United states Senator.


United States Senator.
According to rule adopted by US, of giving publ
city Ia public sentiment as expressed through the To-
cal presses, instead CT attempting '.dictate," we
republish all articles Of interest to the Democratic
party at large. While doing so, it not be sup
posed that endorse them all disapprcve any,
cept stated at the time. In the following we do
certainly take exceptions The 'disfingushed ability
and uafinchiag (politicaD integrity of either Mr..
Peaslee or MIR. Morrison; and we believe that, while
We dispute not the argument directly approve it
without modification that our views will eventually
be acknowledged correct by the great body Of the par
ty, even If they are not now so understood.
The democratic party by the result of the recent Stale
elections entitled TO have Senator in Congress,
fill the vacancy occasioned by the expiration Of the term
Of Office OF the Hon. A. s. White and hence the
sy Of making the selection Of suitable person, from
among The highly gifted and eminenty qualified members
Of the party whose names are mentioned in connection
with that Office. That We have 81 long list Of 1borihy
from which TO make IT, is TO ALL matter Of pride

ought not. and hope will not be, disparaghgly COM
pared with Of Others The party wants no person
al party factions They should encourage DO strife about
men, but guided by principles having for their object the
public good and general welfare, they should make Sc
lection.
For the distinguished ability and unanching integrity
of Whitcomb, Bright, an Owen, Peaslee, Morri-
son. &c &C., they have each been taken by the people
placed high in Office and power for given period,
which has expired Have the party others qualified
for the Senate whose services not thus employed
by the party II they have might not be we'll TO make
such selection, in preference to disturbing the present
subssting relations between others and the people! II

to another and higher under the Gensn Government

another before the exprotion of their present terms
We respectfully, and with due Difference to tho wishes

WHO'S TO BE SENATOR t-WHITCOMB.-Snsng
that there should be any difference of opinion among the
democracy that subject So far know the feel
ings of the party in the North there is dream of
for thai station but Governor WHTcoMB. All the other
asprants put together have half the claims the
party that WHITcOMB has No tTuehearted democrat
should listen a moment to those silly demagogues and
two yearod converts from whiggery who would sacrifice
WHTcoMB they did HowARD. We go for justice
and moral honesty in comforting honors. Let those who
have the lsurels, wear them. WHircoNB's tariff
pamphlet and his ZEAL assiduity skill, and signal ability
in the campaign of ls43 placed the democracy in the
ascendant in Indiana.
Let the party now do justice to distinguished lead
He will be honor to the democracy in the Senate
an honor to the State anywhere.

-h. Stst h. Of m
gentlemen spoken of in connection with the office of
United States Senator from this State 1t. Gov. Bright,
Robert Dale Owen James Morrison President of Stale
Bank, w. j. Peasee president judge of the 9Th circuits
Gov Whilcomb. and Hon. Jos. A. Wright.
OF these gentlemen free confess that ndivi-
dually, MIR. Owen would be first choice. We look
upon him of the first 10 State and having
few superors in the Union-a statesman admirably cal
cuated by his talents his business habits and calm deb
eraiys turn of mind, for seat in the Senate. Indiana
could be better represented in that august body than
by Mr.. Owen
We think however that it is due to Northern Indiana
that the Senator should be taken from that hitherto
neglected portion of the State. The WABASH and South
ern part Of the State have far furnished all Sena
tors and act of simple justice to the North we hope
her claims will be overlooked in the selection of
5idate We would suggest the name OF the Hon. L. NJ
CaAMbERLAIS, of EIkhart county gentleman every
way qualified for the distinguished honor of seat in the
IT, s. Senate and whose election would give general
satisfaction to the democracy Of the North. What say
the O0snen Democrat Lima lnuepenoent democrat anu
Indiana Tocsin to the nomination of Mr.. Chamberlain
The Muncistown Democrat.thnks that eastern Indiana
ought to have the next Senator, and suggests that
Samuel E. Perkins of Wayne county would be suitable
IL the claims of eastern Indiana stronger than
those of the North, should have objections the
selection of Mr. Perkins; but matter Of compromise,
would be better take up able and indefstga
Bile Representative to Congress. the Hon. Andrew Ken
nedy Next to Mr.. Chamberlain, know man in
our ranks whose election would be more acceptable the
North than MIR. Kennedy's.
From the same paper
We do hope that the election of u s. Senator may be
cnnduced fairly and without any the trckng and
chcanery by which former occasions Legislature
has been dsgaced and the will Of the majority overuled
by the obslinacy dishonesty of few We hope next
winter this vicious system dscountenanced and
man elected to the Senate who will be credit TO the
State and the choice of majority Of his party This
may be effected by holding caucus and nominating
suitable candidate, and at the time piedgng every
democratic Legislator support and abide by the nomna
on They may individually have their preferences and
may rghuIy strive in contention to secure the nomina
of their respective favortes but when the nonina
is made is the duty of every democrat cheeruIly
support the nominee. We also hope that no notice may
be taken of the of any cqaes cabas at the
Capitol who may control the action Of the Legs
ature on this important question The members full
ly competent to manage this business themselves they
fresh from the people. and able TO make nomination
more generally acceptable their constituents, Than any
