for Mr.. Freeinghuysen. when DR.. B. voted for
hImsei, and ss chairman of the joint meeting de-
elared himself elected. The legality of this pro-
ceeding is denied in some of the papers of tina,

the people but one opinion, that OF deep and decid
ed d:sapprobation. IN y. Times.
Some of our friends are kicking up ,rea, dust.
about Dr Batemsn's voting for the Office OF SEM
tor Without pretending to decide the matter in
bis favor, or to say, who ought or ought not to
have been elected; we will merely remark. that
we have no doubt that some of those who a,e the
ioudest In their denunciaton Of the measure,
would have done the same thing, had they been ST.
m'lariy circunstanced. People can be y onderiul-
y dislnteres,ed when their own immediate interests
are not concerned; but when exposed to the tenn.
taon OF lucrative and valuable Office, few, very
lew, have ever yet been found sufficiently above
inc ieacn OF self love, to resist any powerful appeal
In their own behalf 1t is contrary to human ma
ture to be regardless Of ones own interest and The
man who sollciis Others to vote for him (which is
an every day oecurrence) he who vote. for
himself, are about upon the same level The in
genious remarks we have seen in the several pa-
pers serve greatly to divert us; and we are sure
no one can be serious in expecting the Senator e.
iect 10 resign his office, after his commissions are
Ia MS pocket. This Is patriotism and purity dis
titled in the aembic of more than mortal virtue. -
we are sure that those who wish it, would be the
hrst 10 call the officer fool, who should be weak
enough 10 de so. We would simply remark that
,ne senator elect was not our first choice; but we
know him to be an honest, intelligent and pious
man. anu we are conscious that the honor of New
Jersey, will not be compromised by his elec,ion

Mr. Barlow. who is elected in Congress from
the Northern district of Pa. has been set down by
some OF the administration prints as friendly to the
administration. We have just converted with
gentleman of veracity from Mr.. Barow's district.
VINO says that he is decided friend of General
Jackson and that Mr.. Sill lost his election owing
to belief, from some votes he had given in Con-
gress last winter, that he was friendly to Adams.
1 ms being the case, not more than two members
OF Congress, from Pennsylvania, at the outside.
can be considered friendly to the administration.
