nu intention OF employing it for offensive pur-
poses i'll the House; ie also observed thu: it

for Northern mcn to be ready tn protect them

drowned by! tile sounding din.
Several short speeclrs followed alter quiet

szIf constituted caucus with the opposition ele'
uspts they must take the responsibility lie de-
cliiA,d to share it. Gov McKae would remind
the Eentlrman that he had introduced his reso.

members raped "potato bung.l'"lc Clark" as
lie is calieu, over The knuckses. They see
sec that the pit he di.gcd, is more likely to burr

that liz was about to have dirulg"s ,xhnt trans
rirc1 ut tile Anti-Leconlpton caucus held III Pill
adeiphiu the week betorc ts1: meeting OF Cou-

with IIaskiu, Schwartz, and Hickman to yotc for

tion that the friends Of the latter would support
Forncy for Clerk Of the House, which hey are
perfectly willing 10 do. And there were other
things that trals;ireI at that Philadelphia cau-
Gus which Alr. CLARK does mol want known. lie
has acted part that has surprised his enemies
and mortified iis friends, and las ulade himself
tic laughing stock Of the House. The common
gossip IS, his father-in laws Immense mil coll
tracts arc the disturbing magnets which cause

believed that Commodore Vanderbilt ls]ds the
House ut dead lock, cld has the power to or

is e1avitating buck to the Administration rauks
