The United States Senator.
Mr.. EDIroR l notice that many of
the leading republican papers are agita-
ting the question of who shall be our next
u. ;. Senator; to succeed the Hon Brig
adler General George Wallace Jones
The Adeertt~r having stood true to the
faith, and fought hard in the struggle
for supremacy in Iowa, should now speak
as well as any other journal on the ques-
ton which now is presented to the party
and particularly so if location should
have any influence III the matter The
Dubule Daily Times spoke first on the
subject, claimirg the republican Senator
tor Dubuque county. Next followed the
Iowa City RepuLiicaa, claiming it for the
centre. Since then many of our Rcpub
llcan journals have spoken on the sub
jet, among whom is the Dubuque Tri-
b"ne, which places the name Of H. f. Biz
sell at the ulast head as the proper name,
and bases its stringent claims upon tie
fact that Mr. Biss,l is a resident of that
''GibTAlter Of Democracy Dubuque
/, claims for Mr. Bissell many sterling
qualities which may be all true; but who
is Mr. +. +, Bissel, and what has he ever
done to merit this honor Who outside
Of Dubuque can answer, We have good
and true men in our ranks who have la
bored long and faithfully for our princi-
plcs, whose time and purses have ever
been at tn service Of the party; yo,
among all our leading and laboring men
W never have heard the name Of +. E.
Bls@ell mentioned but once. aud then it
was when Dubuque proposed it as can
dldate for State office in State conycn-
ton. He might then be called an "elcy
! cn.h hour man; as his efforts in behalf
Of our principles and party have never
made him conspicuous, nor eutitlc hun to
our gratitude
Iowa is just redeemed from the grasp
Of the slave power, from the sham demo
crscy; aud it will not appear well for US
to throw aside our faithful, laboring
friends, who have wrought hard and long
to accomplish this result, for some new
man whom nobody knows--some great
man made for the occasion Let Us be
! just and reward those who deserve It
And first among such, permit me to men
ton the name Of the Hon JAMES THOR
lSGFoS, who, If long and faithful ser
vice, if hard work vigilance and contin-
I'D exertIon in behalf of our party be ta-
ken into account, is certainly entitled to
| the honor. Having been elected to con-
-ress in the I'd district, when all d ffcul-
ties were to overcome and heavy demo
cratic majority against him, he served
his State and principles faithfully, and
both friend and foe do him the justice to
81 Ill t at he accom- phi I'd more for the
State than any other Aan Iowa has ever
sent to Washington. Yet the NORTH
n,erposed and defeated his denomination
and the NORTH now has the represen-
tatlon IN his stead, thus reaping the ben
eats Of bis labors and exertions in behalf
o our principles and party, and doing a
great injustice 10 q faithful servant
l arlington is true and tried man, aud
ais industry and perseverance, when ia
ollce viii accomplish more for tAe State
and for the party than any other mau, in
oar humble opinion, that Iowa can Sc
icet.
In reply to the Dubuque Times, the
Davenport Gazette makes the following
true remarks:

'oh, yet /. We nave man qualified tor
