Mr.. Bright-President Of the Senate.

The election of Mr.. Bright as President of the
Senate will be regarded by the democracy of the
whole country as a compliment richly earned by
his long and faithful public service. His large ex-
perience in the business Of legislation, together
with his promptness of decision and his uniform
urbanity of manners, renders his selection as the
Presiding Officer peculiarly proper. He win pre-
side over the deliberations Of the Senate with
marked dignity and ability, and will add largely to
his present high reputation as a statesman.
Washington Union.
The above is a just compliment to Vice Pre-
sident Bright, which that gentleman, we doubt
not, will properly appreciate, as he probably
understands the honest motive which prompted
it. As the administration were not powerful
enough to break Senator Bright down, it is of
course good policy now to congratulate him
upon his present elevation. We very much
mistake the character of this gentleman, If his
face was not lighted up with the smile of inef-
fable contempt when his eyes first rested upon
the above characteristic specimen of sycophan-
tic toadyism.
