ELECTION OF U. 5. SENATOR

We congratulate our readers and the pub
lie upon the result of the election of Hon.
Richard Broadhead, as U. s. Senator, in
place of Mr.. Sturgeon. Our first choice,
it is true, was Gen. Cameron, but next TO
him, none of the distinguished candidates
before the Convention, could have proved
more acceptable than MIR. Broadhead. We
have known Mr.. Broadhead since his debut
into political life, which was as a member
of the Legislature from Northampton coun-
ty, during the memorable Buckshot war,
and afterwards as member of Congress.
Mr.. Broadhead has always been a consist
ent tariff democrat, and has always been, in
Congress and out of it, in favor OF protect
ing the great interests of Pennsylvania
We therefore look upon the election of MIR.
Broadhead as a great triumph over free
tradeism, factlonism and cliqueism. As a
triumph in favor of the policy of the tariff
democrats, triumph in favor OF Gen CaSs,
and what will prove as gall and wormwood
to the revlers and opponents of Gen. Cam
eron, a triumph in favor Of that gentleman,
whose warm personal and political friend
he always has been. If the Chinese Mu-
scum was properly designated by the friends
of Henry Clay, as great National Slaugh-
ter House, when the friends of that great
man sacrificed him in the National Conven-
ton OF May 1S4S, what term should we
apply to the great abattoi at Harrisburg,
which inundated, in one fell swoop, James
Buchanan, Judge Woodward, Judge Black
aud a host of others of that genus, who
have been thus suddenly checkmated and
overtbrown.
, We are credbly Informed that the pccu-
liar friends OF these gentlemen were per-
tectly willing TO bring about in caucus, a
recon sideration and defeat of Mr.. Broad
heads nomination, but the firm and deter
mined stand taken by the friends of Cen
Cameron, in favor of MIR. Broadhead, foiled
all their efforts. The true friends of De.
mocracy and the great interests of Penn
sylvania, have reason to congratulate them
selves. The HunkerS and Free traders
who would sell the State for a mess of pot
tage have been most sgnally rebuked, and
suddenly swallowed up in vortex formed
by their own Vaccinations.

Our package of last weeks papers for Nor

the request OF one of our subscribers from

erect and exhibiting extreme fear, refused TO
enter, when Mr.. p, tying a rope around the
dogs's neck, entered himself dragging his
dog after him. The panther fed by another
entrance and took to a very tall spruce tree
near by. Mr.. p. now climbed the ledge oi
rocks overhead and thus found himself on Il
level with the tree top and distant about fifty

hid in the dense top, but catching glimpse
of him he fred in quick succession two balls
into his body.
