The members who intentionally absented themselves when this bill was about to be voted on, are less to be respected than those who boldly recorded their names in the affirmative. Some of the members who did not vote are known to be opposed to the bill, and will doubtless give a good reason for their absence at such a critical time. The dough-faces, who dodged as the vote was about to be taken, should be ascertained, and held up to the merited contempt of the world. Mr. Stevens, of Pennsylvania, after the passage of the bill, gravely rose, and suggested to the Chair the propriety of dispatching one of the pages, to inform his Whig friends who had gone out, that they now could return in safety, as the slavery matter was disposed of! How mean and dastardly does the conduct of such "Whig

friends" appear, compared with the noble independence of Stevens and his respected coadjutors, both Whigs and Democrats, and Free Soilers, who, by their votes, stood up bravely for the Constitution and Human Rights.

́It will be seen that the Representatives from the Free States numbered 141, while the number from Slave States was only 91. The former, therefore, had they all voted, could have killed the bill. A tremendous responsibility rests upon them. There were, it seems, 50 who were absent, or who dodged the question. Why did any one flee from the House to save himself from saying aye or no? Evidently because he feared to "face the music," or, in other words, he was afraid to meet his constituents if he voted aye, and trembled lest his party would lose their Southern wing, if he voted nay. There is no doubt that a large number of the dodgers from the Free States were convinced that a majority of their constituents were opposed to the bill, and that if they had voted in accordance with the views of those they were sent to represent, the bill would have been defeated. The people of the North, therefore, justly feel that they have been betrayed by their representatives, and in uniting with the people of color in resisting this bill, they are only carrying out their original intentions in the instructions given to their Senators and Representatives in Congress.

The above act was approved by MILLARD FILLMORE, a northern President of the United States, Sept. 18, 1850. The day he put his name to it will be a memorable one in his life. It will be the act of his administration, by which he will be distinguished in history. He is a lawyer; he knows what constitutional law is; and he has stood up in the Halls of his native State and denounced the encroachments of the Slave Power. But now we behold him basely truckling to the dictation of the South, instead of promptly and manfully VETOING the act, because affixing his signature to it would be a violation of his oath of office, a violation of the Constitution, and an outrage upon Civil Liberty. He had not, it seems, integrity and independence enough to act out the convictions of his understanding. He has thus shown that, instead of being the dignified chief of a nation, he is the instrument of Daniel Webster, the manager of the acting President, the tool of a party that is succumbing to the Slave Power in order to secure their votes at the next Presidential election. For shame!

We have said that the infamous Fugitive Slave Bill-it is not wor
