time being will coon meet in the Capital Of your
State, and enter up their duties Tor good or
for evil. We shall not turn prOphet,and tell be-
forehand what they will do, unchecked as the
wings now are by their opposing party; but we

will endeav0r to make all the use of it possible
while it lasts. The democratic party having no
control, no check, the wings of course will pursue
