fr. JAcKsoN's resolution was as follows

RESOLVED, That we recognize the binding
efficacy of the compromises of the Constitution
and believe it to be the intention of the people
generally, as we hereby declare it to be ours in.
dividually, to abide such compromises, and to
sustain the laws necessary to carry them out
the provision for the delivery of fugitive slaves
and the act of the last Congress for that pur-
pose included--and that we deprecale all
further agitation of questions growing out OF that
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.. HUMANS amendment
aResolped, That the series Of acts passed
during the first session of the Thirty First Con
gress, known as the compromise,aar regarded
n final adjustment and permanent settlement
of the questions therein embraced, and should
be maintained and executed as such"
The question was taken upon the adoption

So the second branch Of the proposition was
adopted.
Il will thus be seen that only AZ votes were
obtained from all the North, In favor Of Mr..
JicKsoS's resolution and only AZ in favor Of
Mr.. HnLyER's, although there are l4l North
ern members; so that only one-third exactly
Of the Northern delegation has acquiesced in
IN The Compromise measures. It's 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 az for it, The absence of one
third Of the Northern delegation from the vote
can only be accounted for by sickness. Il was
detarrn;nad ON Saturday that th;s ~, -,
taken on Monday, and forthwith coughs, colds,
rheumatism, and pneumonia broke out and ragged
over the town. II this is the effect of an at.
tempt 70 put down agitation, we shall be de-
lighted 70 learn that we are at last over II.
