Messrs Whitcomb and Bright voted in
favor of the passage of the proviso, IN
obedience to the instructions Of the legls-

ton they have voted W tn the South. Mr..
Whitcomb was elected by the vote OF

a man to have made any such speech as
| Whtcomb did to day. The point of i,
| was that the Wilmot Prov;so is humbug
| and though he should vote for il, he did
not mean anything by doing so, and
would no. do it ifwere not sure to amour,
to nothing! What friend of Freedom
would tn anlS him for his vote 50 explain
ed! We get up some rather mean Sena-
tors out our way. but il takes a soil good
