It is true the Governor never has asked the peop.e for any po sition that they did not give him. and the more violent the abase of the Republican, tbe larger nas been his the Broad night have dictated a forma! dispvtch, an 1 aigne-i possible, that the people of that confederacy will continue to purchase of New England uianufac- f'upeiiiiteiideBt refused to give them up, and the Republican journals, with tueir usual good man ners, spoke of the agent of Georgia as "on-La mar."

But the very moment the ships were seized by Georgia, the‘'oulT of the New York Governor no longer utood in his way. and Geor gia properly was restored, not because that re violation was just and right, hut because New York property was made responsible for its resto ration.

The | editoi advises that the telegraph operator at Mil- I ledgeviile be furnished with a copy of the liroad Seat, and wax to correspond, to be attached to sucii dispatches in future. The editor says this (under the Broad Seal) is the “only way in which it has been understood heretofore a paper of State could be authenticated."

His antecedents are Whig*, and if lie- publican, not so very Republican that any of them will be in the way of his do ing what is tight, when in the United States Senate. Mr. Harris is an able, clear headed mail, and though lie lias not had large experience in political life, yet as a Judge, and a good observer of man kind, he will go into the Senate very well qualified to discharge all his duties. The impression is, that “the machine.” run him, as Mr. Evarts, and that it did not care which succeeded, as long as it run off Greeley. Ilwvr the Mouth Abnll Thrive.
