o: Indiana. on Public Buildings;--I
Fitch, Of Indiana. on Printing; Lane.
Of Oregon, on Engrossed Billa;-I
Haun, Of California, on Enrollet
Bills. These last members, although
from free states. are rabid ndminis-
tration Democratic, who go rs far as
the isrthest in advancing Southern
interesta. Just look at it. The
Chairman Of every important com
mittee is from the South. Take for
example the committee on Foreign
Relations, on Commerce, on Military
Affairs, on Naval Affairs, on Judi
ciary, on Postofiices, on Public
Lands, OH Indian Affairs, on Terri
tories, and on the District of Co.
lumbia, every one undor the control
Of the South, thus giving that section
the control OF all legislation. Srn
stOr Douglas, with all the eff''rts Of
nis injudicious Illinois friends in the
Iluuse to secure him the favor of the.
South, 10 again placed in q subor
dinate position; and yet with all this
snubbing, with all these insults
hesPed uI on him, his supporters from
his own State in the House, pledge
themselves to support the nominee
If the Charleston Convention, no
matter who he may be, nor on what
plstiorm he stands. How we'll this
attempt to transfer the honest anti
Lecomp,onites to the pro-slavery
wing Of the party will succeed, re-
mains to be SEN.
