The This body will have important duties to perform and it is proper the press be- shouM some of the nent questions ibat will come before it and seek lo public sentiment ing One of iu first duties will be to elect a United States senator to succeed Doolittle A portion of the press have spoken decidedly in favor of re- election of Judge One of the reasons of ibis in his favor was tbe that a division of sentiment might lead to the election of a pro slavery senator and on that account some of the conventions in the strongest anti-slavery districts instructed their representative to vote for Judge Doolittle And yet their constituents would much prefer a senator of tbe character of Judge Potter We have now no member in either house of congress for the next term representing the radical anti-slavery sentiment of the state und have only old and old democrats who clung to old parties till the ry dissolved them or lill n post of high honor in tbe party ed before quickened vision It is not uncharitable to say that Judge does nol possess ibe confidence of uest anti-slavery men of state Ilis past record has not been such ns to inspire them with faith in his future course could not be trusted as Judge Potter could to do righi in all contingencies and every Ue has never made any for tbe anti-slavery cause but vaulted at once from the embrace of slavery to the in the gift of a too
