rack upon u.s. and biz misfotturcs as Senator which
have rarely " ever been paraeled BY any oher 9'na or
in single session. We have no doubt OF his political
integrity, notwithstanding we well know that some Of
his votes and speeches have caus douos 10 oihes we
have doubt Of his ability tn render honorable ser ice
in the ouse; AID 'hen he finds himself representa-
tive Of the pie rather than Of The State as corpora
ton OF which be has been TOO mu b and 20 hts cot In
tn habit Of regarding the lawyers as the controlling
Boar' Of Directors We are sure he will carefully avoid
any unneee'say votes or spesehes against sentiments
OF interests Of his constituents We 'hus be will never

mutation for the House after March 1867 with, as
one report says declared expectation that he Will oe
elected BY the Legislature to serve in the Senate until
That time II he aid hat 1t vas more reasonable than
mcd.s, 1t would certainly have been better n said for
C HIM so nsb d. else. But there are good for
il He has had the experience Of one session in the
senate, and now has in bis ,hage impor,an public bills
That will re acted upon At the next ssin. We do not
hesitate to ay therefore that for ihse reasons his cleo
ton he Senate for the short would be preferable
TO that Of any new man; md more VT, vii give him
mo experie c., and ht him fer better service In
the House, who're we expect him for many years
