L. 5. Senator.

Among the more important acts which the
next Legislature will be called upon to de-
eide, will be that of representative Of the
State in the Senate of the United States
Doubtless there are many gentlemen who
would fill that position with great credit to
themselves and honor to the State, and it is
more than probable that several will be urged
with much vehcmence by their friends, as
having strong claims for the place The most
prominent we think will 10 Ex-Gov. Hicks,

but that he sgnally failed 10 meet the whole
OF his responsibilities in that critical period
of our history is also administrative and
then his persistent voting against the admin
istration in the last Congress, utterly units
him to represent the loyalty Of tho present
day.

has, therefore, no claims upon the urc)L-
ditional mon Of the present day-his loyalty
Is Of too low standard for these times, we
want and must have a man to represent us
in the Senate who will stand by and aid the
administration in all its leading measures to
suppress the rebellion.
The question then is, have we man upon
whom we can rely for the faithful perform
anco Of his duty in this rcspcct-one who
will not fail us-wil not behay us after we
have reposcd our confidence. We think we
have. Judge Spence of the Eastern Shore,
from which section Of the State the Senator
is to be elected, must come. Judge Spence
for a number Of years las been with the pro-
gressives of the Statc-his loyalty is Of the
most exalted charactcr-unqualilied and de-
cided, and during the last campaign he rem
Iered signal service to the cause.
With such man, ono whose profound e-
gal cquiremcnts-whoso pure and elevated
craftsmanship and whose loyalty is of the
right stamp, Maryland would be properly
cloqucntly and inllucn:ially represented
We hope therefore that the delegates from
Old Allegany will give him an undivided
vote for the Scnatorshp in Congress.
