remarks:

or the next two years. His title will be
Honorable Henry 81. Sibley."
zen are we called upon to admire the in
irony the New York Tribune contrives
lvey by a few we'll chosen words, in

S enlightened many minds touching the

SIBLEY's honor!
Ohm W. NoRTH's speech in the regular
stitutional Convention, was perfect eye
ner on this point.
herein he shows Mr.. SHELLEY up, as, few
before the Convention assembled, de-
ncing to him the idea of admitting dele
IS from Pembiaa; and then he exhibited the
rise of the coin: Mr.. SHELLEY only few
after the session of the Convention COM

Nor did his speech in reply to Mr.. NORTH
which he equivocated and quibbled out of

IN truth, the few awkward speeches-he's

She was quaker,
She wouldn't dance
But she would-ab!"
Amongst other peculiarities of action in

: he treated Judge SHERBURNE, a gentle
