Personally We are opposed to the ad-

necessary under the law of Congress re.

ssa0h Wednesday night next. the joint

1bersarer about unanimous for Gov. Chase,
but, .asfbefore stated in former letters,
there are q few who were elected BY Re
.publieaEn. votes who are opposed to him.
AZ the earnest, appeal of these gentle.
men. the nomination was postponed un-
iii the tinsenamed, with the distinct nn-
derstanding that they would then unite
with the majority and abide the result.
M heper they will redeemtheir pledges,

now given out that these pledges were were
only given as zritss and to gain time IN for
the purpose Of defeating the majority.
We can hardly .belieHeo this,sbut'Wea-

80 = s ) Secured Uniting ahtEii with the
emocrafs, can accomplish. the purpose.
We do not think that mere than, ,thteeior

learn BY the latest teegraphiic news $ that
the Republicans are about to Withdraw
Shermsh, and concentrate on Penning-
ton of New Jersey. This, we think, a.
great blunder:. : Pennington. is no doubt
a good; man and would make a good
SpeAker,a but no one 4pretends that
he is in amy respect the superior of Sher-
man 9A.id TO abandon Sherman now
seems s & To @ us to be. not only wrong to
him, after the unmeasured yillifcation
which has been poured upon him daily
for nearly two months, but bad policy as
we'll. He lacks but three votes, Of d
clear majority over all the factions, and
sitseemsto. us that the Republicans onght
ito stand by him, and let the majority
Unite and elect STAKEHOLDER if they can.
Still, if Pennington can be elected we
shall rejoice that the disgraceful scene
