THs SENATOR FROM CoEEEcTIcUT.-Mr.
James Dixon has, at length, been elected
Senator in Congress from the State o fCon.
necticut, in place OF Toucey, who Tor sever
al years has distinguished himself, in a spe.
cisl manner, by his subserviescy TO the tx.
treme pro-slavery party. THIS is an obiec-
ton which is not likely to be brought
against Mr.. Dixon. The Republican mem,
bers nf the Connecticut Legislature, whose
votes fof some time prevented Mr.. DixoG''
election, al length withdrew their opposi.

The Agony Over-Mr. Buchanan Nominated,

~ 0ASaS WV
The nomination or Mr.. Buchanan for the
Presidency by the Democratic Convention
will not surprise those who have watched
carefully the representations OF the last
few weeks. In It's dire necessity, the Dem
ocratic party has been compelled 10 cast a.
side the most fully committed champions OF
ito policy, and, ostracising the Senator who
originated, and the President who approv-
ed, the Nebraska bill, TO present to The
country candidate who has taken but ut.
tie part in the political struggles OF the last
four years. THIS is q concession 10 public
feeling which, under ordinary circumstan
stances, might mislcad the unthinking;-
but coupled ns the nomination is with he
most odious pro-slsvery platform ever
framed, il will take more than Mr.. Bucban-
ans "respectahility"to make II resPectable.
The record Of that gentleman, in spite OF
the skill with which he has endeavored TO
make it clear, Is singularly inconsistent. 800
He, a Northern MN, will now have sn op.
portunity to explain his double treason TO
the Norlh-he will be afforded a chance OF
showing upon what principles he insisted
upon the cx ensicn Of The Compromise line
10 the Pacific, and afterwards az the call Of
the South, abandoned it altogether. A nun
who has played fast and loose in his poll.
tics through = long life, usually ends by
o, erreachlng HIMSELF; and that Mr. Bu'
chanan did most sir gularly overreach him.
self when he wrote his unfortunate letter
to Mr.. Slidell we think no one can possibly
doubt.
We regard this nomination as most lortu'
nate for the Republican party. 1t relieves
us IRON the necessity Of cuntending with {
candidate whose political faults are un
known, and whose principles are dubious
IL shows US, too, the necessity Of uniting II
