The special message Of the President 10 the House
day created, instanter, tremendous sensation bill
had been introduced by Mr. Fcnton providing the
tement Of revolutionary claims and covering three
four millions Of dellars and bill from the Judiciary
Committee had been reported covering I've millions for
the settlement Of American claims arsng from French
hi,
for the admission Of Kansas into the Union had also
reported and briefly discussed and all without raisiug
percepble ripple upon the surface Of the dead Of
House. 1t had settled down into the monotouous and
drowsy routine Of unlimited session. when the reading
Of the Presidents message .waked up the sleepy
bers Of the body quite eectuay the apparion Of
Oliver Cromwell walked up the "Long Parliament of
two hundred years ago.
Had this bombshe been expected the galleries Of the
House would have been resd with the muttudes which
attended the exciting contest for the Speaker but this
message was surprise The people had expected nothing
Of the kind and thus the attendance the galleries was
limited to the Few hundreds drawn In by the ordinary
ceediDgs Of the body.
The reading Of the message was listened to With pro-
Of ,oq ds.vs
TO regard u with something Ike contempt
The excited and exciting discussion which followed
but the prelude TO that which Is 10 come. The issue
raised by the President Is one Of the highest moment All
parties feel 1t to be All admit IT, and all recognise il
calling for the profoundest consideration and the ex
ercile Of the greatest oonsttutona Abilities We have no
doubt that the Judiciary Committee Opposition Majority
70 which the subject has been referred Hickman chair
man will make an early report protesting against this
protect Of the President, and then shall have debate
which will live In history a. one Of the most remarkable
IN the annals OF this government
Mr. Secretary CObb's withdrawal fecm the list OF a.
prants Tor the Jharleston nomination gives much
speculation here among the politicians Of all parties
Some ray that M Cobb has discovered tha, be has no
chance some that having taken his position Secretary
OF the Treasury in opposon TO the views Of the President
the tariff question: Mr. Cobb has discovered tina. his
own nomir alton would be tho abandonment Of Pennsy
vana, New Jersey, and all the manufacturing States in
Se n ION he retire:
considers the Convention very doubtful lottery he does
not desire his name 70 stand in the way Of the of
South In 1851 Mr. Cobb was elected Is the Union purity
candidate OF Georgia for Governor, In opposition to The
seushern rights democracy, and they remember it. In
party o. the State IN the Baltimore Convention against
the claims Of the Cobb democracy but the latter were
eracousy recognised a: good democrats nevertheless
and thus the reunion Of the Georgia democracy
cured. From that day 10 this however, the Southern
rights wing Of the party in Georgia have come TO
his withdrawal from the Presidential list a.sef sacrificing
act for the rake OF democrats harmony In Georgia.
The example OF Mr. Cobb will be followed 10 the Con-
venon by every other Southern Presidential candidate
the moment he convinced that he the man for
the crisis that he stands the way Of the harmony OF
the IRE eaters have laid aside for the me ali their
