1t will be recollected that the House OF
Representatives, decided last September,
that Claiborne and Gholson, under the Ju-
ly election, ,Oere members of the 25th Con-
greSs. In December last Prentiss and
Word went on TO Congress, exposed the
absurdity ofthe decision of the House, and
forthwith that ,oiSe body declared that
Claiborne and Gholson were not members
of the 25M Congress. Again, that same
body upon democratic" deliberation,
decided that Prentiss and Word, ,Dere not
entitled to their seats as members of the 25th


Congress, under the November election.
The other day Prentiss and Word, return
ed to Congress, with the same certificates,
that they received under the November
election, demanded their seats upon those
certificates, and, anon, the same august
and digniGed body, declared, without
dissenting voice, that they WERE entitled to
their seats as members of the 25th Congress.
We present this as precieHr morceau of
Van Buren consistency, and leave it with
out comment. G.
