The United States Seuatorship.
A new style of clectioneering for the United
State's Senatorship is that adopted by the Mfg:
SEEIKE 71—1—9 Rep—ulllicnn members of the
Legislature, setting forth, in brief, )Ir. M’Mi
chael’s eminent. virtues. This sort. of endorse‘
ment resembles the recommendation generally
procured by a young man in search of it situa
tion, from his friends and acquaintances, who
certify to his sobriety, industry and general
good conduct, and answers as a moral passport
when he is seeking employment among stren
gers. The lecommendation of Mr. M’MmHAEI.
is worthy of roe-production, and accordingly
we give it :
_.gflléiii'LAanl-uu, SlWember 24111, 1860.—Dear Sir: A
563‘tdmis to be chosen at the approaching session of the
chi‘ala'fire; Ind we desire to present for your consid-
Géfnfionflrgur candidate for that. important ofi‘lce, our
friend fid'townsman, Morton M’Hichnel,believinghim
{to he possessed in a. large degree of therarious qualities
required. fofitilling it with credit to himself: and advan
<=t§xc tovjliis fellow-citizens.
"al‘ew'men limbo Steve have labored in the past more
disintere'stedl ', more assiduously, or more profitably to
the cunt. in its support of which you and wellnve been
engaged; Torte one, :5 we believe, are we more indebted
for the niodeiniion with which the recent canvass has
been conducié'dfi—for the consistency with which our
principles hevélli'een'maintained—cr for the great tri
umph which higher-. 11 achieved.

Henry 0.; only, William 1:. Kelly, John P.
Verne, John Gi'lgg, Charles (iilpin, William 1).
LewisLWiilinm B. Mann, Charles Gibbons, and
others of lees note, together with a number of
mercantile ‘firms,rwho are probably under the
impression that the Senntorship has something
to do with trade. in places Mr. M’MICHAEL in
the from. rank among the candidates already
named for the Senate, by making him the only
Philadelphia. candidate. If the Scnctor is to
come from Philadelphia, Mr. M’Mlang-xi. must
be the man. No other candidate would venture
to contest his claims in the face of such an
array of prominent and influential names.
We have no means of knowing who stands
the best chance at this time of securing the
great prize, but doubtless before the meeting
of the Legislature the contest will be narrowed
down to a few men. M‘Cnrnl, it is said, has
pcremptcrily declined being considered a can
didate; "Md! 3501113 Pretty go od evidence that
he would stand no chance if he was. lix-Gor.
POLLOCK is still actively and prominently in the
field. He stands in the from rank just now,
and his interest: will be materially advanced
by the sympathy, if not the active assistance,
of the Governbr elect. Win-nor will make a.
bold clutch at the prize. and his firiends create
considerable noise over it ; but the Republicans
begin to feel thit the old Democrats in their
party have already received ndequntcrcwards,
and that. it is now the turn of the Old Whigs.
Wlulor answerer] well enough for Ihe leader of
n forlorn hope, but will be crowded out by a
successful party. -
Probably the necessity of moderation on the
part. of the Republicans, in order to allay the
excitement and danger following the election of
Lincoln, may opercte in favor of Mr. M’chm EL.
01 course it will make him enemies as Well as
friends. The decided Republicans will not
relish the idea of promoring a. man who was
mug-1y dragged into the support of Republican
mecsnres against his better judgment, and who
avoided, as far as possible, while slumping the
-,St'cte,rs.ny allusion to the negro Quest-ion. But
the strength of thenltrns and the moderates
willin all probability-he tested in the choice of
a Senator; and if men or moderate views ob
tain the ascendancy, Mr. M’Mlcnnn may be
elected.
The first legislative action in reference to the
“Personal Liberty" laws, intended to nullify
”"1 Fugitive Slave law, has taken place in Ver
mont, the most decided Republican State in the
Union. A bill for the repeal of the nullifica
tion act of that. State was introduced at the
present session of the Legislature and discussed
with much earnestness. On the division, on
its final passage, it was defeated by the very
emphatic vote of 126 naya to :3 yeas, Of those
voting for the repeal were all the Democratic
members (:33 in number) and :25 Republicans.
All the nays, 125, were Republicans.
Nothing but an earnest. and honest disposiv
tion to render justice to the Southern States,
on the part. of the Republican States of the
North, their press and people, can suflicc 8‘
this time. Does that sentiment prevail? We
were almost persuaded that so manifest a duty
would be favorably entertained, by the men
who alone can influence the Republican mind
on this subject, but the ln-st two days have
brought to our notice so much of the contrary
spirit, through the press and the pulpit, that
our hastily formed hopes are nearly blasted.
If it is the settled and deliberate purpose of the
political party of which Mr. Lincoln is now the
representative, to maintain, in power, the some
ultra and sectional attitude which it has as
sumed in the pursuit of political nsccndency,
we can only say, upon them be the responsi
bility. We are prepared for the issue, and
only await a distinctive policy on their part, to
determine our course of action. Let us have
the conflict at once, if it must. come, and let us
go to the people of theNortiz; on the question
of equal rights to all the States. With this
question fairly and distinctly presented, strip
ped of all collateral considerations, :1 correct
decision must in the end be reached. We will
beat the Sectionali'eto 0”. their own ground. -
The course of Vermont in regard to this law
ispeculinrly dishonest. Before its admission
into the Union it had a, statute to prohibit the
reclamation of fugitive slams. It repealed
the law, in order to get into the Union; and has
since passed a most iniquitous not, not only
declaring fugitives free (against the express
injunction of the Constitution,) but punishing
_the claimant with a fine of $l.OOO and five
yenrsjmprisonment in the State Prison.

Tn}: Cnisrs.-—-Wc received last week the
following note, which in our View is the only
communication of the number we have received
upon the subject that‘pra-cticelly grapples with
the matter in hen-Ll. We do not say this be
cause it corresponds in spirit with what we have
proposed, inasmuch as we have been perfectly
willing to accept and publish anything of a.
practical character that met the case. But all
the projects we have received were either too
remote in their neiive purpose, mere expedients
depending upon contingencies, or otherwise
inconclusive. Whatever is done by the South
must lead to a. conclusion and elicit expression
from the North, or failing in this, end in disso
lution, unless the South is prepared to wait for
the Lincoln administration. That. is now be
yond hope. The lower tier or Gulf States will
not {lo this, and action is necessary with us.-—-—-

In proposing that the Southern fimtes should
say “upon what conditions and principles they
will consent to remain members of the confed

is, “conditions and principles” recognized by
the Constitution. The South asks only this,
and having this, will prow loyal to the Union

Mr. 7101 m Y. Knight, Supervisnr of New Castle, Wes!
chester county, New York, says, November. 1858:
‘3 I was, two years ago, attacked with fever and 85:110.
which, notwithstanding the best medical advice, con—
tinued to surely amict me for six tedious months; I be
cum yellow as sefl‘ron, and reduced to skin and bone.
Medicine and physicians were abandoned in despair. As
an experiment, I concluded to try a. single dose of six
of llruudreth’s Universal Vegetable Pills, on an empty
stomach, early in the morning. The first dose seemed
to arouse all the latent energies 01' my exhausted frame.
I feared the worst—their purgative effect was different
from anything I had ever used or heard of. At length
this cfl‘erzt ceased, and I seemed lighter and breathed
freer. That. evening I was indeed sensibly better and
slept. soundly ll“ night. The next day I followed the
same course, and continued to take the pills in this way
elmnt three weeks, when I found myself entirely cured.
My health has been surprisingly good ever since.”
