MR.. SENATOR HILL.
THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE "a,

NIX. HILL.
Senator Woodbury. and Senator Hill, were old and
virulent enemies, as proved by a letter Of the Latter to
the former, recently published in New Hampshire.
Hill had q double motive in supcrseding Woodbury.
triumphing over his enemy, and putting himself rec
ts ia euria, vith the nation. His anxiety was natu
raj, but his success against so considerable an an,ag
onist as Woodbury., under the circumstances Of his
own recent defeat before the Senate, is An enigma.
The probability is, that tho Jackson party had little
confidence in Woodbury., whose fidelity hsd been pro-
we'd not to be proof against temptations; for Eve years
ago, he was frst elected to the Seaate Of the U. S.
under pledges of supporting Mr.. Adams rs strong a
language could give.
Hrs expulsion from tho Senate, and Hills success,
have rent the ~. n. Jackson party in twain. Wood
bury's friends are indignant. aud himself cut of from
Executive preferment by this revelation of weakness
at home. seems to have slipped the opportunity or
taking fortune at the food. We annex some &C.
count of the i~ntrigues of the ta' g , tos os and their
friends, from the N. II. Journal.

The event shows that the Judge has 10 influence at

|ject. Had the Judge pursued a straight path, and
remained silent, his bitter enemy could not have thu,
,riumphed over him land the result would have
been most probably, a postponcment of the choice
until a new Legislature had been convened. But the
HtN,tes accused him directly and indirectly Of secret
hostility to the Comptroller, although he voted in his
favor ---of indecision-- of asking ADVICE of the mcu-
oers o the House when he alone should haze been

OF thea. letters, to Gov. P and to his Portsmouth

vantage was taken by Mr. Hills friends. The charge
of keeping back his letter 10 Gov. p. is an inference

Alay, and when he members OF Congress arrived at
Concord, Gov p. had received no such letter. AT

that these circums' suces were harped upon BY % ,st

This was dlEPlanned and systematiEed. Almost ev

by the modest Senator electtt or by his creatures,
who have been indebted TO him for some petty Office,
or who expect their reward. 1t is impossible that the
senator elect can have any weight or influence what
ever IN the body who must receIvo him; and who
Judged him unworthy to hold a minor office. But the
jackson majority are alono responsible for the mea-

u In a debate between the Secretary Of the
Treasury and SIR. Mercer, at the late meeting of the
of the Ohio g. Chesapeake Canal, the
Inter was charged by the Secretary with being q
Visionary. The cha &c was warmly repealed by Mr..
Mercer, who among other things, said ale was the
author Of the Board Of Public WORKS in Vagina
and Of the establishment OF her e lucation system,
which had been attributed TO Gov. Barbour and
he was the founder Of the Charlottesville
which had been run away with by Mr..
J~eferson; and he was the author of the great Revo-
luton in Virginia (call Of a Convention } which had
evou,uated in the formation Of her present constitu-
ton and he was s,igmatized rs q visionary man."

pretty sure it Is the report of Secretary Ingham him

another edition Of the Debate. II he should do so,
