This morning Mr. Broadhead Senator from
Pike, took The floor and replied 10 the insin
uations OF Gen. Clark in one Of the ablest
and mos, beautiful speeches that has been
made here during the session. Mr.. B. is a
sound and reliable Wing, and man OF fine
talents; he took this occasion 10 lay down
the Wing platform, and TO declare The time

was followed by General Clark in a long
speech, the burden Of which was the Wing

the General however, did nor neglect TO pass
a euogy upon Mr.. Green. and tell the two
houses. with many knowing winks, that in o
certain contingency he was prepared to vote
for him. Mr.. Winston followed in an clos

i, is impossible to even guess at tue result.
Excitement! reigns and rules here and amidst
such violent feelings and commissions in all
parties i, is impossible 20 predict wha, day
may bring forth. Many predict tina. the
wing party will blow up during this convul
sion, but | think differently; that some who
have been long in ,oaiting may take this oc.
easion to bolt is probable enough, but the
grea! body Of the party here are conservative
ia their views, and will resist with manly
ffmoess The fire eaters, OF whom there are
but few. Amidst the collisions OF opinion,
one thing think you may rely on, if a Sen,
slor is elected 81 this session il will be Geyer,
but am inclined to the opinion no election
will be effected. H.
