family had not spoken out This omission is supplied
and in justice to Mr. Etheridge and the Herald we copy

Mr. Etherdge resolution and the vote it, the fourth
member of the black-republican family proceeds;

such things happen the green tree what may we not

stop this sectional fuss and fury and nonsense about

There is the same attempt here to misrpesent the posi-
ton of the members who voted against Mr. Etherdges
resolution that made by the Post The sympathy be-
tween the Post and Herald is remarkably close Both OF
them omit notice the passage by vote of ls6 to OF
Mr. Orrs resolution and both of them seek to make the
impression that the fyeven votes against Mr. Ether
dges resolution in favor of the revival of the slave trade
and both of them had conclusive evidence before them that
such an impression would be false. The Heralds humia-
on however palpabe from the fact that its views
