[pointing finger] The debate on the Nebraska bill, would it was thought, commence in the Senate to-day. It is not true that the democratic members from N. York have held a meeting and agreed to oppose the bill. The persons who have been busiest in charging the Administration with favoring Free Soilism, are now "standing upon the other tack," and assert that the Administration is doing all it can for the benefit of slavery! The Nebraska bill proposes to leave the question of slavery in the Territories, to the people of the same when they shall become States - which is all that any candid mind could ask. It is in the spirit of the Compromise of 1850, and is the only proper way of disposing of the question.
