SENATORIAL ELEcrIoN.-A, the asy Of

SENATORIAL ELECTION.-As the day Of
trial approaches, events transpire to urge the
friends Of the Administration to be vigilant, lest the
enemy, Mr.. Potter, should succeed in ejecting the
Hon. Mr.. Robbins, from the place which he has so
ably filed. A deep.-a and well regulated game, is
now about to be played and il becomes the friends
Of the Administration to be on the alert, lest they
are defeated.

proaches we will, Just for the information. Of the

coalition has been entered on between Elisha X.
Potter, job Durfce, and John r. Waterman, and If
il he not destroyed Mr. Robbins prospects OF elec-
ton will be sad indeed.
Mr.. Waterman, il is well known, has gained a
decided popularity among the country inte' est, by
reason OF the part he took on the late Bank Tax
Question: in this movement he was seconded hy
Mr.. Potter, and it is presumed that they agreed
mutually TO share the spoils OF the game. Mr.. Pot.
ter is candidate for the United States Senate but
f should appear that he cannot succeed, then his
influence is to be transferred to the next candidate,
Mr.. Waterman, as will also be all that commanded
by Mr.. Duree.
We have conversed with an intelligent gentle
man, and memher of the Legislature, on the sub
ject OF the approaching election, who. although he
Is decidedly confident ofthe ultimate success of Mr.
Robbins, says that If there is thing to be feared,
it is from the friends and partizans Of MIR. Water

cate of Mr. Crawford, and il is not likely that the
feelings Of hostility he then imblbed for Mr.. Adams,

which have elected our correspondence. " e

deavor to treat him with great decorum-great re

thatwew will make good the charges we have preferred
against Mr. Holmes, we will stand accused and
adjudged of ofuttering fasehoods, and Of giving crcu-
lation to reports which are as 4" baseless" as the
fabric of a VISION"
The discussion, as far as it shall go, will be found
in the first page of subsequent nun bers OF the Ca
det, AMI We have to ask our honorable antagonist
10 make his essays concise and brief as possible.
We had written thus tar when the Eastern Ar

dressed to us, the original of which was received
by Wednesdays Eastern mail. IT we had
known that Mr. Holmes, intended publishing it, we
should have favoured him with a reply IN this
day'sCadst. But as we did not expect the pub
lcation we made other arrangements for this weeks
paper, and determined TO devote to him, our first
page of next Saturdays publication.
We make this remark for the information OF MIR.
Holmes and those citizens Of Maine. who may
feel interested in the affair, and parcu lary for the
benefit OF those good na' ured friends, who have
gravey prophesied, we would ingoriously retreat
from the contest. Iftruth can avail us ahy thing
we are certain of success in substantlating our
charges. We feel no particular anxiety about the
result ;-if we defeated by the ingenuity OF the
