We see it even retarding the growth of the new State of Missouri, and causing her to fill far behind her sister Indiana in improvement and population.

The Yeas and Nays were asked and ordered; and, being taken, were— Yeas 28, Nays 128. And the question recurring on the demand for the previous question: Mr. Fries inquired of the S next obtained the floor, but gave way for Mr. Haralson, who moved that the Committee rise. Mr. Greeley appealed to the gentleman from Georgia [Mr. Haralson] to withhold his motion, while he might, by the courtesy of the gentleman from Indiana [Mr. Embree], make a brief reply to the allusions which had been made to him and his course upon this subject. He asked only for five minutes But Mr. Haralson adhered to his motion, which was agreed to. So the Committee rose and repor
