&. 5. Senator.
IL One OF the most important acts of the next
Legislature will be to elect United States Senator
10 serve for six years from the 4h OF March next;
and, although we have but small majority in that
body owing TO the Infamous appoFtionment OF The
State, wch gives opponents the Senate against
popular majority Of thousands; yet it is quite suiti-
ciert secure the services Of true and faithful De-
uocrat.
There are number OF distinguished gentlemen
named in connection with the trust, and the Legis-
ature will nc doubt choose the man they deem most
competent 10 perform the greatest good 10 the
try and the party. We may be allowed to say, how
ever, that a member OF that body, we would
vote for aud advocate the election of joan W..
FORNEY, believing him 10 be the man OF all others
named Tor the present crisis. He not only possesses
ability OF the highest order, but degree OF
and energy with which but few men are gifted. He
is familiar with the politics of Pennsylvania and
OF the Union he is with the alphabet. and his keen
perception would be sure guarantee that the inter
ests OF the people would not safer in his hands.
With such intellec,s as BIGLER and FORNEY in
the Senate, Pennsylvania would again assume her
proper position in thar digni6ed body. Let Re-
presentatives act with wise discrimination ia this
matter, and not be governed by personal or local ia
yoriei>m in the discharge OF this great duty, and
they will reflect lasting credit upon themselves and
their country.
C-The Harrisburg Telegraph, the organ Of Gov.
POLLOCK, in its issue OF last week in speaking Of
John P sandsrson, OF the Philadelphia News alleges
that his conduct during the las campaign mark
ed with FALsEaOOD, TREACHERY, and COR
RUPTiON.'' And this is the identical ''loin p
who wants a black republican elected speaker of the
Senate, one TOO, who ,turned traitor 10 Fillmore on
the of the election; and the same man that is
row expendng all hisl energies in charging Fraud
upon the Democracy aai in writing articles design
ed exclude from the right Of suffrage all who are
unable to read and write! John retorts and charges
the black republican leaders with all manner of ras
calty, says t.'ry
market. Yet these were the rotten elements which
proclaimed 'sCuion for the sake Of the union.'
0g-We observe by tile Chambersburg papers that
Col McClUEe, we'll known editor of the Cham
bersburg Repository and Harrisburg Telegraph, has
commenced the practice Of the law IN that place, in
company with Mr.. McCleJlaad. In all bis soeal re-
lations, Col Mcclure Is considered decidedly Gle
yer man ard gentleman, and, the publisher Of
paper, be certainly exhibited OF the neatest
sheets in The country. Notwithstanding the Col. is
an uncompronising enemy Of the Democracy, MS
bold and manly dennnciation of Know Nothinsism
made him many warm friends in the ranks oi our
party. The fact that the K Ms in Bedford bate him
with perfect hatred, j., think, the highest re-
commendation he could receive from that qnarter.
Ia the practice of his profession, Wish him great
prosperity-and as believe his ssbeter half' Gan
elegant and accomplished ady) rather holds to the
Democracy, should not be surprzr4 II the Col.
would eventually fall back upon that conmn the
sure support Of the country. When he does will
announce the fact in the Gazette.
| 0-The Louisville journal has made the wonder
full discovery that the democratic IN Kentucky,
at the last eeetiou increased 10 unprece-
denteJ degree'' That's so, and that is what ena-
bled US 10 carry taat old Gibralter of Whisgery,
which refused TO be Abolitoutzed, Sectionazed and
Know Nolhingzed, under the lead Of such men as
Fremont AND Fillmore. Democratic votes, howe
yer, increased in some other quartsgs--in Bedford
Borough and county, for instance.
G- Since the election, we hear nothing about the
steu cents day! How is this Our opponents
+ pledged their honor, men, that if MIR. BUcHANAx
elected President the wages OF labor would be
reduced to cents day, and thus deceived many
honest people who believed them. Why don't they
/ reierate the charge now that he is elected2 Be-
cause they know they are 'scaaAd and that his Off
cial acts viii expose the drift saaa shameful false
hood. Here IS the death Of f,aRober Of their HU3l-
HUGs over which they have besn shouting ever since
