strongly Union that little difficulty
has been encountered In passing those
important measures which the exigen-
cies Of the times demand, OF course
the opposition has delayed action as
much MS possible by contesting to the
last almost every movement, and by
attempting such amendments. as would
be calculated either 10 defeat the opera
ton Of important acts, or to make them
excessively burdensome, and therefore
unpopular. Tho minority has been,
throughout, consistent with that Cop
perhoadism Of which ValIandigham is
the Champion, and in spite Of great eff
forts toward moderation, has constant
" betrayed the disloyal spiritby which
IT is actuated. p" '0'' '
