MARCH 28th, 1855. The question OF elect
ing an United States Senator is again being
discussed by the papers, and vigorous effort
will be made to hoist Gwin into power His
adherent see their only safety in this result
The failure to elect so far has been the severest
reverse to them, and places them in a bad pre-
dlcament before the people. The prestige of
Gwin position is gone, and with it much of
his influence and thus of his friends, or rather
dependents. Instead of going before the peo-
pie in the confidence inspired by winning
cause, they go with a recent failure to embar.
rass them, and to qualify their assertions of
fall campaign with recent discontinue star
ing them in the face, is to hazard the battle.
they are determined to again let loose the
hordes of federal office holders like Goths upon
the capitol, to re-engage the powers of corrup-
tion and Intrigue, and by desperate attack
: upon the consciences and resolutions of mem
bers, to elevate their Dagon Gwin upon the
pedestal from which he has just fallen. This
=. Legislature has fought hard for economy in
: public expenditures, and had it not been for
TIC Senatorial convention would have made a
short as wei. as useful session. But even this
ruling principle for the protection, and in ac~
cordance with the demands o. the people, is to
be sacrificed to the designs of an ambitious
demagogue and the consequent support of a
nest OF corrupt office seekers, more filthy, un-
scrupulous and hungry than any that ever
clustered around any other man in any state.
. What do the people care for this bold. bad
r man, who has used his Office for personal ends
Is there anything in VIM NJ. Gwip that can
create love or admiration for him despite his
use OF his Office to fee INSCRIPTIONS agents, and
, barter away the frmcr interests of the state
In talent he ranks low among our public men.
AS speaker he is commonplace and dull, and
his superiors as reasoners may be found in al
most any village lyceum. Even personal en-
efgy does not compensate far lact of mental
, vigor * brlliancy. He has achieved nothing
ior the stats in all his term of service. No
good has flowed from his labors. VIM. Fl.
Seward has accidentally done more for the
state than Gwin has, though it was his peculiar
duty. But those who know put their finoer On
his acts OF corruption by which he has bartered
the honor and interesta of the Stnto fo- .s.
