The Recc~t Electio~-Hs Effect on the Whig
Parts-JTho is to be United States Senator.
The democrats are still lost in wonder at the

aiter ie4o; The old, hoary headed federallsts,
VIC nave been entombed tor forty Years, are
coming out OF their holes and caves, shaking their
venerable names and wondering how II was done,
and whether II can be done over again.. They

as though temperance socletles never engaged
their affections, nor sons OF temperance fObbed

wing converts TO Prince Johns party are dis
covering suddenly that the old party need their

OF November with Taylor ticket In one hand,
and the recent manifesto OF Philosopher Greeley in
the other, as an apology to conscience tor taking
the backward track. Prince John must come
along soon, or his respectable dad wont raise a
corporal's guard IN these digelns, where, one
month ago, the soil was ripe and free tor Won
deriul harvest. There is fun brewing already
among the successful wings. The smoke OF the
10th Of October battle is not dlspelled, before
pistols and coffee tor dozen are likely TO
drown their paons of victory in dlsunion and
defeat, IN 1851. The bone of contention is,
who shall be United States Senator? There
Is wing majority OF nine on JOINT ballot, and
Simon Cameren's term, as Senator, expiring,
his place must be filled by somebody. Apropos OF
neutrality-suspicious. say that he Is shelved at
last, but scarcely believe 1t. A man who, could
exempty in his own person the tricks and quick
turns of the youths game OF Simon says up,
Simon says down, wlgge waegle," and go
through the motions so successfully, Is not to be
laid out so easy. His plots and counterplots with
the Skunk dynasty (tiat toos) and with the Porter
influence (klckapoos,) IN all OF which he held his
own will form, in such an event, an important
page the secret history OF Pennsylvania politics.
The lower house is tie, ana, according to de-
mocrauc (and wing usuage, too, when they have
the chance), II might be expected that the demo-
cratic members would defeat any motion to go
into an election, and, by stavlng II OIL until ano-
Their Legislature, give them fresh chance. But,
unfortunately Tor this nice game, former Legls-
lature fixed their flint for them by a law, settling
day and hour for the meeting in JOINT ballot to
choose Senator. So that all the wing Senate
have to do, when the day arrives, is to notify the
hats, suit the action to the word, by marching IN
body from their own chamber into the hall of the
House OF Representatives. When there, the s1b-
lect cannot be adjourned, except by majority OF
all present.
Among the aspirants for the Senatorship, are
the Hen. James Cooper, OF Adams county; Thad-
deus Stevens, Just elected TO Congress from Ian
caster; Thomas Mckennan, OF Washington; An
drew Stewart, OF Fayette; Josiah Randall, OF Phi
ladelphla; Alexander Ramsay, OF Dauphln, and
lots of smaller fry-l prophecy the election OF
Cooper; but II the trouble brewing in the wing
ranks comes to head, as seems likely, there will
be fight Tor the prlZe-a hight laying the founda-
ton Of feud which will rend the whig party in
this State in twain, and ensurng the defeat OF their

their ascendancy this State; but 1t 10 not In their
nature, success spolls them This United
States Senatorshlp is the rock upon which they
will split The nomination OF johnson ter CO.
vernon was made unanimous In the last State
Convention by the magnanimous course OF Cooper,
&c, whom the nomination was conceded; but
who declined, and induced his friends to go
in cordially Tor Johnson The understanding
at the convention was, that Mr.. Cooper should
be considered the candidate OF the party tor
United States, Senator, IN case OF obtaining the
majority in the Legislature. number OF the
wing papers, before the election, took open ground
for him and the State organ OF the party here,
the Pennsylvania Telegraph, proclaimed the elee-
ton, or not, of James Cooper to the Senatorshlp,
as one of the issues of the campaign. II is also
alleged that Governor johnson, before Mr.. Cooper
declined, positively pledged himself " not to be in
Mr.. Cooper's way for the Senatorshlp whether
he was elected Governor or not. With these
pledges and this common understanding, all the
elements looked tremendously, and resulted IN
the recent triumph.
Some of the old facuonlsts, who retain rank
ling amnesty against Mr.. Cooper, dating back to
the irwin campaign, when General Irwin obtained
the nomination for Governor over hlm-a few OF
these are laborIng for their own ends to prejudice
Governor Johnston against Mr.. Cooper. BE 1t as
il may, Governor Johnston, although said to be
Jealous of Mr. Cooper's position In the whlg party,
would not commit himself by opposing the wishes
OF Mr.. C.'s friends for such course would be
certain destruction to HIM hereafter, to even suffer-
let alone participate In, any attempt to defeat Mr.
Cooper. 1t would create feud that years would
hardly suffice to heal. Unexpectedly, the opposi-
ton to Mr. G. is aided by movement OF the Hon
Thaddeus Stevens. whose recent election to Con-
gress from Lanca county, by 4, 100 majority,
has persuaded him into the belief that the Buck
shot war, Gettysburg Railroad, United States
Bank of Pennsylvania, antl-masonlc lnqulstlon,
Big Brick, and few other souvenirs OF the same
sort of his craftsmanship, are fam forgotten, and
that the time has again come when the wings OF
PENNSYLVANIA will submit to his leading strings
Indeed, the democrats would have everything to
hope for from his improvidence as statesman,
and his rule and ruin policy of elden time But
think rhaddeus can't come to tea this time.
l have already spun out this political yarn to
some length, and beg leave to continue the sub
ject at another date. SUsQUEHANNA.
