With Gov. Drew's choice for senator we have

to Gov. Drew or the Banner, though well know.
ing that the Banner wolld condemn any man
who was not c director of that print, member
of the clique, and a full blooded Yell man. The
Peorle have expressed their will, and as we fore
told, It's warmly in favor Of Col. Ashley. To
that will We do not expect the Banner and its
troop of disorganizers ever TO submit, though Il

But, TO return to Gov. Drew's letter. for the
reason why We commented upon that letter. We
could not, would not, let letter slip by unnotced
and unrebuked, in which the Governor of the
State a.saied Col. Ashley and interfered with
the question Of senatorial election. When Gov
Drew forsook his ''neutrnty,' no matter what
provocation the Banner may pretend be had. and
appeared IN the lists of senatorial contest the
friend and public encourager of one. and the enc
my and denouncer Of tho other, then we con.
demned, and as citizens and editors we could not
let such conduct in a public !unctionary go I'M
censured. We censured IL, not him; We spoke
o. the Gorernor's, not Of the pirate Politicians
choice; we animadvertsd upon the Governors in
fuence against Col. Ashley used thus openly. no,
of the mans. The people also have censurcd
this conduct, and they will continue to censure it
by supporting a man who has done SO much for
! his State while in the Senate, and reaped from
the Banner, and the Yell clique, only the bascsl
and most stale and sunderous abuse. OF this
abuse we would say more, but the words of an
apos,ate whig, the uphoder and aPoogist of dis.
organization cannot blncken the unsullied fame
