House and 80 save Beacon and Park streets from
the dreadful sight Of Mann and Webster in sucn
intimate conjunction. The two branches sre still
az issue on this question: the Senate having struck
out the HOuse proyiso by vote OF % 10 l. and the
House insiitiDg by > majority. A Conference
Committee will probably be appointed, and .he
resolve viii pass without the proylso OF Will go
over 10 the next Legislature. II is, no doGb., eI-
pecied that the DistrIc. School excitement Will
throw into the next Leg stature : considerable
number Of men who viii oppose the statue, be-
cause Of Mr. Nanns great services in the cause OF
education. But think this is a mistake. The
moment an issue is made in the Republican party
between the Conservatives and Progre.syes, the
former will 90 to the wall with great suddenosss.
As soon as the people find out Tbs. the present
Legislature is disposed 10 follow the cOunsels OF
Caleb Gushing and George Lunt Oh question OF
this character they will apply the proper remedy.
in spite Gen. Buffers pteous appeals that he
may not be compelled % train along SIDE OF q
bigger, both branches of the Legislature have
struck the word white out Of the Militia law.
The General Numbered and lighened in the Senate,
beside brandi.hng old Brown of Osawatamie, aad
irving to irs hten people with him, but hs got only
two Senators TO 20 with MIN. suppose the nen-
beers thought, in case Of an invasion, by Gov.
Wise at the head of the Shepherdstown and Mar
tnsburg inyncibles, and the uncertainty whether
Gen. Butler would not De compelled, on national
and Democratic grounds, 10 transfer his allegiance
from the Commonwealth, and tender his services
to the Governor of Virginia, il would be We'll 10 be
prepared With few regiments OF reliable black
recruits. The people do not seem al all alarmed
at the suggestion that admitting the black man will
destroy the whole military organization OF the
State, il being the general impression Inst We
should get along very comfortably without it, and
save $40, coo year in taxes, which is no small
matter.
an sorry TO say that there lie split ia the
Democratic psrty OF the Win Congressional Die
trct Two sets of delegates have been chosen TO
The Charleston Convention, John /. Heard and
J. c. Lovejoy by the Custom House party, and
b. f. Hallett and Cornelius DoheTty BY the other
side. This split was commenced BY one Of the
rival delegations splitting open the door OF the ball
and entering ri arms, that is, with stroog arms
and stronger breaths. Which side is 10 the right,
AIN unable TO say 1t is hard to Imagine that the
yirtucus Halett should give couDteoance to any
i regulsr proceedings; sud am equally reluctant
to think that the patriotic Loveoy should encour-
age scbismatic spirit. Let the matter be con-
promised, and Hallett and Loyejoy be admitted. |
They are both equally sound on the goose now,
though both original AbOlitionsts. / have seen it
hlnted that LovejOy of the ShsdrGck res |
cuers, and Halett defended Garrison when all the |
responsibility Of Boston was down upon him. AT |
this With District Convention Sidney Webster pre-. |
sided, and made speech, which showed him not
TO have lost any of his eminent qualifications for
the office of scullion in the Democratic kit:hen at
Collector Austin has turned out Of
office an Irishman Mooney by name, who went |
v it'll the Haett party against the Custom-House |
gang.
