The Result.

Il being row sscertGned tina: the Conscrya-
,ivcs and Democrats have triumphel glorious
~ over the Ultra Radical party in the late
election, aud have elected their Governor and
other State officers BY sweeping MAORI ties, and
have secured a majority Of both branchesof the
Legislature, attention is naturally directed 70
,he subject ola Senator Of the United States to
succeed Mr.. Wiley. There was a time when
this gentleman was one Of the great guns Of
tie Wing party, but having voted for all the
ultra despotic measures Of the party in power
Re has no longer place in the affections OF
those who venerate the ancient landmarks Of
The Constitution. Hemust go overheard. The
cd ship has no use for pilots who have run her
on the rocks and sbOa,s.
Il is now conceded by al fsir-minded men
that, as the Western part Of the State has fur
nished the Senators for eight years, and that
we are to be misrepresented by one Of them for
fur years more, the Eastern portion Of the
State is entitled to one at least, and that when
Foreman runs through his term the middle
section can furnish a good man.
We think it only Just that the new
Senator shall be taken from our part of the
State; and jefferson, being the largest tax
paving county, is, we think, entitled to bring
one Of her citizens before the public and pro-
pose him 70 the Legislature as one entirely
competent to fil, and in every way worthy of
that important office. We believe we viii but
re-echo the sentiments Of every conservative Of
THIS section when we name the Hon. WM Ii.
TRAyERs as the man Of all Others who will be
acceptable to the people who are to be repre-
scuted Mr.. Travers was at one time mem
Der Of the Maryland Assembly, aud acquired
distinction as Speaker Of that body he is,
therefore, not without experience in making
laws. Being gentleman in the truest sense
Of the word, Of sound and enlarged ideas upon
the great political questions Of the day, flu
ent and logical orator, and, 50 far as we know,
without any disabilities to be removed in order
