row-boat. the last session Of Congress. In the
Senate we came out for State rights and disunlon;

bout going to North Carolina. We hope, when

1t is further said, that Mr.. Branch has been
purchasing lands in Florida, and intends remov-
ing to Tallahassee with view to the Gubernato-
rial chair of that Territory, which he perhaps
thinks he can manage as ably as he has the CON
Germs of the Navy. What are his prospects of
success, those who are in possession of State Sc

been afloat of his retiring from the Cabinet, a
step which no one would regret, that we must

One thing is certain, his chief has resigned some
weeks since, and no successor is yet permanently
appointed. although there is one acting. We

their propositions in writing"
