coming cout,st IN Virginia" and "the
election of Colonel Rddleherger to u
r sponsible Office in this body" That is
me true cause OF all this contention, and
II grins through the gossamer rhetoric
with which tn" Senator from Massachu>
setts has decked it. The coming polilicat
contest in Virginia is the thing for which
this Senate IS here held inactive and pre-
vested FROM performing the axated func-
tons with which is is clothed by the Con-
stitutiOn and for which it has been con.
yoked 10y tie Chief Magistrate Of thp
nation; that you, the republican Senators.
may organize this Senate of the United
States With reference TO the interests Of
party campaign in the Stats of Virginia
This ayowal of the Senator from Penn
sylvania furnishes the confirmation, Il
confirmation were needed, OF the state
ment which | have made that This is a
movement to ally the republican part
with any body If men which will leave
'the party OF reaction" as it is called,
and come into its embrace, no nauet

OF repud alton or rradi1simrnt whcheypi
term gentlemen may prefer. DO no
mean To say that he republican party
means to adopt this docliue Itself aille
the contrary, But do mean to say tha
they intend to treat ii as a subordinate
Issue and no hinderauce to their alliance

the Offices Of this body NJ on men who ar
accredited by the leading republican
journals OF therountty with allegiance To-
this doctrine. notwithstanding they may
