Senate during this session, while Mr.. Voor-
heis is acting Governor. Mr.. VOORHEES, still
has vote as Senator, and in case it is
needed to decide tie vote, he will be
called from the Governors Office to vote as
Senator from the County of Union. 1t is a
new condition for New jersey, brought
about by those political intriguers, Hobart
and Sewell, for some object yet hidden
from the public eye. The cat will come
out of the bag some day and then we will
know why the Governor, whose reputation
as lawyer had not reached beyond three
counties in his own State, was made the
legal adviser of the Nation and the Cover
norship was filed by party caucus. 1t
will be an interesting disclosure.
