at any time, whenever his vote would be
useful in organizing the House, for man
who entertained national and conservative
sentiments, let him belong to any party, but
there were members of the American party
who had not changed their votes. This was
the case presented day after day, when dem.
oerats were willing to abandon their caucus

select his successor.
BRABscS said that so far as lie YVES con-
cerned, be had fought the democracy from
lis cradle up, and expected to fight them
upon all great questions, except the Niger
question, as lOrg as he lived; but he never
had been in Know Nothing lodge, and be
S understood from his lips that Maynard
: had never been in one either.
Moore, (dem. of Ala, was for union
of all the elements Of opposition TO the re-
publican party, and therefore voted for
