UNITED STATES SENAToR.-By an article from the
Goshen Democrat, In another column, it viii be seen
that that journal cordially seconds nomination Of
Hon. E. NJ. CHAMBERLAIN as candidate for United
States Senator from this State When we made the
nomination we were totally unacquainted with Mr.
Chamberain's own views and feelings in the matter;
and are therefore pleased to that though 1t
elevation which he had not aspred, yet he consid
ers it an honor which ought not to be declined on
slight considerations He may therefore be looked
the candidate of Northern Indiana portion Of
the State which has hitherto been entirely overlooked
in the distribution Of the honors aid emolumerts of
Office, both State and national-for the honorable du
ty of representing tie State in the Senate Chamber Of
the Union. In pressing the claims of the North on
this occasion, do wish create any sectional
jealousies, disunion in ranks to throw any
difficulties the way of those whose duty II will be
to make the election; neither do we believe that any
of Mr.. Chamberlain's friends do,-and he himself we
satisfied would be the last TO desire or ac-
cept seat obtained by such means. I'll we desire
is that the claims of candidate may receive fair
consideration and that petty intrigues of trading
politicians be allowed to force Senator On us in
whom cannot repose the most implicit confidence.
With the decision of Legislative caucus, acting in
spirit Of fairness, impartialty and concession, we
shall be perfectly satisfied, and trust the nominee
of such a caucus-be he whom we may-will receive
the undivided support of the democrats in the Legis
ature, and be elected the first ballot. The public
sentiment is utterly opposed TO the continuance Of the
trading and trickery which have former occasions
characterized Legislative elections and the peo-
pies representatives would do well to remember on
this occasion that they acting for the good Of the
people, and not for the qualification of their own pre-
ferences the forwarding the schemes Of ambitious
aspirants.-Ff. Wayne Sentinel.

POLITICAL MYSTERIES.

The Chapmans of the Sentinel are publishing Sc
res of articles under the above title. Their object is
partially expose the past political history of our
party, in this State, and particularly about Indiana
psls.
Net being acquainted much with the particular men
they attack, cannot of our own knowledge, say
they do them Justice or the contrary. The general
object of the articles however, cordially approve,
and are highly pleased that they have been under
taken
1t has long been subject of remark among poll
tcians of other STATES, that calculation could be
made, in any political contest as to where Indiana
would be found. She seemed to have politics.
Sometimes one party was In the aScendancy, at ano-

We know democratic politicians Of the class spoken
of by the Chapmans, who denounced Whitcomb's
pamphlet, ultra and ruinous the party when il
appeared Time has shown them that time Serring
courses are not the best. The ambitious designs OF
partzans will enter less all contests

endured and corrected as far as possible and candi-
dates must be taught to wait the general justice of
party TO give them preferment, rather than look to
bargain and Intrigue With opponents. Then will the
power of the party be consolidated, its perhanency
made secure and its principles planted IS on a rock

MYSTERIES OF INDIANAPOLIS.

The State Sentinel is progressing with the develop
ment of the Political Mysteries of our capital. So
far, its attention has been chiefly directed to the
90 Morrison family in general, and A. F. Morrison
in particular. 1t certainly makes out very strong
case against these worthless; and if we have had
many such traitors in the camp, it is wonder how
we have succeeded In regeneatlng our State nothing
but the indomltabe energy and perseverance of the
PeOple-the rank and file of our party-could have

the Junto of Old Hunkers in the striking colors

deserve no favor.

suing the course it did towards the Hunkers 1t

influence this iunto were exercising, and the injury
they doing to the Democratic but at that
time the Wings being all powerful i'm the State the
Democrats discouraged and dshearened by the tornado
of 1S40 it thought best by the Sentinel to direct
all the energies against the common enemy rather than
run the risk of appearing TO have discussions in our
ranks Now the case is different. We have met the
enemy and they are ours-now is the time to rid the
hive of the drones who have so long fatened On the
honey of the Industrious BEES whose labor instead of
aiding they have done much to impede. The SEN
tine further laments that the false position in which
it was placed should have induced TO msapprebend
Its real positions and also led it to misconceve ours
and thus aid the selfish schemes Of the hunkers.
