Who will that man be? 1t is generally

remove the objectionable most forcble,

is no one whom we could mention better
qualified to represent the Interests Of this
great nation at the Court of the Mother

choice Of Mr.. Mason's successor in the u.
S. Senate, from Virginia. Upon this
point, we have heretofore defined our
views. JOHN Letcher is our choice fol

The appointment from The Legislature Of

Of any member OF the Democratic party
in Western Virginia. He presents re-
cord of sincere, honest efficient devotion
TO Democratic principles, equal to any
mans in the State of Virginia He has
never faltered or proved untrue in the
discharge Of his duties as member OF the
party. He has never halted or luailed in
meeting the enemies Of the party and the
country in the Halls Of our national Leg

like true Roman. knowing nothing but
the interests OF the Union aud the welfar,

Other men may be brought into compe

could elect no better man. He is the mar
for the occasion; and in the discharge o
the delicate and important trust, we know
the members of that body cannot overlool

we will trust confidently in the justice o

We publish short paragraph in anoih-
tr portion of to,day's paper Aelnllng some
news from Kunsas Territory, which leads
us TO believe that most serious difficulty
is likely TO grow out of the present dis,ur-
bance there. The neA, Congress will be
composed of majority of freesoilers.--
There will be contest between free
so,ler and pro.slavery man for the seat
OF the delegate for Kansas the former H.
legally elected-the latter legally. 1t re-
mains to be seen whether aboi,ionism and
ianaiicism will 60 SO far as to override
law, order and the peace of the country,
by giving TO Reeder the seat in Congress,
which ofright belongs to Whitfield. The
Legislature OF Kansas IS legally organ
lied body they appointed day Cor the cleo
tion-that day come-the election took
plaee-and Whitfield was elected BY GOO
majority-tlie frcesoilers refusing TO vote
repudiatiag the Legislature and declaring
its acts iIega! and il an illegal body. They
met III mass meeting and appointed d
day for election. On that day Reeder re.
celyed all the votes cast-near 3.O0O.-
They claim his election, and will contest
the seat before the next Congress. Should
that body, in the face of all that is just and
right. by preponderance OF abolitiohism
give 10 Reeder the seat in their Hall, as
he delegate from Kansas, the time will
have come for every Southern member to
quit his place, and return to his constitu-
ehts, and tor them TO unite as one man in
resisting the aggression-the time Will
have come for action, " hich will speak
louder than words. We trust, however
that reason aud Justice will triumph, tina,
some respect will be had to law and the
constitution, and that Whitfield will again
be permitted to take his seat
