send you the result Of the elections for United
States senator and for State printer;
John M. Berrien.. ...V
John ii. Howard. ...................S1
blank. .................. ....'..'..
Mr.. Chappell then announced, IN loud voice,
"Mr. Berrien having received majority OF all the
votes cast, You have elected the Hon. John M. Ber-
rien to the United States Senate, fill the vacancy
occasoued by the resignation of the Hon. John M.
Berrien."
Thus ended act LIST of this ridiculous farce. The
finale will take place before the whg party this eve
ming, when the honorable senator addresses them
Ii is generally understood that he will accept the
douceur to his wounded pride, receive the humble
apologies OF his too presumptuous party, that thus
after daring to express dissent to his conduct and
opinions, now come like whipped children TO his
feet, and humbly ask his pardon. He will not only
grant his gracious pardon TO the wings for this ftu
and evanescent fash of spunk and independence, SO
suddenly displayed, so quickly repened Of, but will
magnanlmously give earnest OF the sincerity of his
forgiveness, by resuming his seat He will doubts
less address. them in honed phrase and most sooth-
ing accents. But the real feelings OF his heart will
more probably prompt him to address them in the
more fitting language used by Coriolanus to the
mob:
"Who deserves greatness
Deserves your hate; and your affections
sick mans appetite who desires 4, mvst that
Upon your favors, swims With inns OF lead,
And hews down oaks with PUSHES Hang ye!
With every minute yon do change mind;
And call him noble that was now your hate,
Him vile that was your garland'
II, under all the circumstances Judge Berrien ac-
cepts the proered honor ample atonement for the
committed mdigny, then is he worthy of the party,
and the party of him. The feelings mutually in
spired aud entertained are TO proud man, certain
" not enviable. Henceiorth must they illustrate
satire on modern society, and its hollow profess
sions-
sorrow for sickness, JOY for health SO civil,
And love, that wishes each other at the deviln
had hoped that the proffered honor would be re-.
fused, and that the ex-senator would have become
a Judge on the bench Of that court which / trust
soon 10 see organized. This would have been
more consistent with truly dignifed position, and
real, efficient service TO his State, which, in his
attitude of United States senator, he misrepresents.
So far as this question can affect parties, pot-
cally, this last move of the wings on the chess
board will rebound to the benefit of the democrats
In that respect the return Of Judge Berrien to the
Senate will be fruitful Of benefit. II will give the
democratic cause increased strength before the peo
pie Of Georgia.
After the election of senator, Mr.. Miller Greiye
was elected State printer, on the third ballot.

Last night, Judge Berrien addressed the wing
party, and, was anticipated, accepted the honor
Of filling his own vacancy. He stated, as ! am told
that he had designed retiring to private life his
turn last spring from Washington but that after this

wing party, he could not refuse again to them
This looks liue like irony.
