The House of Representatives, on Tuesday
Gave a vote which remarkably illustrates the
truth of the proposition we recently advanced
that, instead of ANONYMOUSLY receding before
Northern aggression, the South has positively 40
vanced and strengthened its positions At yarl-
GUS times in the early history OF the government
eminent Southern men absolutely favoured the
abolition of slavery in the District OF Columbia
when Cen Jackson was about to complete Ills
soco,d Presidential term, Marlin Van Buren,, the
candidate of the Democratic party, coheeueo '''e
mower of Congress to abolish it; yet ne was Eo'0'

co,tIv the tide of Northern opinion became very
STRONG in favour of the measure, when the 'oou'"
would not rebuke Mr.. Van Buren, for pronoul'

Northern vote The South brstled up d. tiie 'ii-
dionity, and the House, at the same SESSION. It,
considered the vote. The sectional contest was
never. however, fully waged until the opening Oh

Senators volunteered their approval OF law 10 put

did not, however, touch the vital question OF aO0-

.oitators were not content to let the matter resi-
there. Mr.. Seward proposed, in the Senate
direct provision for the abolition OF slavery In 'ne
District, and was constrained to withdraw IL
seeing that there was no possible chance OF It's
success. In the House, on Tuesday, MIR. Pres

rules that he might introducea bill to Abolish
