We beg every one Of our readers to examine
closely, the following analysis of the vote in the
House of Representatives on the Homestead
Bill. When you have read it, show it TO your
nsighbors. File it away for future reference.
Teach them the moral it contains; and thus
prepare them to mingls integently in the great
contest which is to settle the character of this
continent, and finally of the world, for free
dom.
A bill like that which has just passed, was in
Er0duced by Mr.. Grow in the last Congress, but
vas not definitely acted upon. The present bill
vas introduced by him early last season, and
referred to the Committee on Agriculture
Owing TO the time absorbed by Lecompton,
aothng vas done in regard to in, Mr.. Kelsey,
rom the Committee on Agriculture. now re-
ported the bill back to the House, and it was
referred to the Committee of the Whole. Tc-
lay the vote by which il was 50 referred was
econsidered. This brought il directly before
he House. Grow and its active friends deci. .
led that they would put 1t upon its final pas
age. On his demanding the previous question :,
70 its third reading, q tumult arose, and va
iety of efforts were made to coax, and wheede {
nd drive Grow to yield the floor, 60 as to get 1
, amendments and dilatory motions. But he
ept q steady hand upon the tiller, determined
hat the measure should ride out the storm in
Atety If possible. Before the demand for the ,
revious question was seconded, Hughes (who
always Oh the wing in fou. weather,) moved
, lay the bill on the BILE. The Yeas and NAYS {

usage. Ere it Was seconded, Humphrey Mar.
