Hon. Edwin IL. Webster.

When the Legislature assemblies, one
Of the most important duties that will
devolve upon it, will be the election
of United States Senator to fill the
seat of Hon. Anthony Kennedy whose
term of office expires on the 18th of march
We have heard the names of several
candidates mentioned IN connection with
the place; but among them is no one
whose election would be so acceptable to
the people of Cecil as the gentleman
who at present represents this district in
Congrcss-th Hon. Edwin ii. Webster.
By the bold and unequivocal position he
has assumed and the manly straight
forward course he has pursued since his
election last spring. Mr.. Webster has
won for himself hundreds of friends in
this county, and his election to the
United States Senate would be hailed
with pleasure by the great majority of
sincere Union men in Maryland. Mr..
Webster is live, as we'll as practical
man, and would we are confident, faith
fully represent the wishes and senti-
ments of the people of our State, now
miscrably nlsrepresented by two old
political fossils.
