He YVES proud of the Cumberland Road as a Ma

He spoke less than an hour, and was listened to
with great attention. lie was opposed TO The mo-
ton before the House to commit the memorial
praying for the continuance of the Road TO the COM
mittee on ways aud means with Instructions to re-
port a bill. He did not consider this the proper
mode of prosecuting the work and therefore oppo-

Mr.. HuBBARD, Of Alabama, replied to Mr.. Hof-

hoped that not another dollar would bc opptopria-

The result, OF the contest, in the election OF a

the strength of the Opposition Wing and Conser-

it p.ecsdes, so shortly, the Spring and Fall cleo
tions-the first, highly important, not only because
the next Legislature will be called upon to elect
two Senators, to represent the State in Congress,
but because the result OF that election will affect the

A Revolution is taking place in the State, that
