his Congressional career been such
as to commend him TO his consti-
tuents-is he the strongest and
best man in the party-and is it
wise and polite TO renominate
him?'
H Precisely so. When our
people generally-we mean to say
when q very large majority Of the
honest masses of the Republican
party-have good cause to be
reasonably well satisfied with the
record Of Judge WILSON. both
during the canvass, and as an
active participator in the business
OF Congress, it becomes matter
of very significant Importance to
the public, to know the animus. the
imposing cause Of the suddenly
developed Personal opposition to
him-the recently discovered un-
fitness Of our present NJ c. for the
place he occupies. The question
is not only very material but per-
fcctly legitimate. and an intelli-
gent community cannot fail to ap>
preciate it's relevancy. We trust
that the moral Of our observations
shall be in their application.
So far are We from Directing tc

the highest duty Of an American
citizen, fcarlessly to canvass thu

we ask the especial attention OF q
candid public to the points.
Suppose our ambitious friend OF
the Independent had, by the
agency of the Judge, succeeded in
retaining his assessorship---that
our personal friend had drawn
the P. o. prize, with q revertion-
airy right guaranteed to a gentle
man doing business on the N. E
corner of Main and Franklin-sts. :,
and that the P. D. had not been
removed. We take pleasure In
| exempting our friend Benjamin
Strattan and his friends; ecause
the Judge has no warmer and
sticking supporters than can be
supplied from that source.
But let our readers and, the
public generally, just imagine oul
suppositions realized. and then per
init us to query, whether there is a
sane live man in this city who vii
not confess, that TIE PREsExT in
harmony and D1scoRD, would have
been such symphony-music-lovt
and fellowship-such admiration
of Judge Wilson. and such genera
rejoicing, rs have not been wit

FoRGErFUL ISAAC.

Old Betsy was washing the dishes
Twas the morn of her baking day;
Old Isaac at ease at the window,
Was putting and smoking away,
The wood-bOX was all but empty
shed said so time n again!
And he'd just pulled on in silence
The most forgetful of men.
Cried Betsy-"Tm ready for baking
Are you ready to split the wood"
Old Isaac got up from the window
AS a dutiful husband should,
But, instead of a dash at the wOOd-pile,
He gazed at the pigs in the PEN,
Then opened the gate without thinking
The most Iorgetful of men.
He strolled down town &c the corner"
And spent the rest o the day:
Then tipSily home to his supper,
He came in the twilight gray.
Al underlined longing possessed him
Though knowing moi what fOrOr when),
To pray ia the Lord for forgiveness
This most forgetful of men.
u Think, Betsy" he cried with a hiccough,
THAT the Lord in his vengeance dire,
Will condemn all us wicked
To a roaring eternal fire?"
Screamed Betsy. who'd got as angry
As ever q woman could:
" Never. you fool, if he waited
on you for to split the wood"

formed, lay the second with the butts

first row, and 81 OH until you get

getting too full, lay them in little

against filing up the middle Of the
stack with loose or broken bundles;
if YOU have such, bind them up or
lay them on the outside, for the mid

walk any further toward the Ouside
of the stack than is necessary. When

no more middle to fill up, keep in the
