The subssting hostile relations between the Presi-
dent and the Wing party and the certainty that the
vigor of feelings is not likely to be relaxed during
the Presidential term render the political complex
ion of the Senate in the next Congress matter of
considerable interest. The decisive control of the
Senate which the Wings have enjoyed since the ac-
cessioD of MIR. Tyler has enabled them to thwar and
embarrass the administration, and since the or
ganization of the Government has the power of a
ma iority been despotcally exercised. Unexcep-
uonable nominations have been rejected, imperti-
nent inquiries addressed to the Executive and the
heads of departments, the Executive functions inter-
fered within short, every thing possible has been
done, and many impossbilites attempted, to annoy
the Chief Magistrate and degrade the Presidential
Office If the Wings maintain the ascendancy in the
Senate, these practices will be continued, and the
Presidential canvass proceeds, with additional means
and incentives to annoyance, and under circumstan-
ces of aggravated nsolence and overbearng in ole
rance. 1t is OF much import, therefore, to the har-
mony of the Government, and to the peaceful admit

The following the Wings who go out -
Crafts, of Vermont Kerr, Mary land; Graham, N
C.; Preston, 5. c.; Conrad, Lou; Crttenden, Ky;
Smith, 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, aud Indiana.
The Senate 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 MIR. Southland. The Democrats will
probably elect in Tennessee, and perhaps in New
Jersey. The Senate, after the 4th of March, then
may be fairly estimated to stand as follows:
Democrats 25

doubtful. Mr.. Riyes is embraced in the twenty -four
Wings but he has no sympathy with them nor any of
tous resistance to the policy of the administration
In view of all these things, and taking considera-
ton the fact that large majority of the people have
become disguised with the wretched policy and
broken promises of the Wings, and think it safe
to calculate upon the control passing from the Wings
in the Senate well the House, and also upon
good understanding and a cordial cooperation be-
tween the Executive and Legislative branches of the
Government for the last two years OF Mr.. Tyler's
present Presidential term
