to one Senate in that redundantly gov
ernsd State, pieces out quorum, and
does average work as a iouTneyInsn
lawmaksr. To morrow he skips over
TO the rival Senate, bereaves the form
er body Of quorum, swells ,ie latter
up to its full numerisl complement,
and exudes more law. Thus, by in
dustrious Sea saving, the vibratory

the Son hern White Republicans.
What be will attempt TO do il 10 pacify
tie South ,yithout sacrificing any
cla-s or any principle. The attempt
is in sympathy with the wish Of the
Republican party, and the policy will
receive a hearty and generous support
go long as circumstances prove It's
praeticability."
