From this period his first prominence in national polities may be said to date. He was again elected to the United States House of Representatives in 1843, and continued a member of the lower House for four years, where he was one of the most active members, able speakers and ardent Democrats of that body. He was an advocate of "fifty-four forty or fight, " on the Oregon question, and was a firm supporter of the Mexican war. One of his best speeches was on the question of refunding to Gen. Jackson the fine which he was obliged to pay at New Orleans. In December, 1847, he was elected to the United States Senate. His course there is fresh in the public memory. He was a desperate political gamester, and sacrificed his all, and hazarded his country's all, to obtain the Presidency. At one time he was considered a national statesman, and a man of intrepid spirit but the manner in which he succumbed of late to Lincolnism, proves that he was supple as a willow to the popular breeze.

od sense of the people eventually prevailed. The arrival and reception of the Seventh at the great railway depot in Jersey City was a splendid ovation. Long before the train had arrived the immense galleries were filled with ladies and gentlemen of the principal families; and the Stars and Stripes were displayed conspicuously from every part of the depot It resembled a great amphitheater, so densely was it crammed with spectators assembled to welcome the members of the corps. The John P. Jackson, the largest of the ferry boats, was specially set apart for conveying the regiment across the ferry to New York. The Philadelphia trains arrived precisely at half-past 4 o'clock P. M., and their approach to the entrance of the depot was the signal for a burst of enthusiasm similar to that which greeted the Seventh on its departure for the seat of war. On nearing the ferry entrance, and as the men defiled out of the cars, the waving of hats and handkerchiefs, combined with the deaf

on of Hon. William B. Reese, lately deceased, of this city, who was for many years one of the Supreme Judges of the State. He is an educated man, endowed with soldierly qualities, and well fitted for his position. Maj. Wash. Morgan, as he is familiarly called, is every inch a soldier and a hero. Indian blood courses through his veins. His father, the late Col. Gideon Morgan, married a Cherokee woman, (half breed,) and during the war of 1812 commanded a regiment of Cherokees, under Gen. Jackson, in his campaign against the Creeks. His son was in the Mexican war, and now goes to fight for the South on the soil of Virginia, and, if need be, in Maryland. Col. Vaughn and Maj Morgan are from Morgan county, which has raised three companies. An unfortunate disaster occurred a few hours after leaving here, by which ten men of one company, including the Captain were seriously injured. One of the car trucks gave way, which caused the car to run off the track and turn over. The lim
