The Senate Of Massachusetts have this day, by
vote of rs out OF 30, elected John Davis Senator
in Congress, TO supply the balance of Bates's term
This term expires on the An Of March, IS47; so
"Honest John" has two years support provided for
him by his friends. Lately they have tried to make
him president OF the Massachusetts and Vermont
Railroad, with salary OF ss3, 500, but the stock
holders and directors had too much good sense to
make their embryo road q means where by to pen
sion of broken down federal politicians They ac-
cordiney declined the honor, and chose business
man for The work, at a salary OF 81, 500. The old
blue light federallss love "Honest John," lor he
was always one OF the faithful, and as you remem-
Der, threw off his old hat in the streets Of Worces
Ger, rejoicing at the news Of the taking end
burning OF Washington by the British, during the
last war.
The vote in the Senate shows that there was
some little kicking at the caucus nomination, for
the Senate is all whig, and yet four votes were
thrown against Davis. One of these was thrown
by Levi Lincoln, the President, for Il G. Winthrop
Lincoln wanting the place for himself. Two were
y.
and one was thrown by Charles F, Adams for
Charles Allen of Worcester. Adams ante d his
father 10 be chosen, but the Massachusetts cooEs
are afraid to trust the old man, and are also mad
with him because he did not oppose the Texas
resolutions unconstitutional. The House Of Re-
presentafives, this afternoon al O'clock, will pro-
baby cohfirm the selection OF the Senate, and give
Davis q round majority. The democrats in the
House, have neminaled d the Hon Frederick Robin
son, Warden of the State Prison, and former Presi-
dent OF the Senate, and will give their votes 10
him.
The Custom-House OF this city is still undisposed
OF, and Williams, the present Tyler Collector, is
Just fool enough to think he can keep it. He goes
on TO Washington this afternoon for the purpose OF
strengthening his position, but guess he will be
sent of with flea in his when he gets there
If he does not catch Tar ar, in the shape of com
mission tor Gov. Morton, on the road. Mr. Polk
holders, and will probably, when he sees Williams,
ask him what be wants WASH gton, and WHY
| ns did not stay at home and attend 10 his business
| IS Collector? Williams wrote some ugly letters
| 10 one Hogan, when he was trying to get this Of
hce under Tyler, and in one of the m he intimates
Hogan that there Is $500 office for himself
provided he, Williams, is made collector. These
euers are at Washington, and within the know
edge OF The President; SO you may judge that
Williams Will not meet very cordial reception
ne White House He is, moreover, a nincom-
hoop, and dares not blow his nose without asking
oerEasslon OF certain men who have made 'hena-
elves his keepers. 1t Is not to be supposed that
mere tool of others will be kept responsible Of
ice like the cole ctoIship by aAy other than Ty-
-r administration. He may get an inspectorship.
or night watch, and that is much as his quail
lcations ever entitle him to.
Robinson, the present warden of the State Phi
son, would stand good chance tor the ,tice in
question, were Gov. Morton out OF the way. But
.s matters stand, he is ready am lold, 10 with
iraw IN favor Of the Governor, betw whom
ad himself the best relations subsisi. Though
lrm democrat, and bold advocate If lccofoco
Doctrines, the wings have tried LII vain 70 procure
RoblnsCn's removal from the prison The whig
isuncil OF Gov. Briggs have twice b-seg. d him
With applications to remove Robinson but Briggs
aho don't altogether relish the dongs OF the Boston
coons. at last haily told them that he would not
fruove the warden, and they need not ask him
lch question again THIS course was highly
onorable to Briggs, for Robinson is most Efficient
I'D humane officer, and is dong more to reclaim

IL Is possible that his success In the prison may
