The General Assembly went into the election oi United States Senator on Friday last, at o'clock, which resulted in the election of Colonel CHESTER ASHLEY, of this city For the particular vote, the reader is referred to the regular report of the pro- ceedings of the House on that day, to be found in another place. It is only necessary here to say that out of 96 votes, Co Ashley received 70 show ing him to be almost the unanimous choice of the Legislature

 Before the election we declined, forreasons here toiore made known, expressing preference between the worthy gentlemen, who were spoken of as can didates for the high station. We however opened our columns to the advocates of all, and published every communication sent or handed, to us on the subject, except one, advocating the election of Gov Yell, which came in after the reception of Gov Tells letter, declining to be candidate; and this was suppressed by the consent of the writer.

 We now cheerfully announce our entire satisfac- ton at the result of the election and will lend ouI pens 10 the support il before the people, intending at the timeno disrespectfort the claims of Judge Brown, who was defeated. Had he been elected, we should have supported his election with much plea sure. For so long as the Democratic people recog- nise the Banner as their organ, it will be found n the advocacy of the acts of their Representatives, unless they should do something that is absolutely wrong, in our jndgment then we will be bound in all boldness to express our disapprobation

 Col. Ashley is a gentleman of the first order oi talents anable debater and ofvenerable appearance He is devoted 10 the principles of Democracy, and ever ready to put forth the masterly efforts of his powerful mind in their defence.

 The State may well be proud of such Senators as CoIs SEWER and ASHLEY, and such Represents tiTea as Judge CKoss and Governor YELL. In nsuch hands she has the greatest assurance that her inter- est will be well attended to in Congress.

 The delegation from Arkansas will prove able ad- jancts to the administration of Mir. Polk or formda- bie opposers of Mir Gays.
