From the N. 0. Morning Herald.
The next senate.


The perusal Of the following article,
which 10 taken from tho Providence r. /.
Gazette, has reminded US that We have seen
The statement made, that in the event Of Mr.
Folks election, Wing Senate show him
the imPotency Of his power and influence,
and would, in all respects, exercise q cons
trolling authority over him.
This threat in advance, for Il is worthy
Of no higher nPpellatiOn--is, 70 say the
least, ill>timed aud foolish, and SCENE 10 in.
innate that what the Senate has been for
years past; as faCtious in its action as the
} most insignificant legislative body in this
country; is TO be q criterion Of its conduct
for the future, it the Wings are able to
maintain their ascendancy in il. II 10
most astonishing that party which pro-
fesses to be shocked at the infnoralities
and excuses Of both Government and PeO-
pie, and TO see in their continuance no Olh>
er result than anarchy and the final oYeEa
throw Of Republican Institutions, should
desire to bring into greater disrePute, or TO
obliterate the little respect now entertaied
for body designed by the trainers Of the
constitution TO oPperae as a check upon
excuses, and sudden and violent ebulihons
Of party an personal feeling, and to which the
wings aught TO look as the chief instrument
in correcting the evils they seem so much
to dread. II they are sincere in the appre.
tensions they express, and are really So
licitous to adopt the most efficient, and at
the same time most appropriate and legal
method 10 restore the government to its or
iginal purity, and TO avoid hereafter any
deviatOns from constitutional rule, their ex-
erions ought TO be directed to the safety
Of the Senate, TO the preservation Of its i'm
Iegrity as a public body, and to the expuI-
sion from itof anything Of a partisan or self.
i'h character. 1t has suffered materially
IN the las! TOUR ye"rs-io say nothing Of its
downward tendency for the last TENN mo
public esteem, and in its usefulness az the
enemy Of faction, and the reliable safes
guard Of Republican Institutions in moments
Of sudden political excitement.
II is useless to enter into detail, and specs
ify individual instances, Illustrative Of the
fact that the moral force Of the Senate
once enjoyed by it in an enviabIe degree
lis gone, and that, for patriotic impulses
and elevated bearing, it stands on no high
er platform than the most unimporlant legO
islative body in the Union. Under the
guidance Of men like Mangum, Berrien
and Archer, defeated and disappointed pol.
itiCiaus, and consumed almost by party and
personal hate, it has gone down rapidly
in the esteem Of all candid and honorable
men, and must, we suppose, finish its des.
tiny OF disgrace and inlamy, if used heres
atteE-as has been intimated, for the die.
nified and patriotic purpose Of embarrassing
the new administration, crippling its means
OF usefulness ,pOralizing its energies, and so
conducting as 10 minister TO the morbid
feelings Of an exasperated and conquered
party. We trust, however, that the supres
macy so confidently expected by the wings,
may yet prove TO be lancied one, and that
the reliance they have entertained Of suC-
fcient power in the Senate TO be a source
of annoyance to the Democracy, will result
in the disappointment of their expectations.
The Providence Gazette considers il alto
gether probable this will be the case, and
its reasons for so suppOsiDg our readers
will find subjoined.
