But little of interest has been doing in Con

.the question of abolishing the slave trade in the
'District of Columbia again came up, and gave
rise to another exciting debate. The question
was revive.' on the motion tore -consider t he
vote by which Mr. Gott's resolution to prohibit
the trade in the District was passed.
The motion to re-consider was earaiecl—Yeas
110, nays 81.
Mr. Smith, of In dinna, then moved to amend
?hi! resolution thus reconsidered, by striking
out the preamble and all after the word Resol
ved, and inserting instructions to the committee
to inquire and report what legislation is neces
nary to prevent the introduction of slaves from
any of the States into the District of Columbia,

,y bill or otherwise.
Mr. Botts moved to lay the whole subject on
the table; and on this the yeas and nays were
ordered, and it was decided in the negative—
-94 to 110.
Mr. Meade moved an amendment to the
attl3ndment of M r. Smith, providing for the re.
covery of fegitive slaves, but it was ruled out
of order.
Mr. Smith droved to modify his substitute
for the original resolution, so as to instruct the
Committee to.bring in a bill,— but, before any
action was had on this motion, or on the sub
