CALVIN WILLEY-COnnCcttCn

 MT. Wiley has been quiet but steady and sound member of the Senate for one term of six years, which will expire on the 4lh of March, 1881, when he will make way for Mr. Tomlinson, the present Gov ernor of the State. Although there has been nothing in Mr.. Willey's course to bring him into extraordinary prominence before> the peop!e-nolhing to fix upon him the admiration of those who are caught by declamatory harangue, and the gay Mo- saic of spacious oratory on the other hand there has been nothing to impair his standing as member of one of the most important bodies in the world, the dignity of which, in the eyes of mankind, has nev- CT. until within the last four or five years, suffered injury or diminution. It is di1i- cult. in the absence of all striking devel- opcment, to estimate the precise capacity of the mind but, as far as the traits of MT. l Willows intellect have disclosed its charac- ter. it may be pronounced as of that useful and practical cast which, in deliberativc bodies, is essential to counterpoise and check the sallies of buoyant spirits, the speculations of unschooled judgments, and the restlessncss of prurient imaginations. At period of life when the mental en- ergies are still in their full vigor, MT. Will lev will retire from the elevated area in which he has occupied place. Tic ex- perence he has there acquired will fit him for future usefulness to the State which he has already served with fidelity and sdvan- tage.-Ndt. Jour. .f
