By comparing the affirmative vote upon this
with the affirmative vote upon the second Of
Mr.. Dunn's resolutions, our readers will detect
the few scattering members who, while they
believe the repeal of the Missouri compro-
mise " an example for useless and factious
agitation" &C., are still opposed to its resto
ration.
Taking the vote upon the second resolution
on the Missouri question as the exact test of
the sentiment Of the House, the body stands
divided

Yet with this majority of ten, in full house
in favor of the restoration of the Missouri line
the abolition fusionists have been vainly strug-
Cling, intriguing, plotting and pipe-laying
promising and threatening, for two months, for
bare majority of one for Mr.. Banks upon the
Seward platform Of sectional party--a sec
tional agitation and campaign for the Presi-
dency--at the hazard of the disruption OF the
Union.
The meaning and substance of the foregoing
votes may be briefly summed up. Grant that
there is . lean majority of the House in favor
of the abstraction of the restoration of the
Missouri compromise, if you reduce it TO Sew
ards plan of q disunion agitation, there Il q
majority against him. We feel confident. too.
that when the experiment shall come 30 be
tried in the House, of the repeal of the Kansas
Nebraska bill, it will fall through-that it
will be decisively rejected by the House, 10
some decisive shape or other. To-day, per.
haps, we may get the plurality rule and Mr..
Banks for Speaker. Perhaps.
