standing Is likely to fall victim to this unrea-
sonable attempt to make Senator Of him-of
course we do mt mean Mr.. George, but the other
proposed candidate-this plot strikes US as being
a very bad one. In the first place, it is quite
certain to fall which, in cases Of this sort,
ia a serious objection, since nobody likes to
burn his fingers for nothing. In the next place,
the honor Of New-Hampshire, the cause Of
Northern Rights, the sentiment of the people Of
the Granite State. imperously demand that
New Hampshire should have two Senators as
to neither of whom should there be the least
doubt as to how he got into the Senate, or what
course he will pursue there. There has been
enough in times past, in New-Hampshire, of Sc
lecting Senators to suit and to represent the
South. The men sent now ought to be New
Hampshire men, and New-H ampshire men above
suspicion. Mr.. George, we know. since he
joined the Know N othing party, has made some
pretenses to be Northern msn but his posi-.
ton still remains such that we were fully justi
fed in speaking OF him, as we did the other day,
as the Senatorial candidate Of the Huukers-
meaning, Of course, the Hunkers in the ranks Of
the Know-Nothing party; the Hunkers of the
old brand having in these times pretty much
disappeared from the political market.
But the greatest objection we have 70 this plot,
considering its certain failure, is the damage it
is likely to do to Mr.. Bell, who is the candidate
proposed to be brought forward in partnership
with Mr.. George We do not like to see a re-
spectacle man like Mr.. Bell used and sacrificed
in that way. 1t would be bad enough TO be
elected Senator along with Mr.. Paul r. George.
Men are judged from the company in which
they are found, and Mr.. Bell, if judged by that
rule, would certainly not enter the Senate in an
advantageous manner. But that would not be
the worst Of it. Mr.. Bell, as representa-
tive Of Northern Rights and interests-and we
do rot imagine that in any other character ne
wishes to 90 into the Senate-would be COM
pletely netraized by such colleague; and the
best, under such circumstances, that could be
hoped of New-lIampshire in the Senate would
be that she should remain on the fence, one OF
her Senators employed in looking after the 9TH
er, and the other employed in looking after him.
self and good opportunity to sell those honest
men of Northern feelings who had been induced
to vote for him.
Such would be Mr. Bells position even sup
posing him elected. To be elected in company
with Mr.. George would be quite bad enough,
but to be beaten in company with him, and
beaten out of sight too, is disgrace to which
none but his enemies ought to be willing to ex-
pose him.
