After long debate the communication
on motion OF Mr.. Cambreleng, was re-

and ordered TO be printed.
The Mississippi Election case. is
likely TO produce as much "ercitemeaf''
aud as many scenes" as the famous
affair two years ago. between Graham
and Newland. With the large maicr.
Ity OF the supporters Of the administra-
ton, the present will be as purely a
party question, as was the North Caro-
lima contested election. Still, however.
At is believed the rights OF Messrs. Prem
tiss and Word are so clear, and can be
put forth so strongly, that il will be
impossible with all the power Of disci-
piine. to bring uP majority TO vote
against them.
