greatest of regret attending the late defeat Of
the New Jersey Wings is the fact that !, will de.
prive the United States Senate Of a brgh, ornament

course has been such as not only 10 reflect honor
upon New Jersey, but establish for himself high
place among the statesmen Of the nation. No act
Of the opposition will crate so harshly upon Inc
ears of the people as the suppiansing Of Ibis genc-
man, and yet we suppose that the stern Law Of mo-
dern Democracy, which compels them 10 sacrifice
good men to reward hungry partisans, will be fully
enforced in this case. We have an abiding faith.

Government will perceive the policy of employing
so able Wing where his great abilities can be
made most available in advancing the interests Of
