Frps Ae BosIsa Poa. The Next Congress and tho Nexf PyeSIasnfY.

As citizens, having the honor and wclfafe eT the country at heart might regret the circumstances | which place the government, in time of war even
 partially n the hands of the federal party; oF The
 result, II not quite caamniiy. will ai sast aHeAnl I to some sacnfce of national interests and honor | Bot pertisans, do not asneni this tsmperarr
 whig ascendancy fot regard t as an oec ufFence
 cefiain to insure the democracy of the ihe Union the election Of democratic President in lS4s The same immediate and overwhelming condemnation,
 which has heretofore uniformly oyertaken every Al. tempt ot federalism to assume the direction cf tionasairs awaits already any aibitfsfy legislation with which the whigs of ihe next Congress may seek to amend oi embarrass the policy of demo- cratic administration.
 The division of official power and responsibility will at once briag the conflicting measures Ot the great political parties prominently before the eoui,- try We imagine that the opositon will soon enough discover that it is one thing 10 assaiT at dom the measures of the President, aud another to mark out and pursue consistent and popular policy itself. Whatever the action ol the whig party may be- it yet remains for its oraclcs to decide It mu now sanction or eondemh the war, 1t must vote ap- pfopfiaiions for its prosecution, withhold them and prevent it--i or the sake ol the country, we desire b the whIg majority of the House assent 10 the vigorous conduct ol the war; but if it should persist; ih the saae system of nad aud comfort 10 the enemy'' Hhlch rendered the late minority notor- ions, we shall then rely with perfect confidence upon the intelligence of the people io discern pheye pat- fiotic motive exists. and sehere the of laT- iy schcmes"i is considered paramount 10 the peace and the welfare and glory of the country.
 We know well thai the genuine, deepTooied sen- timent of the people is almost aachaDgeably demo- cfaiic that 1t will again endure the influences of that restrictive and backward legislation which the opposition is already prepared 10 iorce upon Il.
 This democrafic feeling needs only to be alarmed,
 in order 10 sustain and slneicate iise and ii is in this respect that regard the reGctioa 10 which lave alluded iostuHate and timely occurrence. At least, nothing can be Hdoar. The tukote system of democratic measures is destined c receive fair and favorable trial, which will place them triumph anly beyond the reach of political opposition =
 There have been those who have systematic ally de- precated the services oi the twenty ninth Congress Tfue its majority did sometimes hesitate, and be- come divided; upon the whole, no Congress since the adoption of the constitution has originated and enforced so many great national measures, each dis t,nct and important in itse but all recognizing the ! same PRINCIPLE, and having for their object the same scheme ot NATIONAL ADV ANcEMEST. Itsleg- islation forms an era in AmericaH government and. no matter how bgo'ed the character o its success or we predict that il will not have ta hardihood to raise the question oi repeal.
 Me shall await, however, the action of the new Congress with considerable interest IL it should be characterized by beral, fata,icai and treas onabe hostility 10 Executive measuTes-if the whig leaders should resolve m every way 10 tbwari and emhauass the action of the President--he mag ap- peai eh sateiy 10 Hs Uerdiet ef Me country. IT, on the other hand, we hope portion of tne whigs yield moderate though reluctant support to the war then the administration will stand sustained by ifs enemies. and it's policy, ia e past, will need no further vndicaion al the hands o ils friends. Dl he nerl Congress trh(9, THE NEXT PRssiDsST WILL BE DEMOCRATIC.
