us SENATOR 1T will be seen by our legisla-
tive proceedings, that the first attempt to elect
Senator to the U. $. Congress has failed, and
that another trial was to be made yesterday.-
We believe that vast majority OF the people
hoped and expected that the choice would de-
voIve on E. II. Mills, the present incumbent
But the few individuals who are opposed to the
present Administration, determined, if possible,
to displace of its most able and efficient sup
porters, have been busily engaged in exciting old
party prejudices against him, in order % defeat
his election Aware that it would be ia vain to
attemptt to choose one OF their own men, they
are content with substituting a comparatively
feeble aud Inefficient man. who is friendly to the
Administration. If they succeed, II will be claim
ed as triumph of the opposition, and may justly
be considered as such. We had hoped That, if
the intempersnce of party zeal must drive The
present incumbent from his seat il might find
some apology IN the ability of his successor. We
are told however, that John Mills, the person
elected on the part of the Senate, is highly re-
spectacle citizen. We grant it, and there are
hundreds of such in all parts of the State, but we
never supposed that alone, sufficient recon-
mendation for person to represent the Com
monweath in the Senate of the Union. But we
commenced the sinking system at the last pre-
cedng election, and there is now no knowing
