tentons would be the prolific means OF promoting
disorgonzaiion and, by oIiciling the hopes OF The
many aspirunts, begot wrang'ing and disunlon IN
the party. We desired then that our ReprcSen'

Coils. Sewer and Ashley and Gov. ell should
still sit in the places which tic people OF this State
had called them to fill. There was, and still is,
measure on foot to supplan, Col. Ashley, a meas

those who are first and foremost in Ibis measure
are tie very men who cry loudCst against dIsor-

who arc tearing the party into factions for tho

that this plan and plot will cause dlsunIon, be-
cause, as we lave before repeated, the desire OF
the people is that ono who has so well satisfied

should continue to fill that capacity. They are
well pleased with his acts, both in the Senate and
towards them, his constituents; they are fully

into no better or trucr hands, no moro succcsstn

claims TO remain in his present scat are, in on
estimation, stronger than any others, aud We re
