A valuable acquisition will be made to the Senaja when Gov. Harvey assumes the seat to which be is elected. Although untutored in tho arts of tbfi common-plac- e politician, and deficient even in the rudiments ot statesmanship, the innate intelligence, and subtle tact which distinguishes him, will render him useful in the peculiar sphere of action in which he will necessarily move He is essentially the representative of a class whoso importance and usefulness in council have been unfortunately ignored.
