the jail and other prisons of this State be used for

The two old proslavery parties are in peck Of per-
plextes yet about their governor. The Atlas claims
wing majority of four, and the Post democratic
orty of two, in the House, but each party reckon to
themselves a number of known Liberty men, who were
nominated and elected such. We have accounts,
which suppose to be correct of at least ten SUCH
besides many compromise men, who nominated
and elected because they supposed be worthy
of the votes of Liberty The democratic majority
in the Senate it stands, is foe, and unless the
wings obtain majority large enough to counter
balance this the vacancies in the Senate will be filled
by democrats 1t is plain that Liberty friends will
hold the balance in the House, and therefore will
troll the choice of Governor II they will exercise their
power firmly and Disey, they have it in their power to
do great service to the cause of human Freedom
Their responsibility is peculiar and trust will be
nohly met. We copy the following to show how the
papers speculate:
There is some talk, hear, that the wings, in the
event OF having too small majority in the House to
fill the vacancies in the Senate will send down the
Senate, Davis and Srwall, the two candidates.
This, under the Constitution, they have pe,fec, rig hi
to do, but doubt both the justice and esped ency

honesty 20 vote for the two candidates for Governor

were fired at from hill to the left.
