FoR THE COURIER
The Nomination for Senator.

J6. Editor !. L. together with many 9th
ers, was highly pleased with the nomino-
ton Of Col A. Z. CALuoUN, for State
Senator. 1t has drawn forth the almost
entire approval of the State press, as well
as that of many of the voSers of the district,
Asa specimen of the former, please pub
lish the following from the Yorkyille En-
q"irer, highly influential and ably edited
journal:
"CoL a. p. CALnoux.- Kcorcc
Courier has nomination of Col a. p.
Calhoun, as the first Senator from this new
District. Modest and unassuming by ma
turc, Col. G. has never sought political pre-
fcrment, but on the contrary has devoted
his talent and energy to the more congcnial
pursuit of Agriculture. As President OF
the State Agricultural Association, he has
cvinccd commeudablc zeal in,lcvelopiug the
resources of the State and directing attcn-
ton to the more essential elements of pros.
pcrity. He is now in the full maturity oi
intellect, and his election as Senator would
be but Il just tribute to eminent worth, and
though we can lay no claim to the Gift of
prophecy, yet we venture to say that his
next stride would elevate him to tho Coy
crnorshipo of the State"
Under the circumstances, therefore, il is
still hoped that Col. CALnouN will not
have opposition. ANOTHER VorER.
