"Mr. S. was the nominee of the Democratic caucus.
as well as OF the Free Soil caucus and received the votes
OF all the Democrats Of The Senate, 1--WE beleye and of
| nearly all the Democrats of the House.
| IAe election OF Rantoul and Sumner from Massa-
chusets are signs Of the changing times. They show
tnat Inc scepe OF that moneyed power is broken
which allenated her from her sisters Of the confede.acy

~ Mr Sumner is one OF the ablest men in tse Union.
MS election will be felt rebuke TO the Fillmore and
Webster administration, but the influence of his talents
and genius will, we believe, be felt long after that ad
nnlstration and its members have disappeared from
the stage oil action"
The Evening Post, which is now to be regarded az
the authorized organ of the Democratic party, thus
in like manner announces the election OF Mr.. Sum-
ner - Ft
Charles Sumner the candidate of the Free Soil and
Democratic party Tor the vacant 10 the u States
Senate has been elected and Mr. Winthrop thu candi-
date OF the manufacturing and pro-slavery interest has
been defeated.
eve have elassed him with the Democrats, because
that, all issues which have been made between him
and his opponents in the Legislature, he has occupied
Democratic position and we have doubt that all
his sympathes and convictions will lead him to main
tain that position.
ellis election likewise adds cue to the small band of
nf1exbles in the United States Senate, who cannot be
made to yield inch Of principle in defence or toe-
These "infexibIes" are John P. Hale, Of New Hamp-
shire, 5. + Chase, Of Ohio, Charles Sumner of Mas
sachusetts, and one other, whose name we have men,
toned.
We add the following from the Boston Common
wealth.
Not Wing voted for Sumner, from beginning to
end except MIR. Borden OF Fall River, who voted un-
der Instructions"
We commend all this to the attention of the Union
and beg the Democrats of the South to be humbug-
ged by such poor cheats have now exposed
And we may add what is true OF Massachu etts is to
a great extent true of New York. The sole organ OF
the Democratic party here is ultra Free Soil paper,
while at Albany, during the winter past, we beheld
the lion and the lamb Of Hunkerdom and Free Soil
ism combined in joint embrace for common party
organization throughout the State and tor all time
to come. The Barnburners too led the way and COM
manded the recent Legislative revolution at Albany,
and same wing OF the Democracy we're boasting-
y victorious, last week. in a struggle for ascen-
dency in the choice OF officers for 1851 So in the re-
nowned Society OF ST. Tammany. We trust and be-
ieve that there many good Democrats who will re-
fuse to be thus branded by the selfish leaders, but true
nevertheless that both in Massachusetts, and New YorN
such combination has been formed.

GIRDLING THE GLoBE.-A writer in the Lon
don Mechanics Magazine talks of a magnetic
telegraph around the world as among the proba-
bilities. He says that an electric telegraph to
Calais is not thing which will stop there
1t is telegraph to Vienna, to Moscow, to Con-
stantinope, to lspahan, to Delhi, to Calcutta-1n
the remotest bounds, in short, of Europe and Asia
A few years ago people laughed when Lord Pal
merston predicted, at the Southampton meeting of
the British Association that time might come
when the Minister of the day. being asked in Par
lament whether it was true that war had broken
out in India, would reply "Wait an instant till l
telegraph the Governor General, and I will tell
you" What was thought but a good joke in
l843, is now in 1850 in the course of being &C.
tually accomplished, and ere few years more is
likely to take its place amongst the sober realities
Of the age. Nor to the Old World alone need our
view of the ultimate progress of eectro-telegra-
ply be confined; for, since the English chan
mel has been crossed, the crossing of the Irish
must follow as buta matter ofcourse; and, Ireland
once reached, there lies but a couple of thousand
miles of water or so between the Old World and
the New.-Salem Gazette.

PLANT TREEs.-A little attention, little more
thought of the morrow, q little more faith in what a
day or year may bring forth, with shady groves
and fruitful yards. Plant vine here, and a tree
there; send or 60 to your neighbours orchard
and clip bud or a shoot, and insert one in
every stock that does not already produce fruit.
Plant trees by the fence sides; the root will pene
trate beneath them and draw sustenance from
ground you cannot cultivate Set stout and
thrifty grape root directly where the soap suds
from the kitchen will be daily thrown, and in
three years time, you will have a fruit-bearng
screen to hide the view of some unsightly place.
give you this timely notice, that you may not
let this Spring pass by without making the attempt,
at least, to follow my good advice.

THE DAILY TIMES.
From the New York Tribune.
THE VIRGINIA CONVENTION

The discussion on the basis of representation
which has already occupied so much time in the
Constitutional Convention Of Virginia is not We,
concluded. Henry "A. Wise has been making
very long speech in defence of the Democratic
doctrine. He contends for what is called the
Suffrage Basis, for representation according te
white population. At the same time, he avows
his readiness to yield to any compromise the
Convention may agree on and the people accept
though with determination still agitate for
what he conceives to be the only right ground to
build Government upon. We have not seen
any report of this speech by Mr. Wise, but,
Judging from his previous efforts in the Con-
ventlon, if must have been marked by passages
ofgreat eloquence and briliancy With all his
democracy he avows himself thorough pro-sla-
very man, and his appeals to Eastern members
not to array the West against slavery by subject
ing it to the government of slaveholding mi
nority in the East, show that he understands
what will most surely tend to the security of that
sort of property.
Excellent speeches on the same side have been
made by several members from the West; among
them, one by Mr.. Letcher, was particularly
sound and instructive. The Eastern members
have also sustained their cause with marked abb
lily; indeed, we haue not followed the proceed
ings of any recent deliberative body with so much
interest as those of this Convention. Of the
two parties the East seems rather the more heat
ed, and the most positive threats of dividing the
State have been put forth by that side. On Mon
day last Mr.. Summers, Western man, offered
a proposition for submitting the entire question of
the basis to the people, so that they shall decide
whether it shall be mixed or white one. On
this proposition no action has yet been had.
