The elevation Of Nr. Buckaew to tins

For Six seven years he wa, in the State

SAID to entertain extreme Democratic sen.

trust is not the case. We did not support
Buckalew's election-we should have re.
joiced over the return of Mr.. Wilmot or
Mr.. Cameron, but this does not prevent US
from hoping that Mr.. Buckalow. in his
new and exalted position, will rise above

will ondear him to the true and loyal friends

of the various sections of our Union on the
frmost basis. IL has made us know the
value of the Union itself, not only in our
internal but in our foreign relations. 1t
has given us u wisdom aud knowledge of
each other which had we possessed earlier
would have averted our present calamities. :.
If the interests of different sections of
our country arc conflicting in some respects
they are so balanced and adjusted By ma
turo that there is an irreprossible tendency
to intercourse, harmony, and union. This
tendency must, in the end overcome mutual
misapprohension. We have also learned
the great mutual strength of the North and
of the South, and amid all bitterness of
feeling ongcndered by the war each sec-
ton has boen taught to respect the power,
resources, and courage Of the other.
We must accept the condition Of affairs
as they stand. At this moment the for
tunes Of our country are influenced by the
results of battles. Our armies in the field
must be supported. all constitutional de-
mands of our general government must be
promptly responded to.
But war alone will not save the Union
The rule of action which is used to put
down an ordinary insurrecton is not ap.
plicable to a wide spread armed resistance
of great communities. 1t is weakness and
folly to shut our eyes TO this truth.
Under no circumstances can the division
of the Union be conceded. We will put
forth every excrtion of power, we will use
every policy of Cancellation; we will hold
out every inducement to the people Of the
South to return to their allegiance, consis
tent with honor we will guarantee them
every right, every consideration dem anded
by the Constitution, and by that fraterna
regard which must prevail in a common
country but we can never voluntarily
consent to the breaking up of the Union of
these states, or the destruction of the Con-
stitution.
Humbly acknowledging our dependence
upon Almighty God, and repenting our
pride, iugratitude, and disobediencc, let US
pray that our minds may be inspired with
the wisdom, the magnanimity, the faith +,
and charity, which will enable US to save
our country.

1t is to the credit of the principal par
ties concerned that mono Of the disropuablo
or revolutionary proceedings fomentod by
irresponsible persons, feared by some
and hoped by others, were rcsortod to by
either side. There was full conyortion
of both Houses, and every vote in both
bodies was cast.
The contesting candidates were General
Cameron and the Hon. Charles r. Bucka.
lew, the former receiving sixty-fvo votes
and the latter sixty.scvon; so tho choice
of the Legislature fell upon Mr. Buckalew,
and he is the United States Senator elect
to succeed Judge Wilmot, from and after
the third day of March ensuing. Mr..
Bnckalow, although widely known through.
out the State as leading man in his party
is still young man, being about forty
three forty one years of age. lie is a
resident of Bloomsburg, in Columbia coun.
ty, and member of the bar. Prior to
1857 he had served seven years in the
State Senate, and was in his third term
when he resigned to accept the appoint
ment of Minister Resident to the Republic
OF Ecuador, which place he held until re
cal'ad by President Lincoln. The new
Senator is man Of first rate intellectual
ability and of strict integrity. lie was
once happily described by a Spectator
whom he had disappointed, in these words:
81 can do nothing with Buckalew; he's
just like one Of our mountain streams,
clear and cold and pure"
While it would have been gratifying TO
the friends of the National Administration
to have returned from this State a Senator
more in accordance with their views, it is
matter for congratulation that the "fierce
democracio" have made choice of as good
a man, personally, as Charles r. Bucka-
lew.
Our election of Senator is the fifth that
has been held in the present month, the
Senator's elect being Zachary Chandler,

SATURDAY MORNING, JANUARY II, 1863
UNITED STATES SENATOR.
The Electi0R-itS IaCidentS.

The first week Of the session of the pres
ont Legislature, was one Of great excite
ment and anxiety-not only to the gentle
men who were contesting the scat of senator,
but to the State of Pennsylvania, and to
her stern and unyielding Democracy
Having honestly and fairly achieved vic.
tory, they were extremely dcsirous, and
rightfully SO, of securing, against bribery,
corruption or treachery, its benefits. So
much had been said in the Abolition news.

about his ability to secure the necessary
number Of votes to elect him over Demo.
crat, in convention which contained
majority Of Democr ats, that the people
we're justly alarmed and indignant; and
any unusual display must be attributed TO
the bravado Of those papers.
During the week, all sorts of rumors
were afoat, and the intrigues of Cameron's
lacqucys could be readily traced. On
Monday the 10Th, it,came to be reduced to
certainty that all their schemes had failed.
Neither money nor Office, nor both COM
binod, could for a moment, stagger tho f.
deity of any one of the sixty-sevcn DEM
ocrats in the Legislature. And when the
abolitionists went into caucus on Monday
evening to make nomination, the feeling
Of defeat made them bitter even among
Themselves, and they adjourned without
selecting candidate. The more radical
proposed to defeat the will of the people
by refusing to 60 into convention, but
more moderate counsels finally prevailed
aud on Tuesday morning they reassam-
bled, and nominated as their caucus can.
didate, Simon Cameron.
On Monday Evening the Hall of the
House was filled with eager and anxious
faces. The meeting of the Democratic
caucus was the cause. At the appointed
hour Mr., Speaker Cessna, raped the desk
with the gavel, and announced the assem-
bling ofthe caucus. The spectators remain
ed in the hall, awaiting the result. An hour
and a half passed, and no word came of
progress. Then messenger came hur-
riedly in, and announced the result of the
first ballet BUCKALEW was in the lead
"a second followed, he still lead and by
an increased vote, and in a few minutes
word came, BUcKALIw, ,j6/Ly. 1t was
enough, and with cheerful faces, forget,
ting personal preferences, the crowd Justify
cheered the result.
The scene at tho hotel when we got
down surpasses all description. 1t was al
most impossible 10 get near Mr.. BUcKA-
LEWIS rooms. Hundreds called with COM
pliments aud congratulations. In another
portion Of the house refreshments were
provided and one after another the crowd
called upon the unsuccessful candidates and
prominent Democrats, for toasts and
speeches Such spontaneous rejoicing we
never before witnessed. About mid night
we quilted the scene, but the "wee sma'
hours ayont the twal, passed, and ever

COMPARATIVE FroHrrse QUALITIES O,

EASTERN AND WESTERN TRooPs A
gentleman connected with the Christian
Commission says that at Chattanooga, af-
ter the battle in that vicinity, there was
a good deal of interest felt in our army as
to the opinion of Longstreet's men Of
the comparative fighting qualities of the
Eastern and Western troops. The intel
ligent prisoners belonging to Longstreet' 9
division who were taken were interroga-
ted on this point. Their testimony was
that the soldiers of the Army of the Poto-
mac were as brave as those Of the Army
OF the Cumberland, but they said the fire
of Rosecrans' men was more deadly than
that Of the Eastern soldlers-they were
in the aggregate much better marksmen,
and they rallied more rapidly when they
had been broken. The rebs were some

sumo to claim tie affair at Chickamauga
