The Slats Senate.

We invite especial attention TO the siaie-
ment prepared by The Democratic members
of the Senate, for sairy on the journal, de.
fining aud vindica,ing, as it does most effec-
lnally, the position which they have taken
with regard 10 the organization To Re-
pnblicans it will no: signify mnch that the
precedeRts of seventy years are agains,
them but TO those who wish 10 ge, at the
real merits of the controversy, we commend
the fact, that from 1894 down TO The present
day There has never been an occasion upon
which an outrage like that which the Re-
pubiicans are striving 10 accomplish has
been attempted. We take it for granted
that Judge Advocate KNOX, was not familiar
with the well established usage of the Sens
ante. when he volunteered his opinion, but
with the exception OF his 7rodered advice,
there is not shadow OF authority for the
course which The Abo;itonists have chosen
to adopt. ]; may be that il is because The
law is against them that they have chosen
the policy that they have but we are glad
10 be able to assure our readers tha: their
solved 10 do their duiy, and that unless the
factonisIs will abandon their unjust and
unreasonable demands, there will be no or
ganzsion of the Senate until new Sena-
tor is elected. AT caucus held on We'd
nesday evening, the Democratic members
OF The House unanimously adopted The fol-
lowin resoIotion
RsSolred That the Democratic members
OF the House OF REPRESENTATIVES, represents
ing upwards of 254 900 Democrats of the
State, approve OF the course OF The Demo-
cratic Senators in their vindication OF their
constitutional rights, against the usurpa-
lions OF the Republican Senators, and that
they trust they will adhere IN their course
until the Senate is organized in a constiiu-
tional manner, and in accordance with the
precedenls OF the Senate for seventy years.
