Our Side.
We wish Judge McLean recollected, as one effect of his speech here, that his opponent, Mr. Miller, said, if the people of this district would return him to Congress again, he would, if they desired it, vote for the repeal of the Nebraska bill! This shows that Mr. Miller is willing to make any promise or do anything in the world to secure his re-election. But Mr. Miller knew very well what was the will of his constituents, when he opposed that will by voting for the Nebraska bill. He knuckled down to the administration, and obeyed its will by voting for that bill, without considering or caring for the opinions of his constituents. He has come home, and appeals to his constituents to support him in that vote, yet turns around and says he will vote against his other vote if they say so! Now, how can the people of this district tell him at this election what their will is, except by voting that will? If they want the vote and influence of their next representative to be against the Nebraska bill, does he suppose they will return the man there who voted for this bill? The only way in which they can express such a will, is to vote for the man who is and always has been opposed to the bill and to the principles contained in it.
But we hope our neighbor of the Enquirer will recollect that his candidate for Congress, is backing out from his position on the Nebraska question--that very question which we editors have been cudgeling each other about so long and so vigorously. We are rather inclined to pat ourself on the head, and say "good boy," for having assisted so materially in placing our neighbor's candidate in this position. We are inclined to think that from the commencement he has made, he will be an out and out anti-Nebraska man before he has fulfilled all his engagements with Judge Hall.
