oTR NEXT SENATOR

We transfer from the Parkersburg News the fol
lowing extracts from an editorial article with refer
ence to the silence Of Senator Hunter:
Since the last Congress, the appearance of national
nol,ics has undergone a change. The advent of NJ r.
Buchanan to the Presidential chair, was followed by
a more decided course OF conduct as regards hansas
affairs, which happily TO great extent quelled the
Disturbances in that territory and the excitement 10
reference thereto in the various States. The North
erp spita,ors were left without any excuse for con.
tinuing their unholy strife, and ali parties seemed
about 10 become resigned to the action OF tns true
Democratic doctriue of allowing The people TO settle
their own affairs for themselves But at this parcu.
lar iunc,ura, when the whole matter appeared to he
settled to the surprise Of many, there appeared par
~ in the South claiming to be- Democratic, opposing
the President and Gov. Walker, on the avowed
ground that they were untrue to the South, and were
virtnay irving over Kansas TO the North. Failing
10 manufacture public opinion at their bidding, and
in danger of soon being without vestge OF party
10 follow them the most of them have quietly receied
from their position, the true policy o ths ADMIN
istration and its appointee developed itset Leaving
only the most ultra disunion faction still standing
out. :.
II ia generally understood. by implication more
than bv direct proof that Mr. Hunter WAS of this op
posing faction. His personal political followers, and
tbe various presses known 10 be IN his confidence
were certainly part of the Detection and, though
he has been repeatedly charged rs belonging to it,
and even claimed Indirectly as such by these support
srs he has never yet seen 6t in any way to deny it
In fsct, his persevering eence, when be could moi
be ignorant of the position assigned him, amounts al
most to an admission Of the same.
In consideration of these circumstances, Mr.. Hun.
ter has been firmly but respectfully called upon for
statement of his position. This has not We believe
been done through any i'll will rfeeling ofoppo'ition
70 him, but as right belonging to the constituency
and compliance with which is certainly due from
him as candidate before the Democracy OF Virginia
E. a. olacton. It has been done by these who are
bs admirers and friends, but whoyet cherish princ
nes as of more importance than men.
In this request we believe the mass of the Demo
cracy of this section of Virginia oln-not as his
mies' hut as his friends who would gladly aid in
tnupg him in the position be has we'll filled, pro
vided he is found yet faithful and true. 1t is meet
shonld be met by like spirt of compliance on the
naps p of our Senator in order tha. none may be de
ceived into the support of one who possibly differs
noss the reelection of truly National Democrat, be-
sssnss of his reluctance to define his position.
