reduced in the debate, and said that they had no
evidence in the recent New-York Election Of a

sus of the supineness of the Wings, % 600 less of
| their number voting in 1912 than in l840-know-
ing as they did, account Of the constitutional
fact, that, from the action of the friends OF the
Executive on this floor as well as of the President
himself no efforts of theirs could effect, present,
any change IN the policy of the Administration Of
Government. Every thing taking place in this
House and in the country, he said, tending TO
form issues for the contest of 1914 on principles
