We have but little time and space TO devote 10
such matters, but from the stress laid upon By them
by the Independent, perhaps the following article
from the last number Of that paper merits reply:


The .nane of NcGowan. doubt not, will be
fresh in the memory of the Western people, IS

the class that have for their motto, "iHerlcdHS

The Senate but TO attend upon the members, and
execute their orders and he will discharge his
dulies promptly and inelligently, without regard
