The passage Of this important Territorial bill
By the U. S. Senate on the 4th inst, has already
been proclaimed. It may be of interest how
ever, to give statement Of the entire vote OF
the Senate.
For the purpose of presenting it clearly, we
make the following analysis, together with the
comments of the appeal:

Nine Senators were not present when the
vote was taken. 1t Is understood that they
would have voted as follows:
FOR THE BILL. FOR THE BILL.
Democrats. Wings.
Bright, Ind. Clay ton, Del.
Wright, N. J. Pearce, Md.
Mallory, Fla. Toombs, Ga.
AGAINST THE BILL.
Everett, Mass.
Cooper, Penn.
AlIo,, 6ounocraf Of r hoda leland xvould
have recorded his vote in opposition to the bill,
as he and his colleague, Gen. James. were in
structed SO to do by the legislature of that
State.
Thus it will be seen that if there had been a
full attendance of the present senators, the vote
would have 43 in favor of the bill, and Ia
against It.
There was tie between the Northern and
Southern democrats-that is to say, the bill was
sustained by Ia democratic senators from the
North, and IA democrats from the South.
Every whig senator from the South, save Mr..
Bell, supported the bill, and not single whig
Senator from the North Mason & Dixon's
line completely snnders the whig party!
These figures present food foor grave reAec-
tion.
The following is the clause of the bill which
met with so much opposition by the abolition
lists:
"That the Constitution and all laws of the
United States which are not locally inapplica.
bic, shall have the same force and effect within
the said Territory of Nebraska as elsewhere
within the United States, except the 9Th section
of the act preparatory to the admission of Mis-
souri, into the Union, approved March 6, 1920 !;
which being inconsistent with the principle Of
non-intervention by Congress with slavery in
the States and Territories, as recognized by the
legislation of 1850, commonly called the com
promise measures is hereby declared to be in
operative and void 1t being the true intent and
meaning of this act not to legiszate slauery, into
a,ly Territory or State, nor to erclude ii there
from, bat to leare the people thereof perfectly
free to form and regulate their domestic inSti-
tutions an their oacn acay, subject only to the
Constitution Of the United States. Provided,
that nothing contained in this act shall be con-
strued to revive or put in force any law or reg
ulation which may have existed prior to the act
of the 9Th March, 1890, either protecting, es-
