Republicans 10 Roman ptnocfr' In haif', Americans In
twill be seen that all the affirmative votes are
Republican; also th,t sixteen Republicans voted
No as tbev had su undOubttd right TO do, and
that fifteen Republicans skulked the vote which ia
about the rneauest and mot snesking thing of
which representative can be guilty.
It's proper To say that Mr.. HOLMES of COrt-
land voted for the bill Oh the call, bat seeing that
il was lost for the want Of the requisite number Of
votes (tWotbirds of all the members elected to the
House). he changed his vote ~ the negative 10
order that he might be able to move reconsldera-
ton. which be subsequently did. The great
American party in the Assembly to man either
voted spsiust the bill or did not vote at all Mr..
LAW asked 10 be excused because he was not IN
bis place v hen the question was stated. Ine gen
tleuan from Delaware went out just before the
CLERK bad finished reading the bill, no doubt 10
oreer that be might have an excuse for Dot voting
The defeat of the Personal Liberty bill before
the Massachusetts Legislature, had his effect, very
likely on some of OuI weak-oacked Republicans,
aud il is quite likely that few were unssoldaoly
absent v no would have voted for the bill mad they
been present.
Mr. OPpyKE asked to be excused from voting
and 10 exploiting the reason therefor, stated that
he was in favor of the objects OF the bill, but could
not vote for it, as be believed 1t ~ be unconstltu
tionsl in some Of its provisions. Gen. DURfEA
stated substantially the same thing, IN also asking
to be excused from voting. don't kno" exactly
what these sentlemeI's notions Of the Constitution
may be; but if they take the late decisions OF the
Supreme Court as their guide in such mat
them TO say that they are IN favor OF
the objects Of this b or in favor of any bill When
shall give fugitive fair opportunity 10 establish
the fact that be belongs 10 himself instead Ui some
white vapabond on the other side of Mason and
Dixon's line. The only hopeful feature OF tins
vote in favor of freedom, i. that II Is larger thsn
the one cast al the last previous trial To pass sim
liar act. which argues that it is possible that New
York NAV yet become Free State.
Mr.. livEx, from the Senate Finance Commit
tee TO whom was referred the late communication
from The Commissioners of the Canal Fund, asking
for t7X to meet the interest on the Canal Deof,
reported adversely to-day. So, should the Senate
sustain this report as they are likely to do, and
the Commissioners of the Canal Fund stand by
their Lotions of duty in the matter the july inter
est on the new Canal Debt will not be paid.
The Select Committee, to whom was referred
the Pro Rata Railway Freight oil, have had sew.
eTal meetings and will PROBABLY report the last OF
the present week. The Standing Committee on
Railroads in the House, after patleLt examination
of the subject reported unanimously against the
bill. with which report the House disagreed and
sent the subject to Select Committee, consisting
of Messrs. II. A. Lyon, banny, Aiery
Low and Opdyke. The discussion before TINS
Committee has served to develop the magnitude
of the question, ard the many difficulties
that must attend any attempt to frame any bill that
does not embrace all the carrying interests. Ii IS
understood that apparent ia the impractc,bility
of the bill offered that il h been withdrawn by It's
friends for which another bill will be substituted
Ii is doubtful however, whether majority OF the
Select Committee will conclude TO report any bill
IL ia more likely that majority will conclude that
the session is too far advanced TO undertake legsa
ton on a question of so much Importance, and sur
rounded with many practical difficulties.
