U. S. SENATOR ELECTED. We arc pleased in being able this morning to announce the result of the election for United States Senator, •which took place at 2o'e!ock yesterday. The vote .stood on first ballot, for 11'. S. Lane, 88 for Jo. Wright, 57 Lane's majority, 81. ftovoruor T^auc takes the place of Dr. Fitch, whoso term of offico expires on the 4th of March next. iliirrah for ''ilarrv of the West.''

iTJie A*resident Hacking Down. •-.'•The friends of the I'nion very much fear that Mr. Buchanan will give way to iho rebels of South Carolina, and allow them to trample under foot the authority of the b'eneral Government, lie has so long been'in close communion with those who have been plotting treason, that he seems afraid to do anything contrary to their wishes. This timidity only increase? the insubordination now so rampant in South Carolina. lie has turned a deaf ear to the best friends of our country, and has tamely submitted to the vilest insults ever otiorod by an outraged mob to the victims of their anger. A stern and unyielding stand in favor of enforcing the laws would long since have checked the mad schemes-of those who seek to establish a monarchy" on the ruins cf

Iiiis

Jvepubilc.

ft can not now b'c JoubUd that Toombs, Thompson and Floyd, three members of this democratic Cabinet, •were plotting for a Southern Confederacy long before the time of their resignation.—r They had exhausted the treasury, made the government bankrupt, distributed the arms and ammunition of the government through the South, endeavored to remove the artillery from the Xorth. all under the immediate eye of the .President, and he too blind or too stupid to see it. It is really humiliating that so great a nation, posse.-sed of such powers, should be so disgraced by f-uch aii imbecile President. Why do not those who elevated him to his high position induce him to resign, or bring such measures to bear upon him as will Induce him to maintain the honor and integrity of the American Union? Wj

The Democratic party can claim the

RF.DIT

of having elected the poore: t,

the most stupid and imbecile Chief Magistrate ever set in the Presidential chair. A democratic State rebels, tears down the Isational flag, bids defiance to'Xutional authority and a democratic President "quails before her rebel!ion, pockets the insult, dares not lift that flag from the dust, and fears to exercise Iris rightful authority in vindicating the honor of his country.

ATTE23SPTEW IieiiESERY. An attempt wa.s made by a burglar on Thursday night last, or rather about one o'clock 011 Friday morning, to cn-1next issue ter Ue Jewelry store of Messrs. James Patterson i' Son. in tiiis city, through a back window. The graceless villain however, was foiled in his desiro for plunder, by Thomas Patterson, the junior partner in the firm, who, in company with Mr. Yr. Brown. w: sleeping in the apartment, through which the thief expected to obtain access to the store, fn his attempt at. and opening of the window shutter, young Patterson awoke, and being (as he always should ready for any emergency* and seeing the position of the intruder, fired some two or three shots from one of Colt's best: which, judging from the large quantity of blood wasted near bv, must have done good work. At leastihiS:Sliould"be the prayer cf every honest citizen. In the morning, as soon as it was sufficiently light, an attempt was made by the proper oaieers, ar.d uther citizjns. to trace the offender^ wanderings,- which they succeeded in doing for sonic distance, bat to no avail and up to this time we have not learned that there is- anything definitely known of his v.'hera:bonis, or the extant of the injury received by liim for this atrocious act. Wc trust, however, that Ibis burglar may be farther lookoil after, and .if not beyoiul the hand of the law. (in death,)'-yet be brought to a gense of his duty—-that aii iiave rights, and that these' rights must and shall.be respected,

Attempts have also been made upon the preniisss of a number of our 0itizenr.,- within the past week, by burglars, but without success. Yfc hope our citi/.ens will, for the remainder of this winter. -trust in the Lord, and keep their powder, dry. Nothing short of this will bring such thieving scoundrels to justice. This will do it, when aii else fails and justice they should have, b}* all means.

For the Journal.

Mrs. i?Iartha E. Wlifle. Died, at Crawfordsville, Indiana, on the morning of December 18th, Mrs. Martha E. White, wife of Pvev. CharlesWhite, D. D.. President of abash College. 1 ,^:

Mrs. W bite was born at Peaeham, Vt", in the year 1804. She was the daughter of Lzra Carter, Esq., who died whileshe wasquite a child. Th usher early mental and moral training were left to her excellent, widowed mother. Her education at first was at Peaeham Academj', and af'terv. ards at, the Kev. Mr. Emerson's school at Saugus, S[ass. .... .-Vt the age "of thir'een yea'rs sho ." made a profession of rdigion, and united with the Congregali'-nal Church, under the care of the Pev. Ijeonard Worcester.:c-

After her marriage, in 1825. .she won many warm friends while her husband was colleague pastor with theiJev. Dr. Burton, at. Thetford, t.. and afterwards at Cazenovia an.'l Oswego, N. Y., where she resided some twelve years.

Since 18-11, when her husband became the President of Wabash College, her home has been at Crawfordsville.

In these places the light of her Christian character shone uniformly bright, and she shared the warm friendship of all who knew her —her memory will be most- fondly cherished.

Tier excellencies in the relations sheheld with her husband, as pastor and as president, ever awakened admiration. ,, and affectionate respect.

In whats'ue deemed her appropriate, sphere, her family, a uniform, amiable temper—a cheerful and elevated piety —high intelligence and refined literary taste, shed most precious influences upon all who shared her instructions, and witnessed her example. Vv hen by the inscrutiblc Providence of God, of of the ten olive plants about her table, one after another was stricken down,! till half their number had fallen, she bore her affliction with uncommon fortitude, and while her heart was deeply bleeding for her loss, she bowed iit sweet submission to the will of her heavenly Father.

Too soon, it woubl seem, for all—her husband, her children, her friends, tho church, the poor who so often felt the warm pulses of her charity—too soon has she been removed to her bright and heavenly home. fn her last sickness, pneumonia, which wrought its work, in one short week, the piety which had prevaded#her life shono forth in a calm sub:nis-t sion, and a blight, unwavering faith, which could say. almost in the last agony, "Though lie slay me yet will I trust'in Him.'' The man)* beautiful sayings she uttered to her friends when she knew her hours were but few, were like the meilow rays of the fullorbed sun at a cloudless setting.

Those who witnessed these closing scenes, felt that they were "quite on.g the verge of heaven,'" and when she was gone, that a noble and beautiful spirit, who through grace had conquered sin and death, had departed to ha.» her kindred, gone before, and to mingle with tho spirits of the just.
