Meeting of the Legislature-TAe Senatorial
Question-lMr SteDens' prospects good.
HARR1sBURG, December 29.-H seems to
be conceded that Quay, of Beaver county,
the avowed Curtin candidate for Senator, is
in danger of being defeated. At an infor-
NAL caucus of the members to-day, compos-
ed of the friends of Stevens, Cameron, and
Grow, twenty seven votes were cast for Col.
Glass, of Allegheny, as the opposing candi-
date to Quay in the Republican caucus. This
decision has not the slightest effect upon the
Senatorial question, and isnot regarded by
Curtin's friends as very adverse to their
cause, for some of Curtin's friends were OPP
posed to Quay's election.
THADDEUs STEVENS. aa,-st
The friends of Stevens are very active and
confident. They claim that their candidate
is the favorite in every Radical county in the
State and would beat all competitors in II
popular vote, and that his election would
harmonic the party and make it victorious
for many years. The Lancaster county Re
pubicans have prepared an address to the
people of Pennsylvania in favor of Mr.. Ste
vens, written with great ability, which has
been signed by a number of their leading
men, 1t will create strong impression
when published.

MEssRs. EDITORS In the Gazette of Thurs
day morning find the following 4 ~
"When Mr.. John w. Forney withdrew
from the Senatorial contest and cast the
weight of his influence into the scale for Mr..
Stevens, large results were anticipated from
the movement, which have not been realized.
This failure of effect does not derogate from
the power Mr. Forney ordinarily exerts by
reason alike of his uncommon abilities and
his magnetic temperament, much less from
the high position occupied by Mr.. Stevens.
| The age and in6rmaties OF the latter gentle
man afford the only reasons why there is no
popular enthusiasm in his behalf"
deem IL DuI just 10 my coiicaSuc, Will
whom Ihaye served eight years in Congress,
to say that / regret deeply that you have
fallen into an error that has been extensively
| circulated by interested parties !.
| So far from being aa5Srm, Mr.. Stevens, Is
| physically better than he has been during
| those eight years, and is now one of the most
active and vigilant members of Congress, as
the daily record of its proceedings shows.
He does more hard work, believe, thar
any other member, and is not only acknowi
edged by the members of the House, but by
the people of the State of Pennsylvania, o.
the Union, and of the foreign nations, as thu
| great American commoner.
Pennsylvania can do herself infinite honol
\ by electing him to the Senate, and | trust 81,
,Nwill. The enthusiasm in his favor is tina,
i which is due to talent, ability, and integ |:
