STATE SENAroRs.-We regret to learn
that Mr. Branerd is probably defeated by a
few votes IN Franklin County No man in
the State has by his influence and labor
contributed so much to bring the friends Of
freedom together, as Mr. Bralnerd. lie has
given the highest proof Of pure and unset
fish devotion to the cause Of freedom, in
rising above little jealouses and suspicious (;
and assuming that others were as honest as
himself lie has earned the gratitude and
high regard Of the friends of freedom, and
WILL we trust, receive at no distant day, sub
siantial proof OF It. His defeat, we under
stand, was owing to local causes, but what
ever they were, they reflect no credit upon
the people of Franklin Co.-.Siatesman.
Owe are tired of this everlasting CON. .
motion about negrodom the Southern
people are tired Of IT. and they want peace
and quiet, If II can be obtained without the
sacrifice Of their inallenabe rights. Rich
mond Uhig.
II is unfortunate that such sentiments were
not sooner expressed and acted upon by the
leading journalists aud Congressman Of the
South. They could have had peace aud
quiet" long ago If they had desired II. In
deed, they had them pretty effectually until
they chose to violate the compromise by
which they were secured. Now, what they
refused to be satisfied with when il was at
tanned, they cannot secure for the asking -
II is too late. The commoiion" evoked
by the South, when II followed the Douglas
lead, cannot be lain until the compact
violated shall be avenged, by securing
Kansas aud Nebraska 10 Freedom, and the
recognition of the principle that all Tern
tories and all new States shall be Free
The Whis, therefore, is likely to become
pery tired before II secures what 1t SO earn
esily covets -.4ibaay Ere. Jour.
Heavy ioss.-Iion. Zimri Howe, of Castle
ton, went aboard the Steamer Troy lying at
the dock at Troy on Thursday last While
ascending the stairway to the promenade
deck, couple Of young men brushed against
him very roughly, causing him TO lean quite
over the banster. Presently Mr.. Howe dis
covered that his pocket-book, containing
$3.50, had been distracted from a breast
pocket IN his coat. On searching the boat
the rascsls could not be found, having gone
ashore. They have not yet been discovered.
