touching our Legislature. While reading

taken the place of both, and such, no
doubt, has been the feelings of thousands
of the loyal people of our State
When the people send these Represen-

pect them, especially in perilous times like
the present, to conduct::the legislative pro-
ceedings in such a manner, at least as
would call forth the admiration of their
trends, if not :he respect of their enemies.
They are expected to know that the loyal
people of a whole State are looking at
them TO put forth their energies in every
available way to help crush this internal
rebellion. They are expected, also, to know
that the eyes of all the loyal States are
upon them, and that the rebels are not
asleep. a.ss
