having been elected thereto at the TWO NEST aiuu-
Gus Political struggles ever had IN this osase ana
once By the largest vote ever given 10 candidate
for Governor in this or any other State. His re-
,irement was resolved on by himself, and his reso-
atioa openly proclaimed long before those un-
toward events which rendered impossible the sue

The time has not yet arrived for az impartial es-
innate Of Gov Stewards official career. That it
has beer marked by signal ability and will stand
sat in bold relief on the page of States hisso-
ry, no man doubts. That it has been entirely free
from errors, 10 judcious friend would deny. That,
as whole, it has elevated him in the estimation
Of the People, not merely of our own State but OF
the Union, we think none will seriously question
With the single remark tina. tho prominent acts OF
his Administration are all indssoiub!y connected
with the Freedom and Elevation of the depressed

execra,ed, and lhe extension of the blessings OF
Internal Improvement and Education to those
hitherto most destitute OF then while MS alleged
errors are mainly of transient and personal char
ac,er. we leave his fame to the impartial verdict
which Time shall render.

the 18th ult elected u. s. Senator by the Legisla-
ture of this State, having l05 votes TO scattering
Col VIM Everett was at the same time elected
Secretary of State unanimously-l27 to o. The
| Wings probably concluded that as Gov. Bagby is
man of decided ability, and used to be of the
oF e,,t,b-
licans, he will make as coed Senator as any
Loco Foco, and may be inclined to go for Henry
Clay at last if Mr.. Calhoun is thrown out of the
| CANVASS.

District, unless it shall be smothered under load
of Loco-F ocoism in the new Apportionment, will
decline to excuse him, but elect him at any rate.
Such mon will be too few at best in the next Con-

reported back-slider from the Temperance cause.

G Bishop HueHEs publishes Gard in last
Evenings Post in relation to the asserted burning
of Bibles by Catholics at Champlnin. He point
edly condemns The outrage, if any such has been
committed, which he has no direct reasons for de-
nying, though he thinks some explanation of the
matter must yet be given. Though his Church con
demns the Protestant versions Of the Bible as spr
rous, and directs its People to read their au-
thorized translation, which is abundently within
their reach, it docs not authorize the burxing of
heretica Bibles any more than the Protestant faith
lustihes the burning of Catholic Converts. If
persons of either faith guilty, let them be con-
denned, and not their religion. The Bishop offers
to pay half of all the expense Of investigating this
outrage. He says the Catholic Church does not
allow its professor. to thrust their books on those
ofa different faith, require them to receive he
retical books from others; but. having received
thes,. they would be deeply cuPable should they
outrage the feelings ofthose who hold them sacred,
by burning them.
