The Final Proceedings i'm the Senate
ON the Nebraska Bill.
We copy today. from the Globe. the record of
the proceedings in the Senate. Thursday and Fri
day. on the Nebraska Bill. Il was ordered to be
engrossed. Thursday night. Friday it was again
taken up, and the debate was continued upon it
till Saturday morning. when it was finally passed.
We were mistaken, as the record shows, in re-
lation to the veto prerogave of the Governor, and
the reyisionary power of Congress-.
It will excite some surprise. that throughout the
proceedings last Thursday, when it was clearly
understood that the votes on the amendments to
the Bill, and on its engrossment, would be consid-
cred test votes, the largest number of Senators
voting at one time did not exceed forty-six. The
average vote was about forty y-or, say. two thirds
of the Senate. Atsss'9
The delinquency was chiefly on the part of the
North. Twenty or nty-three of the thi:ty
Southern Senators were present at the time, vo-
ting in solid phalanx against every amendment cal
cuIated to lberaze the Bill and against all opposi-
ton to it; the largest number at any time vo-
ting of the thirty four free State Senators, was
%. s.ss.e .se ~ 9-s=
The Southern delegation never WINS divided
On every test question its vote was unit: at no
time did single Southern Senator yate with the
North. On the other hand, the Northern dalega-
ton uniformly divided; twelve free State Ssp-
ators voting against the engrossment. ten for it,
The Bill, being Southern measure was carried
by Southern votes. .5 s4s.
OF the twelve negative votes, NIL from the North,
six were wings. four administration Democrats,
two, Independent Democrats: the ten affirmht We
votes from the North were oil Administration
Democrats. The Southern delegation acted with
out distinction of party, Wings and Democrats. SO
called working in support of ths Bill; some Of the
Whigss indeed, displaying extraordinary zeal in
behalf of this administration measure.
Cooper of Pennsylvania, Allen of r Island. and
Everett of Massachusetts. either had paired off or
were absent. Had they and Mr.. Phelps of YER
mont, whose right TO seat is ct determined,
voted. the negative vote on the engrossment would
have been sixteen, representing tie entire portion
of the delegation from the free States against the
Bill. ....-.z
Houston, Cass and Clayt n, who spoke in diff
ferent ways against the bill, opposed all amend
ments intended TO make it less obnoxious to the
people of the North, and on the question of en-
the next day that had he been present he would
have voted for it. Of course. He is accomplish
ed in the art dfspeakipg one way and voting an
other. He contents himself Ike Joseph Surface,
with '.noble sentiments."
Mr.. Chase conducted the opposition TO the bill
with ability and method, and compelled its sup
porters to reveal their true position relation. FIRST
to the right of the territorial Legislature to exclude
Slavery secondly. to the right of self government
by the people of q territory. They take the neg
alive on both aueetions-that is. thew eny by their
votes the right ef people OF territory to govern
themselves, and the right Of the people, through q
Territorial Legislature to exclude Slavery.
