fspo 70 confirm the Governors nominations for Chiei
ps;ce and Chancellor greatly to The prejudice OF tho
r,bI;c ard nr;v.te welfare. But ell this tune our
covernor held out reeoIutey until Last year we d'd
d,:vs ,ban into confirming our Chancellor though up
o. 1;. ,;mo ve have no Chief Justice You may sup
rose t,.a, our party felt good the Legislature meet
=, h.,a lat week. knowing that we had the Senate.
IT, SENATOR, went into caucus usual there being no
.usncion Of trsitor being among them. But when
hev ent in 10 elect their officers of them turned
mn the blsckes kind Of traitor. This man. Thomas L.
Norcross of Burlington County, voted square with The
Democrats and gave them the entire organization TO
the asonishment Of the whole community. What price
,bs man received for his treason not certainly known.
Bu his brother-insw was made Clerk of tho Senate
Of ahcu, s3 500 for the Session. Somebody undoubt-
edly has Norcross in his breeches pocket. He now
goes on voting straight through with the Democracy.
But he il condemned and cut by all Republicans, no
decent man even noticing him, except to burn his
ef6oy. This is luckily his last year in the Senate.
Burlington County s the staurchest Republican district
in the State and was greatly taken in by his nomina'
ton a..
For years pssi our Legislature bas been cursed by
pesient set Of cormorants known as Shanghaes Amer
caps or Bell merrfellows about three to ak in num-
ber who, in the close division of parties happened to
hold the balance Of power in both Houses. These
hawks, when the organization came to be arranged
sold their votes in exchange for Office The Demo-
Gratis were always on hand to buy. Hence the hawks
got well paid. This session there were six OF them
claiming to be Bell men, but in reality, anything at
all that would secure them the spoils. But on this oc
cason grown more insolent than ever, they demanded
every Office in the gift Of both IIouses This mpuden
demand YVES rather too much for the Democrats
to give Though ready to buy, yet the price was TOO
exhorbi,snt. In this strait the Republicans came 10
the rescue, and crushed out the whole vile BET by
voting souare for all the Democratic officers, thus eav-
ing all the Bell hawks screaming out in the cold. In
sisns on everything, they thus got nothing The blow
is no stunning that we hope all future Legislatures are
now efectusy delivered from this nest of venal cor
morants.
There appears TO be but ono sentiment throughout
New-Jersey to enforcing the laws Of the Union and
maintaining it in tact. Maj. Anderson is well known
here. He was stationed here long time inspecting
iron gIdes for the Government buildiugs, daring
which time many Of our citi5ens became well &C.
quanted with him. His ptivste character susains tho
lofty public appreciation of his recent conduct at
Charleston, ard those who know him bea, conhde In
him the most. In manners, he is model gentleman

man Of strong religious convictions. We are confident
that be is the right man in the right place. New-Jer
