Vote on MIR. Ethcridge,s Resolution.


Vote ON Mr.. Ethcridge's Resolution.
In giving the ayes and nays on Mr. Ether
idge's resolution, we will re-state it to our
readeSs. 1t reads as follows:
Resol0ed, That this House regard all
suggestions or propositions of every kind,
by whomsoever made, for q revival of the
slave trade, as shocking to the moral senti-
ments of the enlightened portion of man
kind; or any act on the part of Congress
legalizing or conniving at the legalizing of
that horrid and inhuman traffic, would just
ly subject the United States to the reproach
and execration of all civilized and Christian
people throughout the world.
The introduction of this resolution into
the House by Mr.. Etheridge, who was for
merly Whig but reelected on the Ameri-
can ticket, caused about as much squirming
as the placing of pan of freshly skinned
eels over brisk fire might be supposed to
do. The Democrats wriggled and twisted
every way to get rid oft, but it would not do.
A motion was made by Mr.. Mcqueen, of
S. c., to lay the resolution on the table, and
lost II to 1877.

Almost without exception, the Fillmore
men voted with the Republicans. Put il
down in the records of Egyptian DemOcra
icy, that FIFTY-sEvEN of the Buchaniers o.
the present Congress, who are afraid to say
that the revival of the American Slave
trade would shock the moral sentiment o
the country !aore than one halfthe Bucdan
an party IN the House voted against Eth
erige's resolution! Read it again Demo
Gratis of the North, and say if you are will
ing to continue your connection with mel
who are so callous to all moral sentimen
where slavery is concerned.
Mr.. Orr of South Carolina, intoduced
resolution simply affirming that Il
is inexpedient, unwise and contrary t.
the settled policy of the United States tc
repeal the laws prohibiting the African
slave trade" This resolution was adopted
by a vote of 1873 yeas, to nays7. The nay.
were Barksdale, Bennett and Wright of Mis-
sissippi; Brooks and Keitt of South Carroll
na; and Shorter and Walker of Alabams
all Buchaniers, and all leading men il
their party in their respective States.
The resolution it will be seen at once
does not commit those voting for it agains
the re-opening of the traffic, except on the
ground of present inexpediency, and leave:
them at liberty to advocate it whenever
they shall think it expedient to incur thC
danger of accession to the Republican rank
which would now make such a move on thc
party of the Democracy suicidal.-Leader.
