GOVERNOR STONE.

BY virtue of his office as President
of the Senate, Hon. j. NJ Stone has
become Governor, for the unexpired term
of Gov. Ames. Col. Stone has been a
member of the Senate for the past six
years, and has distinguished himself as
one of the most capable and useful mem
bers of that body. The hold which he
has on the confidence of his immediate
constituency, who have known him long
est and best, is guarantee of his fdel-
ity to the public trusts, even if unsus-
tanned by his unblemished record in the
councils of the State. We congratulate
the people upon the accession to the of
flee of Governor, of one so worthy of the
position, and so competent to discharge
its important duties.
