Next D. s. Senator.

The Eastern part Of Pennsylvania now
has a National Senator, and so has the
Western. The South has had several and
The North has had one. The Central part
we believe has had none. The Western
Senator's time expires with this Congress.
and the State Senators and Representatives
chosen next Fall, will elect his successor.
CENTRAL Pennsy Ivania claims the seat,
and if she backs up her claims by sending
true Tariff men to the Legislature. she can
readily secure it. Hon. JAS POLLOCK,
Of Northumberland county, is the man.
His location, his known ability, his tried
integrity, and bis popularity. all point him
out as the man for the times and for the
station. THE WEST BRANCH.

]. II. BEALE.

A member of Congress from the 10th district
in Virginia, has addressed letter to his constit-
uents, protesting against the schemes of South
ern Convention, and all projects of disunion. He
thinks that the passing Of any laws of such
nature as is spoken of in the resolutions would be
in violation of the rights Of the South, but even in
that emergency, he says:
81 do not hesitate to declare that it would be
better to throw ourselves under the protection OF
the broad shield of the Constitution and the laws
while they subsist than to resort to disunion, to
revolution, and force.n
The Richmond Enquirer is out in serious con-
demnation of the course of Mr.. Beale, questioning
mis- right to act independently In such matter
The Richmond (va) Whig remarks
"But Mr. Beales ex RECEPTIONS are more applicable
to the original proposition of the Select Commit
tee, than to that which has been adopted. This
last was drafted bya Wing, and it takes the sting
out of the other very effectually Ii strikes out
the pay featme-over which many a patriots
heart has mourned land by describing what a
real Southern Convention should be- it strips that
at Nashville Of all consequence. Wethink neither
Mr. Beale nor anybody else need fear danger
from an assembage which will have no authority
to bind any one and as its members are to defrsy
their own expenses, and act without authority, we
apprehend the attendance will be rather thin
We would scarcely indulge the hope, that the en-
thusisstic and disinterested Mr.. Henry A. wise
would venture on an excursion to Nashville, nj
his own proper cost and charges, and at the hss.
ard Of contracting the reputation of Hartford

imprisoned patriots, who will be equally eau

She has the plan of State Constitution; but IL

inhibition of Slavery contained in this plan OF
State Constitution, we do not hold that Congress
is 5ouud to sanction it, simply because the feopie
of California have adopted it. They had per-
feet right to incorporate such provision in their
pla. but it is for Congress to say whether it will
rejec. or not the plan for this reason or for any
other. With Mr. Foote, we hold that Congress
has right to admit, or deny admission as State
to, any political community, and that this right
should be exercised, not capriciOusly or arbitra-
rily, but wisely, for good and sufficient reasons
The inhibitory clause in relation to slavery, hav-
ing been adopted unanimously by "a Convention
of the People fairly represented, with fair
proportion of delegates who had emigrated from
the slaveholding States, must be deemed true
expression of the opinions and will of that People,
and as they are more directly and intimately con-
cerned than any other persons, that expression
should be held decisive, unless it can be shown
to conflict with the Constitution, with the rights
of any of the States with the essential interests
of the Union, or, what is the same thing, with

"The whole spirit of the North was being

Now these same presses asked the North for

He was sorry to see the leading press Of New

true, had recently begun it, Now there could be
no question but that the defeat Of General Cass

those doctrines in the Senate message was being
