TO Frenghuysen's brilliant Oratory and legal
acumen, and between the two New-Jersey was
absolutely impersonated in her senators. Catten was
sure OF reflection but his nervous system had broken
down under excessive and lrequited toll ana ne was
driven the conclusion that he could not rely upon MINI
self TO perform all the duties OF his Office He must
either stop being Senator stop being at all; so he
withdrew But he has high pride in the SenatOishlp
and wants to have brilliant successor and his sincere
affection for Mr. Freinghuysen moves him to work
hard and earnestly and to bring to bear all that coercVe

There uds good chance for Mr. Parker, but 10 lay 10
