VICE ' VERsA.-The election of Senator

will remind the public of his witty,
spirited and very independent way of
defining his status last summer ut Turn

undergone it split, as the result Of !,
family difficulty; and Il portion OF the
delegates adjourned from the Custom
House IT, the Turner's Hall. where very
free expression of sentiment was intlulg-
ed. Among the delegates was Pinch
back, who. in the course Of a spirited
address, remarked:
I have been playing second fdlle long
enough. / want it clearly understood that I'm
not a Warmoth man. nor Dunn man. nor u
Carter man. IfFm g"ing to be in the orchestra,
