u. S. SENATOR.
Dec. IA. 1899.

A number of gentlemen have been named for this
high and important station, by their respective
friends, in almost every portion Of the state. All Of
them good sound democrats, and many Of sterling
talents. 1t will of course, be of the first acts of
the Legislature, which meets on the 7th of next
month, to make the appointment, and we hope and
trust that the honor will fall upon some one of the
most talented members Of the party, as at the pre-
sent tine, particularly, the interest Of the state and
nation require that we should be well and ably re-
presented in that body. 1t is true that we now
have Senator (Mr. Bncharan) who is not inferior
to any other MEMBER but yet is necessary that
should have another who can stand side by side
with him in defence of the democracy of the coun-
try and the rights Of the people. We have many
such men 81 hope and trust, that the Legislature
will not disappont the expectations of the people

Extract Of a letter dated

Siockbridge, N. Y. 22d April, 1889.
DEAR SIR-I rejoice to see Canadians
engaged in the great and glorious cause OF
Freedom. The work is one which should
engage the head and heart of the Philan-
thropist and Republican. For more tfsp
seventy years has Canada been cursed with
English misrule. She has in fact during
this time been in a state Of tie most abject
vassallsge. How long she is to be thus de
graded, remains 10 be uniolded by the fu-
ture. Let her sons rise manfully and with
a fixed determination to be free, there can
be no doubt abont the event Her tyrants
would soon be hurled from power and
wonld be only known as the things that
have been.
Accept my best wishes for your success
10 the good cause, Yours, sc,
