PRESEVE THE RECORD!

The following are the yeas and nays on
the passage, in the House, OF the Texas
Resolutions, as amended by the Senate
Let the record be preserved. Remember
those who have proved traitors to the Con-
stitution. But, especially remember and
place a mark on those who have added to
the guilt of violation of that Constitution
they were sworn to support, base aban-
donment Of the interests, the rights and
convictions of free constituency. 2hey
were chosen to represent treenea, ,'-men
who believe that liberty and equality mean
something--men who believe SLAVERY to
be quadrupe curse,--a curse to the SIa0e,
curse to the master, curse to the SOu
and a curse to the couRtry-men who while
they have been willing to protect the south
in the enjoyment of her constitutional
rights, have looked forward to and prayed
for the speedy coming Of that day when
the blot Should be removed from the flag OF
the country, and its stars and stripes float
the pride of Republic where man oppres
sed not his fellow man. Such are the men
they have betrayed, such theirprinciples.-
They have crouched under the lash hof men
who love not the Union, and who ask for
the annexation of Texas, to weaken the
ties that bind together, in a common broth
erhood, the States of the Union. They
have branded themselves the plant instru-
ments of the Slave Power-Doughfaces!
They have eagued with the arrogant and
insolent chivalry Of South Carolina, the ad-
vocates Of southern Confederacy, the de-
tenders of perpetual slavery the uncom-
promising, seditious enemies of the inter
ests of the free States, the sworn foes of
free labor, those who avowed their purpose
to have "TIercs Oahout The Uaion," if they
could not have both, Shame and contu-
sion of face is their portion. Undying in
fanny is theirs. An outraged people will
cast them out as improbable servants, as
stencil in the nostrils of honestmen.
Every Whig from Ohio, it will I've seen,
was at his post. Their names are enrolled
among the 76 who would not bow the knee
to Baal. We hail the auspcious number
76 Those who form that ndomitable
phalanx, are worthy of place among the
ncowuptble patriots who in T6 stood forth
The champions Of the rights Of man, the
avengers Of the wrongs Of down-trodden
people. But one Wing, (Mr. DeIIet, Of
Ala.) voted with the majority for the con-
summation Of the Texas iniquity. The
Wings Of the North, South, Eastand West,
presented an untroken front. But one
man could be seduced from his duty to the
Constitution and the country. Remember
Il, ,irt hN 10 iNa
patriots Of the South, the men who dared
be jusG-who dared oppose the preiudices
and brave the wrath Of a sIave-hoding
constituency, rather than violate the sacred
instrument they were sworn to support
TWo locqtocos only voted with the noble
band of Wings Their names are r. DAVIS
and JonN P. HALE. The first is from New
Yolk, the last from New Hampshire. They
deserve well at the hands Of honest men
Of all palies. In resisting dictation and
spurnine the traitors reward they have
done well, and they will be allie to stand
erect before those whose servants they
are.
The locofoco delegation from Ohio, in de-
fiance of the known will of their cOnstitu-
cnts, and the expressed wishes of the Legis-
Ialurp, transferred themselves body and
soulto do the will Of their tosk-masters.-
They have sealed their political DOOM
Even BrmEerhoE who dared to vindicate
the insuIted people Of the North, a few days
since, and proclaim hmselft freeman, sur
rendered. his manhood, and crouched quiet
ly at the feet Of the chilvilry. 81. John fol.
lowed him, submitted to the yoke and took
the badge.
