From The Goshen Democrat Sep..4.
The Fort Wayne Sentinel has anticipated the wishes Of
the entire body Of the Northern Democracy by the an
nunciaton Of the name Of The Hon. E. NJ. CHAMBER
LAIN, as suitable candidate for The stasn of United
States Senator. We know indeed that Mr.. Chamberlain
has never expressed any wish aspiration for
the seat, but know also that he regards eleva
ton worthy the loest ambition Of sny CITIZEN and
10 be declined slight considerations Since the death
of our lamented Howard the Northern Democracy, with
singular unauimiiy. have looked TO Mr. Chamberlain
their next favore for the seat and with that view will
present his before the assembled Democracy Of the
State the ensuing Winter for their suiffages.

to resort TO petty ningues aud personal enteaes oop

ranks to secure an election, then will not Mr. Chamberlain
be elected All who know him. know that such IRE his
characteristics. Within the ten years. he has held
various situations OF public trust all Of which have been
obtained honoaby and fairly and filed with equal honor
and ability As legislator he Jealous ard indela

while at the sane time he paid due respect the para

he connived at no ntrigues. Wherever bis is
corded on the Journals of the House Senate there will
postey centuries hence pronounce the record of the
vote and opinions of an honest man. As Judicial off,
Ger succeeding 10 the post of President Judge Of the 9Th
Circuit, under storm of calumny and abuse, he has
orted praise from his enemies and golden opinions from
those whose esteem is worthy effort TO obtain As a
ciiIzen, he is justly esteemed by alias Democrat he is
of the straighest sect-bod fearless aud uncomproms
ing, adhering TO principles rather than to men, always
foremost in the advocacy Of the onward principles and
measures Of the progressive Democracy. - - .
Such man is E. NJ. Chamberlain, and Of such men
should the u s. Senate consist, The Democracy of 9TH
portions Of the Stale may do, but still
ask them weigh well the claims Of and let this great
question be decided in a spirit of harmony and
sion. and with eye single the interests of the Stale,
and the unity of the Democracy. With such decision
we shall be satisfied.
From the BrookpiUe american, (WhigJ Sept IL.
). L. PERKISs is recommended by the Richmond
Jeffersonan and the Muncieown Democrat for the U.
Senate They contend that the other Senator lives in
the West. the East part of the State will be entitled
the Senator this winter and that s. E. Perkins is well
qualified well located and better entitled to the station
than any other Democrat the State From these facts,
good reason why he should not be elected.
If we must have Democrat we would as soon have Nj
Perkins any.
Fron the Peoples Friend, September Is.
The democratic papers throughout the Stale have ex-
pressed their preferences for Senator The claims of
have been urged the expense of others, but all
has been done in spirit Of concession and harmony
It is right and proper that every who has preference
should make il known that the representatives of the
people may act sdvsedy. When Legislature can
select from among such men as Bright Whitcomb, Owen
Chamberlain Smith, Wright, and host of others WHOSE
have been mentioned there danger of gons
far as,ray in the selection. Any of them is wei
qualified for the station and would be honor the party
and State.
