LAST Acr OF THE DR,MA. There was yesterday
great fermentation in the political circles here. The
reader is apptscd that on Saturday Gov. Gmer, with
out any previous notice and 10 the astonShment OF ev
cry body resigned his Office On the morning many
members Of Assembly OF each party had returned 10
their homes ia the belief that the business OF the
sion had been virtually brought 10 a close. At the
moment OF the reception OF the Governors message
fortv-fye seats were vacant IN the House Of Delegates
alone In FIVE minutes after the message was read,
the Loco Focos posted express after FIVE OF Their
number who Left Saturday morning finally. They
overtaken nine miles from town, and four OF the
five returned-he fifth Mr. DYER, OF the Senate, said
he had set out for Missouri, and would not return.
Others Of that party, living the line of the railroad
at practicable distances, were written to- and were
in their seats yesterday morning. The Wings were
thus decidedly outnumbered. Sunday was busy day,
and the Locos appeared in large numbers and high
spirits.
On Saturday a law was hastily passed by both
Houses. changing the time of the commencement of
the gubernatorla term, and recognising what we think

ton, instructed in his part and continually strengthen
ed in his resolution by the becks and mods and whis

his call for the previous question.
/ In this exigency, the Wings rallied and determined
that management and continuance and trick should
avail to thrust Loco Foco Governor on the Common
wealth. They resolved that there should be election,
and they proceeded to enforce that firm resolve by
speaking against tme-for by joint resolution already
adopted, the session TO close at the adjournment

to most thronged audience.
A succession of Wings took the floor and spoke with
the most excited animation under the guillone of the
