SPIRIT OF THE VIRGINIA PRESS.

We continue our extracts from the Democratic
journals four State, on The subject of The appoint
lnenls TO be made, next winter, 10 the high offices
of Governor and Senator:
From the Ch0rlcsi0wn SPIRIT NJ .Jetr@nJ
THE NEXT SENATOR.
The presses in Virginia are already beallns Inc
public pulse as 10 who shall be the next Senator.
The West claims The election Of some one OF her
distinguished sons, and unes with great una
nimily upon Isaac S. Pennybacker, of Shenan-
doah. Though comparatively young man.
Judge P. sustains high reputation as one among
the abest men of the State. His political lie
has been brief, but il gave promise OF great use
fitness 10 the country, and honor 10 himself
We should be glad 10 see the appointment con-
TERED on Judge p. and believe such 10 be me

different quarters, Our distinguished, talented, ana
pure-minded ownsman, whose name stahus a'
the head Of this paragraph, is destined 10 sep
into the place recently occupied by Mr.. h,ses ~
the United States Senate. Judge PennypacRer
will happily unite in his support both Wings ana
Democrats. Let no one suppose that Judge r. 5
Democracy is Of questioned or questionao'e
character, because the Richmond Wing, Lexlns-
ION Gazette, and other prominent wing prin,s,
have indicated their preference Tor HIM. we
know Judge p. 10 be a Democrat OF the iirst
water, and OF The staunches kind. No man OF our
acquaintance is more thoroughly devoted 10 all
the great principles of the Republicans OF Vir-
ginia than he is. We have known him for many
years, and have seen him in various important
positions, and the same steady, unchangins, un,
wavering devotion 10 Republican principles and
measures has always distinguished him. Trne,
his digniiied position as Judge has not permitted
him to engage in the party conflicts OF The day;
but al the polls and al all other suitable places ne
has shown his abiding regard for his principles,
the glorious principles OF the party with which ne
has long been identified. Judge P. is, therefore, a
most suitable selection Of the Democracy oil Viz
ginia, for the place OF United States Senator. he
will do honor 10 the State in that most important
position. He has the talents-the unstained mo-
raj repu,ation-the dignity and elevation OF char
acler, which eminenly fit him for the place. We
do not wonder that his talents, and his elevated
tone Of moral sentiment, challenge even the ad-
miralion and support Of the enemies Of his prin-
ciples.

plants of The public at the heavy rates oil lare on
the Railroad from Washington 10 Baltimore, .nd'
the Maryland Legislature, at its late sess''h'
wishing to meet The wishes Of the travelling com
munily, authorized the Company TO reduce inc

cannot now advance the old pretext, that the L.

intended change-and il is fair TO infer, mat 'ne
Company will continue The present exorohah' anu
oppressive rates. This is point in which our
own railroads are deeply interested. But mere
is a remedy which the travelling public can ap-
ply 10 the mischief If the Washington and
Baltimore Railroad do not bring their prices
down, the public will be compelled TO avail them
selves Of the line of Stages running regularly be-

and from the lale accounts We are warranted in be-
lieving that the same fate will attend their exer-
lions 10 hoodwink the State Of Tennessee. In
chronicing The consistent acts OF Foster, the Union
might well have added 'for Texas and against

Tennessee politicians, or We would have placed
Mr.. Farley only "second best" We have a
Wing leader in our State TO whom even Mir
