THE state Legislature meets at Ilarri.i burg four weeks from next Tuesday, and tho question of who will be- the next Speaker is of interest to the members elect. Messrs Brooks of Philadelphia, Baldwin oi Lancaster, Bnrdick of McKean, Capp oi Lebanon, Thompson of Wairen, Baker of Delaware, and Lvtle of Huntington are spoken of a« candidates for the p'ositic n, and the contest for Speaker will probably mergc into the contest for U. 8.

One hundred and three years ago. in Mi-r of 1767, representatives • I all the thtr original State excepting one. net it 1 adelphia to revise the Article - * of Con.' r atinn that formed their Bond of I nion; and by the 17th ot the following Sep'ly will be for many centuries to come, ex cepting a fnrther change that sheuld be made in the election of Pr -idc-nts a.l Vice-Presidents, and also a change in the method of electing United States Senator'. At the time of Lbe formation of t!.< Ci-i stilution there were no telegraphs and rail roads to disseminate the news • f the world, people did not read of, discuss, a:.d con sider the affairs of the Nation as they do now, the judgment of the masses on in; portant subjects, and a? to the proper per sons to fill the highest positions was n< t to he relied upon, and therefore the framcr.- of the Constitution placed the selection of the officers named in the hands of electors and State Legislatures, and by tais mitb- 1 men have been elected President who re,i relented a minority of the whole Nati".', ; and in the different States men have been elected to the United States Senate, and are members of that body to day who liuve neither a personal following among the lieople, nor the requisite qualifications r,, r [ the office, but who can and do secure their j positions by the nse of money-and patron- I age. The Senators wer? made elective by the .State Legislatives for six years; they wen divided into clstsef, so as to secure t..>e election of one-third of their number every two years, and they were given concnrre-it jurisdiction with the President ;n the roam ing of treaties with other nations, and the •election of all the important Federal officers. Next after the President the office oi Senator is the most responsible, a: ! nn s: powerful in the Government, and no man in the Nation has a greater influence for good or evil than a United States Senator By this method of electing D. S. Sena tor? some thirty-three men have, since the organization of tho Government, beet, honored and trusted by the Legislature of this State with seats in the Senate of the United States. Some of them are known to have been great men, an honor and a credit to tit l, State, while of others there is a difference of opinion. A Cuited Slates Senator is to be chosen by the Legislature "I Pennsylvania, tl. t meets at Hariisburg next month, to fill tli« seat now (ecupied, or at least owned, by J. D mald Cameron, whose term expire the following March; and as he is a candi date for re-election, and as a poweruii effort will be mode in that direction, his qualifications for the office, and his claim upon the people of the State for their eon tinned J'.ivor are proper and pertinent snh j sets for dtseu-sion at this time. "Who is J. Donald Cameron?'' Ask that question of any hundred in telligent men of this State, and the answer of ninety-nine of them will be, "Why, he is the sou of his father, Simon Cameron, dee'd," or words to that effect. And who was Simon Caiaorouf Well, Simon Cameron from all we cm learn wan a remarkable man. lie Bt&rtc.l in life a poor boy, learned the printing trade, au'l made bis own way in the world and in politics till 1845, when a Democratic Legislature elected-him to fill the place id the U. S. Ben ate made vacant by the resignation of James Buchanan, who went into President I'olk's Cabinet. Judge Woodward and Simon Cameron i were the candidates before the Democratic caucus for the position; Woodward v.ou, Cameron bolted and with the aid ol the Whigs was elected. In 1857 the Legislature was Democratic by a majority of livo on joint ballot, and John W. Forney was the Democratic caucus nominee for Senator, and Cameron was that of the Republicans. On election day three Democrats, named Lcbo, Wagon seller and Mencar, voted for Cameron, and he was again elected to the Senate. Tie Democrats claimed that be had bribed the three Democratic legislators, arid there wu> a great fuss made,' but Camerou held bis *eut till he resigned it to enter Lincoln'-- cabinet, ns Secretary of War, a position that he did not liii to the satisfaction of the President ana tho party, and when the Uouhc of Representatives at Washington pa- ted a vote of censure upon him for some scandal regarding the giving of contracts for army supplies be resigned, and Lincoln sent him U> St. Petersburg. In 18G3 the Legislature of Tcnn'a wti again Democratic and this timo by but. one (1) of a majority on joint ballot. Chas. li. Pnckab'W was tho Democratic candidate for Senator, at.d Cameron was the Repub lican candidate. It was rumored that Cameron Lad secured the vote of a Demo cratic member name I Iloyer, of Clearfield Co , and on election day a train load of I'hUadelphia toughs, under the lead of a man named McMullen, surrounded the Capitol building at Harriabnrg, and ! thronged the corridor., and galieii . with ' orders to kill any Democrat who voted lor Cameron, (jud under this intimidation every Democratic member voted for Duels alew and he was elected. In IP!" Camerou beat Thaddet Stevens, the greater commoner that lis ever rep - seutc-d aii> Congressional district of tl. - Slate in Congress; the leader of the Hou<-e at Washington during the war and the man who originated some of the great measures that carried us though the war; in thi, Republican caucus at narrisbur;; for the nomination for Senator, and of ooarsi was then elected; though the fact ol his w :::uing in caucus maker one wonder what sort of stliif Republic tu Icgielalors were made of at that time. There was a scandal regarding tho affair, and au inves tigation, but it amounted to nothing. In 1K73 Cameron was re-elected and held the olfiee till 1877, when ho resigned, and suclvwas the power of the "machine" In had built up while in control of the Federal p«tr< nage of the State,that he bad the power and did, with the consent of a subservient legislature, turn the office over to his -on, w ho w as not known to have anj qnalifications whatever for the office, and ! nad little or uo personal following. Taough not kuowu as either a statesman I or orator, Simon Cameron held the office | of L. S. Senator from Pennsylvania for lti j years, and al the end .of that time turned , the office over to his ->on, by means ot w hat Don, cit a public reception held at bis house tnu evening after his election, styled their "impregnable organization." Ho never submitted his came to the people but ouce in his life, and that wa lor Congress, and he was beaten, aud yet by his judicious distribution of pr.trouage, aud insight iuto human nature in the sclcc- tion of his agents in each" county or d:*- j tri.-t. he perfected the organisation that ! controls the KepnMican State nomination.-* to ttfi - day.
