Senator

A correspondent writing from Madi.
son county, strongly advocates the elec,
ton Of Colonel William h. M'CardIe
Of Warren, to the United States senate
Colonel M'Cardle has never been an as.
piraDt for Office-so much the better
Mississippiin her long agony of misrule
has had ample opportunity to study the
attributes of her prominent sons, and
she yearns to reward those who have
been weighed in the balance and not
found wanting. 1t will require a hard
fight to regain control of the legislature.
but the fight will be made, and, we be-
lieve the victory will be won, and in
that event we do not think that apy
man In the State will have stronger
claims upon the people, urged by the
people, and not under any circumstances
by himself, than Colonel M'Cardle. No
man in Mississippi has stood by the old
State more manfully than the subject of
this article; no man within her bounds
has suffered more for her sake, and no
man that we know of could represent
her varied interests better in the senate.
FOR UNITED STATES sENATOR-COLoNEI,
W. H. M'CARDLE.
MADISON COUNTY, June %.
Editor Aberdeen Examiner:
Unless all the signs in our political 20.
diac fail, Mississippi will this fall elect a
Legislature representative of her brave
people, and one Of the most responsible
OF its duties when it assemblies will be to
elect a United States senator. The
names Of several distinguished gentle
men nave been suggested, showing that
the minds OF cur citizens are already di-
rected to this important question, | beg
leave TO add another name to the already
brllllsDt galaxy associated with this i'm
p0Ttant pOsitiOn-thst of Colonel VIM.
d. M Cardie, Of Vicksburg, the able and
fearless editor Of the Herald. Colonel
M'Cardle requires no introduction to the
people Of this State. He has been ideu-
Tined with its name and fame for nearly
I0rty years, and is now welding a fall
chlon quite as bright, and striking blows
quite as steady, If not more so, than at
any period of his useful and brilliant ca
reeT. Since the era OF reconstruction.
30 man in the south has done more val
lant and devoted service in the cause of |
her people than Colonel M'CardIe. In
the dark days immedist ely after the war |
I was fashionable for the press Of New |
Orleans TO denOunce the Federal satraps |
At Richmond, and UicC versa; but Colo |
lel M'Cardle bearded the lion in his |
len, and stigmatized the despot at |
ais door. His arrest and prosecution for |
properly characterizing acts Of military |
violence and usurpation, are remember.
ID by the reader. Since the first efforts
It rescuing the State from the rule of
Vicious and ignorant strangers and ne.
sroes, he has earnestly and consistently
Urged the people Of Mississippi to reIv
ipon themselves alone, and to unite the
element for its liberation,
declaring that in this alone Law the
sign OF victory" When overruied in
Ouncil he has never failed to weld
his convictions, and give his
arrest efforts in the direction suggested
s the wisest by those WhosejvieWs pre-
allied. In the Dent faScO, and even in
'Oting for Alcorn, he showed a submis.
ion OF spirit to the will of his party
riends that marked the practical states
nan. AS writer he has no superior in
be State, and as q crisp, nervous and
Die advocate on the huStings he has no
Ger that we know OF. fit be true that
deeds should give the CROWN and
hat he should wear the wreath who, by
Ing and tried service, deserves it. we
~ that the office Of United States sena.
DR. should be voted to Colonel M'Cardle.
hat he would worthily wear its honors,
nd most creditsbly discharge its august
utles, is the belief of MADISON.
