The bill was then passed.
The Senate, at seven minutes before 8 o'clock A.
NJ, adjourned to meet on Friday morning." a' ,.,
Upon examining the above vote It will be seen
that twenty-six Democrats and seven Wings voted
fr the bill, and nine Democrats and thirteen Wings
against it. The only votes from the Slaveholding
States against it, are those of Messrs Badger, Bell
Metcalfe and Underwood. The Washington Union
notices this vote as follows -.. .~--..-.v, ...
ave are happy to do justice to every member of
the Whig party, be he from the north or the south,
VINO lends his aid to the settlement of this vexed
question. No scene was ever more striking than
that exhibited in the Senate of the United States on
Wednesday and Wednesday night, even to yester-
day morning. After listening to long debate during
the day, the friends of the bill were determined to
a..
Speech followed speech. Mr.. Bell rung all the
changes on the bill. Mr.. Niles spun out his long
YARN during the night, and expected to out the
patience of his hearers. Mr.. Upham opposed the
measure with all his vehemence. Orator Numbered
after orator, but the majority remained at their posts,
ike faithful soldiers, and it not until Yesterday
morning that the question taken and the bill
pssed by majority of IL. This decisive vote of
Senate taken after due deliberation and after
long debate, and an unprecedented session of 21
hours in that body! We proud to see the ele-
nents of which that majority was composed. We
ind in it senators of both parties-the most decided
whigs with the mostmfexible republicans and what
Is still acceptable in measure of compromise,
twas made up of differnt sections, without regard
. to geographical diVisions-so great the anxiety
manifested to settle this agitating question, and give
nanquity the country, and stability the Mon.
We regret to say that four of the southern senators
voted against it, viz Messrs. Badger of " orth Ca
nlina, and Bell of Tennessee, and the two senators
" rom kentucky. ~.
And now comes the question, What will be its
H hte in the House of Representatives We look to
its solution with great anxiety. If all compromise
BO be sacr6ced-if this mschievous matter is to be
Kept open for the agitators of the north to employ
II tas fuel for the fame-if Congress is to adjourn
Without settling it, and then the northern party, with
free soil as its basis, and the New York agitator at
head, is to swell the tide and to increase the fer
nent and add immensely, perhaps fatally to the diff
ieulty and danger which follow In its wake-those
FhO produce the delay will have fearful response
alty to encounter We call upon the south especial
y to watch her representatives, who have this des-
rate game to play for party purposes. We call
on the southern wings to do their duty to the coun-
II ~, or to for the consequences Let them
Dt PRETEND we do not like this form of compromise ;
We would like other. Why, then, did they
rte for the adjournment of Congress on the 9TH
hgust! =. ....
]Ihe time may-com when we must speak palmer
ahe south about the southern wings. Upon their
vote rests the decision. Upon their course depends
he fate of any compromise. They have 1t IN their
power to throw oil upon the waves. But will they
@ni" .- f ..-.
The two Senators from North Carolina divided on
Ibis question-Mr. Mangum for and Mr.. Badger
'galnst the bill. The Register came out, week or
NO since, for Mr.. Clayton's compromise; will that
aper be good enough to say which is right, Mr.
Nangum or Mr.. Badger! We have not seen full
for of Mr.. Badgers remarks against the bill, but
sfnd the following in the Telegraphic summary of
New York Herald of the 9th:
Mr.. BADGER of North Carolina followed, and ad-
ASed the Senate at length In the course g has re-
'hs he said that admitting the right gf Congress to
F'aot Sauery territories, that he would still de-
+ecate Its exercise. He expressed surprise at the
anner In which the bill had been. received at the
lNh when it was considered that it was surrender
on the part of the South for the sake of peace and
lon Hedeclared he could only vote for 1t because
obtained greater good to the whole country, than
@ld ensue from the maintenance of her rights. He
ad that he loved his party (the whig party) dearly;
Ae A could sacrifice all party considerations cheer
'ny for the settlement of this great question:.
Une would infer from the above remarks, that Mr..
Ndga intended to vote for the bill, but he voted
s"na it. There is general anxiety in this COM
UNITY to Mr.. Badgers reasons for his course on
