Among the business which comes before the pre-
sent Legislature, is the election Of United States
Senator to take Mr.. Hales place after the 4th OF
March next and the districting of the State for
the election of members Of the lower branch Of Con-
gress, our proportion having been reduced, under
the late census, from four to three Both of these
subjects will 60 over until next session. There is
m active contest going on among the democratic
aspirants for the Senatorshp. The candidates are
Messrs. j. S. Wells, of Exeter; Edmund Burke, Of
Newport; Harry Hbbard (not Henry Hubbard), Of
Bath; II Peaslee, OF Concord (the two last, mem
bew of the present Congress); Ex-Governor Dins-
more, Of Keene, and others. The friends Of Mr..
Wells seem to have been, thus far, the most active.
They have pressed election at the present session,
but, rs learn, were defeated in caucus, last even
ing by the friends Of the other candidates, who
ceeded in carrying adjournment of the election to
the next session, by vote OF 50 to 63.
