VOTE ON THE NEBRASKA BILL.

The reference OF the Nebraska Bill 10 the
Committee OF tho Whole in the House OF
Representatives, is generally regarded a,
Washington as defeating the bill, so FAR as
the presen, session Of Congress is con-
cerued. II places the bill so far off on
the Calendar that il will not be probably
reached BY the usual time Of adiourning.
The friends Of the bill, in debate Oil the
motion TO commit declared tina, the pur-
pose Of tbs motion was 10 kill the bill, and
lis friends voted against. while lis enemies
voted in It's favor. II will sc seen that the
infamy OF sustaining the bill can now be
applied 10 the representative 10 Congress
from this district. The value OF the thirty
pieces Of silver which he may receive for
his ueachery 10 freedom, and for disregard.
ing The sentiment Of his constituents,
will probably be understood very soon AFTER
his congressional career closes. We are
thankful tina, bu, one man in Maine was
found willing 10 vote for the bill.
we give below an analysis Of the vote,
which we copy from the N. Y. Tribune.
