tons, on portions of some other reports, There
have been very few party votes. Every SUBJECT
involving Whist has been supposed to be Democratic
principles has met with response from b0th par
ties. As q general rule, the Democrats have sus-
tanned the more hunkerish view. ANY leaning 20
the popular side on their part have failed to dis
cover. One or two of their number have stood

cratic issues, but the issues of the majority OF them

the conclusion that the lion and the lamb might,
after all be able to lie down together, when this
hope was dispelled by the Introduction OF the fol-
lowipp by a distinguished Democrat of Leayeu-
worth, Nlr. NeDowall, and Il Democratic party
was at once developed by aparty vote, upon II:
