voted for, and the clerk endorsing the name
or number of the member on the outside of
the ticket; the names of the members and for
whom they vote, to be entered upon the jour nals. He said he was not disoleased with
the late election; but he was unwilling. to place the result of so important a matter to
the decision of a few men. whose names from
alphabetical arrangement or otherwise, might
he placed at the bottom of the list. It gave, he conceived, undue power into the hnrds of
a lew inaiviauais. it was contended on the part of those w ho opposed his plan, that every member was responsible to his constituents for his votes, and that the late method of election was well calculated to make men direct
ly responsible for their conduct.

On Wednesday evening, Dec. 12, Ihe question of the election of United States' Senator
was tmally settled, by the election of the Hon. A. S. WnrrE, member of the House of Rep. resentatives from the sctenth Congressional District. The principal struggle, during the tour days voting, wilh the exception of intervals in which the name of Gov. Noble was
measurably withdrawn, was between Col. Blake of Terre Haute nnd that gentleman. These gcntlemeu are both decided whigs, and dividing lhat party in the Legislature, the Democrats, who did not wish either of them to be elected, were able, although in a minority, to prevent an election, so long as Iheir respective friends Dersisted i n enstnininnr iliuir
fclairns by their votes. The friends of Gov.
ISoble contended, that he had the largest whig vote of any candidate of their party in the field, and consequently, according to general usage, in the other states, he ought to be
euj-ponea ns me whig candidate. The friends of Col. Blake pressed his claims, in
nddition to qualification, on the ground of his local position in the western or Wabash sec
tion ot t.ie State the Senator last electee!
residing in the East. The friends of neither
ol these gentlemen appearing willing, to any great extent, to give ground, after many un-snrr-PKGfiil n.i.i.fi : .i.r i. ..
f . j , which meir respective friends mustered as many votes as possible, it was considered alto?ethpr i
fcM,n',ction lhe Democrats only being
, "V ""Piw euner to a certain extent. In the afternoon a number of new names
were proposed, aad Gov. Noble's name measurably withdrawn, during which the name of Albert S. White, was proposed, amongst o hers, who received 19 votes on the first trial; a number of those who had supported Col. Blake rrom the commencement joining in the vote, on account of Mr. While's focal position. On the next trial, Mr. White rereivrrl OS
votes; on the next 52; leading Col. Blake 3 votes. An effort was now made to adjourn but was unsuccessful, and the next trial, Mr.
uue rcceiveu o votes, being a majority ol the whole number given, lie was consequently declared duly elected Senator of the
the SJfcf March next 4
Mr. White Is now about 35 or 36 years of
age. lie came to this Mate some tourtecn or fifteen years since from the State of New
York, where he had qualified himself for the practice of the law. . I lis modest and unas
suming manners, his literary acquirements nnd legal abilities soon gained for him the
esteem nnd well withes of the first men of our
State. For several successive vears he serv
ed In our State Legislature in the capacity
of Clerk, and was a gn at favorite wilh lhat
body, on account of the expedition nnd abili
ty with which he discharged the duties of
that otucc. ror several years past he has
tesidcd at L.alayette,on the Wabash. When
the 7th Congressional District was laid off. he competed for that station with Edward A.
Hannegan and was onlv beaten by n few
votes. At the next Election he was not a
candidate. AAer Mr. Hannegan having served this term, he was transferred to the
Land Office at Laporle, and Mr. White again
uecamc a canoiuate, anu was elected almost without opposition. His amiable character
and fine talents have won (or him the esteem of all parties, and although, on account of his youth, had he tendered his services, his claims
would have been rejected, all parties, now that the election is over, seem pleased with . li . . ... .
me reuu. no citizen oi tne slate will be more surprised at Ihe final issue than Mr. White himself. We feel confident no exertions will be spared, on the part of Mr. White, to further the growing interests of Indiana in the National Legislature. Mechan. Wednesday, Dec. 12. Un.-tgd States Senator. This day, the election of a United Stales Tcnator was set-
tied. In the morning session of the House, Mr. Judah introduced a joint resolution, proposing to postpone Ihe election until the first Monday in January next, which was not carried ayes 45, noes 52. Mr. Bryce then asked leave lo introduce a joint resolution, to postpone the time for electing a Senator, until the first Wednesday in Dec. next, which was not granted ayes 30, noes G6.
