THE APPROACHING SENATORIAL
.SNnArRAT

OONIhSA
From the Virginia Union oflast EVENING"
After the assembling of the Legisla-
ture, on the seventh day of January, it
will become the duty of that body to
elect a United States Senator, whose
term of Office shall continue for six
years. In selecting a mar for that po-
sition-the second highest in the suf-
frage of the people Of this mighty Re-
public-it is well that more than pass
ing thought should be given, first, to
his loyalty; second, to his intellectual
qualifications; and, finally, to his gene
raj acquaintance with the necessities of
the people whom he may represent. AT
this time, more than any other, it be-
comes the duty Of our Legislature to
make n judicious selection.
For five years agone the country has
been struggling against the most wicked
and extensive rebellion that has cver
threatened the life of republican %institu-
tons. For that space of time the wise
counsels Of men, whose political belief
was born and matured under the organ
~ization Of the Republican party, have
led the institutions Of civil liberty faith
fully through all troubles. For this
faith and answering rectitude, the
land is yet indebted; but, in its magniti-
cent generosity, will surely repay. AZ
ter the terrible struggle was ended, by
the valor Of our army and navy, and
white-winged peace had, lowering with
gentle pinions, smiled upon our COM
mon heritage, then came a terrible blow
| to the nation, that caused the public
heart to cease its %throbbing, and draped
| the land in mourning, for so great and
good u man. Those who know how
| faithfully the noble dead had, while liv-
ing, watched the national honor;
and knew, as well, the political and
moral character of him who was to bear
the burden to be so tenderly freighted,
trembled with apprehension for the in
tegrity and loyalty Of the accidental
official. Well had they reason; for ere
the grave of the martyred Lincoln was
green with verdure, commenced n series
of attacks that aimed at the hearts
blood of the Republic-the more dam
gerous, because emanating from the
wicked brain of the highest power in
the land-and that would have succeed
ed in undoing all the great work that
had been accomplished, had there not
been a power behind the throne-Con-
gress-which remained steadfast to the
| Republic, and whose noble record has
been so fully sustained at the ballot-box
of every Northern State. SO far, all is
we'll; but in the future comes II mighty
work of reconstruction, and it behooves
the country to look well to the hands
| intruSted with that task, wherein lies so
much that is vital to our nationality.
II behooves us to elect n man whose
past political record bears no stain, and
whose loyalty to the nation has never
been questioned; a man of enlarged
views, solid judgment, and a thorough
knowledge Of national legislation; and
| such a man is the coming Legislature
| Of Nevada ~bound-to their loyal constit-
ueuts-to return to Congress to guard
our now overloaded future. Such a

this, we will use all fair means to secure
his election, as the greatest good that
can accrue to Nevada. Of his political
record, none q qoestion the loyalty;
Of his service to the State, none a
| doubt; and we ask his return as an addi-
tional guarantee that not only Nevada,
but the nations interests will thus be
zealously guarded.
Senator Nye will remain here until
after the election, and the following dis
patch, which we have been permitted to
copy, shows the intense interest which
the loyal Radicals in Congress have in
his success
WASHINGTON, D. G. Dec. 5, 1866.
To Hon. James ". Nye:
If necessary to secure your re-elec-
ton, remain in Nevada. The country
can temporarily dispense with your SER
vices in the Senate better than endanger
your election. [Signed,

BENNETT ON GREELEY AND BRYANT
The New York Herald of the 9th ult.,
The poet Bryant has found the weak
spot in the philosopher Greeley as q
candidate for the United States Senate.
IT is Greeley's kink of a protective tariff,
the crotchet Of free trade being the weak
spot in Bryant. Let Greeley have his
way and he would probably try his plan
for the encouragement of American in
dustry to the extent of an absolute pro-
hibition of all foreign manufactured
goods; give Bryant his way and he
would doubtless abolish oil our custom
houses, and put our home manufactures
under the hammer, by absolutely free
