fogs' of The morning. The Spectator
farther informs US. that they had IN 1" \

was certainly very excusahIe. after har-

popular sentiment Of the state was against
item.
Senator Brown and Mr.. Bsnnm were
sPeech.makers on the occasion. We learn
from private source, that in his speech
Mr.. Brown said. that he did no. consider
the expression of the popular sentiment
in The late elections as sufficiently expli.
cit, and should therefore wait for instruc-
tons from the Legislature. We UNDER
stand Ghas he even went into labored
argument to show the folly of consider
ing the expressions Of opinion in popular
elections as instructions, because Of their
continual fluctuations; as il The same OBJ
jeclion would not apply with equal force
To instructions from the Legislature. To
one unacquainled with the maneuvering
Of The parry, these would be deemed
strange sentiments to cone from a De.
mocrasic Senator; but il seems that "a de-
mocracy." nowadays, is made 10 mean
any thing which will sustain the party in
power. Mr.. Brown is determined that
none other than Paddy's kint shall serve

Mr.. Bynum's speech, we learn from

fully sprinkled with loco.focoicm. We
know not whether this should be atiribu-
