"As the election IS now over, and the defeat of
MIR. Powell may be conaisered ertain, wa may
say Of him what We could not have said with
propfiety hal he been re cleo ed, and without
any disparagement We hope 10 his respectable
successor, that. As few members OF the House
OF Representatives were more useful or more
representations eertsiniy more respectable
we consider his absence from Congress loss
to the public at large. and to his own State in
particular. Tile was certainly 40 ornament 10
