The question who Il TO be the next United
States Senator from New York II dividing pub
| lie attention with the meteoric shower and the
discovery OF the mastodon. The people will
watch the action Of the State Legislature with
~ much interest a. they will bestow upon the
heavens tonight and tomorrow. They will
expect their representatives In their choice Of
Senator to correctly reflect the popular ver-
Harris, whose term is about TO expire, Ia q can
ddate for reelection, but his success Ii out Of
the question. He has avowed himself fol-
lower of the Jacobin faction, In favor Of ignor-
ing the constitutional amendment 90 basis
for admitting the unrepresented States to Con-
the President There can be but one interpre-
tation of the meaning Of the late election-the
acceptance by the people Of the constitutional
amendment as final settlement of the ques-
ton of Southern restoration. The Legislature
cannot disregard the will Of the people by
electing United States Senator who Is an
avowed opponent Of that policy and who
would reopen the question and bring new
trouble and agitation upon the country.
The HERALD has made Horace Greeley promi-
nent as a candidate for the Senatorship; but
it has been upon. the presumption that be is
ditional supporter of the constitutional amend
ment as final basis for the readmisson Of all
loyal representatives to Congress Some fear
is expressed that he may run of after some
imprachcable notions about "manhood suf-
frage," or universal suffrage and universal
brain. He must come out plainly and place
himself squarely upon the constitutional amend
ment, or we shall have to let him 60. He may
allow the long haired champions Of negroes
rights and women's rights and free love and
bran bread to fill the columns of his paper with
their notions and IDEAS for that is of very little
consequence; but Greeley, the Senator, must
show his hand and put himself on record Is q
fair, square constitutional amendment man, or
tho HERALD must give him up as bad job.
There are other distractions in Greeley
path, but they are not serious and can be 70
moved without much difficulty. One oontem-
porary states that Greeley cannot be taken up
because he 10 from the same section Of the
State with Senator Morgan. II this is really an
objection there Il an easy mode Of getting rid
ofait Senator Morgan Il very rich man and
has plenty of business to attend to at home
without going to Washington, where be is Of no
earthly use 70 any person. We have no doubt
he will chesrfully resign his once In order to
disembarrass Greeley's prospects. Az . Sena-
tor he is ssdead letter" He never speaks in
the Senate and never makes up bis mind ON q
disputed question until he Hght il ever. His
position on the constitutional amendment was
uncertain until its success was assured. He
can afford TO resign his ofRce, for be IL . rich
man; and his constituents can afford to accept
his resignation, for he IL poor representative.
We invite him to get out Of Greeley's way and
We advise Greeley to lay aside oil bis imprsc-
ticable notions, with his old white coat, and 10
como out squarely for the constitutional amend
ment II he will make up his mind TO follow
our counsel there 10 no reason why Greeley
should not be our next United States Senator.
We have dropped the superduous prefix Of
"Mr." and spoken Of Greeley. Is aGresley,"
because no person thinks Of talking about
mr." Montesquieu, or "Mr." Socrates, or "Mr."
Plato, and It is equally out Of place to talk
about "Mr." Greeley, who in some respects
may be said to resemble Socrates, for be has
had his life written, like Socrates, and Parton
is his Plato. We offer our apologies to Plato
for the comparison.
