Rensselaer Union, Volume 1, Number 7, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 12 November 1868 — United States Senator. [ARTICLE]

United States Senator.

We sec that many papers over the State hoist the name of Lieut-Gov-enor Will Cumback for United States Senator. From our standpoint, we think the whole principle w’rong to elect a plan to an office to be used as the stepping-stone to another before ho has served out the term for which ho has been elected. -* The people of Indiana voted for Cumback for Lieutenant-Governor, and not for United States Senator, and wo believe that a majority of the people will want him to serve out his teriiiinthat office. If Mr.CtrtiirACK stood head and shoulders above the balance of the leaders of tho Rcpublican party .in this State, it then. might bo different, but there are many others who did as much to secure the victory as he, and are as worthy,. - AmangJto-^a n 4.E£2Bk. iuent Col. Tuos. 11. Nelson, R. Wt Thompson, Hon. James N. Tyner. ’All of those gentlemen worked earnestly in the cause, and it would be no more than right for tho people of Indiana to reward one of them with the position of United States Senator, rather than a man who has already been sufficiently rewarded for all the work ho did to aid the Republican cause. .*■ * ■— 9 CS’T’Messrs. Pettengill, Bates & Co. announce that they will commence the publication of a new “Rural.and Family Paper,” at New York City, “on or before January next.” It is to be a Weekly, and under the general editorial charge of Mr. Donald G. Mitchell, (Ike Marvel.) Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe is to supervise its Home and Fireside Departments, jind contribute regularly to every number. We are confidant it will merit the brilliant success we heartily wish it.
