OUK STATE SENATOR.

^STThe last Revieiu has a letter from onr Senator, the Hon. SWAX BRooKsmnE, containing some passages to which we would call the attention of our readers.— The following paragraph deserves special consideration:

"The people at tho last election appeared to be anxious for a change in Legislative sentiment, and they, by their efforts, changed the political complexion of that body from the last session. Now I earnestly call on them to look to this Legisla-

In.the above it will be seen that Mr. Brookshire demands of the people a close observance of the House of Representatives, "look to this Legislature," says he "and watcli them close," bal whispers not a word about locking to the Senate and Hatching them closc." That Old Line Senate, he seems to think, like Cocsar's wife, is above suspicion and wherefore, should the House be more closely watched than the Senate? Are they more liable to err, to do wrong,

than the Senate? Will they trample upon I

The next extract to which we would invile attention-is in relation to the election of United States Senator, and is as follows:

fhe election of United States Senator

is made the special order of the 22d day of February next. We say to the Fusion party, make your nomination. We want to s'ee the while of your eye, and have some •ho you

idea who you wish to elect. So far as I

have been able to ascertain, it appears that

Orth of Lafayette, is the most prominent man for that office, and why it is, I cannot

tell, unless he irf a degree or two further advanced in Know Nothingisni than someothers we could mention.

"Mv position is this, if we can clect a

say to them, if you hold a meeting to in- the superiority of those institutions to the stiuct me on this subject, hoid it at the pre5ciifc miserable system, wo have not ex-

The position of Mr. Brookshire is very clearly defined. As well might he have said, that unless a United States Senator can be elected who belongs to liis party organization, he will vole to stave off the election. He speaks of a man "national in h's politics"—and what are we to understand by that expression? Is it a man who favors the extension of slavery? Who bows to southern dictation? ho votes to repeal the sacred Compromises established by the Fn.'.iicrs of our Republic? The man whom Mr. Brook-hire regards as national in his politics, is regarded by a jority of Northern men and many South-1 expies^e erners as sectional in his politics- in his political creed there is not an element of nationality. But he hesitates not to proclaim that "he will vote to stave off the election." unless some one can be elected whose pclitieal character corresponds with his \!v'.vs. Tli?s declaration is made too in the face of overwhelming majorities against him. What new becomes of our Senator's doctrine of popular sovereignty? How docs he heed the vos populi as expressed through the ballot-box? Verily his professions of adherence to those doctrines are as a rope of sand.

]a,.,r0

uia.1

Again Hr. .B., Fpeaks of "a man who loves tho Union better than sectional strife." Can it be that he has forgotten who it was that exeiUid the sectional strifes of the last election? Has. he forgotten that Stephen A Douglass, the leader of his party was the author of the political storm which recently sivspt over our country? That it

was he who lashed the political waters into mountain billows within three short years after they had been lulled by the compromise measures of 1850?

In a word, Mr. Brookshire must have a regular Old Liner, or a regular unfaltering Locofoco, or he will vote to stave off the the election leaving it to the people to say at the next election whether or not he has done right. Iieader, we ask your close inspsctiou of this position taken by Mr. Brooksl]ire. Is Mr. Brookshire accountable to the future generations for his political course? Is he to look to future elections for his instructions? Must he call upon those who are yet to come upon the stage of political action to sanction or condemn his vote? Is he not utterly disregarding the voice of tho people as recently expressed? Docs he not say to the majority of the voters of Indiana, I regard not your wishes I regard not your voice as uttered in the late elections, but will look to future elections for approval or condemnation of my course.

Mr. Brookshire professes to bo a democrat, to be governed by the will of the majority, and yet with a perfect knowledge of that will, he boldly asserts his determination to stave off the election of U. S. Senator unless a man can be chosen whose politics are already condemned by the voters is own county and the majority of the voters of Indiana. He will look not to his own constituents but to those who iryiy be

tnre, and watch them close, so they may be able to determine at the end of the session whether they are profited by the change or not. If you are, for godsake continue, if il:e constituents of sonic other man.

you are not, then send men up here who have the love of country at heart, have interests in common with you, and feel that they are the servants of the people, and will enact such laws as will promote your best interest as one people."

And what right has Mr. Brookshire to set up his opinion "in opposition to the will of the majority? What right has he to disregard the voice of "popular sovereignty" when clearly uttered through the ballotbox?

With that unblushing impudence which marks the course of Old Line politicians, Mr. Brookshire claims for himself and his parly the high honor of being more nrition-

Senator. But his claims and pretentions

jJSsTThe New Albany Ledger and Crawfordsville Review, are denouncing the N. A. & S. Railroad, and pour out their vials of wrath on the head of its President, Mr. Brooks. Will they point to any President in our country who built a greater length of Railroad in tho same time than Mr. Brooks—who overcame greater obstacles? We are aware that there are defects and deficiencies in the road improvements might be made in its management, but Mr. Brooks is not the inefficient and careless man, as charged by these papers. The road is greatly in need of funds, wherewith to equip it with more power, more engines, more facilities for doing the vast business accumulating upon it. Conductors, agents, engineers, hands, &c., doubtless commit errors, are at times guilty of improper conduct, but these nets are seldom known to Mr. Brooks or the Board, and of course they are not responsible. Give them more power and the business of the road will be better, more promptly, more efficiently done. Mr. Brooks has done a great work, almost enough to wear down the energy of any living man, and should not be held responsible for all the mismanagement which occurs aloug the line of this lengthy road. For two weeks past no President, Board of Directors, Engineers or Agents could possibly have overcome the. obstacles which the storm, the winds and snow have thrown in the way of regular trips. They have done all within their power and all that could be asked.

Let these Editors, as is their want, come out in a tirade of abuse against the dealings of Providence in permitting the storm to rage, the snow to fall or drift upon the ro'.ad, and probably "such events may not occur sgain.

SENATE.—Mr. Stewart presented a memorial from Mr. Riddle, of Boston, asking for remuneration for his services at the World's Fair in London, in 1851. It was referred to the committee on Finance.

Mr. Seward presented a petition from Harvey Baldwin, for the aoblition of Slavery, provided it can be done consistent wilh^ the rights of slave-holders and our duty to the slaves. He proposes that a portion of the territory purchased of Mexico be set apart for colonizing the African race in this country, and that the proceeds of the public domain, including the mineral wealth of California and other territories thus acquired, be applied to aid the colonization society.

The Law of Divorce.

W"e know of no subject upon which the present Legislature could more profitably bestow its attention than this.. We do not know that tho same evils prevail throughout the State, but we do know that here the practice of granting divorces has grown to an evil which is little short of legalized polygomy. Whether the defect is in tho law, or in the lax manner in which it is administered we have not taken the trouble to inquire. It is enough for our present purpose, to know that the evil exists, and calls loudly for a remedy.

The practice has been growing in frequency, till now, it occupies a very considerable portion of every term of the Circuit Court. \Ye can now point to many men in this County who have two, and to many who have three wives living. The frequency of these occurrences has outraged the feelings of the people, and we but reiterate the general sentiment when we enter our protest against the further continuance of a pracfraught with so much evil to the morals of community. We do not say that divorces should never be granted, but wedo say that something better than tho Masonic reason should be given for granting them. If not, let the Legislature enact that hardness of heart shall be sufficient cause of divorce, and save the Court the time tfc trouble of trying other issues, which at best is often little more than mockery.— Warsaw Republican.
