The difficulty in which the House of Rcpresen-
tatives was placed on Saturday, BIZ the refusal OF
the Ioco.Foco Senator from the Plymouth District

Constitutional candidates being Wings, there was
no contest between the parties, and Jesse Perkins
of North Bridgewater received 800 votes to -

clared elected The Senate stands, therefore, II
