THE EYPI1NGE

In the Senate, on Saturday, Mr.. Bavard
said he should avail himself of the present
moment 10 call up the Resolution common
y known as The expuuging Resolution, ot
which intention he had given previous
notice. Ii the Senate should consent To
take itup he would desire that il might be
decided without debate. So far as he was
concerned he had very few remarks la
make indeed he did not know that be
should offer any. If, on the other hand,
The Senate should decide not he take it up,
he must submit, satisfied with having dis,
charged his duty in the matter. having
becn Instructed BY his State. Mr.. Tap,
pan said that the subject was one of IA
highly Interesting character, and could not
lie acted on without debate There were
a number of bills on the calender that
might be acted on without debate. The
question was then taken on the motion Of
Mr.. Bayasd, and decided III the Negative
by large majority.

A NEW AND oDIoUs DOCTRINE.

That in the dividing OF q State into dis
tricts toT the election Of Representatives tc
Congress, party considerations have beer
sometimes allowed to exercise an luh1ence
Incompatible with fairness and justice, We
all very we'll know. But, as far as we are
informed and believe, the Message Of the
Governor Of the State of Pennsylvania, re
turning to the Legislature the second bi
which i, has offered for his appreciation O.
The subject contains the fast official annun
ciaicD Of the doctrine that such an ufu
ence is contemplated by The Constitution
Of the United States But, let the Cover
nor speak for himself Here is aA extract
from his Message:
"Tho Constitution Of the United States does
not it is true, recognise the existence of political
parties but they are inherent in the very nature
of our government, and will as certainly exist as
the government itself. The provision confding
TO the States the designation of districts for the
election of members of the House of Representa-
tiyes of the National Government. ;caS intended
10 gre 10 the resFscttre States Tie p0'eer Of suit
ing the arrangement Of the districts TO THE con.
plTIoN OF PARTIES, and Of course TO the interests
and convenience Of the States"
And, assuming that the apporIionment
proposed by the bill which he returns s less
favorable to his own party than /, ought TO
be, the Governor adds:
IL have batled too long in t.. ranks Of the
Democracy to see It's standard struca down, with
out lifting my arm 10 avert II, Were | to do so,

What language to come from the mouth
Of the Governor Of State O1e would
suppose tina! he recognised no other " fellow.

IL is lnSinuated, moreover, by respecta
