THE UNITED STATEs SENATE.-The
mos, importa mt position to be secured IN the
present political contest, is the Senate Of
the United States. The friends ofthe Ad-
mnistration, and Of the present system OF
internal improvement and national proiec
ton, cannot too strenuously direct their ct
forts toward this point. AT present there
is Jackson majority in the Senate
Whether it will be SO in the next Congress
depends Upon the judgment und energy
with which the friends of the Administra
ton conduct the approaching elections for
Senators. In Maine, with the Legislature
decidedly Admlnistratlonal, we may rely
on an accession Of two members, To the
Administration side, and a deduction oftwo
from the opposition. The same result will
in all probability happen in reference to one
of the Senators from New Jersey. and there
are some other changes to De made by
which the Administration may gain an in
creaseOf strength.
In this point of view, the election Of
Senator from this state, becomes Of the ut
most importance. There Is no fear We
shall send an avowed JacksonmaD, but we
nav send an Inefficient or q lukewarn
friend To the Administration. We have
tried talent and trustworthiness among us
through which the great object in Wow
may be secured, and there ought to be N,
l. ly,, fNt IA.
ndyidual 10 fill this high station.
Should Mr.. Adams be re elected, the at-
min,stration will be paralyzcd, as II ha-
! been, should there still be found MAJOR
! y in the Senate agalns, il, and even barr
| Majority in its favor, will not be cificlcn'
| nlcss it numbers among il men of talent
md tried Legislative skill and ability, who
,an successfully contend with the array OF
.alent which will be presented on the other
tide. The next Congress must sustain the
hook Of a severe struggle to overthrow
he American system. Its best safeguard
viii be in the strength Of the nrty in i,s
iivor, in the Senate. The House is more
popular and more luctuating body, and
Will undoubtedly change i,s elements so as
10 conform with the administration after
the next election, be it Adams or Jackson
The Senate, by controlling nominations
&c. has en immense power. Even should
The dread alternative happen and Jackson
be elected, the American system might be
saved by an efficient and firm majority oi
the friends Of the present administration IN
the Senate, and the prescriptions OF the
Jackson party might be materially check
Ial Tka odp,,So Of
mise, no yielding to private friendships OF
considerations Of emolnment for the indi
vidual to be chosen.-The best and mos,
efficient man for the station should be Sc.
! lected, and who that man is, it will soon be
phe duty of the Legislature to decide, and
we doubt moi they will 80 decide,as 10 place
bbeyond all cavil the sincerity of their pro.
