SHASTA COURIER.
The United States Senatorship.

The Democrats having won the political
tight and elected majority of the members
of the Legislature, will have the sa tistactlon
of electing one of their party to the United
States Senate. Who shall it be? That Is
the great question which is already agta-
ting them. Shall it be somebody who Is
popular with the Union men and Union
papers who helped them in the late contest,
or shall it be some Constitutional Democrat
who stood up for the rebellion and the
Democracy in their dismal days? Is expe
diencv or principle to rule? The managers
are between two fires they know not which
way to turn. The Examiner demands the
election of somebody that believes IN States
rights and all that. The editor says
= We hope. therefore. that the Democratic
members of the Legislature will weigh well
the responsibility of the work before them
We hope that they will make no rash prom
ises. and that they will meet at the Capitol
unpledged 70 any man, and after full and
free conference and interchange of opinion,
select the best man for the position. We
hone that thew will entertain the claims of no
one whose past record will not give guaran-
tee that. come what may, he will prove true
to the Constitution and true to the Democratic
party"
There are some records which do not give
sufficient guarantees then Even the records
of men sufficiently prominent to be elected
to the Senate Who are they? What are
their records? Did. they turn their backs on
Mcconnell? Did they stand by the Ameri-
can flag? Did they refuse to be called Dem
ocrats when Democracy meant svmr rathy
with secession? Did they speak at Union
meetings? Did they subscribe to the SAM
tarv Fund Did they rejoice at Union vic
tories Did they express a dislike for sla,
the black has as many inalienable political
rights as the white? How long must the
Democratic record extend into the past to be
satisfactory?
1t is we'll known that the name of Mr..
Haight has been mentioned in connection
with the Senatorship. Does the Examiner
think his record unsound Is it afraid TO
trust him? Is there any other prominent
candidate who has had briefer connection
with the party, who has done less for it, who
in 1861, the turning point i'll the history of
the country, was more bitterly opposed to
it? None so far as we know. Other names
might be mentioned of Democrats who have
been named as candidates. and who were
Union men in 1861 and 1862 but they were
Democrats before the war. and worked for
Mcclellan but whether their records are
satisfactory cannot say. Certain it is
that they are not of the class known among
the secesSionsts as - Constitutional Demo
Gratis "-1Ud.

TAXING A DIsLIKE.-An ill-natured fellow
quarreled with his sweetheart on the day
they were to be married. After the cere
monv had begun he was asked
" Do you take this woman to be your wed
ded wife" etc.
lie replied, "No!"
Whats your reason :" asked the minis
ter.
i've taken a dislike to her, and that )
enough" was the surly reply.
The parties retred-the bride in tears
and, after much persuasion. the groom was
induced to have the marriage proceed. 1t
was now the lady's turn, and when the min.
lister asked the all important question
"Nol" said she, resolutely, I've taken
q dislike to him."
The groom, admiring her spunk, made the
matter up with her as soon as possible, and u
third time they presented themselves before
the minister, who begun the ceremony, by
asking the usual questions, which were sat.
isfactorily answered this time. But to the
astonishment of the party his reverence con-
,inuen:
"Well. I'm glad to hear that you are will
ing to take each other for husband and wife,
for it is a good thing to be of forsiving tenn
pers. You can now go and get married
where you will-I'll not tie the knot, for I've
taken q dislike to both of you -
