and refer the Lecompton Constitution to
vote of the people. In the event of its
rejection by them, a convention to be call
ed to form new Constitution. 1t also
allows one member of the house of Rep
resentatives until the next Federal census.
Mr.. Montgomery said he had no re-
marks 10 make-the substitute was Its
best interpreter. He had furnished copies
to some members, and was ready to supply
the press.
Mr.. Quitman, of Miss, offered substi-
tute which is the same as the Senate bill
with the omission of the declaratory clause
that the people shall have the right at all
times 10 alter or amend the Constitution
in such manner as they think proper, DC.
Mr.. Humphrey Marshall, wished to
amend the original Senate bill by striking
out the same clause which was proposed to
be admitted in Mr.. Quitman's substitute.
Mr.. Stephens refused TO yield the floor
for that purpose, and demanded tie previ-
GUS question.
Mr.. Marshall wanted Mr.. Stephens re-
fusal to be borne in mind and entered on
the record.
The question was taken on the adoption
of Mr.. Quitman's substitute, which was
negatived-yeas 72, nays l6O.
Mr.. Montgomery's substitute was then
adopted-yeas 12O nays ll2. The an
nouncement of the result was greeted with
applause from the gentleman's gallery.
MIR. Keitt moved that it be cleared, and
insisted upon the enforcement of the rule.
Much confusion ensued.
A member-Except the ladies'.
Another-Certainly.
The House Immediately adjourned.

The vote on the passage of the bill as
amended by Mr.. Montgomery's substitute,
is precisely similar to the list above.
The Democrats voting with the Repub-
licans were McKibben, of California; Nor
riss, Harris, Shaw, Smith and Marshall, of
Illinois; English, Foley and Davis, of In
dianan; Adrian, of New Jersey; Haskins
and Clark, of New York; Owen, Hickman,
Chapman, and Montgomery of Pa, and
Pendleton, Groesback, Hall, Cox and Law
renee, of Ohio.
The Americans were Underwood and
Marshal of Kentucky; Ricard, Harris, and
Davis of Maryland; and Gilmer of North
Carolina.
The Ohio members who misrepresented
their constituents, and went for the Le-
compton fraud, and who viii never have
another opportunity to misrepresent them,
were MILLER, of the Chillicothe District,
and BURNS, of the Holmes and Coshoc-
ton District
The slavery power was prepared for the
blow, for Mr.. Stephens, the bell-wether of
the Lecompton forces, Immediately on the
question coming up in the House opened
the door, unasked, for the introduction of
of the Crittenden substitute by MIR. Mont
and when the last faye" knocked
the life out of the original Lecompton bill,
the substituted one was sent forthwith 10
the Senate. So has it ever been when the
North has stood firm and insisted upon
their rights. The South yields like sub
dued school boy, who pouts and kicks until
the switch falls when he blubbers and begs
to be let of.
