sixteen ofthe democrats voted TO pass

Jenkins Of Oneida, and Wheaton of
Onondaga, with the twelve whig mem
tbers, voting against the bill. Had the

Lis party, a majority OF toe. delegation

dicious observer will not fail 10 note that
Messrs. Miller, Woodruff and Campbell

Besides those from, New York and
Pennsylvania, the only. democrats vo-

New Jersey and one Mr.. Perry from
Maryland. ,NewssJersey is tine only
state where democratic representatives
voted unanimously against the bill:
All the democrats from Ohio voted
for the.bilI, except one, Mr.. Cummings
who was absent. The tax on lea and
cofee was stricken out, and the duties
increased on other articles SO as TO ren-
der,he bin acceptable 10 them. They
were twelve strong; andif their votes
had been cast against the bill, as they
would have beenifil had not bean amen
ded, the majority against it would have
been Eve. We.ar happy to state that
anoble disposition. was eyinced on all
sides, to compromise and conciliete.
There were thirteen absen,ecs; ten
democrats, of whom seven, if present,
would have certainly voted for the bill,
ard three wings, Three of the absen-
have gone te 4lie war. !" There
