THE MISUNDERSTANDING SENA-
TORS.

Our readers must remember the system
Of persecution exercised by the admnlstra
tion towards the Wing Senators who re-
tanned their seats though opposed politically
to the predominant party in the States
which sent them. No viupcra,on was
too bitter 10 be employed against them !;
and the plan Of constructing" them was
originated by Mr.. Van Buren, in Order to
enforce them TO resign. For these insiruc
iiOnS of the majority, the administration
men, who would shield their servlly under
n plausible preicncc. have proiessed the
utmost reverence. They were willing to
regard themselves as the mere instruments
0s a dominant faction. and not as the en-,
lightened and patriotic legislators of their
country, ",hcir whole country" We eX>
pressed our adherence at the time for the
narrow and lntrlgneing policy, which in
duced Mr., Van Buren, tn originate this
system OF Instructions. But now TINT the
party have adopted the creed, we certainly
have n gbt to look for an evidence OF
their sincerity.
Will the Tory Senators from those
States which the Wings have revolution
lied, resign, or will they continue and mis-
represent the expressed will of maorl,
Of their constituents? They have now at
opportunity of practically enforcing tn,
doctrines, which they have so slrenuousl,
advocated. IL they are true to their pro
fessions-if the will of vast majority o
the people of the United States is respecte,
- they will resign either their place o
their politics. No other alternative il
left ttem-if they would escape from tn,
nfamy, which they would incur by the VIC
ola,on of their pledges. And unless the
do pcr6diously violate these pledges, tn
