Next Senator.

Nm. EEIToR-A number of gentlemen have been
spoken of suitable candidates for the State Sen
ate. Without saying anything against the merits
or claims of any one named, but consult the views
or large portion of the Democracy OF both Berke-
ley and Jefferson counties, in naming DIR. G. A
HANILIq in connection with this honor.
This gentleman, for the last twelve years, since
be took up bis residence in Virginia. has zeaTo asly
devoted himself to the interests of the party and
perhaps has done as much as any cIher man in
building it up in Berkeley County. He has been
the great acortng mon Of the party, has asked
any favors oft, and am not that he would
accept the nomination ifprofered him, as be is in
possession of very lucrative practice il lis pro-
frSS:on, butt is due his merits that the offer be
made him. Dr., Hamils prominence as gentleman
anything of his standing and capacity. Let the
party weigh his claims and act accordingly.

FALSE as USUAL!

1t is fixed rule with the abolitiouists,
whenever they. may chance to find the adver-
tisement of some abscouding refugee from la
Dor, to declare to the uniformed portion OF
the South, that they have safely escaped into
Canada by the underground railroad, as a
vexation to the South. Witness the follow
ing:
''MR. WAsH1EaToN's SLAVE JoE.-The
Boston correspondent of the Worcester Spy,
says that John A. WashiDgton's fugitive slave
Joe for whose apprehension reward of $500
was offered, recently passed through that city,
in company with five other fugitives, on their
way to Canada" 80
AS to Mr.. WAsn1NaroN's slave there is not
one particle of truth 10 the above. He was
arrested in this town by Capt, JOHN Avs, for
which a reward of 500 had been offered,
and is now in the Jail Of Alexandria.

V1RG1N1AN IN TEXAS.

Most Of our readers are aware of the fact,
that Mr.. !. NJ. E1cHELBERGER, Of our county,
lately disposed Of his beautiful estate, with
view Of locating in some portion CT Texas.
AS will be seen By an extract we publish be,
low from the "San Antonio Herall," Mr. E.
is now travelling through that State, and is
highly gratiied with the fertility of the soil
and the prospects of the growing State
The "Herald" says:
We met yesterday with very intelligent
gentleman from Virginia, Mr.. Eichelberger,
who is travelling through our country, look
ing at it with an eye TO settlement. In a
conversation with him concerning the relative
advantages Of this courtry. as compared with
the portion OF Virginia in which he reeides,
(he Shenandoah Valley, not far from Har~
pers Ferry,) he gave decided preference 10
Texas. lie tells US that farmers in Virginia,
using their utmost exertions, seldom make
more than five per cent. on their capital,
whilst many fall below that. Wheat is the
production of that article has become ex>
tremely precarious there; the past year the
crop did rot exceed five bushels to the acre,
u,
aud many are looking for homes in newer
countries. Missouri has hitherto been the
cutie: for emigration, but Mr.. E. thinks that
Texas will hereafter come in for fair share
Of those seeking new homes. The only ad-
vantage Missouri possesses over Virginia con-
sists in the cheaper price of lands; the rigors
of climate and the necessity of feeding
through winter are about the same. Here
We have the advantage of cheaper lands, en-
tire exemption from severe weather and the
necessity of feeding, as well as more healthy
country, and climate admitting more va
ried production.
These are the opinions of an intelligent,
practical Virginia farmer, who has investiga-
ted the subject thoroughly, and who has made
up his mind to abide the remainder of his
days in some of the beautiful valleys of Yves
tern Texas. He is fascinated with the nouns
tain region of our country, and as a wool and
wheat producing country and with our never
failing streams for railIs and stock grazing.
Texas has already large number of Virs
ginians within her limits. aud-~e are gratified
at the prospect of a further accession to the
number. 80

This young and rising gentleman, the son
wM. L. CLARK, Esq, has been prominently
nominated for the Legislature, from Frederick
county, as well as suggested for the State
Senate from that District. From our own
personal knowledge, we most heartily endorse
the following tribute to his worth, from the
Leesburg Mirror:
1--WE observe BY recent number of the
Winchester Virginian, that the above named
gentleman has been announced for a seat in
the next Virginia House of Delegates. From
our personal knowledge of his heart and mind,
his high attachments and ample qualifications
we are unacquainted with no man in the
county of Frederick, of his age, SO we'll qau!>
flied for a representative We hope that the
geople of Frederick may elect Mr.. Clark to
this position, as we feel confident it will con-
fer benefit upon them and credit to himself.''

Senator Hammond, : of South Carolina, sen
the following letter to the Boston Anniversary OF
the birthday of webster IT breathes the same ira.
shirt and conservative tone that distinguish
ed his celebrated Speech at Barnwell Court House
last fall. and quickly placed him in a prominent
and esteemed position before the entire countrys
DEAR S1R: am very grateful to you. and to
those whom you represent, for your polite lnyitas
ton to attend your dinner in Boston on the 18th
proximo in honor of Mr.. Websters birthday and
for the kind assurances accompanying it, in which
l have full confidence.
My duties here, however, so entirely engage all
my attention, that must respectfully decline your
invitation.
You say that in the revelation, Massachusetts,
and South Carolina stood shoulder to, shoulder
would be well for the world II they stood 30 now!
And why do they not2 To have brought about
their present one of whom must have erred much
possibly both. Another age will decide between us.
Born and Bred in South Carolina, of which State
my mother is a native nay father is a Massachn-
sets man-college friend Mr.. Webster-and descen-
ded, am proud TO say, from your earliest Puri-
tan immigrants. In the autagonistic position of
these two smSll but noble States have personally
much to regret-as patriot, much more. wish
the breach could be filed up and obliterated. If
we have done you wrong, If we have been the ag-
gressoIs, think that assure you that there is
not man in South Carolina who is conscious of
it-not one who would interfere with any of your
institutioRs-not one who would ihwart in the least
any of your peculiar and legitimate Interests and
could it be shown that we have done any of these
things,not but would desire to make prompt and
ample PREPARATION. 4If the same spirit animates the
people of Massachusetts to the same extent we may
justly hope that-the deluding fasehoeds of politi>
cal aspirants trampled under Goot-our two States
may yet stand shoulder TO shoulder the pillars of
