Nsw England Endorsement.

We copy below a handsome indOrse-
ment of Senator Ingalls,, from the
Boston Traveller, of October LIST.
Kansas never had Senator who was
so unanimously and cordially Endorsed
by the Republican press of the whole
country as Senator ingalls,. Though
still in his first term he has earned a
national reputation and is recognized
BY the press and the public, of all par
ties and in all sections OF the country
as one of the foremost men in the Sen
ate. lie is a man that the Republican
party, especially at this time, cannot
afford to lose, aud his defeat would be
regarded by the Republicans every
where as public calamity. In any
other State than Kansas his reelec-
ton would be assured by common
consent, and the man who would Op-
pose him would be regarded as oppos-
ing the best Interests of the State.
and this, in fact, is the feeling of the
masses Of Kansas aud the only oppo-
sitiou to him comes from men who
are @sore headed" because he has fail
ed to secure offices tor them; from
those whom he has caused to be re-
moved from office for incompetency
or unwOrthiuess, and from those who
are aspirants for the place. These
men, who are actuatcd wholly by
selfish motives, and W ho have no more
regard for the public interest ethan
for sacred TRUTH" would sac rificc the
interests of the State, of the Repubii-
can party. and OF the whole country,if
necessary, in order to further their
own selfish ends. They are working
with might and main to accomplish
the defeat of Mr.. Ingalls,. By stirring
up local quarrels, and binding the
people to the real question at issue,
they are endcayoring to get their tools
nominated by the Republicans as can
didates for the Legislature. And
such tricks as this the people must.
watch.
Kansas cannot afford to bring upon
herself the odium of setting aside a
man of Mr.. Ingalls, ability and repu-
tation in order to crafty the malice
or ambition OF sore-heads and office
seekers.
The editorial in the Trapeller TO
which we have referred above is EN-
titled 1.-The Kansas Scnatorship," and
is as follows:
"Political change in the condition
OF the corntry is visible in the pros
pective complexion of the Senate of
the United States. 1t has for years
been epnblican; the next Senate will
be Democratic. Ii is of the highest
importance to the Republicans not
only to retain as many Republicans as
possible, but to place in position men
of experience, ability and influence.
