The speech Of Mr.. Cas- in the Senate to-day was rea

the remarks Tor him, and that he only read them
enough for member OF the House stand up rea,

y unbecomin In the Senate Senator should either b,
able TO speak, or keep silent.

some eensurabe articles but think this Locooco party are
carrying their opposition to the venerable Editor far

bers OF Congress- is It doing than following the
ample set by the President Did he at the opening
OF the session, denounce all those who dared
Executive usurpations, Traitors II the Union FOL-
lowing the lead OF the Executive, applies the same Ian
guage TO recean members OF own party WHY do they

only family initiating the daring and dangerous ins,
lence Of the President hmsef1 The Caudie Lectures"
OF the Union be annoying, but is only the sprt of
Locooeoism ii those clothed power are JUSTIFIED in
denouncing Wings, see why the hrelings of
those IN power also lash those who dare TO kick
out o. the party II members are vexed with the
Administration, why revenge themselves Reporters and
Editors Let them manully resolve that the whole con-
duct OF Locotccosm Is nsOlent and dsgraccfu 10 the
country, and then they will be consistent II the Organ

Mr.. CoKwIS OF Ohio has the hoor for Tomorrow and
wall make, doubt not, great speech. The groans
Of the Union indicate the Three Million Bill
/ nDt hV ghD I.
Anna be dead, may find villain base enough in the
Republic sell his country small sum and unless
Mr.. Polk find another tool despicabc enough to be
taken under his protection, the three millions may not
be wanted. Unless Santa Anna has some children as
'reacherous as himself whom will the three millions de-
scendl They the hsirs James h Polk
the business partner Of Santa Anna
Another difficulty occurs TO here about this ater-
If Santa Anna be really dead vacancy occurs in the
COMMANDMENT chiei-ship OF the Mexican Army Can Nr
Polk appoint Santa Annas successor during the reeets'
understand that this puzzng constitutional has been
submitted 10 the ab.est constitutional authorities IN the
senate. Ii understood that these authorizes are divided
though believe Is tho opinion OF the chairman OF the
judiciary committee that the proceeding constitutional
and tina, NJ. Polk appoint Nr Santa Annals succes-
at his discretion But this hardly meets the O. -uy
OF the case, as his discretion not easily iouud-cXccp
be when he adopted the better part OF Vaor the celebrated
dHaJasis from 81 40.
