u. s, Senator.

The selection of an individual to fill the important
station of United States Senator from Indiana,
dered vacant by the expiration Of Albert s. Whites
term, seems to occupy incOnsderabe share Of the
attention of the Democratic press throughout the
State Every section of the State has its candidate,
and every candidate his supporter. Some are advo-
eating the claims of their fvorites almost solely
local grounds-because ne lives III the North or in
the South, the East, or the West. Others again,
speak Of the talents and capacity the first recon-
mendation to the Office. The latter, think will be
the ground on which our representatives at Indiana
polls will ultimately make the selection. And il
ought to be. The people of our own State-the Peo-
pie of the Union, who have bid Indiana such hear
ty welcome into the Democratic ranks-expect to see
the Office of Senator filled by of her most gifted
sons, one of her giants in intellect. While We have
the opportunity, it is duty to fill the office with
who Will do honor to the State, who will recon-
cile all sectional preferences, and who will be fully
able 10 cope with the most talented in the Senate
Chamber.
We have every confidence that our Representatives
will make proper selection, when the time arrives.
To their hands the people have committed the task,
which trust they will execute free from the dicta-
ton or intrigue of designing
The discussion at present going on relative to the
claims of the different candidates, will be productive
of much good. 1t will tend to harmonic and con-
centrate public sentiment, before the Legislature
meets, and enable the members to their way
clearly before casting their votes faught with such
important resuls.-NeW Harmony Statesman, Sept

Trufh from a Wind.

Speaking of the election of U. S. Senator the
Bloomington Herald of Oct. H. says:
''No party can encourage factions in the ranks of
its political opponents without melting like factions
in its own To day democrat, not the choice of
his party, is elected to office by the aid ofwhg votes;
and the next day, when the wings have power, we
find political factionst pushing himself forward,
encouraged thus act, from the hope that the demo-
Gratis to avenge themselves will elect him because he
is not the choice of his party Thus it is that neither
party elect the most acceptable to it, and men OF
inferior ability are elevated to Office. Nor does this
policy has been the result in the elevation to pow
of moderate men, whose will be to restrain
party excess for the Indiana State Journal has truly
observed, ''they become the ultra in order to
propitiate the wrath of their political friends But
another evil consequence also results. When the
best talent of party-men who combat for principle
find they pushed aside, and others elevated to
Office, whose selfshneSs led them 10 thwart the will
of their party, and who of inferior abity-they
withdraw themselves from politics. Thus the affairs
of Government falling into the hands of corrupt,
uiguing and selfish men, are mismanaged; and by
that Encouragement odium Is brought upon the whole

few of them attempted to work. but the vast
majority Of them still refuse either to work themselves
or to suffer others to do So This latter class turned
out great concourse, and by force, took temporary
possession Of most of the Factories and compelled
those who had recommended work to quit, and
join the majority. When they lad got through this
operation, they adjourned to the Tabernacle, where

my experience of editorial life. Although there are

experienced the bitter tempests OF political rancor

Native, views from n wing quarter

'Nativism' says the Ohio Statesman is nothing but
Whiggism run to seed. Some Wings despise 'nativ-
ISM others love it, cherish it, and do all they can to
to advance its principles-it is a question Of time,
merely, to the triumph of this latter portion of the
Wings; and it will be well for voters of foreign

any connection with party which affords any
tenance the aud contracted spirit of nativ

Mr. sIerriu and Up. Duuu.

We published last week, the compromise of their
lawsuit by Messrs. Dunn and Merrill. On further
inquiry learn that the suit had been pending about
eighteen months, that the Plaintiff made no effort TO
bring the cause to trial, that the Defendant relied on
Pleas of Justification alone, but that weared out with
the delay and having no longer any interest In main-
tanning the charge, willing to end the matter by
Withdrawing it, rather than continue an Improbable,
Polecat, contest Mr. Dunn appears to have been
easily satisfied when he does not insist the
RICHNESS untruth Of the charge but merely that it
shall be withdrawn or TAKEN BACK, though as 10
this, the Capital Letters are of his manufacture.
