THE PEOPLES CONTEMPT.
The explanation offered by the
Southern Repeal Democrats have
only aroused the peoples contempt,
but not satisfied with the irreparable
injury they have wrought they would
insult the intelligence Of til" people
by puerile palliation OF their

WHAT MAY HAPPEN.
They have made plain to the c0un-
try their purpose to repeal the Sher-
man law-even at the experience Of
esta blishing a clOture rule. They
have shown every llnpatience at de
lay and have expressed a readiness to
vote on the repeal bill at any time.
