Csrnsy ksving received 6S votes. (bs-
ing more than two-tbirds Of the whole
Lssisla,ure.) was declared elected amid
tbunders Of applause. At the same time.
a 24-pounder cannon in kent Of the Csp-
itol Buildinss, commenced booming in.
hsnor Of the event, and fred thirteen
rounds. Some diseonsolste Lsueite had
by some aeans gained entrance to the
Congregational Church. and tolled the
believe presume. ~ the "Glim Chief
tain's" death-knell.
The 80 members who declined to vote,
did so upon the ples thst this was not
the proper time. and that they had no
instructions from their constituents to
bring on an election at this season; but
they were not all Lane men. BY any
means. Notwithstanding the boast oi
Lanes strikers. at the commencement ol
the session. that Carney could only mus.
ter ten supporters in the whole Lsgisls-
turs, We do not believe that Lane can
muster over that number Of followers in
said body. Even some "fthe most bitter
opponents Of an election, emphatically
denied, in the Convention. thst they we're
friends Of Lane. but that they were still
opposed to him.
The entire South E. Esstern delegation,
representing the region that has suffered
through Lanes sslhshness voted for Car.
nsy. The Northern Tier did the same.
with ths exception Of Messrs. Bennett,
Orsm, and Brumbsugh. These three
gentlemen were no doubt actusted by
concisntious motives. The whole dele.
cation. at the opening Of the session.
were averss to an election. They did not
doubt its legality. for that had been clear
ly proven BY the Lane papers themselves:
but it was wholly question Of propristy
and policy. But mjority Of the North
srn members considered the question long
and thoroughly. in all its bearing. They
remembered how Lane had repeatedly
sold out their interests; how the whole
State was being disgraced and injured
through his influence; and how he had
determined upon the election this Winter.
until he found he was in hopeless min
ority. when he raised the howl of fraad; ;
then thsy determined to administer sIg.
nal rsbuks. s.a
The Lane papers and strikers will raise
the hswl of fraud from one end of the
State to the other, and endsavor to
commit the people to their sinking cause.
No doubt. under the pressure. many per,
sons will denounce the election, who. up
on calmer view, would approve of it.
Let Us say to all. keep cool. A reaction
will come: facts will be laid before you.
that will convince you Of the propristy,
legality. and necessity Of the proceeding;
and the result will show you that . ma
jority of the members were right. Do
rot be led astray by the dismal howls Of
the Lnneites. IN the 6rst paroxysms Of
their disappointment.
