No Title.New Haven, Connecticut, Register [Democratic](6 February 1854)
[pointing finger] The New Orleans Bulletin (a flaming whig
paper,) is opposed to the Nebraska bill, because, as
it claims, it will be of "no practical use to the
South," and unjust to "the North." Its opponents
at the North, claim that it is giving everything to
the South -- and so the two pie-bald wings of disaffection
confuse each other. Our opinion is, that the
bill was not framed with any special reference to
the tastes or wishes of either of them; but that its
sole object is to confirm the principles of the
Compromise of 1850, and remove the question of
slavery from the National Councils. This is what the
true men of "the North" want -- and what they
believe Mr. Douglas' bill is calculated to accomplish.
