bad adopted the pucrile AID childish
resolution 10 adjourn on the 9th o.
Apfilp Why had this tcen doue? Be-
eanse they were afraid of their c5nstit
uenfs, more than afraid of their oalhs
they had taken to labor for tie Interests
OF the State. For the purpose Of get.
ting a little cross roads popularity, one
man got up aud proposed an adjourn
ment; the next, not to be out-done in
cumming. got up and proposed an earlier
day. And nov, was this measure to be
thrust through against the opiLien of
the House previously expressed, without
any opportunity of examining the rea-
aons for the change?. Whichever he was
fully satisfied that the majority here
could be compelled to stultify themselves
By the dictate of a tin-pan, or W. or
three leaders. he should resign his scat,
for be would not have a part in the
farce which such a body would enact in
the face Of the people.

chat the banks had a great many friends
IN this House, but he still hoped the
