The New CoSSEcrICUr UNITED
STATES SENATOR. Hon. VIM. W.
Eaton, the Democratic nominee for
the United States Senate from Con.
necticut, to succeed Mr.. Buckingham
and who is sure to be confirmed by
the Legislature, is a politician Of con-
siderable local reputation. Born in
Tolland County, Conn, he moved.
when young man, to South Carroll
na, and, being Democrat of the
straitest sect, imbibed naturally the
doctrines of the State rights school of
politicians who followed John G. Cal
houn as leader. After few years
residence in South Carolinn, he re.
turned to his native country and be-
gan the practice of law. But he was
always more OF a politician than a law
yer, and the enthusiasm of his nature,
combined with great tenacity of will
and stuhbornness of character, placed
him st once Ill prominent and influ-
ential position in his party. He was
the associate and adviser of the party
leaders, was repeatedly q member of
the State Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives, and at the outbreak of the
war had come to be one of two or
three most prominent Democrats in
the Stale. His opposition to the war
and all war measures, ard the boldness
of his differences upon the stump aud
in political conventions, made him a
central figure of the opposition in his
own State, and indeed in New Eng
land, during the war. Two or three
times attempts were made to depose
him from his self-asumed leadership
by Democrats who held more mode
rate views, but as often as he came
into State convention of his party
and he was almost always delegate
he took the convention out of the
hands of his opponents by the force
of his magnetism and personal pre-
sence, and committed it to the e1.
preston of his own extreme opinions.
