on amendments. They Petered out finally in

ing as substitute for the whole Bill speech of
some individual of that county. Gen. Crawford
offered to amend bv including Tobacco, and made

the Whole, when Orion, Hull Barney and Others

all had been tried Mr. Hull hoped some friend of

SENATOR FROM MAISE.-The election of the
Hon VIM. Pitt Fessenden, of Portland, Me- as a
member of the o. S. Senate for six years. has al
| ready been announced in our paper. Although
! Mr., Fessenden belongs to party antagonistc TO
the one with which it is pride to cooperate
we are free TO admit his ample qualifications for
the distinguished position assigned him by his
State. As a lawyer, Mr.. F. has no superior with
in the wide circuit of his practice-as politician
he has been the acknowledged leader of his party
for many vears-as member of congress in the
Representatives Hall he was conspicuous as
ready, eloquent, and forcibe debater-he is a ripe
scholar, gentleman of taste and refinement and
high minded and agreeable in social intercourse
L
him democrat and knowing his great personal
regard for the President, (his college frend) and
his independent and searching mind we have hopes
that before his senatorial term expires, his view
of politics will become liberaized and he will
discover the greatness, perpetuity, and prosperity
of the American Union in the success of the meas
ures advocated by the democratic party Il Boston
Post.
The Posts compliment to Mr. Fessenden is
well deserved; but its hopes of his joining
the motley host of Loco Focoism, stands poor
chance of being realzed.-CMil Sent.

/ "You have recently heard voice influential as
any that descends from thrones, proclaim the adj
ministrative prosperity of the great Republic be-

territory and population of the country from
whence it proceeds; the vigor OF the boundless
ness OF its growth; its immense influence: its
prospects of greatness beyond belief and perhaps
that youthful ambition which effects miracles -
