WAYNE COUNTY SENATOR.

Il will be seen, by reference to the proceedings
Of the Legislature, published in another column,
that the contested election case, which has occu-
pied so much Of the time and attention Of the Se-
nate during the present session Of the General
Assembly, has been at length settled; the contes.
tor Withdrawing his memorial Of contest, and the
member occupying the seat resgning all claim to
the same after the close Of the present session.
Had this compromise been entered into at thetime
il became known that the seat would be contest.
cd, none would have been found who could, with
any show Of justice, have complained at the a.
doption Of such course; but after the contestce
sIubbornly refused 10 submit the question back
to the people, when repeatedly asked to do so by
the contestor, we think that he deserves very lit
tie credit for his acqucscence, at this particular
time, when the sickness Of one Of his political
friends, would prevent him, during the remain.
der of the session, from declaring himself elect.

he would dol Perhaps the people of Wayne
county will feel obliged to Mr.. Wilford for hi.
