In ih- Senate this mornng Mr. Evans from the Fl.
nance Committee, reported the Army Appropriation
Bill, llon winch the Senate and House have disa-
greed. some of us details. The COMMITTEE re-
commend hat the Senate insist on all the amend
menls which the Senate had engrafed uponihe bill,
aud the House had refused to concur III, with The
cep,loD Of single one and also IA committee of
conference This was accepredby the Senate.
The Naturalization Bill introduced by Mr. Wal
ksr, proposing TO reduce the term Of probation IRON
fve 10 two years, was called up, but it was Laid on
the table by small majority
Some morning business was transacted, when
the Tamil Bill was taken up. The question be-
ing on The motion 10 strike out the disiribu-
hon feature. MIR. Buchanan took the floor in
support OF the motion. In referring 10 the veto
message on the little tariff bill, Mr. Buchanan
was called 10 order by the President. Some con-
versaton and explanation occurred, when il ap-
peared that there was no difference between Mr.
buchanan and the Char, ana the gentleman pro-
eeeded with his speech. He made a very strong
argument against distribution, and was followed.on
the other side by Alr. Crittsnden and MIR Buchanan
Is how III The inds, OF reply The expectation is
thai the bl.i viii pass on Thursday. In that event,
Congress may be ready to adjourn on the fifteenth
instant.
The House this morning took up the Contingent
Appropriation Bill, and concurred in the action of
the committee OF the whole and ordered the bill 10
be engrossed There was then struggle for priority
OF business, but eventually the Senate bill for the
reorganization of the army was taken and is under
discussion.
The great treaty is nearly completed, and the ex.
pectatlon is that it will be communicated 10 the Se
nate on Wednesday The debate may be prolracted
Tor several days. perhaps but there no reason for de-
talalng the House after the legislative business i.
finished.
The subsistlng hostile relations between the Pres-
dent and the wing party, and the certainty that the
visor of feeling is not likely to be relaxed during
the Presidential term, render the political complex
ION of the Senate in the next Congress a matter of
considerable interest The decisive control of the
Senate which The wings have enjoyed tince the ac-
cessloh OF Mr. Iy;er, has enabled them 10 thwar and
embarrass the administration, and never since the
organization OF the government has the power OF a
majority been SO despotcally exercised Unexcep-
uOnable nominations have been rejected, imperti-
nent enquiries addressed To the executive and the
heads OF departments, the Executive functions inter-
tered Within Short every thing possible has been
DONE and many impossiblh'ies attempted, TO annoy
the Chief Magistrate and degrade the Presi.
dental office. II the wings maintain the as
cendancy in the Senate, these practices will be con-
tInued, and as tile Presidential Canvass proceeds
WIN additional means and Incentives TO annoyance,
and under circumstances OF aggravated insolence
and overbearng intOerance. Ii is OF much i'm, ort
therefore, to the harmony Of the Government, and
10 peaceful administration of its affairs, no leas
than the welfare OF the country, that there should
be republican majority in the Senate, alter the
resent Congress. littlc analysis OF the matter
and glance at The probabilities, is all thai can
be attempted now.
hp fer of SOW A.
iIh OF March next. Of these, ten are democrats
and seven wings. The democrats are
Williams, OF Maine; Wilcox N. H.; Smith, Conn.,
Wright Ny; Buchanan Penn; Cuthbet. Gees Basby
Ala; Alien, Ohio; Young, ILLINOIS; Linn, Missouri
The political condition of these several States is
snch that there is no probability of democratic less
IN either.
The following the Wings who go outs
Crafts OF Vermont Kerr, Mary lend; Graham NJ C.
Indiana.
The Wings will elect Senators in Vermont and
kentucky; Louisiana doubtful. but probably Wing.
The democrats will most likely gain in MARYLAND
North Carolina, South Carolina, and Indiana
The Senate now consists of thirty Wings and
twenty democrats, and two vacancies in Tennessee
There is a Senator TO be chosen in New jersey. in
the place OF Mr.. Southland The democrats will
probably elect in Tennessee and perhaps In New
Jersey The Senate, after the 18th of March, then,
may be fairly estimated TO stand as follows: :
DHocrdts -
And New Jersey, North Carolina, and louisiana.
doubtful MIR. Rives Is embraced in the twenty four
wings, but he has no sympathy with them nor any
Of their ultra measures, and will never oppose a
iacious resistance To the policy of the admlnistra-
tion In view of all these things, and taking into
consideration the fact that large majority Of the
people have become dsgu-ted with the wrciched
policy and broken promises Of the wings, and we
think II safe TO calculate upon the control passing
from the wings In The Senate az well as the House,
and also upon GOOD understanding and cordial CO.
operation between the executive and legislative
branches OF thegovenmentf for the last Two years of
Mr.. Tyler's present presidential term
The wings are ruined for the present as a party
Under state of things could they have maintained
the ascendancy which they had acquired by a
ioriutous concurrence oi favorable circums tances
They made a fundamental and faal error in the
grand contest of lS4o, when they promised imme-
date and substantial relief TO the people from the
action OF Congress. II was bIunder-worse, in po-
iical tactics, according to the French staterman,
than a crime. Promises of this sort may do their
work in the canvass, but when the time for fulfil
ment arrives, the imposition is exposed:in proportion
10 the disappointment of the people is the reaction
against the party which praciised the cheat.
