~ a Radical paper in Penn
sylvania pays the following tribute
| to the lately defunct Radical legis-
lature of that State: ssWith
heavy hearts and sorrowing coaln-
tenances they bent their steps
from the scene of their debauch-
cry, and after casting long, I'm
Igering look upon the venerable
capitol, they plodded homeWard
to meet their constituents..ssI
watched them file out like semany
condemned criminals marching to
their fate, and it was painful to re.
fect that those who, could go
home.Mith the .hepe.of f.being wel-
coined with approval by their peo-
pie were exceptions to the rule.

State was such a depth of deera4
dation attained by any similar
body, and so STAINLESS have they
been that men, women and chill
dren point to them as blistered
monuments Of debauchery. They
haveigone to gtheir last account
with the people, and may God
have mercy on them, for the peo-

treated with the same gentleness

andtwist him ultimately round
her littlel finger; whereas the
young lady who is, hasty, and in
too great hurry, viii never get a
lover to take her hand, but be
left with nothing but her finger
ends. Tisd1 hamiGEo d5Elsw ,ssgb
