have INST read an article in the Wilmington

young Member of the Bar to the Office of County
Solicitor, what an Extraordinary Act' that the
Democratic Magistrates after having their political
feelings most wantonly sssailed in the Court House
by General McRac, leading Federalist. and up
rishtness of their Intentions publicly impugned,
should in defiance of the SAID remonstrance, pro-
coed to elect a young lawyer of acknowledged
worth and requirements, to discharge the duties OF
that responsible ard lucrative" office? Why
Mr.. Editor, have we not, the Magistrates, per-

The Senate.

The Senate, which adjourned over some
days before the close of the last week, con-
drmed to-day Mr.. Bancroft's nomination with
out dissenting voice. We have heard that
the object of the .postponement asked for
by member Of the Senate, arose out of a
wish to examine some public letter written by
Mr.. Bancroft in reference to the Imprisonment
OF Governor Dorr. We suppose the purport
OF the letter must have been grossly misrep-
resented; for certainly nothing ever came from
the penof Mr.. Bancroft more honorable to his
head. OF his heart. We learn, with great pleas
ure. that the mover of the incipient inquiry
gave notice that he dropped it, and the confif-
nation OF the nomination was unanimous.
