county. that 1 was ihere charged with tho a"-
shorship Of certain letter, published in tho frce
soiI'' paper At Centrsviile, giving some account
Of the xssnner Of electing U. S. Senator here
this session. He did not further allude TO the
contents Of said letter, nor have any further
Information on tho subject; hut from the way
The matter was mentioned to me, ! suspect that
he publishsd matter 10 looked upon. by some
pssseas at least, - not very crsditable to me-

slsesing Senator which would seem to call for
much remark hardly know-tho Iocos succeed
ID. and Why mott Their majority ON joint bal
lot ives large enough every one knows, and
am by NO means sure but that they elected the
bsse Of he leus prominsnt loco candidates ameng
ehsm. He certainly il a man Of more talents;
and 10 quite - likely to change his political
eousss hereafter - any Of them. which hold to

true. that 70 catch the votes Of such 'milk and
cidss'' votes - Geo. Evans & Co. gave, he
wrote certain "mlk and water" answers, to
questions relative 10 freedom in our newly nc
quissd territories. We Whigs may be glad that

they are. they leave ~ just a. Jackson's ja-

Oar State Convention went of with tho ut
most gosd 5sslisg and ananimisy-not dissent
Ing voics. During the canvsssing . number Of
gsnelemea wsre spoken Of for Governor; and
none more favorably than the Senior Editor, Mr..
Holioway.-Nothing but his steady refusal to
accept The nomination, prevented his getting it..
HE objections were placed ON the grounds Of
his physical inability to take the stump and can
vass the State, % il 10 expected the nominee will
do. Those Of 10 who know Mr.. Holloway. bs-
lisvs bic health would not admit Of such labor.
He ltisnds wers thus compelled to forego the
pleasure Of seeing him placed at the head Of the
greet whig party Of the State: . position he rich
y deserves we'll for his known capabiIity and
integrity, - for his long and untirng services
IN he cause Of his country. But the Congress
ienal district in which he resides has favor soon
. b bestowed on some one. and I hope that this
iaver may b. rendered to Nj. H. Few men in
he district have more talent 70 serve NJ we'll in
Cssgrsss-nons have more integrity. and none
have done - much - he has, to create and keep
alive the srss wing spirit within the district. and
wherever else bis labors may have been properly
appreciated. OsAer gentlemen are spoken Of
~. add am prosd 70 say that they are inteIi-
gsns and honest, and would make respectable
and safe Representatives in Congress; but Mr..
II. certainly deserves moro Of the district than
any ether man in il, other considerations being
squal. You will not understand me ~ saying
that Mr.. H. 10 candidate for Congrsss-I do
not know that he will b.. mot having had three
