Next Congress-President's Message-New
and Important Movements.
According to all appearances, the next session Of
Congress will be very important particularly in re
latou 10 foreign affairs The first move ments Of
that body, at its meeting early next month, will be
It's organlzation-the election OF Speaker and OF
Prin'er-and the reception OF the Presidents mes
sage.
1t is supposed by some that great deal Of difficult
~ will arise from The mode OF eleciing representa-
tves by general ticket, adopted by several States in
derogaton of the late law of Congress prescribing
the district system The point in dispute is whether
Congress or The States have the absolute right To
preserve the mode OF electing representatives Il
Congress should sustain its laws, il will rjec'
the representatives from several States and order
new election. This may create a great deal Of ex.
element, debate, discussion, quarrels, and con.
sumption OF tobacco, gin, and gunpowder.
The next question will be the election of speaker
and printer. On these questions there must be a
warm and close contest In the House there is
about one-thlrd or more democrats. or these pro-
badly a mai rity are favorable 10 Vau Buren's no.
mioatoh. Ii The irirn Is of Mr.. Calhoun and The
other democratic adherents unite with the wings
against the Van Buren, candidates. there may be
close and doubtful contest Francis p Blair will
be the Van Biren candidate for printer-who for
speaker we know not.
But the most important matter Of all, will be the
topics in the Presidents Message. 1t is now known
and admitted that he will take strong, il not be-
gerant, ground against England on the Texas and
Oregon questions. o. both these subjects the in
trigues OF the English government have been de-
tec'ed- particularly in regard 10 Texas-an the
President will recommend new and intimate re-.
laton with Texas-certainly anuexation-and also
the taking possession of the American portion Of
the Oregon territory. The refusal Of the English
government to open negotiations for new CONNER.
cial treaty, coupled with these ntrgues in Texas and
Ostgon, have offended the United States govern
ment, and position will be assumed that will aso.
nlsh moderate men oil all parties.
Ga the question Of Texas and Oregon, we have
no doubt there will be great excitement in Con-
eress-'nd perchance a rev division If parties
throughout the country. No one can predict the
result
PROGRESS CT THE REvoLuTIoN-TuE RECENT
ELEt Tons IN MICHIGAN AND MASSACHUSETTS = The
moral and political revolution whose seeds hsye
been ger ninatlng for several wears past ard which
will eventually Effect the complete 4dicaon OF the
tyrennicaI corruption OF both parties begins 10 de.
yelope itself Ia other States besides New York.
An election has Just taken place in Michigan, and |
one In of the suits of both of which
we have received returns of sufficient magnitude 10
enable US to form an accurate opinion of the causes
and consequences OF these events In the State OF |
Michigan, II appears that the strongest hostility |
was excited against the conduct Of the whig partv
and accordingly we have The extra ordinary result OF
the election OF only one wing to the lower branch
OF the Legislature OF that State, and the democra-
tic candidate, as he is called, returned by large
additional majority over that of last year From
Massachusetts we have also very remarkable re. |
turns, showing the state Of public opinion in that |
important state. II appears that there neither OF |
The two great parties is sufficiently strong to carry
any Candidate Tor Governor-that both the wings |
and iocofocos have been defeated before the peo-
pie, and that the third party has increased vote TO
such an extent as already TO counterfeit in great
me Asure, the formerly dominant factions
The causes which have produced such remarka
bic results in these recent e ections have been re-
peatedy alluded to-they have been felt all over the
couatry-and now beginning TO operate on eve
~ eectlon and every popular movement that takes
place 10 this city, al The very onset the new Jade
pendent or republican party, who have organised
themselves 10 correct The corruptons of both par.
ties, polled 10 900 Throughout the State the
democratic or Van Buren, party, il is true, nave re-
ceived majority of about 20 600 votes but if we
take into consider alton the suppressed vote Of the
whole State, ii will be that even the locofocos
have majority against them of over 100, 600 votes
The leaders OF this faction are therefore indebted
Tor this apparent to the disgust entertant
OF the conduct a I'D measures OF both parties by the
great body OF the people, which has Produced dis
inclination 10 go TO the polls until satisfactory op
portuaity be afforded them Of expressing In an indie
pendent manner, their opinion the political affairs
oil the state and country generally In Massa
notwithstanding the efforts made by Mr.. Webster,
and the supposed union between him a. Mr. Claw
the wings are IN worse position than ever Ii is
perfectly evident that the people of Massschusetts
are disguised with both parties, whose vote has sui
fered marked dlminuton, whilst that of the third,
or independent party, by whatever name it is called
has been sensbly increased.
All these elections and their results tend 10 one
conclusion and elucida,e one moral to wit that

throughout the whole couatry-a movement that
has been generated by disIus of the corruption and
general worheesness Of both parties-a NOV -ment

parties have been demolished, and congressional

II is true that it must be admitted that in all
these movements. the friends OF Van Buren, appear
