Corresponience OF The Tribune.
Nsw-0RLsAss, Jan. 26, ls4s.
wrote you yesterday in great haste as the way
mail was closing intending 20 inclose you the leading
article Of the Bulletin OF yesterday explaining the
disgraceiul occurrence in the Legislature, but found
when too late that had sent you the wrong article
that of the 24th. ] now send you the right one,
with another Of today.
We rhe outside Whigs) do not intend to let this
matter rest here. 1t must be probed. The expa
nations or excuses 30 far are too trihing to be
9arded There ras no excuse for Garcia, any
other wing .oVosHIty Arising rom the danger Of
Sliders election. They had the power in their
own hands and could have prevented the cleo
ton Of a Loco Foco even without Myess vote. The
deep, bis,ering disgrace Of this election is black
spot that will nerer out The Bulletin nobly
msniully, eloquently speaks the general sentiment
here and not Of Wings alone and ] am glad to
hear that the publisher is receiving substantial
evidences of this feeling in the rapid increase ofhis
subscribers.
Myless excuse is that he received message
importing that his wife was sick, and hurried down
to the abroad Depot in the Third Municipality :
but that there he met message saying she
better This Is CANNON Of course. The offer to
him Of four negroes if he would absent himself will
beinvestigated. Yours b.

What is singular in this affair Is that Mr.. MYIrs wa.
not only In the Wing caucns when Mr.. KEsETR
eeted as the whig candidate, bat voted for him, and
glejges himself 10 DO so In the House.
At the appointed hour for the meeting Of the two Houses

friends sought for him, in vain in every direction aud the
sergean;-s-Arms dispatched 70 hriag him 10 the
House. Neither friends OFT ,er could ind him any
where and no one could tell whittier he had gone or io
what.

AT the election for State Printer three Whlgs were ab

These are sad tiinss for the Wings Of this State,
they are for the Wings Of the Union While we pen
these lines feel Inundated BY the result which throws
dlseredlt all
There is no light in which conduct OF those Wings
who procured defeat be viewed that in way
relieves the transaction Of yesterday from the deepest re-
prosch. The mind fall back nothing for consoa
ton We feel humbed, Frustrated and trodden down, and
By friends we have nothing to suggest IN extern
usonno TO offer 10 our Wing friends throughout
the Union-the fact is naked In its uusainliness.
Those have named (Whigs we will no longer call
them) have BETRAYED us-volatet their solemn obligations
TO their fellow whg members-sscrinced their principles
sacrificed their partysacced the interests Of their
Try. and gone 10 the enemy.
Let them then, remain In the hostile camp with their
bames deeply scared upon the memory Of every loyal
Wing and may the separation be eternal for the hand

conS re-
marks yesterday the conduct Of whig Members
Of the Legislature connected with the election U. :.
Senator. violent attack made upon the
moor Of the Senate Chamber by Mr.. fkLIx GARCIA,
one Of the members alluded TO, In which he indulge IN
PERSONAL and unounded vituperaton unbecoming for
gentleman, as II undgnred FOR Senator. We shall
not follow the example Of Mr. GARCIA In this respect In
present In any future remarks We may have coca
soa 10 make upon his conduct In connection with THIS
subject as we yet have descended 10 personalities
In columns but shall certainly not be deferred by
any dread Of his personal abHse from freely commenting
