nent parties in the House 10 effect organization OF that
body: t st#.
That union caucus be held that Howell Cobb DO the
union candidate for Speaker in order 10 secure gentlemen

should have a wing chairman and whig majority that
the gisatips should have democratic chair
majority and that from all conmntees the fac
tioniss and from both sections OF the Union
should be excluded
As the "Mirror" claims 10 be par ereelien0 the

through the election OF Mr. Winthrop eatre wing or.
ganization And what does this proposition disclose

committees; the committees upon the expenditures oil

Post Office andast but not least in this connexion-the
Interior Department; committees which democratic ad-

proposition which shall enable this administration TO
all should Thos Ewing, esq be aided IN screening HIM
self and the harpies who have ilegtmaely been per-
mitted TO suck the peoples through his unscru-
pulous ways and means, from full investigation, fair
trial, and the Just verdict Of the people.
