From the Lexington Express, 9th.
United States Senator.

Who is to be the next Senator in Congress
from Missouri This question is already
being asked in almost every political circle;
and is very frequently asked to us. We
can give no answer 10 the question. We
might express preference for some one Of
the distinguished Wings in the State, but our
preference would only be the preference an
individual, and would not in any degree in
fuence single member of the Legislature
in his choice. Any one who will take the
pains to look over the returns Of the late
election will see that of the three parties in
to which that body is divided, no one is able
to elect Senator or any other officer with
out the aid OF one of the other parties. 1t
may with great safety be predicted that nei-
Their Col. Benton nor General Atehison can
be elected-perhaps neither will be nomina-
ted. The Wings will not vote for either Of
them, and it is utterly impracticable TO think
of uniting The two wings of the Democratic
party upon either Of these old party leaders,
or any other gentleman of either wing Of the
party who has been prominent actor in
the scenes of the last five years.
Not sharing in the confidence Of either
wing ofthe Democracy, we can form no OPT
mon as 10 the man or the men that will be
presented by the Democrats.
By Wings, we have heard mentioned the
names of Edward Bates, James S. Rollin,
and Abel Leonard. They are all gentle.
men of ability. Their names are already
written in the political history ofthe country
and any one of them would reflect honol
upon the State.
When we say that we have heard thu
names of these three gentlemen spoken o
in connection with the office of United States
Senator, we should not omit to say that W.
have also heard it objected to Mr.. Bates
that he is citizen of St. Louis, and tina
it would not be just to give to that great CT
ty both the Senators. To Mr.. Rollins it i
objected by some that he has been too mucl
before the people for u number year
past. These objections we consider very tri
vial-too trivial indeed to be entitled to any
consideration. To Mr.. Leonard, however
none Of these objections can apply. He re
sides in central part of the State, ant
has long confined himself to the privat
walks of life, and is in every respect
gentleman ofhigh qualifications for the of
fee. Without committing ourselves to tn
support of any one of these gentlemen, o
any other, we would simply call the atten
ton of the people to the subject-hopin
that the Wings will cordially unite upo
some one gentleman, and adhere to thei
man, without the formality of caucus nom
ination. On the ground of availability, W
have heard number express their opir
ions in favor of Leonard; and we feel n
hesitancy in saying that we believe that h
) would be entirely satisfactory to the Wing
$ of Upper Missouri. We know him and ar
! willing to trust him.

Treacherous Slaughter of U. s. Troops
at Fort Laramie.

The St. Louis Republican of the 10th
says: Information of an authentic character
has been received at Jefferson Barracks,
from Fort Laramie, announcing the treach-
erous slaughter of detachment of U. S.
troops by the Sioux Indians.
Our information is, that about the middle
of August Sioux Indian killed an OK be-
longing 10 an emigrant near Fort Laramie.
The chief thereupon sent message to 1t.
Fleming, the officer in command of the
Fort, requesting him to send force to him
and he would deliver up the offender. 1t.
Grattan of Co. G. 9th U. s. Infantry, with
Sergt. Favour, one corporal and twenty pri-
Yates, were detailed on this service. They
were accompanied by an interpreter. How
or at what place it is not stated, but the
whole of 1t. Grattan's party were killed
without exception. They must have been
the victims of deliberately contrived plot
on the part of the Indians to waylay and
murder them. In no other way could such
a number of men have all been killed, with.
out at least an equal force of the foe having
fallen in the encounter. The massacre was
committed on the 18th ult.
1t is also stated that when the express
left, Fort Laramie was surrounded by Indi.
ans, and there is reason to fear that il was
destroyed by them. The garrison mum.
bered one commissioned officer and about
fifty men altogether too inadequate force

DEMOCRACY CRUSHED OuT.--Hon. Chas
G. Hazewell, one of the leading Democrats
Of Massachusetts and one of the principal
writer's for the Boston Times, has the cam
dor to admit that the Democratic party in
Massachusetts is virtually defunct. Ex-
cept the office-holders there are very few
so poor as to do it reverence. Writing to
the Boston Courier, he says:
BosroN, August 20, 1854.
Dean SIR:-In your leader Of yesterday
you speak of me as being a member of the
Mass achusetts Democratic State Commit
tee. have not the honor Of belonging tc
that body. have never been notified Of
my election as one ofits members or rcques-
ted to attend any of its meetings. Looking
as do, upon the Massachusetts, Democrat
ic party as "crushed OUT for the time be.
ing, should, had been member Of the
Democratic State Committee of the party
have opv osed the issuing of call for the
meeting of State Convention, being the
first of series of measures calculated t.
have no effect of importance, except to es.
teblish the fact of the party's weakness be-
yond all doubt.
am, very respectfully,
your obedient servant,
CHAS. G. HAZEWELL.
We commend this candid confession t,
the editors of the Boston Post, Washington
Union, and the other Democratic presses o
the country.- Boston Atlas.

ebraska-.-The Elections.

In Illinois, and other States, the Nebras-
ka Question enters largely in the canvass.
Both parties are likely to be split up by the
repeal of the Missouri Compromise. We
always regarded it dangerous question to
agitate, and were for bearing the wrong il
inflicted rather than reopen the slavery ag-
itation. Other counse's prevailed, and it
is now repealed; we are unalterably opposed
to ITS restoration, and shall regard it as a
barren victory where wing candidates are
successful on the issue of restoration
There are some good wings running on this
issue in Illinois--we have rejoiced at their
election in former times, but now that they
are enrolled among the agitators and fac
tionists, our sympathres accompany then
no farther. The country wants repose
and must have it; we are at good stopping
place, and let us demand peace.

We take the liberty Of publishing the
following private letter from firm of true
blue wings:
MILAN, Mo-, Sept. 8, "a.
FRIENp GREEN:--We herein enclose you
one dollar as subscription to the Glasgow
Times. 1t failed to come 10 US the last two
mails. We could not conjecture the cause,
but supposed that our time of subscription
had expired. You will therefore please
send it to us;--its failure to come can well
be compared to the absence of one of So
cial family circle. Whiggery is doing well
in this part of our heretofore misguided
State. 1t is wrong to crow over fallen foe,
but we cannot help joining in the chorus of
three cheers for Lindley, and six for the
Glasgow Times! and but give us a LEON
ARD to represent our interest in the Senate
rial councils of the nation, and all will be
well. The voice of the Wings of Grand
River is Leonard first, Leonard last, and
Leonard all the time.
