COOKING DOWN L LITTLE.
There Is 1ull to-day in the political storm.
The Democrats, not having broken ground
on any new measure Of revolution or seces-
sion, everything moves on more easily and
smoothly Some Of the Democratic leaders
became alarmed yesterday at the attitude Of
the Republicans. The latter made up their
minds to submit to no further outrages upon
The Governor, or upon the Administration at
Washington. They will submit to no usurpa-
tion upon the rights Of tho former, and no
rebel movements against the Latter.
The preamble and resolutions Of Vandeyeex,
which sent you yesterday, learn arc the
sentiments Of the majority Of the Democracy.
Now it is plain to any candid reader that such
sentiments condemn the coercion policy of
the Administration in toto; condemn Doug
las and all those Democrats who pledged
themselves to the principles laid down in his
last great speech ut Chicago condemn every
man, Democrat or Republican, who was in
any way engaged in The war, or. gave it any
kind Of countcnancc and support In fact
the resolutions are not only treason to the
country, but treason to the past action Of the
Democrrtic party in the North.
Seeing that break up WIS inevitable should
euch resolutions pass, the Democrats who
have some pretty good sizcd financial axes
to grind in this Legislature, rushed around
like men bcrcft of reason. You could see
them on al1 quarters and corners buttonholine
members, and With right arms uplifted beg
ging Of them, for God sake to hold on and
not bring matters to a crisis, at least until
their bills or appropriations had passed. ]

For man Of his weight he certainly moved
around quite lively. also noticed IL very

case. He will leave the Senate, have heard

think, however, that those having some
very pressing financial arrangements before
the Legislature, have for 4 time succeeded il

for time, however, and if tho Republican,
