u, s, SENATOR.

There is a communication in the last
Democrat" purporting to come from Boon.
vile, which very warmly recommends Mr..
c. F. jackson for the United States Senate,
in place of Hon. D. r. Alchison. 1t is
understood here, among Mr.. Jackson's i'm
mediate friends, tina, he will be candidate
for that distinguished post. He was put in
nomination for the State Senate, with that
in view. 1t was considered necessary for
him to be in the Legislature, and as there
was considerable doubt as to whether he
could be elected to the House from Howard,
the aspirants for the State Senate from this
district were gotten out of the way, so that
the majority in Charlton would render his
election certain. Ifa wrong calculation
has not been made in this respect, there is
an unlocked for obstacle, in our present
Senator. Mr.. Atchison, who, if he ever had
any notion of retiring from the Senate, has
altered his mind, and will be candidate
for reelection. We therefore think old
Howard has rather poor chance of being
represented in the Senate of the United
States.

a man who opposes them, they are going
counter 10 their own interests. Why do
it? Is party associations and consistency

the country? If so, sustain them by vo.

Wilson, who, had he been in Congress
would have given the above resolutions a
warm support.
The above resolutions embody senti.

JOHN A. DIx.--We have seen a letter,
says the Buffalo Republic, from our distin-

He avows himself with them in everything.
He is opposed, also, to any compromise of
the slavery question, and will vote against
any bill which contemplates the planting of
slavery upon free soil. .......

SPEAKING AT GILVIN'S.

A correspondent of the last democrat
abiding to our notice of the speaking at
Gilvin's, says "he can recognise nothing
said Of il as more than fancy sketch, or
perverson of truth" Now, we obtained
the facts from an eyewitness, and we are
assured our version, in all essential particu.
lars, was correct. Mr.. Myers is sneeringly
styled "a pink of whiggery," "barefacedly
stating that tax was levied on the labor
ers' hire" "Verila" must be uncommonly
ignorant of the statutory pr DIVISIONS of our
State, not to know there was law passed
at the las, session of the Legislature, laying
tax of one per cent on every person en-
ployed at stated salary; and does not a
laborer receive stated salary?
On the subject of internal improvements
Mr.. Myers so effectualy showed up the
do nothing policy of the democrats, tina,
Maj. Jackson was utterly non-plusscd.
Major Jackson's friends are sore over
the fall he got on that occasion--and our
prediction has been verified; for at the
speaking next day, Mr.. Myers was called
to answer Gen. Redman, when he declined,
stating that he attended only for the pur-
pose of confronting Maj. Jackson, which
he stood ready TO do. The Major was not

"TAX LAW-UNFAIRNESS OF IT."
In our remarks on the unfairness of the
operations of The Tax Law, and in speak

ted that Mr. Jackson introduced that fea-
ture as an amendment to the law. We
have not had an opportunity of examining

chanic; it taxes the overseer; it taxes the
clerk; it taxes the stage driver-it taxes
every body, in short, who labors for a sala
ry, because the only reservation made is
useless.
This is the law for which Mr.. Jackson
voted--but he is truly sorry for it now!
Who ever saw a criminal arraigned before
the bar of justice, but what was peniten,!
Penitence, however, does no, bring TO life
the victim, or restore the plunderings OF
the high wayman: nor does it make any
restitution TO those who have been plum
dered by this infamous law. No govern.
ment can, or ought to prosper, when its
wheels have to be kept rolling by such un-
fair and oppressive laws--and the repre-
sentative who would sanction them, under
any circumstances, is unworthy of the
confidence Of an intelligent and free peo-
pie.
