On the 2sth July this bill went to the House of

On motion, the House then resolved itself into
committee of the Whole, and took up the Oregon
Bill which discussed till late hour; when on
motion, the committee and the ouse adjourned

day or two since, to get in Resolution proposing

g The motion to lay the compromise bill upon the
table-in other words, to destroy it-came from a
southern whig-Stephens of Georgia. Let him have
the credit of the act No southern man. friend of
compromise, friend of the Union will envy him
the miserable distinction. Without even paying the
bill, which has occupied so much of the time and
talents of the Senate, the compliment of discussing it
for half hour, he rushes at upon its desruc
ton. The opportunity of amending it, and modify
ing it, giving any who values the tranquility
of the Union the slightest chance of placing it in
form which might prevail, this southern whig moved
to lay it upon the table; and he succeeded. Seven
other southern wings Joined him in the unholy Office;
and their votes have defeated bill which many
persons consider essential to the tranquility, and
perhaps the stability of our Union! Be theirs the
fearful responsibility-theirs the odum of the
tsA motion was made to reconsider this vote, and
then motion to lay that motion upon the table was
taken; which prevailing, the bill was finally reject

The Union sums up the vote as follows: Against
the Compromise-that is, for laying it the table
81 Northern Democrats, 73 Northern Wings, 6
Southern Whgs-Southern Democrats none. Fol-
the Compromise-that is, against laying it on the
table, 40 Southern Democrats 81 Northern Democrats
and 81 Southern Whigs-Northern Wings
We shall take up this vote hereafter and allude to
the alleged designs of the friends of Gen. Taylor in
defeating this bill. Caucus, it is said, was held
by the Whig members, when it was resolved thai
this compromise must be defeated. Some Southern
Wings, all the Northern Wings, and the Barnburn-
ers banded together, have triumphed again in the
House of Representatives; and we confess that the
prospect appears more gloomy than ever. But we
do not despair of the Republic. We still rely upon
the good and patriotism of the Masses and shall
continue to hope on. ...-
