Third. Because it will be necessary to levy further burthens on the people in the form of a direct State tax, to make good the deficiency which will be occasioned by a sale at the price named in the bill ; for if the Treasury be de= prived of the $582,000, as stated above. and only save $350,000, which is the interest (at five per cent.) on seven millions, the revenue wilt - he-made short by this sale next year $232,- 000 : even estimating the trade over the Colum bia and Pennsylvania roads to be no greater than in 1354.

It is ad mitted that if the present vacancy had occurred during the recess of the Legislature, tire, Gov ernor would have had an undoubted - right to appoint the Senator. if the Governor should appoint, his choice would not be fairly warm in his seat before a successor would be elected to take his place, unless he was confirmed by the Legislature. We think the Governor would searcely.cam about—taking the responsibility,'' under such circurnstances, unless. indeed, it was for the purpose of influencing the vote in favor of his favorite candidate.
