To PREVENT legislation on appor.
tionmcut, the rcyolutioni-ts Of tho

last novelty of this kind was the de.
termination in caucus that twcnty-one

day, and 80 continue to adjourn semi.
weekly. No speeches are to be per
mitted on either side, and no PROPOSE
ton or resolution Of any kind is to be
entertained, while nine senators are
to be allowed to q home alternately.
This IS undoubtedly a beautiful pro-
gramme for representatives under oath
to perform certain duties, and is pro-
badly about a. fair a specimen of
revolutionary chicane as the rcprcsen-
tatives of the &. 0. p. in Pennsylvania

Cameron that "gerrymander" must be

The cost of each OF them given above
