Tree iroh tne polltcal SnackleS Oh edctis oatis-
fed that his district is strongly in favor Of Mr..
Hamlin's election, he has uniformly voted for
him in the Senate ballotngs, and we have no
doubt will continue SO 10 do, until Mr. Hamlin
is elected.
The eighth District is represented by George
NJ. Chase. an eminent lawyer of Washington
County. Mr.. c. is A years of age. His ap-
pearance indicates i'll health, and indeed he has
been an invalid for several years. MIR. c. has
the reputation of being honest in his predilic-
tions against the Wilmot Proviso, and only
opposes Mr.. Hamlin's reelection upon this
ground. He is working man, notwithstand-
ing his feeble health, and as Chairman of the
Judiciary Committee is ever at his post. He
speaks with earnestness, makes use of no un-
necessary language, but lacks the fuency or
command of language that Aessrs. Shepley
ar Bradbury possess. The opposition to Mr..
Hanlin could not sustain itself for moment in
the Senate, without the aid of Messrs. Chase
and Sheplcy. and we may add Mr.. Cary.
Mr.. Cary represents the ninth District, is A
years of age-we have previously alluded to
him. f-.t.. .-.. ,-.
The tenth District is represented by Amos
Pickard, of Hampden, William r. Hersey, of
Lincoln, and Nehemiah Bartlett, of Gariand.-
Mr.. Pickard is IS years of age: this is his Sec
ond Senatorial year, and we hesitate not in
ranking him as one of the most efficient, indus
trious legislators at the board. He is eminent
ly practical MAINTAINING been engaged good
portion of his life in the capacity of a school
teacher-latterly his time has been devoted to
agricultural pursuits He is one of those men
that make themselves active and useful in every
sphere of life. Three years actual observation
of the workings of slavery in Florida, convinced
him of the evils and horrors of the institution,
and in opposing its extension sinister mo-
tives can be imputed to him. In the Commit
tee room ct the Senate board, he is always .on
duty" and keeps himself thoroughly posted up
on all matters requiring legislation. He is no
lengthy speaker, but sets forth his views with
tersencss and brevity, which is quite as eff
fective the windy speeches of some would
be orators. Mr.. Hamlin's interests are as safe
in his hands, as in those of any other man in
the State. He is a whole-souled, open hearted
honest politcian-and being one of the people,
he is just the man that the people delight to
honor. Mr. Hcrsey is few years the senior
of Mr.. Pickard, being 80 years of age-his sun
burnt countenance indicating his pursuit to be
that Of cultivator of the soil. The interests
of the State will not be neglected, while under
his supervision. Not a talking man, his mind
is generally made up when the question is to be
taken, and his vote will generally be found on
the right side. Mr.. Bartlett is 40 years of age,
Just in his prime, and prime, Just man. He is
independent enough to act from honest convic-
tons, and is always ready to give reason for
the "faith that is in him." He has the ele-
ments of making a good speaker, if cultivated.
Penobscot County we put down represented
by "A No. T. men.
Ozias Blanchard, of Blanchard, represents
the eleventh Senatorial District. He is far
mer, 46 years of age-rather too much tine
tured with a5olitionism to be useful man.
He was elected by vote-and is one of the
fruits growing out of the coalition of the wings
and abolitionists at the last election. lie and
his whig free soil brethren are too much inter-
csted in the principles which they profess to
espouse, to discriminate between a democrat
who takes such decided stand against the ex-
tension of slavery as does Mr. Hamln, and a
phig whose principles are not whit stronger,
and by sustaining whom for the important sta
ton of Senator to Congress, only endangcrs the
election Of the man who alone has a chance of
success. The nhiggery of such men overshad-
ows all appearance of devotion to principles.
| The twelfth Senatorial District is represent
ed by the President of the Senate, Hon. Pau
linus NJ. Foster, (of whom we have before spok-
en,) and Eleazer Croker, of ST. Adams. Mr..
Croker is 46 years of age, farmer, and man
who, we hesitate not in chalking down as hav-
ing mind Of his o,cn. He makes up his mind
and like old Jackson, he then takes The rcspon-
sibiLty. He is averse to the agitation of the
slavery question and opposes Mr.. Hamlin's re-
election. He is an upright. active politician,
of no little influence in his County-seldom
speaks, and uotes Just as he pleases. The rep
resentation from Somerset. in talent and re-
spectabilty, compares favorably with that of
|
any other County.
Newman I. Allen, of Industry, is the sole
representative of the 18th District. Mr.. A. is
pleasant, social, intelligent merchant of some
forty-nine summers, of quiet and unobtrusive
habits. Belonging to the ,rhig party, we do
not consider ourselves ''bound' to know much
about him.
The foprtcpnth Senatorial District ia repro
sented by James Hobbs, Jr., of Fryeburg, No
ah Prince, of Buckield, and Robert A. Chap
man of Bethel. No one could discover in Mr.
Hobbs honest looking "pkiz" aught but good
humor and pleasantly. Of fifty years of age,
cultyator of the soil, he has 8lso paid some
attention to cultivating the young idea in its
shooting propensities. Mr.. II. is well-in-
formed, intelligent man. and quite ready, apt
debater. Not particle of ,riekery will ever
be found attached to his coat -faiis,-our word
for it. Mr.. Prince is 50 years of age, "plain,
blunt farmer, that speaks right OUT" and gen.
orally talks plain, common sense. Mr.. Chap
man has numbered but AZ years-his trig, neat
appearance is sufficient assurance that with
him, nothing is ever out of order" He keeps
a vigilant eye upon public business, and never
assents to the final passage of bill that he is
not familiar with, without acquainting him
self, by calling for the reading of it. lie means
to do about right.
Having glanced at each Senator, we must
now draw our sketch to close. If we have
not given a correct nortraiture, il must be as.
