u. s. SENATOR.
For The Register,

For the Register,
Mr. Error: notice in your lea
der oflast week under the caption Of
~. S. Senator that you remarked that
"but two names so far as we have no
ticed are mentioned" for the position
United States Senator. This is, I pro.
sumo true as far as the public prints are
concerned, hut is not true in point Of
fact. for it has been in contemplation by
many members Of this end Of the State
to bring before the Legislature the name
of some worthy man from our end of the
State. Some two or three gentlemen
have been spoken Of for that position, of
whom Judge PolsIey, in my opinion is
the most available, and this availability
felot Predicated alone on hisiundOubt-
loyelty. bulupAr his tue intrinsic
.ftnessifor the position. When we haS
men suehas Judge Pol'ley, why should
we give to the upper end of the State
both U. s. Senators. Now Mr., Editor,
seeing you have committed yourself to
Mr.. Campbell as against Mr.. Wiley,
without knowledge Of the fucl that
Judge POlsley was a candidate, or, rnth-
er that he would be brought before the
Legislature, take it, that as a friend
to the District, you will reconsider the
whole question and take into account
the claims Of this end Of the State and Of
Judge Polsley.

Gen. Dix having been called on to

quetin New York last Saturday night,
took occasion to refer to hia reosai or
der TO follow raiders into Canada, if
need be. He difFared with those ia
authority over him as 10 the propriety
of revoking that order. He said the
right Of "hot pursuit." as it was called,
or as Grotius expressed it dun fcruit
opus, was one OF the oldes, established
principles Of International Obligation.
IthaG been asserted by General Jack
son against The Spdniards in regard 10

for our Secretary Of State to repudiate
that great Democratic authority in re-.

ton was justified by the demands of i'm
mediate expediency, then the order're.
voking should have set that reason, forth,
while it should have broadly reaffirmed
as principle, the right of hot pursuit.
This expression met with the hearty
approval of all who heard it, and GEN
eral Dix was sure the people would
commend the order. He intimated the
Secretary OfWor, had supported him in
issuing it.
