~ Congress is now in session, and
already the copperhesds under the
lead Of Emerson Etheridge. are show.
ing their usual hypocrisy and spirit
Of 6lli.bustering. Schuyler Collar
has been unanimously nominated 10 the
Administration Caucus, for Speaker,
and would hsve been elected in the
House. but for the ruling Of Etheridge,
who, acting as clerk. has rsled out the
delegations from Vermont, New Hamp-
shire. Connecticut, Massachusetts,. Vir.
ginia. Maryland. California, and Ore
gon, on the ground that the certif.
Gates Of their elections are informal
This trick is worthy the palmiest days
OF Locofocoism. Its infamy is al the
more apparent from the TACT that the
delegations from New York, Ohio, To-
diana, and Illinois, all of which are
largely eopperhesd. were notified Of
Etheridge's design in time to have their
certificates prepared in accordance with
his ruling.
Last Saturday morning, holders Of
the rejected certificates we're notified Of
their informality, but not in time to
cure the defect. But the trick, whilst
IT win damn Rtberidgs forever in the
eyes Of honest loyal men, will not serve
the turn Of the copperheads. Colfsx
will be triumphantly elected over Sam.
Cox. The Session bids fair to be q
stormy one, and will prove the last to
many q copperbead.
