The CONFEDERATE SENATOR ELEcr.-We
announced briefly in our last the election
Of the Hon. VIM. "A, Graham, of Orange.
to the Confederate Senate, to fill the va
cancy which will occur after the 18th of
February. 1854. 1t will be seen by the
proceedings that Gov. Graham's vote was
a most aatteriug one.
\ William A. Graham entered public life
about thirty years ago, as member Of the
House of Commons from the town Of Hills
borough. He has since occupied seat 10
both branches Of the General Assembly.
and wa. at one time Speakers of the House
Of Commons. He has been a Senator Of
the United States. Governor of this state
for four years, member Of Mr.. Flllmore's
Cabinet. a candidate for the Vice Presi-
dency, a Member Of the State Convention
Of 1861, and he is now member Of the
State Senate. He is still, however, in the
maturity Of manhood.
The election Of 20 one to the Confeder-
ate Senate would have gratified the people
OF this State more than that of Gov. Gra-
ham. He is, in. all respects, one of the
first statesmen ii the country and though
warmly devoted to the Southern cause, he
is at the same time eminently conservative
Al 10 his views. His information, his skill as
a debater, and his integrity Of character,
will at once place him 10 aleading position
10 the body to which he has been chosen.
The election Of such men as William A,
Graham and Herscbell v. Johnson to the
Confederate Senate, is an omen of better
times. Standard
