UNJUST TO THE OPPOSITION.

The New York Daily Times of Friday last
remarked
I" 1t is impossible to predict the result of this
insbrOgtt0 We do not know whether Penning.
ton, of New Jersey, is Conservative enough to
satisfy the friends of Fuller, or Radical enough
for the taste of that recent and specially Jealous
Anti-Slavery convert, John Wheeler. But he
is a man ,oho ought to be satisfactory to all the
opponents Of the Nebraska bill. There is little
prospect however, that either he or any other
man will be taken up, while personal feelings
and paltry .jealousies are GLlo,ced so much
aceight.
ave can scarcely expect any usited and pa
triotic action during the session, from body
Of men aCiO ecince so little derotiOn TO tie pub
lie good as the Opposition hare thus far shoicn
We presume that no party has a working ma
jority in the House. The session is likely,
therefore, to be spent in factious wrangling, as
discreditable to the parties as it is TO the coun
try"
This is somewhat remarkable, coming from
a reputed Republican journal. Mr.. Penning
ton is doubtless perfectly satisfactory" to the
Times, but we suppose the Anti-Nebraska mem
bers should be allowed to judge for themselves
who is satisfactory" to them. We have rea
son to believe that it is this glimmering of hope
held out for Mr.. Pennington that has prevent
ed the choice of Mr.. Banks.
The attack of the Times upon the body Of
the Opposition is ungracious and unjust. Put

PLATFORMS AND PUBLIC PRINTERS.

There has been some trouble in the ranks Of

about platform, and the election of printer
The Senator from Georgia has introduced
resolutions in caucus on Slavery, after the
Georgia pattern, intended to form the platform
Of the Hunkers but thus far they meet with
some opposition. Some Of the Northern breth-
rem would prefer not being committed just
now.
The contest for the printing of the Senate is
carried on between the Union, the organ of
the Administration, and the Sentinel, the organ
properly of the HarJs'' Both have friends,
and 1t is difficult TO reconcile their opposing
claims. We hope the Republican members of
the Senate will set their faces against the mis-
chievous usage of employing political editors
as public printers. The relation is one which
ought not to exist. There are excellent honest
printers in Washington, having no proprietary
or editorial connection with the newspaper
press. Why not select printer from this

THE NATIONAL ERA: WASHINGTON, D. c. DECEMBER 90 1855

able to present such a narrative to the readers
Of the Era.
A distinguished writer, in letter recently
addressed to US, remarks:
"Ten years are finished, this month, since the
annexation of Texas. 1t is one great complete
act of the national drama. 1t comprises the
beginning and quasi elimination of political
epoch. The events of ten years, while they are
remembered by people in general, Except the
most recently made voters, in different features
and combinations, make a mass, not properly
arranged and grouped by most minds without
some study or some help. The election crisis,
which is also upon us, makes it important to
have them understood in their details and mu-
tual bearings. | have meditated a series of
(say) dozen or fifteen papers, each to occupy
about a column and half in the Era to com
prise rapid and ESQ far as can make it sol a
lively and readable sketch of this period, to be
published once week during the first three or
four months of the coming year, when the pub
lie mind will be peculiarly receptive on the
subject The interest, if they had any, would
of course strengthen as they came down to the
most recent events"
A more important series Of papers for the
times could not be written, and the reader need
hardly be told that we shall spare no pains to
induce our able correspondent to carry out his
project.
