moment when we recollect the scenes of yesterday
the House of Representatives We, however deem ii
proper to say that we have examined columns from
the 18th of January when Mr.. Burt's amendment was
offered, to the 18th of January, lsi7, when il
lecied The Oregon BILL il was before the House,
proposed extend the principle of the ordinance oil 1877
to the Oregon territory Mr. Burts amendment went to
add the words nasnuch the whole of the said ter
rtory lies north OF SO degrees and 30 minutes north la
tude known the line of the Missouri compromise We
have looked through the Union from January 10 TO jan
uary IT, inclusive and find nothing coming up to the
description in the following communication. The ques
ton about the restriction had previously come up
under suggestion from member from New York,
that no supply bill should pass except with con-
don that slavery should be inerdicted In any ter
ritory that might be acquired by the war We depre-
Gated this discussion as premature, unwise and ms
chevous and stated that when the proper time came Tor
dsposng Of acquired territory it might be, should be,
settled on the principle of the Missouri compromise
The following facts will afford remarkable illustra-
ation of the capciousness OF the times and the dis
honesty and dup6city of politicians
MANY democratic papers south have made great
noise because Mr. Holiness of South Carolina, by refu
sing to vote in the election for Speaker contributed to
the election OF Mr. Winthrop The reason Tor the COM
plaint is that Mr. Winthrop the author OF the re-
rcton on slavery in the Oregon bill of the last session
Now incredible II may seem, II is yet the TACT that
when Mr. Burt of South Carolina, proposed an amend
ment qualifying the restriction of Mr. Winthrop, accord
ing to the principle of the Missouri compromise, the
Union and other democratic papers reproved this ACT OF
Mr. Burt in amosi pointed and decided manner
And this is not all After Mr.. Burt's amendment had
failed TWENTY-FIVE southern democras-anti Calhoun
lmen-voted for the bill, with Mr. Wnihr6ps restriction
in it 1t is treason now, TO have contributed, even
indirectly to the election of the author OF that restriction
II was treason, then, to make any opposition to the
restriction itself

of Henry Clay, of Kentucky and o when the drawing
was made the sixth number, out leaped the prize

the dawer) hailed with almost universal applause,
and particularly delighted ciapping of fair hands The
cake is, of course, to be sent to Mr. Clay"
