Mr.. Senator Kives.
"The pcrora,ion Of this speech, was certainly
Of the finest pieces OF eloquenceI ever heard

parties, which his middle position exposed him 10.
and declaring that he stood where he was six
months before, he called upon his former friends
To espouse his views which were once theirs
He knew he would be denounced he had been

The question Of the contested election from
MISSISSIPPI has been at length disposed of, ahc
one Of the most memorable contests that we
have ever witnessed, and certainly closei,
contested as ever decided in a Legislative
body: the casting vote Of the SPEAxER having
decided it ia the first instance, though add

that new election must be held for representa-
tves from Mississippi lnteigen
