The Nebraska Bill A Failure.-The Charleston Mercury, a supporter of Buchanan, and an admirer of Douglas, declares that the Nebraska Bill is what the whole country is beginning to think it to be a failure. Says the Mercury: Senator Douglas has added much to his previous reputation by his reports and speeches, this session, on Kansas affairs. He has been bold, able and consistent in his vindication of the principles of the Kansas-Nebraska bill, and in his efforts to carry them out in Kansas. But the Fates have been against him. His great measure, which was to settle forever the question of slavery in the Territories, remove agitation from the floors of Congress and give peace to the whole country has disappointed the expectations of his friends. Upon all these points, the Nebraska-Kansas Bill so far as Kansas is concerned, has proved a failure a failure in all that could give it practical value. The question of slavery in the Territories is as far from solution in theory now as it was ten years ago, while practically it is complicated by the intensest excitement on both sides, end by violence and blood. We have before us the startling anomaly of a party actually rejecting all overtures of peace, and staking its success in the Presidential election upon the continuance of the war in Kansas.
Nor is this all. The Kansas-Nebraska bill is not only a practical failure, but Senator Douglas is himself forced to confess it, and even to introduce a bill into the Senate which proposes, in the face of its principles, 'Congressional intervention.' It virtually admits that the people of Kansas cannot take care of themselves, cannot decide peaceably the question of slavery, and that nothing but 'intervention of Congress'-the very evil which Mr. Douglas has constantly denounced, and which the Kansas-Nebraska bill aimed to suppress--can save that Territory from anarchy Mr. Douglas. the great champion of popular sovereignty, is now the advocate of Congressional intervention.
