vas defeated in The House Of Rspresen.
tasivss, March 81. In order to let onr
Rssders see the way it was done, We give
the following report of tha, days pro-
essdinss:
Houss-Ahsr some impor,an. business
Sas disposed Of,
Mr.. Richardson moved that the House
90 into Committee Of the Whole on the
state Of the Union, with the design of
reaching the Nebraska bill, which mo'ion
wss lost-yeas SO. nays los.
Tho House then proceeded 10 take up
ths business on the Speakers table, and
after dispOsing Of several small bills,
reached the Nebraska and Kansas bill,
which was read amid much excitement.
Me-. Richardson moved TO refer it 10
The Committee on Territories.
Ar. Cutting moved 10 refer il to the
Committee Of the Whole. which motion
was opposed by the friends of the bill, as
an effort to bury j. beneath the mass of
business already before the COMMITTEE.
Mr.. Cutting called for the previous
quetden, on the motion to refer the bill
70 the. Committee of the Whole. The
call wss sustained, and the bill was re.
fsrred to he Committee Of the Whole
yeas Ito, nays 95.
The opponents of the bill manifested
great joy, and the friend, Of the measure
g'tas disappointment a. The result. The
bill 10 thus placed No. so on the calenda,
Of the Committee Of the Whole. The
similar bill introduced in the House is
No. 81 on the same calendar, and al! 9th.
o. bills preceding these must be either
laid aside seriasim, or otherwise disposed
Of, before either of the Nebraska bills
can be reached. except majority deter.
mine otherwise. Neither of the bills can
Be reached before he middle of tho next
session. Twenty six northern members
voted tor the bill, while seven Southern
nsmbers had the mauliness to vote agains,
It. Fourteen Northern and fifteen South
srn members had not the courage to "face
tho music" and lodged the question
among whom was Gen. Lindsey, the
Representative from this district We
hsps tho General may be able to give good
and sufficient reasons for his absence. bu,
Il strikes US that he should have been al
his post at that time.
Take il oil in oil, wa think the defea
Of this bill "glory enough for one day."
It isa severe rsbuke to the political rene.
gadss, who, to make capital, raised Il
question, which. more than once, has
threatened the s1istsnce Of the Union-s
rsbukA. too, which they feel. 1t shows
that the North has sufficient firmness Ief
10 resist the unjust demands Of the South
and that the day Of succumbing ,amel,
TO the slave interest, has gone by. !
shows land that's wha, makes US feel lik,
ahfowisg up our ha0 that the masses
ne Feopfe-are getting too Independent
to support measure which they know t,
be ~rong,merely because it was originate,
aAna advocated by the leaders Of their par
y, and thai party influence is weIl-nigI
Sane. In the late struggle i, was use,
everywhere, bu. to no purpose. Th,
people laughed at their former leaders
--they a+ask the matter into their ow
hands. aad the result is the defeat of tn
Nebraska bill. Hereafter when Par,
