SEARCHER OF ALL HEARTS to bear him witness
that, IN no event. would he desert his political
confederates: that he went INTO the Senatorial
election with Them thus rel ing upon his Protes-
taIons, and although con Iured by the most sol
emn appeals to be steadfast his pledges, he
deliberately violated them and handed over his
party, at that tremendous crisis, with tul'
know ledge of the fact, into the hands Of their
foes!
Ii is too disgusting for endurance, TO consider
the apology that Daniel Kelso offers in attempted
mitigation Of this redempiouess act Had he
cast his suffrage for Mr. MARsHLL. the Wing can
date, upon whose name he canvassed for the office
which he unfortunately holds: had be obeyed the
commands Of bis much talked of instructions
sent him, as he alleges, from Wing county. and

ard the election would have been returned to
the people, and Mr.. kelso would have saved him
self degradation and preserved his boosted con-
slstency. lie saw fit TO act otherwise: and when
the deed was done; on the very n ght OF the day
that closed in upon the defeat Of his former allies,
brought about by his hand; upon the very night
whose stiffness broken upon by the earn
ivas and rejoicipgs of those into whose hands he
had delivered the Wing party upon that very
night, with rude ard indecent haste, he joined
their carousals, made speeches IN their conven>
ton, and retired to his pillow deafened with the
cheers of those for whom. at such sacrifice, he
had purchased the victory!
regard to Daniel kelso: feel it TO be almost

written what is already above recorded. The
eyes Of men will turn upon him as they are now

shall live among them.-Not a whig me mber of
either branch Of the Genera! Assembly holds in
tercourse with him in word look. The seat
which he occupies in the Senate has been desert
ed by the Wing members who were placed 10
jpx,apositon. They have removed to another
portion Of the Hall. His whig room mate has
changed his lodgings, and this has been done 81
