Edltor OF the American OTgdn.
We are in aboutas confused q condition here as to
the election Of an o. s. SENATOR to take the place
Of Mr.. Cooper, az yon can well imagine. The idea
sof electing Mr.. Cameron is given up by sensible
men Of all parties, as beyond the range of proba-
bilities, and the great question to be decided is,
,chat isto be done? A satisfactory answer can
easily be given. Let the american party in our
Legislature take up ney man, whose principles
have been tested in the crucible Of erperince and
who has come out as gold, seven times tried. We
have such man; one who would be an ornament
to the State, and the noblest Of standard bearers
for the great American party IN the Senate Of the
United States. That man Is Captain Charles Nayor,
Of Pittsburgh. Many years since be represented
one Of the Philadelphia districts in Congress, and
in manner that gave him imperishable renown
with all the friends Of American principles through
out our Union.
As debater and orator. he Is without superior
in Pennsylvania. Possessed of an uncommonly
6ne mind, which is richly stored with all the lore
that can give efficiency or add 1.-THE brilancy of
an accomplished and high-toned statesman, he
would never speak but to command respect, or
seek to make him member, without obtaining
success. If 1t is a desideratum--and who viii
question that it is-that our Senators should tho
roughly understand the true interests Of our State
and have the ability to contend for and sustain
them whore Is the man who has superior oualifica-
tons to Charles NaylorS Nor Is this all There
lives not man within our borders who has more
dsinterestedly studied the whole perplexing prob
lem Of slavery, or Is more thoroughly versed in all
its bearings, than is Captain Naylor Upon this
great issue he occupies strictly national ground,
and would be found thrice armed In any conflict
that might ensue in Congress, whether called upon
to measure swords with the Nullifers Of the South
or the Wild Abolitionists Of the North. In every
aspect, then, In which Il can be viewed, Captain
Naylor is The person upon whom the Legislature
Of our State should confer the responsibility OF
Senator in Congress from Pennsylvania. His great
strength does not lay with the politicians but with
the great body Of the people.
Enthroned in their confidence and affervons
they have an abiding faith in him, which would
make his selection one Of the most popular acts
our Legislature could consummate. While the
national feeling, whose councilfres are lii up In
this great confederacy, would look upon his cleo
ton as harbnger Of good in the future.
Tried in the councils of the nation, tried In va
rous public trusts of local character, tested in
the tented field and in the yildest ragings Of the
battles storm, he has never been found wanting,
but always equal TO whatever emergency the force
Of circumstances placed him In. And having
known him for years, and only known him TO honor,
love, and esteem him, feel that cannot do bet
ter service TO my stethan 70 urge his selection for
Senator in Congress upon every true representa-
tive Of the American party that has a vote in our
Legislature 10 cast. PmLADELPHsA

classical fourishes In bis Phoenix Hall speech. in
this city, the literal translation of which into our
mother tongue is" within and In skin" II was
used by the speaker In gammoningsor Of way TO
intensity his Democracy, which happened 70 be his
theme at the moment, and which he probably sus-
pected would be doubted by some Of his Demo-
cratic hearers, unless he embellished Il with an
auxiliary Latin word or two. We think that he
gave remarkably happy exposition in the four
words which he fshed up from Ainsworth on the
occasion-for Il has been our opinion for the last
dozen years that his Democracy was, in plain Eng
lish what be described II TO be- In Latin akin deep
merely. ---Petersbsrg Intel

VIRGINIA TMBrR LASDs.--A Mr.. Bartlett fro
Massachusetts, owns 5000 acres Of timber and
wood land, IN Virginia, between the York and
James rivers. He has sold single trees for more
than the land cos: him per acre. The timber lands
Of Virginia on tde-water~ill soon become exceed.
ingly valuable TO their propretors.
