The Strong Point.

We understand that the strongest point
In Harlan's secret circular is, that By pay
ing him : yeat's salary, the Gen Assem-
bly, have fully recognized him % Superin-
tsndent, and that, the Senate being demo
cratic, the democratic party has thus ack.
nowledged the validity Of his election
This IL too ridiculous an argument to merit
serious notice. 1t will be recoIlected
that the federal press, on Harlan's behalf,
appealed to the ''magnanimify" ofthe Leg
isla,ure for an allowance OF years sals-
~ to him. ss
The argument used. both by the wing
press and the whigs in the Legislature, as
we'll as by Harlan himself, was. tina: az he
had been discharging the duties Of sha, Of
flee, he oug,t justly TO be paid, whether
legally elected or not. This was the APP
peal made 10 the sympathies Of the demo
cratic members. who knew that he was
not legally entitled 10 any pay, and ,hould
not be paid, at. all events, for more than
the time OF his service up to the date Of
the decision of the Supreme Court declar.
ing the election void. But their magma
nimity" being appealed 10 by a whining
political opponent and his wing hackers,
