We have seen it stated in several of our dem
ocratic papers Of late, that Gen. Morgan intenas
to present himself as a candidate for the Y. >.
Senate in 1854 These statements were a. .fs

more recently, if we read it right, there must Ger
tainlv be some truth in the remarks. He now
tells us that looking SO far ahead is only bor-
rowing trouble = that is we may expect to real
ize the event soon enough without anticipating
it. He further says that history informs us
" that rumors sometimes return to plague the
perpetrators, and that prophecy Itself, whether
prompted by good or evil, often turns out 10 be
history" Certainly it does, for :,
"Coming events cast their shadowes before,
The plain English Of what the Genera 'el's

upon the question, and like belle IN pail room
is only waiting for little more solicitation; and

ing subject.
We think our neighbor does decided injustice
to his standing in the party. in supposlng, as ne
does, that mis- political aspirations are viewed by
any portion of the democracy with feelings OF
horror =; we can assure him that It is quite the
contrary as far as we are concerned. Inns Is
CARRYING his modesty entirely too far.
He says that he has always given his " best
support to Gen. Dodge !" in all his contests fol
place. We concur in this, and give him credit
for it. We presume he means the support OF hl'
competition as an aspirant for the same once
with the consequent benefit OF the contrast
Support OF this kind could not fail to be ettlca-
cious; and should it in future be needed, though
we have reason to suppose 1t will, 1t must ot
gratifying 10 the friends of the above namet
gentleman to know that it will be forthcoming
The g Telegraph" says that the support 0
Gen. Jones is our " manitest destiny" W.
doubt it this would be trespassing upon the pc
culiar province of,hat journal. Its "best support
has been rendered in this instance as in another
by utilization and abuse by these means it has
d,ne Gen Jones incalculabe service. Is there
not manifest destiny in this' An event contra
~ to the one intended is brought about this
used to be attributed to over ruling Providence
but " manifest destiny is now the phrase. The
manifest destiny" of the Telegraph, not
withstanding its professed neutrality, appears to
to be K, ep up continual p ,litical agitation IL
editor may by this means become shin ing ligh
in Congress. He seems to have an abid ng faitl
that this is his " manifest destiny" and he fol-
lows up the indication with a perinacity mos
commendable. We have not the least object
tons to tins fulfllment of this destiny, but wou''
rather see it br, ught about by means littl
more direct and honest
