The Result OF the Compromise Votes che House
Yesterday.
Since the foregoing article was in type we have wit
messed the proceedings of the House Colonel Jackson
resolution. The motion for the previous question was lost
by few vo,esa result entirely in accord with the
which the two organs of the administration coun
tenanced. But, without going into all the details this
subject, it is sufficient TO say that the two PROPOSE
lions testing the of the House, assertion is
entirely susained-that il is the democratic portion of
the House which alone be trusted to carry out the
provisions of the Compromise. On Colonel Jackson's
resolution the votes stood lOl yeas against Ga nays77
democrats being among the yeas. On the amend
ment OF Mr.. Hillyer, OF Georgia, which was almost
word for word the resolution offered by Colonel
Polk at the democratic prior to the organization
of the House, the yeas were 100 against o5 nays
there being 6s democrats among the yeas
1t was the apprehension that such would be the state
of facts brought out by direct vote which has called
forth such pointed articles from the two organs of the
administration, both evidently written with design TO
rally all the force that could be induced 10 evade the
question. But tactics could succeed in suppressing
the fact that is is the wing party which in the next
presidential election to reopen the agitation of the slavery
question by not divorcing itself from such leaders as
Messrs. Seward and Johnston. This fact becomes the
more striking when we consider that those amongst the
democrats OF the South who refused 10 concur in
the resolution OF Messrs. Jackson and Hiyer do so on
grounds which do not at all indicate wish TO dis
turb the Compromise. As evidence of the justice of
this remark need only advert 10 the proceedings of the
southern rights party of Georgia, when assembled at
Medgevle during the last session of the legislature Of
that State On that occasion the following resolutions
were adopted
