vAx nuRES MAIonIrtEs,

Several of the Van Buren, papers and
leaders are kindly advising the Wings on
the subject of the election of Senator's
They have gone so far, some Of them, as
to name the gentlemen that ought to be
chosen. The Wings know how to appre-
ciate their diaAtereaed offices, but feel full
ly competent to the management of their
own affairs. We would suggest TO our
brother Editors throughout the State, care
fully to abstain from the discussion OF the
relative merits of gentlemen who may be
spoken of as Candidates for this elevated
post. No good can come of it, but harm
possibly may. Some of the leaders, about
Iere, are already predicting that our ma
juitv is so large that we shall split to PIE
cen, when we come TO settle down on our
Candidates. Let us show our opponents
tina, as defeat, heretofore, never drsye us
to despair, neither can success So lntoXCate
us, "a to make us forget what is due erh-
err to ourselves or to the country. SOM
of those restless demagogucs, who are al
WAYS fishing in troubled waters, are serious
" calculating, that there will be such d.
vision among the Wings, that by uniting
the whole Van Buren, vote on some Wings
that they may prefer, two Senators may be
elected not generally acceptable to the
great body Of the Wings. iii might not
be taken as impertinent, we would, as an
humble member of the Wing party, en-
treat those on whom the selection OF Sena-
tors may devolve, not to commit them
selves, in any way, on the subject Let
them all como to the Legislature, deter
mined to vote for those men, who are found,
after free Interchange OF sentiment, to be
most acceptable to the great body Of the
Wings of this State. Or, IN other words,
let them adopt for the regulation OF their
conduct in this matter, the sentiment OF

are satisfied with plain living. We have
no objection TO his living as becomes his
station, but we see no necessity for his
having glded knives and forks, and such
expensive trumpery. The President, as
head Of the Government, should show a
love for the simple and republican manners
Of our people, and not Try and draw them
to love of the splcndor of kmgly courts.
As long az We retain the SIMPLE manners
