You cannot dissolve your party ties, as we have

Those would-be leaders who we're formerly

endeavoring to rally their followers for Mr.
BUCHANAN, whilst those who were formerly
Wings are endearoring to draw up paryfOr
Mr.. FILLMORE. This body, appearances seem
to indicate, will not be formidable but what
ever there is of it, if anything, it is the inteF
ton to transfer in the end to Mr. BUCHANAN.
The parties as far as deemed prudent to actte
gether at the State elections, both generally
admitting that they care little which is elected
providing they can beat the Republicans.
Besides this they count on aid from the dr.
vision interest, which generally, but by no
means universally, went last fall for the Hunk

make said interest rather hunkerish, especial!
in the vicinity of Troy. There are neverthe'

CoNGREss.-We publish an account of a
scene in the Senate, in which DoUGLAs con-
Quoted himself in manner worthy of black
guard, but quailed when he found that he had
encountered men who did not fear him.
In the House, little has been done for some
time, except debate upon the reports from the
Committee on Elections, in regard to the Kan
sas contested case. The Southern members
are determined that nothing shall be done to
investigate the outrages upon property and the
ballot-box in that Territory, and they have ap-
pear to have their usual quota of Northern al
lies. The vote on the request for power to
send for persons and papers will probably be
taken within few days. We regard the re-
suit as very doubtful.
