Ire attempt 90 Elect an C~tted States Senator
Trouble among the Politicians, &C.
Things are grow pg more and more stormy than
ever, and the political horizon is burning black
as night for the "coalinon.'' Mr. Summers eighth,
nth and tenth defeats have made its mem despe
rate, and they have very large charity for the
respectable Mr.. Guido Faux, and the rest of those
amiable and eccentric gentlemen who undertook
10 send their enemies toward the heavens, in order
that they might the surely be consigned TO the
other place. Like the worthy Guido, they are in
love with " treason and stratagems," because they
will apparently lead 10 the "spolls " The anger
OF The defeated party IS IN proportion 70 their dis
appointment. They expected to elect Mr.. Sumner
on Thursday EserthIng that they could do was
done for that purpose and with considerable skill.
The election OF Mr.. Sumner to the Senate was
intended to operate in the House. Report says
that an eminent official, who thinks 10 interest
Congress with his eioquence, was the instrument
tor doing little business in the snbing line of
peals were made TO the democratic Z" boilers" not
break up the alliance, and they were pointed to
the elecca OF three wings TO Congress on the 10th,
proof OF what would follow from a quarrel
These and orher acts were not without some effect,
for Mr.. Sumner came nearer an election on Thurs
day than he ever old before, and quite as near, the
Old line democrats say, he ever will come ag ain
though N ms they may possibly lind themselves
Inlste ken. Bst the gam of vote ar two was outa
poor rewsrd tor SO much hard labor. One vote
has done much in Massachusetts before now, but
i hes Lost as charm, II would seem, and lie gan
for Mr. Sumner Old not conver RI defeat into victory.
| see by the remarks that some papers are ma
lang affairs here, that the fact that two thirds
OF the democratic members OF the House, and all
but one in the Senate have voted for Mr.. SUMNER
has led the inf renee that the whole democratic
parry of Massachusetts had become abohtonized.
No CONCLUSION could be more erroneous The
twenty-five or thirty men who. from among the
democratic members OF the House, voted against
MIR. SUmner the real representatives OF the old
democratic party, as our next state election wall
show and the reason why so many democrats in
The Legislature have voted fer Mr.. Sumner II
this that they believe that II he Is not elected 10
the Senate The wings will return power next tall,
r,ad apon reflect Mr. Winthrop think they
terribly rniss. ken "a sunnosiI. that MIR. Summers
election save the " coalition from defeat next
fall Il IS hopelessly doomed, sentenced to death,
with 10 power 10 grant II even repreve. Such
being the case, the voting for MIR. sumner becomes
a proof rather of 0Dstlnacy than OF conslsteacy-
The thing being the very essence Of inconsistency
frorn the start.
Sou- account OF the leaders Of the two sections
Of the democratic party may not be useless, an
preytnt PEOPLE from confounding the guilty with
the nnocent The principal sumner democrats
are Mr.. Banks (sPeaker OF the House, Mr.. bran-
ming, snd Mr. GnSwold, OF the Senate. Mr., banks
