RUBBfE0 THEIR EYEa--The Soft papers are
sadly puzzled to know what the election of
Beverley Tucker Printer to the Senate, means.
The job, which the Administration could not
control. is worth $4,000! A large sum this to
fall into the hands Of such q tormenting Hard
as Tucker. There must be very decided feel
| ing against the Administration. with number
of National Democrats. to impel them to take
such stand. Nowonder the Soft papers begin
! to feel anxious. They were marvellonsly tick
led when Bronson was dccapitated; but their
faces elongate the other way at fuckers cleo
ton. What will they say. should Redfcld not

Hards in the election of Printer, we note the

ccutlve officer, requiring the confirmation of the
