Show The coaREsrosDESTS profess to have found out that tbe venerable Senator Hamlin will not ba a candidate candi-date for reelection; but the correspondents correspon-dents have been misled. When tn.i( dignified swallow-tailed coat ia missed from the senate chamber, it will be when its wearer has beeo gathered ty his fathers, which event is not likely 1 to transpire for a generation yet, being as be is not quite eeveuty years of age, 1 and is well preserved, having held office, state and national, continu ouily, since 1S36. Mr. Hamlin does not amount to much, but he is an institution and fixture of the senate, as much as the gas jets, or vice-president's desk. |
