0trThe following communications on the subject

.nessrs. Editors IL from your paper, as well as
from other papers the State that the Senatorial election
be made winter in the Legislature attracting
good deal Of attention aud elcng considerable discussion
am glad is for in other way the voice of
the People be efectuay heard and obeyed The
people should be aroused for this election is a matter
which belongs to them, and to them alone, much
though they themselves cast the votes instead of their
Representatives; and the only question which Repre-
sentative should ask himself when he casts his for
Senator would be Is he the choice Of the People tohOm
representS Tried by this test, does any considerable
portion of the Democratic Party in any section of the
State believe but what Gov Whiicomb would be their
choice. That he is of talents, of integrity, OF
learning and of great political knowledge, and fine,
that he admirably qualified for that high station,
doubts. Now could the question as 10 Who shall be
elected merit pinter to the IT, S. Senate from his State
be submitted the of Democrats of lndIana
am firmly convinced that nineteen trentiehs would
respond JAMES WnITcoMB. The great body of the
People heard of of the individuals whose
names mentioned in connection with this election
And in avowing this preference for Gov. Whitcomb
do desire be understood dsparaging the claims
Of those individuals But the People do not yet know
them they do him. Let me ask your readers this
question-Wh0 Of all prominent an Indiana has
done the most to TeoOu0nze the State and place her ceTe
she proudly stands RURcbe Democratic basis
Why il is admitted on all hands that Whcomb has
Wings whose blows hurt them the and the worst in
the of lS43, aud with woe BECOME faces they
will give the same Then, order to render
political JUSTICE by all MEANS should be elected II
those who have rendered the most valuable services 10
party and in the promotion Of principles are TO
be displaced by those whose talents and services in the
thickest of the fight have been only Of tng Importance
it will be but short time until we shall have no one
ready and willing combat the enemy, and Federalism
will be permitted again take possession OF the councils
| OF the State and Nation.
Ii has been said by few who oppose the Governor
that the party will need his next summer as
candidate for the office he holds But believes now
that he has pared the tray, elect some other good
man: for Instance 1t Gov. Bright, or Joseph A Wright
Of Parke county. Jesse ID. Bright for Governor, and
Whitcomb for Senator, believe will be sanctioned by
| the of the People Of the State.
Let meetings be called they soon viii be- IN different
counties appoint Delegates to the State Convention on
the 9Th of January and at those meetings let The
People express their preferences this question: In he
absence Of positive Instructions let each Democrat IN the
Legislature before he leaves home ascertain she wishes
his constituents and if should prove that some Other
than Wbitcomb is the choice OF the people, why he, o.
course, should be elected. Let motto always bt
" Union, harmony and concession 5; every thing tor The
cause, aud noiIi6g for men"
! ONE OF THE PEOPLE.
