the House and voted 10 show tie union and
harmony Of the party.
The vote showed that on The first ballot Mr. !.
ARCHER received 63 Wing votes. Mr. HES
TER q Democratic notes.-the exact strength
o. the Two men ON their own footing IN the
Legislature. Which ought 10 have yielded,
Mr.. AaeBER's friends 10 Mr. HusTEa. or Mr.
TIrxTER's friends 10 Mr.. AgcHEa2 Mr.
IIuSrEa's friends clearly ought 10 have come
10 Dir. ARcHEa, as II appears Mr. SMTa and
Mr. JosEs were obnoxious 10 both because Of
their Hunksrism. The Wings aiecondnualIy
putting their spoons into the dish Of Democrat
ic squabbles, and great shakes they make out
OF their in.ermeddling. How much better TO
stand Off among themselves even though they
are in the minority. win they learn any
thing from xperience--pcrhaps they viii find
themselves in The same trap with some Of the
'.pqy excellence" Wings about here, who are
now the objects of the abuse Of some of those
whom they voted into power. Sturdy m.n
nerer look 80 ridiculous as ,rde,i caught IN their
ou-n snare
Ex-senator iius1Es should wan, re cleo
ton al the end Of six years, and the Democrat
&c majority in the Legislature are little more
plum upon the Caucus System than they are
now, he will take the first fit opportunity TO
abuse The Wings soundly by way ofrecommcn-
daiion 10 his own friends and party. But he

CALHOUN Consefyatisr, ralying point FOR /
Wings. 10 besure-it is lausn2ble encagh.-
Give US a Virginia Ilunkl.sr any time, to a
CALnoUs Chiss'fyman--ihe first is bold and
.'-.dds out; you catch hi, rough hand and
know where 10 meet him and where TO find |
him but the later are all smiles I'LL the time
comes, and then in slips the stileuo under the
fifth rib. II the Wings have any accounts 10
settle against any party, it is Mr.. CALHous's, |
and web they ought to know it. Well, we
wish the Wings JOY oftheir Conservative friend. |
Here is the true doctrine, and the course
which the whole Wing party in the I.egisla- |
,uFe should have followed. The intelligent
Representative from Petersburg, Mr.. SYME, |
knows what he is about. On the second bal |
lot, Mr.. ARCHER received but 90 votes in the /
House. and under the rules was dropped, I
when Mir. s. rose and said -
Asa rule Of the House required that Mr. 7
ARcHEs's name should be dropped, he arose /
again 10 place him in nomination. (Several {
voices. MOI" .'NopO Mr.. SYME was per /
fectiy aware that he differed with large mum I
Der OF his political brethren as to duty and pro
prlety ia this election but while he was sure t
they would do what they thought right. he |
claimed the privilege TO act upon his own re- |
sponslhlily, according TO his own sense of du- |
~. The remarks of the gentleman from |
Wy;he and Pulaski (Mr FLoYp) to day had |
taught him what he had not known before
That gentleman, IN his earnest appeal 10 the |
Old IIunkers, told them that Mr.. HUNTER had |
always served faithfully thu Democratic party |
MIR S. asked himself, then, was that reason |
why Il. Nj. T. HUNTER should receive his
vote? From the time that Mr.. CALHOUN, and
his first Lieutenant, II, NJ. Il. HuSrEe, had
marched over, bag and baggage, to VAN b.
REM. their party had filed the Wing party
in every crisis in the political affairs OF the Uui
tod States. Is that plea why the Wing party
should he be asked TO vote for HUNTER2 He
could not vote for him CD any such principle.
He would discharge his duty by placing the
name of Mr.. ARCHER again before the House
and nominated or not. he should receive his
vote as long as these ballots continued. Mr..
S. was at caucus last night--,he gentleman
from Goochand needn't be star,led-it was
only caucus between himself and HUNTER
MANI aughter.) MIR. s asked the friend of
Mr.. IIcrrFR 10 vote ioi Mr. ARCHER "Ohr"
said he .'Mr. ARCHER is 4 Wing, you can't
expect me 10 vote for him!" replied con
tinued hlr. s., land YOU say HuNrER is
Democrat how do you expect me 10 vote for
him ?" And the caucus broke up in row.
(Great iaugh,er.) This election has been
compared 10 game at cards--ii is game,
and fear, a losing game for me and my coun-
try. The dominant party in this House have
the cut, shuttle and deal but will play on,
nv hand, Mr. Speaker, IL don't win a trick
