OUR NEXT SENATOR-HUGH A. GAR

LhLSDj l@SAs
Messrs. Editors: On the 18th OF January next,
the Legislature of Virginia will be called upon TO
perform most important and solemn duty-one
which involves as well their own integrity as he
Interests and honor OF the State. ! refer 10 The
election OF a United States Senator in place
of William 8. Archer, Esq, whose term will
expire on The 4lh OF March next The names Of
several distinguished gentlemen, together with
their various qualifications and merits, have
been submitted 10 The consideration Of the MEM
bers OF the Legislature and, probably, either OF
them would make coed Senator But have
been somewhat surprised tina, have not seen in
your valuable paper The nomination o! one gen.

capable" as any yet mentioned-l alnfeto hugh
A. Garland, OF The town OF Petersburg. ltthere
is one man in the Commonwealth who has
served his party with undertaking consslen-
CIV, untiring zeal, and acknowledged ability,
That man is Hugh A. Garland. Tue, Of la'e
years, he has not been much engaged in the
political struggles OF The day, but ~ the days
OF Jackson and Van Buren,, when Democracy
was mol so popular as il is now, Mr. Garland was
the accredited and honored champion OF his par
" in the House OF Delegates, in which capacity
he did most valiant service. The journals Of The
House bear the strongest evidences OF his ability
and industry then; and there is no hazard in
making the assertion that he is The same consist
emf. able and Jealous Democrat mc'c that he was
then. In his retirement he has seen no cause for
desertng the good old Republican principles
which commanded and received The entire devo-
ton of his earlier and more active days. He
lives in The same faith now. He has had no
yauI,ing ambition 10 tempt him 10 renounce old
friends for any profit or reward, but under all
circumstances he has remained unchanged ard
,rne There is no better man in The whole Com
monweal h, and there is no honor which The Staie
could confer upon him of which he is not wor-
thy, nor is there any public station which ne
would mol fill with distinguished honor and credit,
both 10 himself and his Stale. JUSTICE.

reduced. Ii is the opinion Of well informed per-
sons, that in some counties at least two-ihrds of
them are supported by theft, and so great nuts

to give from 10 10 90 per cent more, il in neigh
