THE NEBRASKA QUESTION.
Of the So senators embraced in the above list,
26 marked voted for the Nebraska bill. To
which add Bayard Of Delaware, Yulee of Florida,
Iverson of Georgia, Bright of Indiana, Critten-
den of Kentucky, Adams of Mississippi, Geyer
of Missouri, Biggs and Reid of North Carolina,
Pugh Of Ohio, and Evans Of South Carolina, Gi,j
| all of whom are known to be favorable to the
Nebraska measure, and we have total of 81
| already elected who are in favor of it. Then
add Clayton, of Delaware, who, although he
voted against the BILL has since declared himself
opposed to its repeal, and we have 80 Nebras-
kaites already elected. Of the four vacancies,
one in Alabama and one in Missouri will almost
to certainty be filled with Nebraska men, max
ing total of 40, without including any chance
which there may be for Nebraska men in the re-
naming two vacancies-one in Indiana and one
in Pennsylvania In round numbers it may be
said that two-thirds of the new Senate will be in
favor OF the Nebraska measure, and still larger
number against its repeal. Among the latter,
we presume, may be included Bell, Of Tennessee,
and Houston, Of Texas
HOUSE OF REPREsENTArIyEs
The following is list of the representatives
thus far elected to the new Congress. Those in
italics are wings or abolitonists; those in Roman
are democrats or freesoiers; those with voted
at the last session of Congress against the Ne
braska bill, and those with in favor of it.
Such is the confused state of parties that il is
not easy, in some cases, to classify the members
politically; and some of them, we fancy, would
be puzzled to classify themselves:
