MR.. HUNT, OF LOUISIANA.

explanation Of yesterday to the House. took occasion to
pronounce the in the Union of the day in
which his alluded TO Of those DESTROYS OF

Misrepresentation of his feelings and conduct"
We reprint what we said
At twelve O'Clock night the session Of the House OF
Representatives brought sudden and unexpected
close. The iacou of few Of the prominent in
the minority had finally created such indignation among the
reasonable of their side and among the majority Of
the House. that Mr. Hunt of louisiana OF the opponents

Tennessee others Of his friends proposed the majority
that namuch he and those for whom he spoke did de-
sire be factous to embarrass the majority sasac-
tory arrangement would be made adjournment could be
had till to-day Colonel Richardson, the part of the
friends of the bill accepted the proposition, and bis
ton, the House adjourned till twelve o'clock to-day"
The error into which iell--not having been in the
House when Mr. Hunt spoke but guided by the information
Of who was land who il seems also mistaken -
was in upposng that Mr. Hunt had suggested adjourn

hctious to embarrass the majority lie observed in
referring to our article of yesterday:
al desire say that stigmazed opponents Of the bill
facous expressed indignation, either directly Or IN
directly, expressly BY Implication, against their course
As this is the material fact Of the case desire 70 say
that did charge Mr. Hunt with stgmatizng the OF
