THE UNITED STATES SENATOR.
AHIkR.

We are pleased 10 note that many of
the ablest Journals OF the State are i'd
vocatlng Hon. John Hancock for the
United States Senate. John Hancock
Possesses IN an admirable degree the
characteristics Of d statesman. A strong,
wise Judgment; having profound
acquaintance with -law,a an : accom-.
plished and scholarly writer ; a brave,
j., fearless, Democrats o. man digniaed
and selEpoised by a lie or en- ergenoIes
and experiences, he stands second to
no man as the representative of the
power, Intelligence and wisdom of
Texans. lie comes fromthat section OF
the State which it Is conceded, must
furnish our next Senator, that IL . the
sou.hwest,-a district that can furnish,
in Devine and Stockdale'and Ireland
material that any State might well be
proud of. or these names we believe
Hancock to,beythe strongest I'VE be-
lieye him competent to do for Texas
the greatest possible good; we know
him to possess great influence in our
national councils.- and Salreadv to have
acquired national reputation; We
know that the great Journals of The
North, among them notably the Mem
YORK. Tribune, refer to him IN hiyh
terms of praise /; we feel thatit would
be wise for Texans North and South.
East and West, An. this great state, to-
center upon him as the successor of
Morgan Hamilton N the United States

people, we believe that this selection
IL well 'i,ivh assured. We take n far
granted that when Governor Coke nc.
cepted the nomination at the hands OF
the Galveston Convention. that he i'm,

who were to vote for him, that he
