 D The Grs, session of the 22d Congress will as- sembe on Monday next. Some of the members, as we learn by the Washington papers, are already on the ground. It is imagined by some that there will be considerable struggle for the Speakers chair. We should thiak, however, that although Mr. Stevenson the late Speaker is opponent of the Tariff and Anne. rican ys,e fine will consentt to serve, will be eiec- ted. The Jacksomians undoubtedly constitute nlajo ri,y--and though they may differ oa more imporian.
 matters, they will he likely to unite in the choice of Speaker. We have heard named as a co,npe- t,or to Mir. Stevenson At this session, remarks the Journal of Commerce, the unprecedented spectacle
 will be witnessed, of the President and Prime Miois- ter of the former Administration (Adams and Clay) taking seats as menbers--One of the House, and the other ofthe Senate. What an illustration of lhe sm- .ieisy of our republican institutions.
 knCe Message ofthe President will doubtless be de-
 IedAon Tuesday, and may be expected to reach ,,s'srs the Friday night Saturday following.
 My. Clay elected Senator Co Congress.-OD the 10th ul,. tho two houses of the Kentucky Legislature into the election, of Senator to Congress in the place Of Mir. Rowan. On tho fret ballot, HENRY CLAY was elected. The vote sood thus: Ofthe Senate. for Mir Clay l8-Col. K. N. Johnson l9-Worden Pope 1.- or fthe Representation, Mr. Clay had 55 Col. John. son 45-majori,y of the whole for Clay, 8. This i, must be confessed is rather mcagre majority for Ken uckyto give her GasOri,c soU bu, shcws that the vann,ing cksonsm--which asserted that Mr. C. could not be elected ai a--s not always 10 he taken for truth. To show in wha, light this election s view cd by cditOrs make one two extracts. The ed. itor of the National Gazette, who by the way s per. haps the abIest of the corps in hc country says:- '.The election of Mir. Clay is which will pro. duce sensation throughout. the country. Al Wash- ingon, it must be felt the return Of Napoleon from Eiba was at Paris The Globe seems ,o hear already shs ,hanters of Mr. Clays bat,le-axe, and clamours most abusivey. It declares iha n attempting get into the Senate he has done all that is necessary "co,npe,o his disgrace, and consumma,e his run." s~s "The Calhouns, the CIays, the Wcbs,ers, &he Taxewels the Ty!ers have been particularly the objects of passionate nsectiye in the official paper. They are men and strong men, and have n common cause with their country"
 The N. Y American has the following remarks :-
 s.The election of Mir. Clay the Senate is, in ihe reseUi c0aditioR ol that body, ain important event- Hs great personal influence, his eoquence abilities ,AW leading part, and in conjunction with Mr Webster to exercise great and just in0ueace over the debera- tons and acts of that body. It happens too that 4nong those who are considered tho immediate conf. aants and persoaal-dependa would perhaps he too s elrung word, ba,-evo,ees Of the President, there are n0ae of any marked talent. Mr. Taaewel of Vir. ainia, has been again and again denounced by the Thorough going party men, as aU enemy in disguise, becauss he has will amd conscience of his own skngs aot.o be tolerated in irue type ofJacksonism Ms Hayne s the personal friead of MT. Calhoun, who cannot, nor ihs friends who adhere to him, would etl1iose sustain the administration with any of the warmth of pariixans. Mr. Beaten indeed will be sere 0 rehearse his ponderous foics inthe shape of speeches and atone hy actual servy, for past hos sity e ths Chief; but he is at hest heavy thrd ter who cannot stand a moment before either Mir. Clay or Mr. Webster. We are not therefore surpris- cd that ,he Globe is shaken by the anticipation at Dir. Clay's elsclipn much less at the language i0 which i. refers the possibility oftha event That has become under this dynasiy qUiie the ocia lan- -euags; to such degree indeed, ihat there is some season Co doula whether the lgentiemeR who compose the Cabinet will be able to preserve their accustomed style of talking and writing, or t they do, whether ,tkey will be intseibe to thnse who snrround them. Upon lhe whole the Senate will be decidedly the body ss whose proceedngs most interest will attach at the essning session of Congreas."
