Tne resolationgin relssion to the repeal of the Miagouri com promiae, which are even of an abolition chsracter, were adopted by 8 vote of nearly taree to one in the House, and almost cnanimously in the Rans‘e. The discussions on these resolutions were wha’ is called “ szisy.” Your old acqusintasce, Mr. Paal R Gorgas, of Hop Kinten, who took a very proxinant and ¢ editable part in the Logislstize p-ocesdiags, dec’ared that if the doctrines propoucded had be2n brought forward before the last electiua, the devil would have baen raised, and the rezalt of tae bat:le would hava bien éjfierent. Bot even he, while stating that Congress had the right to make and unmaka ths Fagit've Siave Jaw, contended that it was en uorightzons act, from which yon can infer what must be the opinions on- tertained 0’ it by people of othe: general polit) ai views.

Mr. George, the same day, after denouncleg the Know Notiicgs for their abolitionism, daclarad that hereafte: his heart would ba with ths demo cracy. At thiaearly day itis not easy to say how far he spoke the sentiments of those democrats who acted with himself and Mr. Barks in aiding to break down the dsmosvatic party in the Btate, not because tuey hai any enmity to Gov.
