Aessrs. Edisors:-In my last letter !
mentioned the fact, that an adjourned
session" had been decided upon. The
proceedings in this matter were more hui
initiating than | had ever dreamed OF, and
was prepared 10 see the slaves of party
sioop rery low, but was not quite prePar-
ed to hear men, who a few days ago, had
mode strong arguments to prove this same
measure unconstitutional, that they had
taken a solemn oath TO support the con-
stitution, and they could not, nor would
not, vote for such a measure, One man
in particular, went so far as to pronounce
all the laws passed by the last adjourned
sessiuuy unconstitutional, because the ses-
siok was so. He, (Mr. Andrews,) one
week ago, could see no necessity for ad-
joarning OVERHEAD pledged himself on
The stump, 10 his constituents, to oppose
every thing of the kind, and indeed, was
(for him, quite eloquent, in ~denouncing
The unconstitutional Black Republicans
for a total disregard of their oaths and
the constitution. in holding an adjourned
secession.
This gentleman very gravely informed
The House, that he intended TO "stultify"
himself, that he should violate as solemnsn
oath as he had ever taken-ihat he would
90 what he expressly pledged himself to
the people not TO do-whai he now could
see no necessity for,doing, TAT leas; could
no. q week ago)-he Mould rote for an
adjourned session. And why2 "Because
The party that had made him what he
was" demanded it Of him. Mr.. Collins,
Mr.. Jackson, and others who had made
furions speeches against it, voted without
making any excuse, but as some Of them
expressed il, cit was the hardest dose they
had ever swallowed" and al this at the
behest of party. And 50 elated were
some of them al this triumph, that they |
must needs have a 'big drunk" al the
Mel House, to wind Up with, and if re-
port is true, the guests q, thai model IN
ssifution," were RECALLED with Emusic and
dancing" such as decent people would
not wish 10 hear, and few men would toll
crate in their houses. The fjllowing is
the vote on the adjourned session.
