Tuesday and Wednesday of last
week awakened the patriotic senti-
ment of the Republican members to
such an extent as to bring forth the
adoption of the following Joint reso-
luton, which it is said had its incep-
ton and was constructed at the re-
porters' table in the house,
Whereas the joyful tidings have reached
us that the state of New York and the me-
