The objcetionahie vote Was one where; his

TO abolish slavery in the District Of Columbia
subject to popular rote upon the question. but
an examination Of the official journal shows that

.ces are as follows: On the 18th Of september,
the bill to suppress the Slave-trade in the Dis
trict Of Columbia, was pending, when Gov. Sew
ard TO show by his record that he preferred to
strike the institution out of existence altogether
in the District, moved to strike out the whole
bill from its enacting clause and insert the prop
osition above referred to. II was rejected as
it was expected it would be, the vote standing,

Maine, Truman Smith of Connecticut, and &.

obtaining what was attainable-the breaking up
of the slave pens and the slave auctions in the
national capital-and on the 18th of September
the bill passed, Fremont and Dayton voting with
all the Northern Senators in its tayor--Afchlson,
JEFF. Davis, Butler, and the rest Of the kidney,
in the negative. Fremont voted against anotf'-
er proposition for an absolute unconditional alb
clifton of Slavery in the District, which was ov-
erwhelmingly rejected, and the success OF which
was expected by no one. But during the PEN
deney of the bill SURPRISING the Dlstrlct slase
trade, several votes were taken when proved
plainly enough where the young Californians
heart was, and to which side of the Senate Cham
Der his principles of humanity led him. On the
18th of September, an amendment was pending
providing that if free person should entlce or
induce slave to run away, or. should haroor
any such, he should be immured in the District
Penitentiary Eve years. The vote wasa close.

Episcopal Church of the Epiphany, Mt the cor

ihither by an advertisement in the papers of Sa-

would discourse on the subject of ''Our Coun-
try's Troubles" The announcement created
more sensation than usual, from the fact that
| the Episcopal denomination, rs body, have
always discountenanccd the Introduction of such
topics into the pulpit as well as from the circum-
stance that the Rector, since his connection
with his parish, has generally preserved silence
on questions having the most remote allusion to
public affairs. t'F f-F .s- 'E'

The minister having selected an appropriate
text briefly gavellis reasons for introducing the
subject into the pulpit and then proceeded to
dcnounce, in an eloquent strain and straght-for-
ward manner, the outragcs in Kanfas and at
Washington, the aggressio is of the slave power
the miserable trucking of the North to the
South, the horrors of slave breeding, and con
cluded by urging his congregation to exercise
their rights as freemen at the ballot-box, in stay
ing the progress of the monster evil, and nvo-
king aid for the suffering emigrants in Kansas.
The sermon was listened to with brcathless at.
tention, and without interruption, until the
speaker spoke of Slave breeding, rearing imnor-
tai souls, (who were made for Heaven for bon

warden, rose from his pew, and, as one of the
original church wardens, entered his solemn
protest against the Dissertation of the place and

respectfully suggested to the gentleman whohad
intcrposed his objections, to point out the wrong
which he had committed in using the Sabbath
as the time, and an Episcopal pulpit as the place
for the utterance of anty-slavery sentiments.
Mr.. Tying suggested, too, that it would have
been as well to have waited until he had conclu-
ded his remarks before interposing any objection
to them. If he (Mr. r. was wrong, he was open
to correction, but he would, as a minister of
Jesus Christ, express his views of the great ex-
citing topic of the day Mr.. Tying was perfectly
calm throughout the unusual scene, and he ap-
peared to be entirely rnmoved during the deci-
ded sensation incident to the interruption Of DR..
Morris We should state that at the commence
