be raised with the facility you suppose. 1t would not
be practicable to obtain from Congress Of in

constitutional power to pass It; but an act OF ncopo-
ration might be got rn one OF the stae legislatures,
which would answer all purposes. Ia the meantime,

Flee TION OF i. 5. SENATOR.


twill be seen from the proceedings of the
Legislature Saturday, that the Senate adopted
resolution, which met with the concurrence OF the
House, to proceed on Thursday, the 22nd inst,
to the election of u. S. Senator, to supply the
vacancy which will be created by the expiration
of the term of service of Mr. Hunte~, at the end
of the present session of Congress. We see il
stated in various quarters, that the claims OF Mr.
Henry A. Wise will be urged for the post, and
that he will probably receive the undivided sup
mort of Western Democrats. Should this be the
real purpose of Western gentlemen we may an
tcipate fierce struggle between them and MIR.
Hunters friends in the East.
The Wing members of the Legislature VIII
feel little interest in contest between Messrs.
Hunter and Wise, and we heartily join the Pc

of such a contest, they will keep aloof, and per-
nit the Democracy to fight it out themselves
