REpREsENTATIvE ELECTION. Our read
ers hardly need be reminded that another
election is approaching, which, under exist
ing circumstances, is probably more impor
tant than that which is past. The new
General Court in addition to the ordinary
business of Legislation will have to fill
four vacancies in the Senate for Suffolk
District, one for Bristol, and one for this
county, and probably one or two others
1t will also have to elect one, certainly, and,
it is supposed, tao, Senators to Congress.
Whether any one can be elected, who
VIII support the present National Admin
lstratlon with tirmness and ability, depends,
probably, on the filling of the vacancies in
our State Senate. Three of the candidates
in Suffolk are most determined opposition
lsts and it is possible that one in Bristol
and one In this county, may entertain SINH
lar sentiments. Ifthose should be elected.
we may expect to see the farce of the last
session enacted anew, unless, indeed, q
majority of the House are willing to con-
cur with the Senate. It is said that the
plans are already in operation to produce
such result. The opposition party are
taking advantage of the excitement in re-
lation to the free bridge, under cover of
which they intend to smuggle sufficient
number of their men into the House, to
control it. 1t is said that Middlesex, a.
lone, will send 100 members.
The opposition claim one half of the U.
S. Senate at the next session, which, with
the Vice President gives them the controul.
Under such circumstances it is important
that the weight of Massachusetts should
not be thrown into the same scale, and that
the influence she might possess, should not
be lost by the election of an inefficient man.
There are now in the Senate, three or four
men who are vaccillating in their opinions,
and who will be influenced in their course
by the ability with which the policy of the
respective parties is maintained. Shall
we, then, be represented by men who can
exercise an influence, for fair and honora-
BILE purposes, over such, or by others who
will themselves be made the dupes of the
designing and intriguing ?

this County cannot be mistaken. The gen.
eral policy of the Administration is APPROX
ed, and the course Of the opposition is con-
demned. Yet they should remember that
to sustain the Administration effectually.
more than good wishes is ne
cessary. Let its friends look to it, and sec
that none but good men and true, are sent
to the General Court. The spirit of dis
is abroad and will he at work
IN eUe,y town, and it should be met at home
and put down. No representative Of an
'g,tiUocaL character should be elected. He
should not only be decided but firm. Wheth-
sr he has been called a, tederatiSt or dem
,crat is of little consequence, so that he is
me who will unite cordially in support of
measures necessary to sustain the govern
nent of the country, against the attacks Of
hose who would put it down, merely be-
,ause the person at its head is northern
nan.
