hi. will never do and the p"mocra''c
member, ut the General Assembly >h"'''
have thi, important fact impressed upon
thcir rejoicing minds. They must be M
formed that IT, they attempt to takr'N''!-
thing they will get nothing and should
have nothing. The Republican, are wise
INTO their own salvation. and il the Dem
,..,,. ,uru the cold shoulder upon the
IuJ.ru,J,ut, they will take thrm I" their
onJ,r,,. Already the Rcpuhlicanirirnd-
-, Mr. 1ullom are attempting to secure

nj, do So h, giving the Independents the
Presidency ct the senate, II the p'''''-
cr,t. attempt to secure both that position

IN view oi all these considerations We
h,lir,c the Democrats should cour''ir the
Presidency OF the senate to the Indrpend-

turned hi back upon that party. lie
will not. it j. true. permit himself Ia be-
captured with all hi> munitions OF war

by them. but lac j. willing to meet them
and all other opponents of Republican
mi,rulc upon terms of perfect equality
lie i, the man for the hour, and his clcc-
ton ~ President of the senate
would do more than any other single a"
we can thiuk of to consolidate the oppo

We have said that Mr. Glas>tord /, i
e every way worthy of the position to
