shire, _Hamlin_
of Maine, _Miller_ of New Jersey, Morton, _Norris_ of New
Hampshire, _Phelps_ of Vermont, Pratt, _Seward_ of New York,
_Shields_ of Illinois, _Whitcomb_ of Indiana. [Fifteen
Northern Senators absent from the vote.]

On the final passage of the Bill in the Senate, the yeas and nays
were not taken. _D.S. Dickinson_ of New York, who had been absent
when the vote was taken on the engrossment, spoke in favor of the
bill. Mr. Seward was said to be absent from the city, detained by
ill health.

When the Bill came up in the HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, (September
12th,) JAMES THOMPSON of Pennsylvania, got the floor,--doubtless by
a previous understanding with the Speaker,--and addressed the House
in support of the Bill. He closed his remarks by _moving the
previous question_! It was ordered, and thus all opportunity for
reply, and for discussion of the Bill was cut off. The Bill was then
passed to its third reading--equivalent to enactment--by a vote of
109 YEAS, to 75 NAYS; as follows:--
