| By the votes Of decided majority Of the Rep
resentatiyes Of tho People, it has been officially
adjudged that Slavery, having melted and tena-
ciously upheld gigantic conspiracy for the de-
structon of our National existence, ought to
die the death Of the wicked, and that the Fed
eral Constitution should DO 50 amended Us
never to authorize or tolerate its revival In any
part of the Republic. The Constitutional
Amendment TO this effect originated in and
passed the Senate by an overwhelming major
ity; but the House yesterday failed to concur
a decided majority, but not the requisite two
thirds, voting in the affirmative. The check
thus encountered was caused solely by tho cleo
ton of majority Of the members in 1862 In
stead of 1868. Had they been chosen at the
last regular Election in each State respectively,
the result would have been affected as follows:
From Maine, Mr. l.. NJ. ID. Sweat votes to
uphold Slavery. He was chosen in September,
1862, by I27 majority. Last September, his Dis
trict went against him by over !, 900 majority.
From Nep-Hampshir, Daniel Marcy was
chosen by the Ist District in March, 1853, by 30
majority in "a, O3S votes. He is a Copperhead
of the South Carolina variety. Last Spring, his
district went against him by over 1900 ma
jority; but he votes on for Slavery.
From Connecticut, James +. English votes to
uphold Slavery, ~ he was chosen TO do. lie
had / ,O3O majority in April, 1863; but his Dis
trict gave 3i6 majority against his party last
April.
From Nes- York, Messrs. Moses +. Odell,
Elijah Ward. Homer A. Nelson. John A. Girls
void, and Francis Herman, were chosen as Dem
ocrats in November, 1862, and all but Mr.. Girls.
void habitually vote on the side Of Slavery.
Mr. Odell, we are glad to see, voted right yes
terday.] Each Of them was nominated and elect
cd Democrat; but the revolving year brought
them severally into mnorities in their respective
districts last November, amounting in tho aggre-
gate to 4, 900; while Messrs. Winfield and Gan.
son, who together had over 5000 majority in
CO. were sustained in 63 by majorities amount
ing In tho aggregate to less than 500. Yet all
these, but Messrs. Griswod occasionally and
Odell enthusiastically, persist in voting TO up
mold slavery.
From Pennsylcanid, Messrs. WIN. ii. Miller,
Alex. Ii. CoiIroth, Arch. McAllister, John'L.
Dawson and Jesse Lazear, were chosen a.
Democrats in Oct. 1862, by majorities adding
up about $500. Last October, in most des-
perate struggle and upon the heaviest vote ever
polled in the State, the district Of each went our
way, by an aggregate majority Of 1000; yet
these Members keep on voting for Slavery just
as though they had not seen the last returns.
The case Of Ohio Is most fragrant Of all. In
the absence Of OF least Fifty Thousand Of her
gallant sons in the defense of their country, and
under tho influence of National disaster and
encouragement in the Autumn Of 1862, the
State was carried by the Copperhssds, who
polled an aggregate majority Of b.577; carrying
fexrtssn Of tho nineteen Congress Districts,
BY maloriNes ranging from 80 upward. Last
Fall. the panic had passed and tho soldiers
voted. giving an aggregate Union ma
jorty Of over SIXTY T1oxsssd on the
Homo vote. and noarly Forty Txossasd on that
Of the Soldisrs-the aggregate being l0l. 099.
on the heaviest poll ever known. Every Dis.
