[56] On account of the meagre records it is difficult to
follow the course of this bill. I have pieced together
information from various sources, and trust that this account
is approximately correct.

[59] This amendment of the Committee of the Whole was adopted
by a vote of 63 to 53. The New England States stood 3 to 2 for
the death penalty; the Middle States were evenly divided, 3
and 3; and the South stood 5 to 0 against it, with Kentucky
evenly divided. Cf. _House Journal_ (repr. 1826), 9 Cong. 2
sess. V. 504.

[61] The substitution of the Senate bill was a victory for the
anti-slavery party, as all battles had to be fought again. The
Southern party, however, succeeded in carrying all its
amendments.
