Mr.. JAcKsoN's resolution was as follows:

Mr.. JAcKsoN's resolution was as follows;
Resolved, That we recognize the bndin
efficacy of the compromises of the Constitution
and believe it to be the intention of the peOpl
generally, as we hereby declare it to be ours in
diyidually, to abide such compromises, and t.
sustain the laws necessary to carry them out
the provision for the delivery of fugitive slave.
and the act Of the last Congress for that pur
pose included-and that we deprecale all
further agitation of questions growing out Of thai
provision, of the questions embraced in the acts
of the last Congress known as the compromise
and of the questions generally connected with
the institution of slavery, as unnecessary, USE
less, and dangerous"
And this is Mr.. HLLYERs amendment:
aResolred, That the series of acts passed
during the first session of the Thirty. First Con
gress, known as the compromise, are regarded
as final adjustment and permanent settlement
of the questions therein embraced, and should
be maintained and executed as such"

So the second branch of the proposition was |
adopted.
1t will thus be seen that only AZ votes wera
obtained from all the North, in favor Of M,
JAcKsoN's resolution, and only AZ in favor of
Mr.. HILLYERs, although there are l4l North.
ern members; 80 that only one-third exactly
of the Northern delegation has acquiesced in
in the Compromise measures. 1t is not the less
remarkable that precisely as many Northern
members were absent, or not voting, as voted
in the affirmative on this occasion. and that pre-
cisely as many Northern members voted against
the Compromise as for it. The absence of one
third of the Northern delegation from the vote
can only be accounted for by sickness. 1t was
determined on Saturday that this vote would be
taken on Monday, and forthwith coughs, colds,
rheumatism, and pneumonia broke out and ragged
over the town. If this is the effect of an at
tempt to put down agitation, we shall be de-
lighted to learn that we are at last over it.
