Will Whttneid Sa Admitted
Since the Presidential election has
been decided, the Republican presse.
orc at the dirty work OF faction breed
ing, and advise the present House II
Representatives to sink thensel'er
deeper in an oblivion OF shame than
they did in the las, Congress BY Their
then revolutionary movements ~ OBJ
struct aud prevent the passage OF the
Army Bill, and other measures "ee".-
cary to carry on the government. Con
scions of speedy loss OF power, the Re
publican majority OF the House may
desire to revenge thcmsci,e s by acts 81
infamy, deeper and dcadlier than any
which covered them with disgrace IN
the last Session.
II will be remembered that '"n.
Whitfield was sen, 10 the House rs
Kansas Delegate last year, ami dat
feeder contested his scat The Black
Republican, refused seat, t" both " Int
field and Recder, when Whitfield was
clearly entitled H. his seat \ ne"
election has been holden IN Kansas
Oct. 9TH, aud the Freedom Shrlckera
advised the Free Stale men not /" vote.
Acting upon this advice, the eIeeii"i
was legally holden. and carried b. de-
fault, and almost unaninonsly III ts'"r
Of Whitfield. Still we sec the Triban'
grayely advises the Republicans mol t"
sdmi, Whitfield a, Delrgat, WI,
is this advice given. and wh' ia" out
rage upon Gen. Whitfield Thr4' T.
now no prctcnsc Of an illeca! election
on illegal votes having been p"'i'"'.
Such shameless, advice y al evidence
Of the basc,t spirit ot faction. and It t"i-
lowed, will sink the Republican par
" out of sight in the waters 81 ohh'-
ion.
!. s. Since writing the ab",r w.
have received ,.lceraph:c report sta
ting that on the opening 81 ,hr li"d~'
the question Of Whi,icids admission
TO his seat came up. and owing IT, all
sentccs of the Democratic members
Whitfield was rejected b, vote OF
l0i To- AZ \ motion Ia reconsider
was made bs Mr. Grow and carried. and
when the absentees arrive h. will y"
doubt be admitted t. hi, seat, The
Americans voting with the Democrats.
So we have the full assurance TIA, the
wretched Black Republicans OF the
House are determined to carry ont
their factional movements. 10 clog N,
wheels Of government, keep ur the az
itation, and cover themselves with IT,,
fanny. But their time for ,'ninr mis-
chief will end with the rleSeut session
and the people OF the whole Union
will offer mp thanksgiving and praise.

all beholders, Mrs. Hacv Stonc) Black

unanimously elected President Of the
meeting. Lucy was married about
one year since, and her former cola
eorers supposed that the bowers Hof
love would work change in the feel
'ngs Of the charming Lucy, and pre-
vent her again taking the stump a

But no such thing. Lucy is not salts

York to preside over tina, dignifed
body Of petticoat spouters. called the
Women's Rights Convention. Then

Rose, and Miss Anthony-all of whom

had been more bountifnl in the hestow-
ment Of her charms upon their saffron
skins!

OF . scheme for unsexing the female
kind, and placing them upon level
