Its tradition that William Wright, now Sensnr
from NewJersey, when Industrious and enterpriGg
saddler could crack whip more skully than any wl
oDer and that in his early expeditions to the South
when his wealth quite limited he was ACCUSTOMED
to advert Sc his wares in market towns and coas
weeks by cracking tunes on bis own whips, in si
manner as to set wsgouers and ostlers in ecs.sca
and secure large sales of his merchandise. The ha
was to his credit; but it is a melancholy instaned
progressive degradation that William Wright, SEQ
ator from NewJersey should conniye at a schsD
which is to convert whip-crackng advertise nai
of wares into whipcracking bloody reality on tho
teemipg plains of the Missouri Platte and Yeks
Stone. We trust that the Representatives OF NsE
Jersey will not follow the example OF her Senator's M
will remember their constituents, and truly refss
their sentn ents As hard working men with neisha
means nor disposition to buy plantations and wsi
them by the unpaid sweat of slaves.
