OTJB SENATORIAL CAS DID ATE.
WHAT rOU MAY KXPECT.
By a reference to the proceedings of the
meeting of conferees from the counties of
Blair, Cambria and Clearfield, published in an
other column, it will be seen that Loris W.
Hall, of Blair countj, is onr candidate for
the State Senate. He is a man of fine natural
abilities, good acquirements, and an agreeable
speaker.
Our friends should bear in mind that this
Senatorial contest is one of the most impor
tant in the State, and that every eflort will be
made by our opponents to defeat our candi
date. Whilst the Senator whom this district
elects is in office, the term of Mr. Bigler in the
U. S. Senate will expire and a successor be
elected. It is therefore very important to
Mr. Bigler, if he desires a re-election, to have
some one elected who approves bis political
course and will vote for him. If Mr. Hall
should be elected, it will prove a severe blow
to the political prospects of Mr. Bigler and of
Lecompton Democracy generally.
Onr opponents seem endeavoring to make
the impression that Mr. Hall is a weak or un
popular man, and that he cannot be elected.
This is an old story, always told about candi
dates before the election, and ceases to gull
any body, as the plunder party will learn to
their regret before the campaign is over.
When this district was first formed it gave a
decided majority for tho Democratic party.
Last year the vote was close, but the majority
wasia our favor. We feel confident that the
district is stronger against the Lecompton De
mocracy now than it was then. Mr. Hall can
be triumphantly elected ; all that, is required
is courage and activity on the part of his
friends.
The opponents of Mr. Hall seem disposed
to avoid the continued discussion of the main
questions dividing the two parties. They find
it is bad policy j for the more these questions
are discussed and understood, the worse it is
for them. They therefore seem inclined to
carry on the coutest in another way. The
programme appears to be this. Inasmuch as
Mr. Hall lives at Altoona and has been em
ployed as an attorney by the Railroad compa
rer, it is intended to raise a general howl
of "monopoly," "corporation," "railroad,"
"tonnage tax," "taxation," and so iorth, and
every Lig and little Lecompton watch-dog is
to open his mouth and join in "the chorus, and
keep Tip an incessant barking of the same sort
from this time till after the electiou. You
will soon get accustomed to the bark, and can
readily recognize it when you hear it. '
Mr. Hall's views on public questions will be
made known ia due time, and we will venture
to say that on every one they will be such as
will meet the approval of candid and hon
est men.
Candidate for Juimje. We see by the
Bellefonte papers that Samuel LinD, Esq., in
reply to a note addressed to him on the sub
ject by a number of his fellow-citizens, has
consented to be a candidate for President
Judge ia the Judicial district composed of the
counties of Clinton, Centre and Clearfield.
Mr. Linn is well known to the peop'.e of the
entire distriet as one of the ablest lawyers in
the State. He would doubtless make an ex
cellent and ' impartial Judge. The County
Convention of the Fcople'a party, which met
here yesterday, adopted him as their candi
date. His election we regard certain.
Cor ntt CosvESTios It will bo seen by
reference to another column that the People's
County Convention was held on the 16th, and
a regular ticket placed before the people. The
ticket is one that gives general satisfaction.
The proceedings were of the most harmonious
kind. In truth,' it was generally remarked
that no political convention ever assembled in
Clearfield more respectable in its character,
r whose proceedings gave so much satisfac
tion. Our friends may depend that we are u
nited and our prospects most cheering.
Some of the Democrats are much troubled
about the maaner in which tha People's coun
ty convention was conducted. We admire
cuch disinterested intmwMHn? in other
folks affaira r

Gov. Wise of Virginia has a strong propen
sity for letter writing. An unfortunate editor
in the South favored his nomination for the
Presidency, and received a thirty-columns'
epistle from Wise. Since then he has indited
quite a number, all of which bjeatho a bold
and independent tone. More recently he wrote
one to a friend in New York, which, though
not intended for public use, has crawled into
the newspapers, and has caused much uproar
among the faithful. The Gov. thinks Virginia
can hold the South steady, and that he has
the inside track, so far as the nomination is
concerned. Douglas, in his opinion, has no
no show, and if he runs independently, aud
Seward runs also, Wise thinks he can beat
them both, if he is nominated, as he shall be if
he has the popular strength. "Or, if squatter
" sovereignty is a plank of the platform at
"Charleston, and Douglas is nominated, the
" Sonth will run an independent candidate on
" protection principles and run the election into
" the House. Where, then, would Mr. Douglas
" be ? The lowest candidate on the list !"
This letter eflectnally kills Wise. It has been
suggested that he should write no letter less
than thirty columns long hereafter. Short let
ters, like this one to the New York Softs, are
always dangerous, but in a multitude of folios
there is safety.
"First to Last." At the convention of
the Democratic return judges held in this
place last week, resolutions were passed in
structing the Judicial conferees to support
Hon. G. R. Barrett for Judge, the Represen
tative to go for Dr. T. J.Boyer, and the Sena
torial "to vote from first to last" for Wm. A'.
Wallace, for Senator. From this it would
seem that Mr. Senator Bigler is bound to hare
his friend W allace nominated. "Nuff ced."
