LEGIsLATIvE CAUCUS Iwu-THIRDs
RULE.-Ir it is now reduced to a certainty
that the democratic party will be largely
in the ascendancy in the next l4egisa>
lure of this State. The number Of as
pirants for Senator, coupled with the
zeal with which they are urged by their
respective friends, have, It is believed by
some, rendered it impraclicable to make
2 proper selection without some party
action previous to the ballottnos OF the
Legislature. If a CAUCUS Be. resorled to
for the purpose Of harmonizing The de,
mocracy upon one of the aspirants, we
think the TWo-THIRDS RULE should be
adopted. A bare minority will not, in
our opinion, suffice TO concentrate the
vote Of the entire party upon the indi~
vidual thus selected. i he Two-TH1RDs
RULE saved Polk and Texas, and gave TO
US the brilliant triumph ofthe last Presi-
dental election. Like the veto power,
it has saved the South on more than one
occasion against the ponderous odds of
our northern neighbors. Ii is a con-
serVatlve party rule, which has worked
harmony in our ranks when every other
expedienl failed. lf adopted by the in,
coming Legislature, we shall have an
honest and capable Senator IN Congress
bur ifit be dis egarded, and a bare ma.
Jorlty be permitted 70 designate the man,
shadows, clouds and darkness hang up~
90 our path. We shall continue our
remarks upon this subject in our next
paper:
