6 the credit of the act. No southern man, no friend of compromise, no friend of the Union wili envy him the miserable distinction. Without even pay ing the bill which has occupied so much of the tune and talents Of inc Senate the plimen, of discus sing h for half an tour, he fushes at once upou it's des;ructiga. The opportunity of amending fl, and modifying II, or giving any one who values the tran- guilty ofihe Union the slightest chance of rlacinS II in ioi tn which might prevail this southern whig moved 10 lay il upon the table; and he succeeded Seven other southern whgs joined him in the unho- " efce; and theF votes have defeated bill which so many persons consider essential to he tranquil iiy, and perhaps the stability of our Union Be theirs the fearful responsibility the odium oi the act. The vote upon laying it upon the table stool as follows: Yeas ll2 4 motion was made 10 reconsider this vote, and then motion to lay that motion upon the table as tAken which prevailing inc bill was finally rejected. and, for all practical purposes, might as well have remained in the brain of its public spirited Projector forever.
 In the affirmative vote strange contrasts are per. ceptible. Gentlemen have recorded their names to- geiEer, some of whom, very probably, never voted together, except on question of adjournment, be- fore Among the number of remarkable eoinei-, dcnces, We notice. tor no invidious purpose, the l following: Mir. Wilmot, Of Penn.--Mr. Pendleton, of Va. Mir. Giddngs, of Ohio Mir. Crozier of Tenn. Mir. Stephens, of Ga.--Mr. PaliIey, of Mas. Why this bill waslaid upon the table, no one knows, except by conjecture. No reasons were given, nor eculd be given under the gag. that was peIinseious- " placed upon the lips of all and thus the labor of weeks, the child born in dog days, after the agonies of dog night i the Senate was tbrottled by gen 'tfemen for and against Mir.

Upon this subject we have 10 state, that decided whig from Massachusetts, declared yesterday, if this compromise bill passed, General flor would not get vote in 'a free State" And fer this object the compromise IS 10 De s;notheftd and the Uiicn Is 10 be perilled. 1 The following is the vote by States, on Mir Ste- veuss motion 10 lay the bill on ,he table, the demo- cIats ia roman and the wings in itaiics
