WtH SUMMER S.<ceed?
Notwithstanding the coalition met with its
greatest defeat on Wednesday, on the fourteenth
ballotinR tor Senator. no reason 10 change the
opinion expressed in my last TO the effect that its
prospects are improving. The pressure from
without" is growing every day in strength, and
men who have hitherto been warmly opposed to
the election Of any free soiler, are expressing
their eadiness TO sustain even the choice Of Mr..
Sumner, rather than see the coalition broken up
and the wings return TO power This feeling may
not lead To Mr.. Summers election, but should the
free golfers have the sense TO substitute some other
| man for him, he would be elected without mach
difficulty Mr. Walker, now Secretary OF State,
nas already been spoken OF as a candidate upon
| whom all the opposition members would unite. He
is tree trade democrat, though he has acted with
the free soiiers tor some years past On all the
| prominent measures OF the day. excepting such as
might relate directly to slavery, he would be found
# elected 10 the Senate, voting with the democratic
| lauy.
| An attempt has been made by some members Of
the ward and county committee of Boston city, and
suffolk county, send the democrats IN the Legis-
| iature, who have voted for Mr. Sumner out Of the
party Resolutions TO that effect were brought for
| ward a few evenings since, and after some discus
sion, were laid the table by vote OF almost two
| toone. This movement has caused about az much
laughter as Indignation Compared TO what II " as
