q. 5. Senator is Tristan Burgess, and the Admin.
istration candidate James D'Wolf, so far as things
have yet unfolded themselves. On the meeting of
The two houses Mr.. D'Wolf moved that message
be sent to the Senate inviting them to join the
House in Grand Commiste for the purpose of elec-
ting Senator to Congress-. and also to go into the
election of State officers. This motion was support.
ed by the Republican members. and opposed by the
Federal when a division the Repu blicans had
five majority for joining one federal member only
was absent. The Senate receiving the invitation
voted not to join by majority of one. 1t therefore
appears that the Grand Commute would have stood
three majority for the Republican Senator if the
Houses had joined.

greatest state papers that ever emanated from
Mr.. Clay 1t recommends moderation on the
part of our country, and an abstinence, Tor the
present, from any warlike measures. 1t speaks
of the earnest and continued efforts that the
King of France has made to have the Treaty
carried into full effect, evidence that the neao
of that government has given no cause OF o.
fence; and advises that this government should
rather second his efforts than thwart his exer-
tons. The Report does not discuss the ques-
ton of what is to be done If France shall final
In and ultimately refuse to carry the treaty into
effect. limiting itself to the simple declaration
that in that event the courage and patriotism Of
the United States will be equalto any emergen.

THAT it is inexpedient at this time to vcst in
the President any authority to make Reprisals
