Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1849-01-25
Mr.. Colts Resolution RecOnsidereu,

watched the course Of Northern members, and
the disposition they have manifested to accom-
modate themselves to the South, especially the
Wings. The vote has at length been reconsid-
erred, and the responsibility rests on Northern
men.
For the purpose of fixing that responsibility
upon those who have proved recreant to their
trust, we publish the following analysis of the
vote, taken from the Emancipator and Repub-
liean:-
On Thursday, the Dist of December, the
House OF Representatives by vote of 90 TO SO,
adopted the following resolution -" Whereas,
the traffic now prosecuted in this metropolis of
the Republic in human beings, as chattels is
contrary to national Justice and the fundamen-
tai principles of our political system, and is no.
torlousy reproach to our country throughout
clTstendom, and serious hndrance to the
progress of republican liberty among the natous
of the earth, therefore, RESOLVED, That the COM
mltee for the District of Columbia be instructed
toreport bill, as soon as practicable, prohibit.
ING the slave trade in SAID District"
We have diligently, from day to day, given
the evidence which appeared, of disposition on
the part of some Of the Northern members, to
recede from this position which they had taken.
The vote has at last been reconsidered, by ZIG
yeas, to II nays. Our Washington correspond
ent gives an account Of the infamous proceeding
