Since he has made his DEBUT fear tina, his xs.i ~,

Den'd seems TO have succeeded moro 10 embitietior

IL has been my wish to AVOID all compa r;soo. ~
tween MIR Stanaid and MIR Daniel; and Wills n
make u without fear or affection TO either 4 W,
ioei inclined again To say that the necessity OF IN,
sase ,enoers the contrast imperative. We have
seen mat Tor their respective influence among poli
ueians, and especially the Legislature, Mr. Siana -,
occupies the most favorable position. As rerards

uuees, Sub. Committees and otherwise, afe th.
Ue' Juuees. ret may say that, while have seen
$780, VI .ne opposite party enraged at Mr. Daniels
mo,snce, and have heard Wings themselves rebut.
u, nave heard neither make the same eomn.;n,.
as.'nst Mr. Stanard. To those whose obiect m h.
70 ot nd than gain their political oppon .nt,
so., 10y .e' IN favor OF MIR Daniel; but to my mind

As MIR S,anard and Mr. Daniel arc ho,h r..,,
TONERS at the Bar. will compare their re.nsc-
i've merits IN the pro- ecuton of their I,yal 49,;
My object is not to cxalt one AT the e.nsns ~ I
other' nut solely TO point out the reasons s-h;sS
should operate on US in the choice of our Ren,..sr
t'uVe- md that have stated Mr. DanieIs noI,;
cal opinions TO have been doubtful before ,hr I.,

Wv strongly. u so, l will most checrfullv ren,;r
any error may have committed. 1 do moi ,nn.a.
oe'o,e you, gentlemen, the friend or the ensno,

w Wv higher objects than the promotion of Nh.
Pe'sonei interests of any man. As n cit;zen nr

muse principles, with which that party is idenii
u. speaking IN this character and ia this cb,rac.
se. 1ny again say, according to my views of nm.
lu'ineauons necessary for the Represen,a,;,. -
THIS CITY, that MIR Stanard nossesses ,hsas VI
greater degree than Mr. Daniel "' d"
, AS 10 the claims OF either OF these sen,i.r,. -

~ e supporters OF ether-they have both n.r~

have done more. "'"'y'
In conclusion, Messrs. Editors. have ,,L., :, e.
. 'nat our citizens wish send to the Iep;.
'au'e 'nc man who can do most in TINT bodv "a,
our cause and Tor oursoves-who while NJ.
ho,es Tie Wing caus,, will also open brieb,.r ~

as between the two, hope have shown goeS 80
