no, no. These Black men knew better than 70 ,,a,
such an experiment. They knew that Mess,o wv

Does the democratic party require any thing f,rl..

TO meet them. A joint meeting accordingly toot |
place, and how did they act in that Joint meeting,
the first thing they did, was a paltry trick. Their
whole hearts desire was after Reynolds. The Pen
cadcr men knew that Reynolds was very much o.
posed TO the election OF James r. Black, and thafc
preferred even DR.. Black to J. r. Black. Tby
Thought, 1t they could Brighten Reynolds by making

one OF them gave him a vote. Reynolds was alarm.
led. But his Tears subsidized, upon some persons near
him, suggesting that it was all a trick and he re.
Trained from giving the Doctor his vote. Thus lhs
poor paltry trick failed. But it is really sickening
to think OF the bitterness exhibited this occasion
Ten ballots were tried, in which DIR. Black ever,
time voted for himself. He dare not deny it, for We
can prove it.) Still no resignation by Dr. Black IN
favor OF another candidate. Still no abandonment Of
him, by bis frends-stil no election 1t was folly to
persist any longer i'll such chll1s play. The Two
Houses at last separated, BY reference to The min
utes which have laid before the public ii will be
seen that after this farce had been acted, when The
Senate met again, after half an hours adjoummsnl
that they received another resolution from the Hous:
to meet and appoint successor 10 Mr.. Rodney
We are afraid here, that we will scarcely be credit

support us. Yes, this precious, this much Ialkedoi
majority. wanted again to disgrace he senate cham

DIR Black and his party who refused to give any
other man IN the state a chance OF being SENATOR
who gave 10 the Doctor himself fifteen chances--

so good as to throw those gentlemen ont OF lOsH

resolution 10 which We have referred they had upu
their table, resolution from the Senate, tor lnte
