already chosen. will constitute f,So thirds Of
the senate, can they reasonably hope or cH-
pcct Mr.. Reeds election Il would be sur
l,aik to that gentleman, except in the con-
tinccncy We shall directly notice, 80 far as
the gubcrnatorial question is concerned.
Have we not demonstrated that in the sim
gle tof filing the Senatorial vacancies, the
friends Of Mr. Reed have Il in their power
to make Mr.Rc,d's election moroiosrioiniy,
on the other hand probable defeat. We
would not by this suggestion bc understood
as claiming or asking anything Cor the Re
publican party. They neither ask or expect
anything, at tn hands Of the incoming
State Administration. We merely throw
out these ideas for the consideration Of Mr..
Ec,,l and bis special friends.
but in prosecuting this inquiry we pro-
cccd step further, and make suggestion
upon another point.
Now surprising the Senate vacancies
should b. filled ~ the Democratic candi-
dates, the friends Of Mr. Rccl in the House
still have it in their power iomake him GOV.
c-nor. This can he exercised in the sclcc-
ton OF candidates 10 De sent to the Senate.
The Republicans will probably vote to send
up Morrill, and Rccl now, Il the whig' in
the House roir rHh than. thcs, two gentle
men will 20 into the senate, aud we scr no
reason why tins would not insure the clcc.
ton or Mr. Red. The democrats in the
senate would elect Rccl in preference 20
Morrill,. There can d. no sort Of doubt
about thi. This can hc done without any
compromises with tho Republicans Of the
lIous'. flr IS men or principle they will
take their stand independent u any other
party, anil while they will carry cut the
wi,hc. Of the $1,000 who ,0,cl f,r their
standard lsarcr at the polls, 10y voting 20
send lir TO the Senate, they will with equal
consistency select another candidate from the
li... who j. least Questionable 70 thcirrnriy
and i,s principles. The friends Of Mr. ReCd
have it in their power 10 cut down Mr.. Nor
rill in the House aud rrfus, 20 scoi him o.
the senate, or they can vote 10 sani him up
and thereby in this way secure the Gnal

The Republican. in tie legislature win

Should Mr. Reed come into thc GuheruatY-

they form no ALLIANCE, or Illusions "
with the Republicans; they merely embrace
an opportunity oarrl, 70 be- true 70 their
own candidate, and Tor the aid rendered by
the friends Of Mr. Morrill, they are asked no
consideration.
It's true that the l." Liquor law " qucs-
ton in the late election placed the strait
whi., and Republicans in antasonisucal 20
.iiions with each other but the people Of
the State have placed that question in the
hands Of the friends Of Mr. Reed and JUDGE
Wells, and they have it in their power to
dispose Of i, as they please. That ought to
he satisfactory to Mr.. Reeds friends, and
and because the wings and Republicans have
and DO diler upon this single question, that
is no rcasou why they should not hereafter
agrrs in fvorins other questions, upon which
there is no substantial difference Of opinion
