U. S. SENATOR.

The Valley Star Of last week expresses itself
In favor of VIM. Smith, (extra Billy) for IT, S.
senator, II the Senator is to come from Eastern
Virginia. Ii from the West, it expresses its
preference OF Judge Isaac S. Pennybacker. AS
no Wing can be elected, it is a matter of not
much consequence to US who receives the spoils.
But how is the Old Dominion fallen, if no more
suitable name can be presented than that of VIM.
Smith, most adroit dehater, we admit, on the
stump, but who never distinguished himself even
nm the House Of Representatives. What kind of
a hgure would he cut in the Senate If the
East can give US none but VIM. Smith, we hope
mat the West may have the choice, and in that
event, we would concur with the Star for once,
and hope that Judge Pennybacker may be elected
Onr only objection is that the Bench would be
deprived, by his election to the Senate, of an a.
bic and upright Judge, whose place it would be
no easy matter to suppiy.-Lerington Gazette
We see that the prints of the Valley, are urg-
ing the claims of Judge Isaac S. Penny hacker, of
Shenandoah, for seat in the United States SEN
ate. Apart from politics, there are few more es-
Unable gentlemen in the State, than Judge p.
and, 1t we are to be represented by Locofoco,
In the Senate, there is man Of that stamp,
whom we would prefer to Judge Penny backer.E
we believe him honest in his purpose, which is
more than can be said Of all, of the same party.
however, we think that we can see a little fur
ther into this move, than Bird can fly, and will
content ourselves by merely asking, if, in the
event OF electng this gentleman to the Senate.
There would not be new District judge TO elect
6y MI Polk! If so, then, the people in the
valley, twill see what they will see.''-Vhig.
