, and
save their readers from the infliction oflow lan
guage and malicious charges, which heretofore
found their way into their columns "about
election limes.”

Inhc of Indians, formerly of Ohio, snvs (fiat
slavery exists in Nebraska among the whiles
and Indians, in defiance of the Compromise of
IH2O. It has been in existenceever since it was
organized as an Indian Territory. True, then
are not many slaves, hut still slavery exists. —
Some slaves are held by the Indians by virtue of
their own laws and usages, and some by regular
hills of sale from citizens of Missouri. while
while settlers from the latter Stale never hesi
tate to bring slaves with them.
