Inc. Un'on discusses "The Balance Of
fower and Congress Of Sovereigns," and the
position of the United States with reference
to the European powers at this time.
The Intelligence says of the proposition
offered yesterday by Mr.. Whitney
1t is much to be regretted, we think, that
the proposition moved BY Mr. Whitney did

question is ever to be settled, members should
make up their minds to let the strongest sue.
coed, and with that view yield to any plan Of
fairly testing the true relative strength of men
and parties; throw tactics away, and, by a
declaratory resolution, try whether any and
which member can unite a majority of the
House in his favor"
