pudent piece of humbusgery, without
even a justifable tradition to justify its

United States who can tell the name of
the man who represents his district in
! the convention, and winds up by hoping
that Congress will take some action to
kill it. r9 -s.

The House Of Representatives voted
to censure Long of Cincinnati, Ohio, for
the reasonable speech he made in the
House short time since, yeas so Union
lists, nays 50 Copperheads and Frank
Blair. The House also voted to ccnsure
/ Harris of Maryland, for a reasonable
speech made in defence of Long. II is
stated that Harris will resign, as his dis
