is said the Republicans will no. dare take the rospon

view of the election of Gen. Lane in the Senate. This
is assuming too much. There are men who act from
conscientious motives sufficiently strong to justify them
in the performance OF what they conceive 10 DC pre-
sent duty, content TO abide the consequences with
those who disagree with them. Ii it be such Gala nj

is plain think which would be the more culpable in
case where sixteen men refused to act with one, or
with sixteen, to prevent what both esteemed an
evil.
II il further urged in favor of this coalition that Bell
and Everett will carry more States than Breckenridge
and Lane and that if the election 60 to the House and
il fail to elect then the Senate will be compelled TO
choose between Everett and Hamin, in which event
Mr.. Everett would be elected. The CONCLUSION may oe
