CLASSIFICATION.

Is not this singular developement Here we
find in the list OF the negatives, on Mr.. Foote's
proposition TO refer the slavery question to a com.
mittee OF thirteen, with the view OF bringing about
settlement Of the difficulties all the extreme men
Of the North, South and West-Benton. Calhoun,
Chase, Hale, Seward, and Truman Smith-the
after, the organ OF the cabinet-yoting together in
opposition Cass, Clay, Bell, Mangum, and that
portion OF the Senate who are favorable TO an
early adjustment Of the present disturbing matter
This vote is pregnant with thought, inference and
reflection All the old party, too, democratic and
wing, seem broken up and scattered to the winds.
Here isreal disunlon. Another singular fact, If a
similar division on this vote between the Northern
and Southern men. II would really appear that
Southern men, both democrats and wings, are
more favorable TO an early compromise and ad-
iusiment Of the question: than the Northern men OF
'he same denominations. Another inference seems
islpabe from this vote, and that is the evident de.
ducon that # the present agitation leads TO nsur-
fectIon or civil war al the South, il arises more
from the obs,inacy OF the Northern men, of both
pa:les, than from the Southern men.
We desire our readers to ponder over this
analysis, and the reflections and inferences that
naturally sTring from such developement We
prepare for further and more exciting scenes. The
administration led the way to this obstinate policy
Of delay, delsy-proongation proongation of the
