sterling and tried dcmocrat-the man who will
faithfully carry out the principles Of Virginiahas
been elected to the Senate, as the successor of the
renegade Rives.
From the same paper at later date
The new senator is gentleman OF fine abilities
the soundest republican principles-a practical
satesnlar--and man of unspotted moral charac-
ter. In all the public stations to which he has
been called, he has discharged his duties with a
frmness and fidelity that has secured public appro-
baton, and the confidence, respect, and esteem OF
his countrymen. The past iustfes the belief that
he will win new laurels in the Senae-that he will
add to his already high reputationand that he will
ably and faithfully maintain the cherished princi-
Piles of Virginia, and only reflect her wishes. We
rejoice that one so worthy has been chosen.
From the winchester virginian.
We congratulate the State on the prompt election
Of representative of Virginia doctrines, and Vir-
GINA interests, to the Senate of the United States.
Judge Pennybackcr will never disappoint the con-
fdence of the legislature, so Justly and generously
reposed in him. He will carry into the Senate OF
the Union the high qualities of statesman displayed
at an eventfu period in the House Of Representa-
tives, rpened by the long experience Of an able
and lahorous Judge. The west particularly, as
well as the whole State, will have reason to thank
our democratic Legislature for their prompt and
judicious selection, and we are sure the Tenth
Legion of democracy will Justly appreciate the hon
or,conferred upon her favorite SON."
From the Chsrlestown Spirit Of Jefferson.
With promptness has the legislature Of Virginia
discharged at least one of the responsible duties for
which il convened. A republican senator has been
chosen, to represent the will and wishes of the Old
Dominion. One, too, who is identified with her
principles devotedly attached to her interests, and
whose high and lofty intellect we cannot but believe,
will be devoted to her welfare. or Judge Penny
hacker, we can add nothing to the high euogium
paid him by Mr.. Denson, of Shenandoah, when
presenting his aame to the House Of Delegates. To
the people Of western Virginia, Judge p is well
known, and among her many favorite sons, he
stands, and has stood, at the head In his election,
the rights of the west have been maintained, and a
compliment so justly due to the Tenth Legion cheer
fully awarded. We doubt not his career in the
Senate will fully equal the high expectation Of his
friends, and rebound alike to his own credit, and the
honor Of our ancient Commonwealth.

JUDGE PENNYBACKER,
THE NEW SENATOR FROM VIRGINIA.
From the Bait Republican
Judge p. is gentleman Of splendid abilities, and
a democrat of the Jefferson school.
From the Valley Star.

\ from Tue alley star.
We have barely space to say that Judge Penny
backer-,he noble son of the "Tenth Legion"-the
sterling and tried dcmocrat--the man who will
faithfully carry out the principles of Virginia-has
been elected to the Senate, the successor of the
renegade Rives.
