States ,Seadte-His speech.
On Monday the 10thinst., the Hon. Robert
Toombs was chosen by the Legislature of
this State to I'll the vacancy in the Senate ofI
the United States which will be oceasioned
by the expiration Of the term of service of
Mr.. Berrien on the 4th of March, 1853.
Although Mr. Toombs has just been elected
a member Of Congress from the eighth Con-
cressional district, his commission will eX-I
pir6. on the 4th day Of March, 1855, and he
will thus be in .. position to take his seat In
the Senate without involving the necessity
Of special election to fill his scat in the
House of Representatives. This considera-
ton, at once, dispels the objection raised by
some to conferring q new commission on cur
public men before the one received by them
from the people has expired.
The vote by which this distinguished son
Of G Gcorgia was elected to the Z. S. Senate,
BIS highly nattering to him being 100 out
of lI2 votes, and eyincing q unani1nity rare
on such eoecasions. Indeed, so completely
identified has he been with the victory gained
in this State in favor of the compromise and
the Union, that allseyess seem to have been
directed to him as the proper representative
in the u. States Senate ofthe great principle
established by it Those who endorse those
principles willheartilyrejoice at. the endorse
Ement by Georgia of one Of their ablest and
Emost devoted champions.
On the evening Of the day Of his election
Eby the legislature, 1t was announced that he
