Fran the Mac cheek Press. Republican psper.
Our New Senator.


In the place Of the Hon. Salmon P. Chase,
the Legislature of Ohio has selected the Hon.
John Sherman 10 represent us In the Senate of
IN. United States FOR the next six years.
We regret this selection and take small CON-
fort in believing that in less than year from
now the regret will be general; and we take 40
comfort id the fact that such regret viii be un-
wailing.
Were il Q mere selection among men we
should care little for the result. Trus, Mr..
Sherman has seen less service than Stanton or
Delano. is less popular than Schenck, and Is in
erior in intellect to any one ofthem. Bot in
this day of small things in the political world,
We were absurd to quarrel over such bone.
The selection has other signifcancs than this.
we have oft-n spoken of the difference In feeling
between Northern and southerp Republicanism.
This Is difference in feeling, and not 10 opin.
ION and may be stated In few words. A Nor
thern Republican IS one from love Of the Ne
gro; Southern Republicans hates the matter.
The first differs very little from Abolitionism,
save in its regard Tor Constitutional guarantees.
The last differs slightly from Democracy, save
in its individual independence.
This difference in feeling has produced d.
vision between the North and the South in Ohio.
A politician on the stumpin Northern Ohio
commences by proving that he is an Abolition
ist. At the South he labors earnestly to prove,
that he Is not. And in both instances be aims
to please his audience. This difference has wi
dened until the antagonism promises TO be Bit
ter as was ever that between Whig and Demo-
crat. The cry at the South has been that they
were being abolitionized; at the North that thev
were falling into the hands of weak. kneed con-
servatlsm.
So far the hot-gospelers have had the adyan-
tsge. Very nearly all the Stats officers have
been filed with their adhersnts. Ofconseauence
We have the antagonism embittered. when
Mr.. Chase was called to the Cabinet we had an
opportunity to heal up In some measure this un-
happy controversy. The South asked very rea-
sonably that they should have the Senator.
For the first time this winter the caucus rep
resented the entire Republican party Of Chic.
The meeting was held and over fifty ballots had.
1t all resulted in the nomination Of Mr.. John
Sherman the candidate OF the hot -gospelers and
the representative Of Northern Republicsnsm.
We have now the two Senators representing
that wing. We have nearly every State Office
b! ed from that class, and wo have for the last
time a united party.
Let the blame fall where it properly belongs.
The hot gospelers were plead with, entreated,
and all to no effect. Messrs Schenck, Staaten.
Delano, Corwin, Horton, Ewing, and all lead
ing men Of the South, were pronounced unsound
not representative men and sneered at and
abused. They forgot, if they ever knew, that
these so-called unsound men represented thous-
ands OF unsound voters, and however obnoxious
after an election, are precious before.
A hot-gospeler has no sense but bull sense.
He puts his head down and bis tail up and moves
on regardless Of consequences. To expect any
thing reasonable from him is to expect impossi-
bilities. Messrs. Schenck, Stanton, Delano.
Horton, Corwin and Ewing have received legal
notice to quit. They probably will accept and
govern themselves hereafter accordingly.
We have briefly given the outside view ofthis
outrage. We have some facts connected with
It's secret history we propose hereafter spreadine
before our readers. In the meanwhile we shall
watch the contest the hot gospelsrs propose car
'ying on for themselves, with considerable in
crest. How they will butt and roar, and make
themselves disagreeable, we may guess. 1t pro-
nises much diversion.
