TUESDAY MORNING. MAY SC. 1854,

the Clayton Amendment. In another COL
unn may be found the proceedings of Con-
gtess relating to its passage. The vote was
taken, as will be seen BY those proceedings,
on Monday xigla,o rather Tuesday morning;
for it was between / and 2 o'clock in the
morning before the House adjourned
After the passage of the bill, Mr.. Rich
afQson, Douglass understrapper, moved a
( reconsideration Of the vote by which the
bin was passed, and then moved to lay that
motion on the table. This means some
thing; it is difficult to say precisely what.
{ The Pacific Railroad bill not being disposed
of, it1isy he that ii was intended to give
M. Cutting) and others, who traded their
votes on the Nebraska bill for Southern
votes IN favor Of the Pacific Railroad bill,
an opportunity to kill the former yet, if the
E Eoutherners failed to redeem their pledges.
\ or this, however, we know nothing.

We rejoice to find our Representative,
Gen. Ritchie, on the right side. He neither
lodged, nor tried to evade the question, but,
from first to last, he manfully stood by the
opponents of the iniquitous bill, and, when
the final vote was taken, recorded his name
in the negative. Although opposed to us
on almost every Other. political question, we
could cheerfully vote for his reelection. He
\ has proved himself an honest man--onc
who cannot be bought by Presidential
bribes. or frightened by the threats of South
ern bullies. We would rather trust such 6
man, at the present crisis, than one, ever
Of our own party, who had never beer
tested. We speak now, only for ourself
Others may not agree with us, but, for oul
own part, we hope that, while no quarter il
given to the four traitors, every Democra
from Ohio who voted against the Nebrask'
bill may be reelected. - ~.
Eight Representatives from Slave State
voted against the bill six Wings and tw
Democrats.
\ On Friday last, we understand, the Sen
ate agreed to the House amendment, by
vote of 35 to 13. The bill, therefore, onl,
needs the signature of the President to be
come a law.
The question now arises, What is tn
duty of the North?. How is the question +
be met, and what is to be our future action
For one, we are ready to make any reason
able sacrifice Of opinion and Of feeling, 70
the purpose of uniting and concentrating
the entire anti-Nebraska sentiment Of tn
I North into one harmonious party, for til
y purpose Of teaching slavery propagandist
that there is North as well as South
that the North has her rights as well as tn
South, and that she has yet the power t
maintain those rights. The period has al
: rived when the great battle between free
dom and slavery must be fought 1t ha
been forced upon us prematurely by tn
men Of the South, aided by the Arnolds, til
Judas Iscariots, the Dopglasses of til
North. Let us buckle on our armor, an
organize for the fight. -Henceforth, let n
more compromises be made with slavery
] Let Repeal be our motto. eH.
