OraThe Glenner nnhlished at Nem ia

C." The Cleaner" published at New Har-
mony, is very anxious to take credit to its par
ty for the course of its members on the oues,
lion of the adjournment of the Legislature, and
10 throw all the blame of that move on their
opponents. The editor says that, sthis event
has been brought about by a pretty fair Wing
majority" and then adds:
1.-The Democratic Senator from Posey and
Nanderburgh, We are told, took a manly stand
againstth the whole proceeding"
Unfortunately for the editor and those friends
of the Senator who are anxious to build up his
popularity and run him into Congress, this amt
true. The person who 'stold" the editor that
yarn imposed upon him. The ayes and noes
don't show that the Senator took any .sstand''
of the kind, but on the contrary werecollect tina
while reading them to have thought Mr.. JAMES
quite as anxious to pocket has mileage and get
alody as any of them, Wing or loco. For the
benefit of our l~ocofoco friends we publish the
vote, which was upon Mr.. Osborn's motion
s'to reconsider the resolution of the House,
(adjourning on account of the small -pox,
which had previously been laid upon the ia
be- and the ayes and noes being taken result
teda follows:
AYEs-Messrs. Beard, Berry, Cassatt. Cheno-
with, Goats, Co-nett. Day, English, Green, Han
dy, Howell, Hubbard, Huffstetter, JAMES,
Marsh, Miller, Millikin, Osborn, Robinson, Ia
Der, Verbrike, Waters, WincheIl, Zenor-24.
NoEs-Barbour, Conduit, Davis. Ellis, Good
enow, Hamrick, Hardin, Henry, Holloway
Houghton, Malott, Martin, McCarty ,Milligan.
Montgomery, Morrison. Orth, Randall, Read,
Rosseau, Simpson, Stewart.-22.
That certainly don't look as if Mr.. James
took a very firm ''stand" against the measure,
on the contrary we are inclined to think he had
become a little alarmed himself just about that
time, and was quite willing to go with the ma
jority. On the vote which followed, to strike out
the mileage, Mr.. James voted in the negative
showing that he had quite as great love for the
loaves and fishes as any of his brethren. That
vote we give also, that our ~locofoco friends
may appreciate the ''manliness" of our Senator.
On the vote to strike out the mileage, it was
decided in the negative as follows;
AYEs-Chenowith, Conduit, Cornett, Davis,
Goodenow, Hamrick, Hardin, Henry, Malott,
Miliken, Montgomery, Morrison Orth, Read,
Simpson, Stewart, Verbrike, Waters.-19
NoEs4-Barbour, Beard, Berry, Coats, Day,
English; Ellis, Green, Handy, Holloway, How
ell. Houghton, Huffstetter, JAMES, Marsh,
Martin, McsKarty, Miller, Milligan, Murray,
Osborn. Randall, Robinson, Rosseau, Taber,
Walpole, Wanchell, Zenor.-29
We agree with the editor of the Cleaner that
todesert their duties was bad enough; but when
the members, in addition to that voted to pay
themselver money to runaway upon, we think
i~toutrageous, and hat the press generally should
hold them up to deserved ridicule. We hope
our friend at New Harmony will not forget to
state that this wrong upon the people is main
ly owing to the ''manly stand" taken by oul
Senator.
