VOLUME Is.
Union among the Republicans.

We admit there is room for mistakes
in estimating the political complexion of
the next legislature; but the best evil
dcnce goes to show, that the Republicans
have a clear majority in the assembly, and
clear majority in joint ballot of the two
/ houses. In the senate there is but one
| Democratic majority and we know enough
personally ofsome of the democratic mem
| bers of the senate, to believe they will
oppose no factions opposition TO the
measures Of the other party proper in
themselves. nor to the reforms which are
conceded necessary, and which the Re-
publican party are expected TO move with
reference to.
We think the future success of the Re-
publican party in the state, depends much
in the use its representatives make, during
the present session Of the legislature, of
the power entrusted to them. Should
we be mistaken in reference to the de-
mocracy Of the senate. and they should
prove factiouS, and defeat measures only
because the other side originated them.
theirs viii be the fault, and upon them
will fall the retribution; but should they
not, as we confidently believe, if the Re
publican party fails to meet the just ex-
pectations Of the people, the fault will be
theirs alone.
Union of action is the great essential
to their success. Tie first effort Of our
opponents will be to distract our own
councils. Already we hear III different
parts of the state, confident expressions
on the part of the Hunkers, that they can
easily accomplish this. They know we
have the strength to elect our own Uni
ted States Senator, and to originate and
carry out our own measures. but they
fccl'a confidence that some mode of dis
tracing us can be found or invented. tnat
will ruin US at least. if it does not bene-
fit them.
We say again, the people have chosen
a Republican legislature to first elect q
true Republican United States Senator.
and second to accomplish the many meas
ures Of State Reform so palpably deman-
ding accomplishment They have put
majority into this legislature for these
very objects and if this majority does al
low itself to lie distracted, and the pur-
pose of the people thereby defeated, it is
too much to hope that We shall long main
tain our ascenddncy.
Then the first great purpose Of the Re
publican representatives should be, union
among themselves. We have plenty Of
good men for United States Senator.
There is not particle of necessity either
for going into the ranks Of the party con-
dcmned by the people, or for taking a
doubtful or middle man. 1t is only nee
cssary that we should resolve upon union;
union first. last, and always.
BY this means we shall secure the cleo
ton of such man to the [. s. Senate as
the people desire and require; and we
shall also carry out and perfect those
measures Of reform which we are conf
IDENTITY expected to carry out.
And by this means only can we dis
charge our present duty to the people, or
maintain the ascendancy which we have
won.

A wagon load of the notes of the In
diana Stock Banks were returned one day
last week at the Auditors Office. lie.
If the same process is gone through
with in Indiana with returned notes, as
in this State, This wagon load Of returned
notes will furnish the Auditor some bust
ness. In the c omptrollcr's Office Of this
State every note returned, is recorded
separately and length in book kept for
that purpose. The purpose of it is, to
prevent the possibility Of fraud by re-is-
sues Of returned notes, as any person can
tell by referring TO the book whether the
note he holds is properly in circulation.
This is laborious and perhaps expensive
process, but as the Banks pay an album
dant tax to the State, to meet the expense
perhaps it is best.

The editor Of the Gallatin Tenth

editor is nearly beside himself for JOY.
He proposes to enter the baby at the
next baby show, and he is too clatcd to
express himself in prose, so he pours out
his soul in poetry.

You never saw on mortal leg
\ thing to beat our baby.
It's wee, wee toes. all out of place,
Its spotty legs and arms,
Its rosy-posey little ftce.
Its ducky darling charms.
Its downy hail, kind o'brown,
It's double and twisted chin,
It's nose turned up its ears turned down,
lit gambols and its grin;
Its eyes SO like its mama's own,
Two little leaIy things;
Its dumpln cheeks with pimples sown,
It's smile, when papa sings;
It's morning yell and evening bawl,
Tvs gums-how they do bite

From Gallatin or Cairo,
Since Moses Of sailing went
