saved him. Every body else shuned and avoided

her society and knowing the conditions on which
his longing could be gra;ifed he adhered to them

Fran kl1n'S Son the Governor of
New Jersey

Speaking of the son of DR.. Franklin, the
Newburyport Herald says:
'As the name Of Franklin is prominently
before the public. it may not be uninterest-
| ing TO z We some account Of his only son.
William, about whom we suppose little is
known by the public at large. Unlike his
father whose chief claim is for the invaluable
services he rendered his country in her
greatest need, the son was from the first to
the last, devoted loyalist. Before the Rev
olutionary war he held several civil and mil
iary offices Of Importance. At the COM
, mencement Of the war, he held the Office of
Governor of New Jersey, which appointment
he received in 1875.
When the difficulties between the mother
country aud the colonies were coming to a
crisis. he threw his whole influence in favor
of 10y yalty, and endeavored to prevent the
Legislative Assembly of New Jersey from
sustaining the proceedings of the General
Congress Of Philadelphia. These efforts.
however, did but little to stay the tide of
popular sentiment in favor of resistance to
tyranny. and soon involved him in difficulty.
He was deposed from Office by the wings, to
give place to William Livingston, and sent a
prisoner to Connecticut. where he remained
two years in East Windsor. in the house of
Capt Ebenezer Grant where the theological
seminary now stands. In 1878 he was ex-
changed, and soon after went to England
There be spent the remainder Of his life, re-
ceiving a pension from the British govern
ment for his fidelity. He died at the age OF
eighty..wo, in 1913.
AS might have been expected. his opposi-
ton to the of liberty, SO dear to the
heart Of his father, produced an estrange-
ment between them. For years they had no
intercourse; when in 1884, the son wrote
the father. In his reply, DIR. Franklin says:
n Nothin., has ever hurt me so much, and af-
fected me with such deep sensation. as to find
myself deserted in my old age by my only
son; and not only deserted. bu. to find him
taking up arms against me in cause where
on my good fame, fortune and life were all
at stake
In hisswilI, also, he alluded to the part his
son had acted. After making some bequests
he adds: The part he acted against me in
the late war. which is Of public no.oriety. will
