THE FEDERALIsTs AND THE COMPROMISE. We I'M
derstood that Mr.. Clemens in his speech here on
Thursday evening last asserted that the Compromise
acts Southern measures, and that those South
erners who were opposing them should hang their
heads in shame, &c. We utterly at a loss
to divine the for making assertions of this
kind where their dsproof is easily obtained-the
amount of credit that should attach to the naked
sertions of individual regardless of the facts in
the case, will leave the public, after this
shall be completed.
The two most important measures of the Compro-
mise, and those against which the objections of the
State Rights have been almost entirely urged
are the admission of California, and the abolition of
the slave trade and slavery too, under certain contin-
gencies. in the District of Columbia. We have run
the vote in these two bills in both Houses of
Congress, and the following is the result
Fol the admission of California in the Senate
YEAs-Messrs. Baldwin, Bell, Benton, Bradbury,
Bright, Cass, Chase, Cooper, Davis of Massachu-
ses, Dickinson, Dodge of Iowa Dodge of Wisconsin,
Douglas, Ewing Felch, Green, Hale, Hamlin, Hous-
ton, Miller, Norris, Phelps, Seward, Shields, Smith,
Spruance, Sturgeon, Underwood, Upham, Wales,
Walker, Whitcomb and Winthrop -33.
NAYs-Messrs. A;chison, BarnwelI, Berrien, But
Ter. Clemens, Davis of Mississippi, Dawson, Downs,
Foote Hunter, King Mason, Morton, Pratt Rusk,
Sebastian, Soule, Turney and Yulee-19.
Erery solitary UOLe in The negative from the South or
saUe States. This bill was passed in the Senate 18th
August, 1850. See official proceedings in the
WashingtOn Union, August 18th 165O.) On the
9TH September, 1850, (see same paper of the 9Th
September 1s5O) the California Bill passed the House
with fy-sirsvotes against all from the South, iucu-
ding the entire delegation from Alabama. There
but t,vensir votes from the sAaUe States for the
bill, viz five from Maryland, from Virginia. four
from Missouri, seven from Kentucky, and from
Tennessee-so that it will be that there ,Uus MT
one vote from a Southern State for the bill.
Now for the bill aboishing the slave trade in the
District Of Columba it passed the Senate 18th Sep
TENDER, 1850 (see Washington Union, 18th Septem-
Der, 1850 by the following vote:
YEAs-Messrs. Baldwin, Benton, Bright, Cass,
Chase, Clark, Clay, Cooper, Davis, Mass, Dayton,
Dickinson, Dodge, of Wisconsin, Dodge, of Iowa,
Douglas, Ewing, Felch, Fremont, Greene, Gwin,
Hale, Hamilton, Houston, Jones, Norris, Seward,
Shields, Spruance, Sturgeon, Underwood, Wales,
Walker, Whitcomb and Wnthrop-33.
NAYs-Atchison, Badger, Barnwell, Bell, Berren,
Butler, Davis, of Mississippi, Dawson, Downs,
Hunter, King, Mangum, Mason, Morton, Pratt, Sc
bastian, Soue, Turney and Yuee-l9.
Every solitary vote in the negative from the South
slave States. In the House the bill passed by
of 1874 to 47-every vote in the negative was
from the South; the whole Alabama delegation
with the exception of Mr.. Hilliard, who lodged it
voting in the Negative. Of the 1874 in the affirmative
all were from the North except some dozen or so.
We have not space command to give more extern
ded analysis of the vote, but will do so hereafter
The above, far as it goes, may be relied on as en-
tirely accurate, being compiled from the official pro-
ceedings of Congress-.
Thus it will be that far from the South ap-
proving these measures, that it was almost urani-
nous against them in Congress. Let Mr.. Clemens
be confronted with this record wherever he goes.
