ELECTION OF CHARLES SUMNER
Triumph In Massachusetts.

There is no man with human heart in his be-
dy, but rejoces with us in the election of CHAs.
SUMNER as Senator from Mass for sin years
Thus Massachusetts honors herself and the Un-
ion, while she reb9kes Daniel Webster and the
slavery-cottonng spirit Of the North A glori-
GUS ISSUE this, to the surrender of fugitive from
Massachusetts soiI-for no sooner had the slave
hunters in Boston secured their prey-no soon
er bad the big freightcd with Sims aud the price
of blool--no sooner had the seryile press Of Bos-
ton begun 10 c&ult over the seeming success of
the compromise measures of Congress, and the
settlement of the vexcd question by the superior
'oisdom % of the god-like Darrell whom with
the spindle and cotton bale, all Boston woyships,
than 10 a different scene is unfolding, The
representatives from Mass, who have set from
January to April, and have seen the degradation
of Boston, and Massachusetts laws trampled IN
der foot, and her statutes set at defiance, con-
clude that enough has been done for the propi-
tiatioh of the South, and think that something
had better be done for the glory of the cid Bay
State.
There is no doubt but that Sumner would have
been elected long before but for the illegal vo-
ting Of the friends of Winthrop. The sealed
envelope for the ballot was moved and ordered,
and Sumner s elected the first trial.
We can congratulate the whole world and the
crest of mankind, on the election to the U. s.
Senate of man who goes into the Office un-
bought and unbargancd with man who is en-
tirely independent Of all the questions that have
hitherto divided the wings and dcmocrats-a
man, who, when asked for pledges, (and who
could have been elected long weeks ago, if he
had just winked his eye 10 the hunkers,) pointed
to his past life and his published political speech
os, and told them to look at them for what they
wanted of Charles Sumner
We congratulate HUMANITY on the success OF
this glorious contest. Charles Sumner stands
before the nation an advocate of superior pow
er for the rights Of MANKIND. Charles Sumner
has been first and foremost in the advocacy of
the gospel of"pcace on Earth" Charles Sum
ner is the tried friend of the Iaborcr-he has ne
yer worshipped the ,goiden image which has been
set up in Boston-hc has never bowed to the
arstocracy of wealth. Massachusetts, need now
but elect Palfrcy and Rantool, and her cup of
glory will be full.
With Sumner in the Senate Manu. Palfroy
Rantoul and Allen in the House, Massachusetts
will shine brightest in the galaxy Of States, and
stand pillar OF fire to guide the hosts struggling
for freedom to victory and success.
Resignation of tho New Work Senators.
The resignation of II of the State Senators
Of New York is making good deal of talk all
over tho kingdom. The Wing press, in a body,
in the State of \. Y. are very much enraged at
It.
The facts arc briefly these: There was ,nca-
sure introduced to pledge the faith of the State
for nine millions of dollars for the enlargement
and completion of the Erie Canal. Some of the
Senators contended that this measure was I'M
constitutional, because, that instrument had pro-
vidcd other means for etIec;ing the Improvement.
But those in favor ofcarrying the measure were
in the majority, and could do as they pleased
There was only one way for the minority to de-
feat the bill, and that was by rcsiEning their Of
fees and leaving the Senate without a consttu-
tiona working number. This they resolved 10
do and this they done The Governor has call
oil an extra session Of tho Legislature, which is
to convene at Albany on the l0th of June
meanwhile the question of the propricty of re-
signing their seats will bc submitted to the con-
stituoncy Of those Senators, Who will endorse
their acts by reelection. or rcbuke them by
electng others to fill their places.
Isaac II. walker ana the Compromise.
This gentleman, in speech made at the sup
per got up for his honor, is represented having
made the following remarks, and he owns that
they are correct:
The great and leading question upon which
il has been my duty 10 aCtas one OF Wisconsin ;
Senators, has been the Slavery question. This
is now scttIcd--I believe happily settled but
whether so or not, is question to be- solved and
determined by time CT one thing am at least
satisfied that the Sctll -meat or adjustment of
this question in the manner il wa, done, has ac-
eomplished what should DO the highest earthly
aim Of the patriot--tho preservation Of the l.
mon"
It seems, then, that thi, doughty champion of
LAID Reform goes il distinctly for the Fugitive
Slave Law, aud the "pcaco measures of the
iast Congress We'll, We don't believe he
knows what he is going for, unless it is nom
ination for the presidency for certainly he ro'sd
against the very measures which he now declares
were so necessary for the preservation of the
Union" What does the man mean Has lie
forgotten what kind of INK he wanted to use
when he Fned the bobbcrIiliou.stsl But, sori-
ously, if the Land Reiormers intend to make a
president of him, the sooner they appoint com
mittee for him the better. We like Senator
Walker for some things. We can forgive hin
thousand little sins for the admirable human
speech he made ~ the Senate last winter. We
like his advocacy and devotion to the measure OF
Land Reform-but upon oar soul we cannot Ii
vine the object OF his tergiyersations WRITINGS,
somersets and doubeshutllcs ON the slavery
question Isaac be a MAN.
