member desiring to carry his point, and
become influential !; yet he is young. his
ardor may cool somewhat. and be may
yet become very useful member. He
is theresoguized author of the celebrated
Resumption Bill in the House and yet,
on examination, Ross, name is scratched
off the bill and Hale'sinserted, and that
seems to be the only differences in the
bills. He adyocates iss passage with zesi;
and sometimes ii seems with more of that
article than OF another equally Important
desideratum in speaker, discretion. r..
His singular position that he will have
that or nothing" weakens the cause Of
the actual settlers, and may ruin the
claims of those poor men who cry for
help: but Hale is pleasant gentleman,
and perhaps may rise above thelfog and
stand equal to many who are his seniors

Captain johnson, of Clark, who is inn
mortalized by being the author Of the
bill to protect and encouragstthe breed
ing Of dogs-the bin chat passed through
the House in about fifteen minutes, and.
canas very near getting Its author into
trouble. This making in the dog question.
is asfous business for legislators The
