~ the motion was not agreed TO.
I twill b. seen that Mr. Bradbury Of ihi,
Snt.. the President OF the Convention that
nominated Smart. and which Smart was
then addressing. voted With Mt. llamlin
as,in,. taking up. IL will be seen, also,
that Senator Shields, the colleague and fol-
lower Of Douglas, threatened to consume
the whole remainder Of the session in dis.
eu.,ins the bill, u It should be taken up;
tho. renderin. vote upon It impossible.
and flc,iou.ly hindering all the regular bus.
incss Of Congress twill finally DO seen
. that Smart confcss-s tia, Mr.. wa.hburn
did all he could Tor tho bill in the IIous,.
and that therefore no accusation, either
f-sn,d or real, ice against him. In view
Of these facts. We ask II the dsfea, Of tho
bill, and the refusal to give Maine her share
. Of th. land, doe, not lIe at The door OF
STEPHEN 4. DOUGLAS, before all other
men? Tho vote Of his colleague would have
secure! a favorable report, aud the adverse
r,por. was what killed tho bill. 30 much
for Suar''s hr't ef1rt to perV'rt the Record.
