Tbe first resolution was rejected by yeas ' 100, nays 103; the second was adopted by 1 yea* 101, nays 100 ; and the 3d was rejected | by 100 yeas, to 10.3 nays. Mr. Fuller offered a resolution that the agitation of tho slavery question wus unwise " and Unjust to every section of the country. 1 Adopted, yeas 103, nays 100. * Mr. Meachaw offered a resolution that j the fepcal of tho Missouri Compromise was an example of useless and factious agitation ef the slavery question, unwise, and unjust to the American people.

Our confidence in that belief, however, was considera bly shaken on learning that the Democratic caucys had subsequently nominated that gen- e tleman. While he would have been in all respects acceptable to every Democrat in the Hall without the application of a nomination, I that formality will certainly tend to deprive u hiro qf the support of more or less anti Dcm c ocratic party members, who were perfectly willing to have voted for him as an independent candidate, in order to bring the present protracted contest to a close.

Since we began to think about it, we regret having laid anything at all. We^liope we aro excused. ANOTHER SNOW STORM.
