O-We are indebted to the CINCINNATI
Gazette for the following interesting article.

We published yesterday the resolution sub
mitted in the lower house of congress on the
Goth instant, by Mr.. Wentworth, of Illinois,
and the very decisive vote by which it was
adopted, under the call which Mr.. w. made
for the previous question and his demand for
the yeas and nays. We were compelled, how
ever, to omit the list of yeas and nays till to-
day; and in now giving them, we republish
the Resolution, that so important PROPOSE
ton and the vote had upon it may go to our
readers together.
"ResoLUed, That the General Government
has the power to construct such harbors and
improve such rivers as are necessary and prop
err for the protection of our navy and our COM
merce, and also for the defences of our coun-
try
In order that the history of this important
movement may be complete in our columns.
we state more fully than was done in our pa
per of yesterday, the attending circumstances.
The first was motion by Mr.. Venable North
Carolina locofoco) to lay the resolution on the
yeas and nays, when Mr. V. Withdrew it. A
brief conversation then ensued between Mr..
Gayle, the Speaker, Mr.. G. Houston, and Mr.
Wentworth, on point of order. After which
MIR. Root (Ohio Whig) called for tellers on
seconding the demand for the previous ques-
ton, who were ordered, and reported l04 in
the affirmative. The previous question being
therefore seconded, the Speaker stated the next
question to be, ''shall the main question be now
put?"-whereupon Mr.. J. G. Ingersoll penn
sylvania locofoco) desired, before voting, that
the mover of the resolution should give him
some information respecting term used in
the resolution, as he was at somewhat a loss
to know its precise meaning. What did the
gentleman mean by the term government
Noresponse is reported, and the main ques-
ton was ordered, Mr.. Wentworth calling for
the yeas and nays on the adoption of the reso-
luton. The yeas and nays being ordered, Mr..
Cummings (Ohio loco) asked for a division of
| the question, so that the vote should be taken
separately on the portions referring to militia
ry and commercial purposes. The Speaker
said the call for division came too late. The
main question was then put: "Will the House
agree to the said resolution?' and the yeas AMI
nays were as follows:
