the Republicans could lose much ard
could gain nothing. 1t would be far
better to let the Virginia Senators vote
with the Democrats if they eLosc, and
it is safe to say that the latter would
profit no more by the accession than
the Republicans would by trying TO pre-
vent it. SO far as the future Of the Re-
publican party is concerned, IL would
be a good riddancc." Lively times
arc ahead, in and out Of Congress.
