TIE Legislature which meets in January
will have to elect United States Senator
to succeed Foreman. This fact is gener-
ally understood among the people, and by
many aspiring gentlemen in particular
trust, therefore, that will surprise no
one. and will not be considered out of or
der when / nominate candidate, or rath-
er second 4 nomination already made, and
advocate briefly the claims Of that candi-
date.
1t certainly took no one, acquainted
with the politics of the State, by surprise
TO see the name al Henry 5. Walker men,
toned in conn, elton with the Senatorship.
His fitness for the position and lis emf
nent services to the party at once suggest
his name as that among all others in the
State entitled 10 this, the highest honor in
the gift Of the Democratic party Of the
State.
He has been, and S, eminently nan
Of the people. During the war, and after,
he battied manfully against the usurpa-
tons and oppression OF military rule
After the war, when the people were op-
pressed and bowed down by the malicious
mandates Of the Radical party in the State,
his voice and pen were the first 10 PC rails
ed an used in behalf of our liberties
From that time until every man in the
State had al the rights of freeman, his
efforts for that object were constant and
untiring, and his voice and pen were most
potent in the work Of our delivo-ance.-
No great enterprise has been inaugura;ed
for the advancement and prosperity Of the
State that has not met hIs approval, ard
had the aid of his cordial and earnest sup
part. The present organization OF the
Democratic party in this State, and its et-
fciency ia winning the great victory over
which We are rejoicing, is largely due to
Mr.. Walkers Efforts and influence. No
candid man questions this.
Do not such men deserve honorable dis
tinction at our hands? in the hour of
our triumph, shall we forget those who so
CALAMITY led Us on to victory? / trust
not Mr.. Walker deserves the honor OF
being chosen our Ser ator, and would be a
credit and honor to the position and to our
State.
