The Opposition rs. Old Hunkerism
The Legislature elect is TO meet here on the first
Wednesday in January. The greatest anxiety
exists among political clquss of all hues, as to
what will be the results as regards the Governor
ship and the United States Senatorshp. The pe-
ral returns Of votes in the State election showing
on apparent reverse OF wing dynasty in the State.
end the reins of power In the hands Of the Goa
lton, or opposition, threw the bunker wings into
a frenzy, and they have been casting about, and
studiously striving to conceive some means, the
application Of which nigh; yet save the wing party
from utter discontinue and defeat in regard 10 the
control Of the State government. To do this, the
whig journals are striving, with all the appliances
al their hands, TO create disaileciion among the
coalition. Democratic members TO the Legusla-
ture elect are importuned, and promised that if
they will but cut the bonds of the coalition they
shail have the United States Senatorship provided
they give their aid to the Instalment Of whig
Governor, and thereby exclude the free soilcrs
from the field altogether. Bdt, generally. the de-
mocTats and their free SOL allies are disposed TO
work ttcether and monopOlize the spoils mutually.

The free soil inroads upon the constitution Of the
United States, may, under these circumstances,
become a little maleable, without danger. Thus
tnele eye to the Senator-this "loOking to the
Senate" is not 30 especially necessary. That body
is now strongly democratic, and it is Massachu-
setts-the Bay State-thst should be sought to be
saved from her apparently growing enlargement
from the Union. BY going to the Senate alone for
xix years, the Bay State democrats make mere
show, and effect nothing at home. But by taking
the other alternative, holding on to the reins at
home, and having look" in the Senate, they
may lay the groundwork for permanent position
OF local power and respectabhty, which would DO
the foundation tor fur her democratic influence,
even ia the national councils; and this is the sole
means through which they may possibly gain such
influence.
There is very little doubt, indeed, that this
course would be taken by the parties forming the
opposition. II s desirable to both of them-to the
regular democrats, for the reasons above men-
toned, and to a large portion of the free sellers,

issue, snd are looking for an emergency which

noeuvre, a very good excuse will be afforded.
