CHARLES Sumner was yesterday elected Senator
to congress for six years from March 4, 1851.
Those democrats who have given the lie to theiI
previous professions-who have deserted the nation
al platform to become the Iackeys of such caumnia
tors of Jackson and Polk as Keyes and Bird, and
such tools OF hard-cider whiggery as Wilson g. Co.
have the consolation of knowing that they have heer
nosed into the support of whg free-so, abolition
agitator, and have sent such politician Washing
ton to represent them at the seat of government!
whlg VINO refused TO support Gen. Taylor because he
was not wing enough-an agitator who would sacri-
fee the safety of the Union by aggavatag sectional
aninosity-an abolitonist no would. treat the laws
of the constitutional Legislature of his country as the
colonists did the oppressive edicts of tyranncal
pow er-thls is the political beauty the coalition dem
ocras have voted for member of the United States
Senate
