FLORIDA SAFE F!

Notwithstanding the precocious calculations the
Tallahassee ''SentineI" the exuItait strains OF the
wing press in general--the especial triumphs Of the
"Boston Atlas at "Florida redeemed'-'the most
unexpected and signal victory" Of the wings in the
selection of Cabell the wing candidate, we have
to congratulate the country in the election of Will
liam Fl. Brockcnbrough, who bids fair to grace the
honorable station TO which the people Of Florida
have elected him He is republican dyed in the
wool, and gifted with the talent as well as the will
to promote the interests of his party.
We heartily rejoice that our friend Alexander,
the present editor of the Charlottesville Jeerson
an Republican," should have his honest boast veri
fed by the election of Brockenbrough. We know
no other press in the Union--certainly none in
Virgnia-ihat has seen two Of its former editors
transpIaned into the Congress Of the United States.
The two gentlemen, whose names are given by the
charlottesville Republican," are entitled TO the
praise of its editor, and to the confidence Of the
people. The following ia the compliment which
he pays to the new representative Of Florida:
Mr. Brockenbrough Is well known 10 this community

toral articles that day had powerful effect upon the

accordance with this feeling, resolutions were drawn
up, Conservative in their nature, deiieafeiy touching
the Oregon question. Groidng any discussion Of
Texas annexation, gently referring To The general
administration, &C., &e,--l say, " resolutions OF
tins character were drawn up, none such were pre-
scented; and had they been, none such could have
passed at the great meeting held last night at Tam
many Hall. IL was truly one OF our old-fashioned
gaiherinsf-thousands upon thousands; and il
would have done the heart Of any democrat good to
have heard The Deep loud long response to the res
oluions IN favor Of President Polk Is administration,
the Oregon and Texas questions, and, more than ALL
that in reference the interference of Europe-
an powers in the affairs Of this continent. Il was
truly glorious demonstration Of popular feeling
evincing the strong affection Of the people for the
President and for the measures which, il is believed
he will recommend in his forthcoming message.
We shall elect our whole ticket handsomely, and
the State-paypg policy Of 1912 be gloriously sus-
tanned.
There was a significant sign last night, in the re-
ception with which banner was received, bearing
the following inscription in large letters: "An indie
pendent treasury, as well for the State as for the
general government" This appeared to give great
satisfaction.
The election, you will recollect, takes place on
Tuesday next.

We are requested by X to cay, that che does no,
deem any reply to Mr.. Robnson's last commu-
nication necessary. He would not have replied 10
his former communication, but for his bold asser-
ton that he had the proof in his possession TO sus-
tain the charge Of the portrait; and he purposely
confined his reply to that charge. Mr.. Robinson
having been challenged to produce the proof, and
having entirely failed to do So has nothing
further to say to him."
To Mr. Riley, Y asks permission to say, "that
at the time Of writing his last communication, he
was not aware that such person was now in ex-
stence, and had no purpose to do him injury, even
in retaliation. The pamphlet of DIR. Mayo con-
tains authority for all he said; and in drawing up
on that for history Of the facts in the case
he supposed he referring to authority which
no enemy of Mr.. Washington would question"
To Mr.. Wilson he would say, that "his spleen
against Mr. Washington for his removal from
Office, and his refusal since he became Auditor to
reappont him, are too well known to make his tes-
timony Of much weight even if the statement were
not improbable upon its face"
We must now request that all further discussion
of this subject in the columns Of The "Unon'' shall
cease. We have been obliged already to postpone,
in consequence Of it, several articles of more general
interest; and as all parties have been heard no in
justice can be done to any one by the course we
think it advisable to pursue.

ELECTION OF UNITED STATES SENA.
TOR IN TENNESSEE

The Legislature Of Tennessee have succeeded, af-
ter many inefectua! balotngs, in electng senator
of the United States for the term Of six years from
the 4th of March last, to succeed Mr. Foster. Hon.
Hopkins l.. Turney is the newly-elected senator.
Mr.. Turney has for many years represented the
most democratic portion Of the State represent
alive in Congress; during which time he discharged
the high duty with ability and fidelity the prnci-
pies which he has ever professed. More recently,
during the presidential contest Of 1874, Mr. Turncy
was selected as one of the two democratic candi-
dates for electors for the State at large and pending
the canvass, travelled over nearly the whole State,
discussing with Mr.. Bell the great questions be-
tween the two parties
II is TO be regretted that the democratic party in
Tennessee suffered themselves to be divided and
distracted in the election of public servant to
serve them in the honorable post Of senator Of the
United States; and we much regret the crmna-
tons and recriminatons growing out Of this divi-
sion But now that Mr. Turney has been elected,
we recur to his past public history and services in
the democratic party, and find in them undoubted
assurance that he will continue the advocate and
representative of the principles and party which he
has so long and faithfully espoused.
