a repealo the Expunging Resolution. Some de.

derstand, that MIR. Ridley, and perhaps some others
OF Tue Feds expressed decided appreciation of the
RECOMMENDATION induced the mover to desire tina,
might lie on the table agreed to-only the Lo-
cos voting against it
Mr. Crutchheld then moved, that the report of
the Committee on the Louisa contested election be
taken up This excited violent opposition from
some OF the windest leaders of the Locos. Alter
consuming as much time they we'll could in win
dy harangues, their opposition was rebuked by n
very large majority. The House had proceeded
out short time in the consideration Of the Report.
when the Locos made another movement for DELAY.
motion was made that the Report be laid upon
the table; and the Federal orators in troops came
FORWARD to sustain il. II was evident that every
eHpedenl was TO be resorted to to Illustrate and OH
s'ruet the deliberations and action Of the House.
Again, the factious manG uvrc was voted down Inv

termination of the majority to ascertain whether
Louisa was entitled to Representative on the floor
inc honest, up ight, conscientious, consistent and
Patriouc gentlemen took another tack and made on

the individuals, who bore conspicuous part in this

we do not recolcct to have seen the Locos exhibit
themselves IN less enviable light, than they did
yes,erday-less becoming them as patriots and le-

Is as their latter end draws near, they are rendered

The people Of the country, and the whgs of
The General Assembly particularly, will see from
TINS facous-and little less than disgracefu conduct
how little desev ing the Federal Faction has
become Of common respect and forbearance.
