lively, by bindering the Senate from tax
ing the usual course, and paying the
legally elected candidate for Governor the
customary houors-the Inauguration il

Fifty-six loyal Jersey men, in the neigh.
borhood of Philadelphia, conceived the
idea, and advanced the money for this
testimonial The original works Of An.

only about 200 copies were printed. The
present edition is enlarged by his sons and
others, and is much better executed in

$500. 1t is an outlay of money made
more lasting and desirable than that
