This is famous plan, and about as etfec-
tually stiles the voice of the Wing people of
this Commonwealth as the most ardent adyo-
cate of a one-sided government could desire.
As for Richmond, this Samson of Whiggery
is bound with strong cords, but perhaps he
may break his bands, and yet carry destruc-
ton to the Phillistines The Democratic
friends of the Senate's substitute swallowed,
with wry faces, the bitter dose. Mr.. Doug
las said the arrangement was anything but
agreeable to him. Mr.. Mason thought it no
better than the House plan, but would sup
port it because he thought no better would
be adopted. Mr. Thompson regarded the
plan as compromise between the opposing
parties and would therefore support it, Mr.
Amber and Mr.. Catlett voted for it in def
ference to the wishes of their friends, and moi
in accordance with their own. Mr.. Thomas
(Whig) thought it was worse than the origi-
nal plan. But there was no checking the
progress Of this Juggernaut Of a clergyman
der. On it went crushing all obstacles be-
meath its massive wheels. The bill was pass
ed, ayes "a, noes 10. Our synlpathies are
with the beaten wing Of the Democracy. i
was a sorry sight to behold old King Caucus
seated like the old man of the Sea, ON SO many
broad shoulders, aud twisting his long sinewy
legs, around SO many gallant necks Is this
partitioning ola State without regard to con-
tiguity or conipactness, without regard Il
anything but the monopoly of political power
is it Constitutional is it Republican is il
Democratic. -Rich. Mai.
