.,ysIs OF THE HOUSE VOTES on
THE SLAVERY RESOLUTIONS.
~, co,re.,oudence Of The N. Y. Tribune

WASHINGTON, Sdturddy, JAN 20, lcoo
Ar Dunns carefully prepared resolutions rela-
,fre 10 Slavery and the Nebraska bill, which he
announced yesterday and moved to-day, had mani
sssty two objects--frst TO exhibit to the country
himself and his associate boilers as firm and true
aati-Nebraska men; secondly, to show decided
suti-Nebraska majority in the House. and there
~ IN establish the inference that the obstinate
p nerence of the great mass Of the anti-Nebraska
men to Mr. Banks as candidate for Speaker alone
prevents the organization of the House. How
we'll he has succeeded, let others Judge. Here are
his resolves and the votes thereon:
'ResOlred, That regarding the political complexion
the present House of Representatives indicating
= und0ubted sentiment OF a large majority of the
people of the United States against the act Of the last
l0ngress repeating the restrictions against Slavery in
the Territories Of Kansas and Nebraska imposed by
re Compromise of 1920, no man ought to be chosen
; eaker of this body who does not fully and heartily
karmoDize with that sentiment, who will hesitate to
exert himself earnestly for the restoration of that re-
s lotion, in terms or in substance"

IAN Nebraska Democrats Southern Americans
but these printed in Ialcs understand all these to be
Northern, "twelnh section" X. Ms except Wheeler
and Williams Of our State who will be good enough to
class themselves-It will be noted that Messrs. Bar
clay of Pa, T.J. d. Fuller of Me- and Wells Of
Wise, of whom the two latter opposed the Nebraska
bill in the last Congress- and all were understood to be
opposed TO it when elected to this, voted No.
2. Resolped, That said restriction ought to be re-
stored as an act of justice to all the people of the
United States, proper vindicaton OF the WISDOM
patriotism and pghted honor of the great statesmen
who imposed it, and a necessary and certain means
of reyving that concord and harmony among the
States of the American Union which are essential to
the welfare of our people and the perpeuty OF our
institutions.
YEAS. 1Of-ISame as above, except that Messrs.
of deplin IN
being opposed to all Slavery compromises whatever
and not believing that the reesablishment of the Mis-
souri, Restriction would necessarily and certainly sup
press all agitation respecting Slavery Mr. Robbins Of
N. j. also failed to vote. In their stead, Messrs Ha-
rem, Millrard and Wheeler voted Ay.l
NAYS, fOO-[Sam above, except Haren, MI
,ard and Wheeler who voted Az, while II. Winter
Darts Of Md Is. AM, who did not vote on No. l,
now voted MOI
3. Reso,ped, That useless and factious agitation of
the Slavery question in out of Congress, Is unwise
unjust TO a portion of the American people, ana, 10
some extent njuriousto every section OF our country
and therefore should not be cOuntenanced; out until
the Missouri restriction OF 1920 shall have Deen re-
stored in fact in substance, to the SAID Territories OF
Kansas and Nebraska, fully and comPtetefy, 10 tnat
extent and for that purpose, it is our solemn duty 70
the past the present and the future steadily and hrmy
to persist in our efforts.
YEAS 100. Same the last, except that Messrs.
Bliss, Wade and watson OF Onlo now Noteu A!, "ho
Messrs. Hopen, MiuVard and Wheeler voted No. Mr..
Robbins of n j. now voted Ay. Mr.. Knight of Pa.

lost by one majority; No. carried by one; No. 3
lost by three.
Mr.. II. NJ. FULLER of Pa. now moved the fol-
lowing:
p.soJre5 That any agitation of the question Of
Slavery in or out of Congress is unwise, unjust to
nortio, of the American people, injurious to every
lection of our country and therefore should not be
cOuntenanced
YrAs iOi.-Same as the Nays last above, except
Tint Knieht of Pa now voted No, while Messrs Her
bert of CAL and S. A. Smith of Tenn. DEM did not
vote this time, while Mr.. d. b. Wright of Mass.
meml who was silent before, now voted Ay. Messrs.
More Of Ind and Richie of Pa. did not vote. NAYS

Mr.. MEACHAM of VT. now offered the following,
ON which he obtained the Previous Question;
Pesolred That, in the opinion of this House. the
repeal of the Missouri Compromise of 1920, prohibiting
Slavery north of 800 so, was an example OF useless
and factOus agitation Of the Slavery question: un-
{" wise and unjust TO the American people,"
