UNITED STATES SENATOR.

On Wednesday last, 3O,h ult., John
Henderson, (federnlis'.) was elected on
the first ballot Senator TO Congress for SIX
years, from the 4th of March next. The
act is consummated-the people defraud-
ed, popular will trodden under foot. in
structions violated by federal members.
The hississippian says, "Thirteen Wings
reprepresen'atives from democratic coun-
ties. have voted contrary to the known
wishes o. their constituents, and. in many
instances, against instructions and posi-
tive pledges. Oh, you federal Wings, YOU
have laid mp wrath against the dav Of
wrath ;--the hand writing is on the wall
against you. An insu!ted constituency
will give a rehuke to federalism that will
sweep it OFF, and not a vestige of il will be
left.
We hope the democracy ofihe State will
learn lesson, never again to vote for a
man for any political office, without he is
one Of the faithful in The ranks of good
old Democracy. We love those old men
who have grown grey fighting under the
broad hammer of democracy, and under its
waIvy folds have won so MANY vicfo' ies.--
On the other hand, we hitr the traitors
who have fed from our ranks. and are
fighting under The black cockade Of feder-
alism.

The late nomination Of Judge Turner 10
run on the Wing ticket for Governor, and his
acceptance of the same, makes it neces~
sary for the people Of the State t" select
some one who is competent to fill the office
Of Chancellor with credit to him .eli and

We know of no one who we would more
willingly support for the Office OF ChanceI-
lor, than the gentleman whose name heads

Of which any man might be Justly proud.
Asa legal man. none can claim a high

Mr.. Buckner's political creed has moth
ing to do with the office of Chancellor,
and we would be sorry to see the eleva-
tion of any man to that office depend upon
what political set of opinions he might en-
tertain. We are democrat, and hope to
live and die one--we never have been any

Our friend John J. McCaughan, some

a cargo of Lime, Laths, Potatoes. and the
usual notions from the north, drawing nine
feet water, disposed of her cargo without
delay at the city wharf, and took in cargo
Of wood, and went off, no doubt, wen plea
sed at the idea that there was another
point added TO the many places of traffic,
for her ingenious countrymen. This being
the first vessel of the northern trade to
