IOWA POLITICS, &C., SC.

BY the arrival of the Steamer Nominee Capt.
BLAKELY, Saturday night, We received files of
papers containing news of the highest interest,
which we lay before our readers this morning.
We Gull principally from the Galcna Aduer-
tiSer.
After struggle unequalled in intensity
since the discussion of the Missouri COmpro-
mise measures, in lS2O-2l, the repeal of that
compromise was effected in the House of Rep
resentativcs, by the passage of the Nebraska
Bill on Monday the 22d day of May. With
out stopping this morning to discuss the merits
of the measure, which has now doubtless be-
come law, we barely express a hope that it
may prove in its practical operation, all that
has been claimed for it by its supporters, as
means of alaying slavery agitation in Con-
gress, and of placing our Territorial system on
just and stable basis. The following are
given as the proceedings attending its passage:
On Monday, the I'D instant, the Nebraska
and Kansas Bill being before the house, Mr..
WAsHBURNE, of Maine, moved to lay it on the
table; which motion was negativcd, ayes 90,
nays 112. The question REQUIRED on scconding
the demand for the previous question, and mo-
ton was made to adjourn, and lost amid loud
cries of question.
Mr.. CAMPBELL appealed to Mr.. RICHARD
son to withdraw his motion till he could make
a suggestion. Mr.. RICHARDSON declined the
demand, for previous question was seconded,
and the same question ordered to be put, ayes
III nays "a.
Another motion at 8 o'clock to adjourn.
Failed. The question was taken on agree
ing to the report of the Committee striking out
the enacting clause and was ncgatived, ayes
81 nays III. At 8 1-2 o'clock Mr.. RICHARD
son moved his substitute for the bill being the
same as the Senate bill with the exception of
Mr.. CLAYToN's amendment, and moved (cries
of question: Mr.. DEAN moved for the reading
of the substitute. The reading occupied an
hour. Mr.. EDGERroN moved point of order,
as the substitute contains appropriations for
salaries of Governor, &C., must first be discus
sed in the committee of the whole. The main
question was ordered, put ayes ll6 nays 90
o'clock, p. NJ. Mr.. RICHARDSON'S substi-
tutc was then agreed to, ayes lis nays &c.
The question was stated to he engrossing for a
third reading. Mr.. WILSON moved to lay the
bill on the table, negativcd, ayes 100 nays IA.
At 10 o'clock, Mr.. MArrEsON moved an I'M
successful motion to adjourn; the bill was Or
dered to be engrOssed fer third reading, ayes
liz, nays 80. While this vote was being ta-
ken LORD ELGIN was holding reception in
the lobby, many members being introduced to
him. The bill was read a third time, and at
IL o'clock was passed by ayes ll3 nays loo
applause in galleries, accompanied by Kisses.
Mr.. RICHARDSON moved to reconsider the
vote by which the bill was passed and to lay
the motion on the table; agreed Mr. LETCII-
Err moved that when the House adjourn it adj
journ to Wednesday; Speaker decided motion
out of order; Speaker sustained, 80 to So
Mr.. Richardson's motion to reconsider and
lay that motion on the table, agreed and the
house adjourned to II o'clock.
The movement of Mr.. RICHARDSON, in mOv-
ing reconsideration of the vote by which the
bill passed, and then moving to lay that mo-
ton Oh the table, was a clincher on the bill for
this session, so far as the House is concerned,
as the last motion cannot be taken from the
table except by two-thirds vote. The effect
will be to force the Senate to an expungment
Of the "Clayton Clause and thus the Nc
braska Bill will be relieved of one of its most
Objectionable features.
