SENATOR FROM PENNsYLvANIA.-The Legsla- ture of Pennsylvania have elected SIMON CAMERON to the Senate of the U. &, to fill the vacancy occa- stoned by the appointment of MT. Buchanan in the i Cabinet.

 1 There were THIRTY-FoUR candidates placed in nominations and a choice was made on the 5h bal lotting At private meeting of the democratic members of the body, the Hon. Geo. W. Woodward selected as the most suitable person to be placed in nomination, but they could not afterwards unite upon him. The Democratic Union says of Mr. Cameron:

 The interests of the republican party, i'll the Senate of the United States, arc committed to democrat every way worthy of the honor Gen. CAMERON has ever been faithful, firm, and consistent supporter of the men and measures of the democratic party, and at the last election contributed essentially to the triumph of POLK and DALLAS in Pennsyl- vania. On all questions of party character, his sentiments are known to be in strict uni son with those entertained by the democracy of our great commonwealth, and we cannot doubt that he will sustain them with zeal and ability in the distinguished position to which he has just been called. As the warm per- sonal and political friend of Mr. Buchanan, he will, we feel assured, adopt the example of that illustrlous statesman as his guide, and spare no effort to justify the distinguished marks of confidence reposed in him.
