certain; the chances likely for Douglass, yet this
winter may bring forth something TO uuleose both oil
them and place Gen. Lane upon the track. If so, all
admit that he would rouse up powerful spirit Of enthu
siasm. The hossuth resolutions. giving him welcome
country passed the Senate last night late, only
six voting against them. They will pass the
House easy. Gen. CaSs made the happiest speech Of
