En.e, or the comprom,.s Vote. In the House.

Eject o Compromise Votes the House.
The resolutions OF Messrs Jackson and Hillyer pre-
sened two distinct forms OF declared purpose TO main
tain the Compromise bar 10 further sectional agita
ton in Congress.
Most Of the northern democrats who voted for either
Of these resolutions voted for them both. But. by
inspection Of the tables Of given by on Wednes
day. II will be that OF the eighty -four northern dem
ocrats Of the House. only twenly--less than in
fom-were found recording their against the
maintenance of The Compromise in either OF the forms
in which that proposition was presented. On Mr.. Jack.
sons resouion twenty five northern democrats alb
sent on failed to vote Distribute the votes OF these
uouhern democratic absenees in the proportion of the
rxorded northern democratic vote. and we shall have
about ird, OF the entire northern democratic delega
ton in favor Of declaration by Congress 10 maintain the
Compromise.
The southern democratic delegation in the House is
nty-pen members. OF these. thirty-nne voted for
Of the two resolutions, while only ten-hat is, to
four-voied against both the resolutions, leaving ten
southern democrats-iha s one sirfh of the southern
democratic delegaonwbo were absen, or failed TO vote
on either OF the resolutions Distribute the votes OF
these ten sbeentees in the proportion OF the recorded
southern democratic vote and have Just about
,rh Of the southern democratic delegation opposed TO
congressional declaration for the maintenance Of the
Compromise.
According to this calculation, II appears that the
tire democratic party in the House, consisting Of
hundred and forty-one members. suslans the Compro-
mise by vote OF more than tsoo TO one.
The northern wings Of the House sixty members.
OF hese only seven voted for both the resolutions and
onlytsn voted for either OF them But Of these fen,
four had previously voted 10 lay both the resolutions
the table Il would appear therefore, that out OF the
arty whixs Of the North only SIR were really in favor
OF declaration to sustain the Compromise any form.
This is very little better Than the northern whg vote Of
three in the last Congress in fsvsr OF the fugitive law
The southern whg members are hpiy.fieo. Suppose
them all (sxcept Mr. Cngman) to be in favor OF main.
tanning the Compromise and add 10 them the votes of
those northern wings who alone voted for one or the
other OF The two resolutions without previously voting to
lay both on the table, and shall have thirty. seven
for the total COMPROMISE whig force in The House.
