Barns reaiguod hU seit, was awardcd the coutract, and filed his suretias fjr the compliancj with its terms. Henuy Barns now has Semt'.iri;il aspiratior.s agSfii. n:id harfag assi-nor] his contract, considers himsolf cligible for reelection, and seeks a nomination. But in aiisivï ti su inuiry, Hüq. Jacob M! Howa?.i, the great oonstitutional expoi:ndcr of the party, and legal adviser of the State, declarea th;it a contractor cannot make himself cligible to a seat in the Legislature by assigning his contract.
