The freemen of this State will again be
called on to make choice of their rulers and
legislators for another year. In addition to
the officers to be elected directly BY the peo-
pie, the choice Of a United States Senator, to
serve out the two years CT Mr. Upham's unfin-
ishcd term, is depending on the results Of tha.
day. The wings have clear majority in the
State, as the last Presidential vote has estab-
lished They have always had majority in
the Legislature. This power can only pass
from Us by gross neglect and acknowledgements,
or by wanton treacherv.
The party as such. has done nothing to
change It's former good standing with the peo-
pie. Under whig auspices, our State has be-

grouse for the jealous warfare they are now
waging to secure the supremacy our
administration has been ''extravagant" Look

that our population is diminishing under whg

lie county of Washington gave handsome
majority in its favor; the strongly democrat
ic county of LamolIe gave small major
ity against it. Industrious efforts will be
made in some quarters to divide the viii Is by
an artful use of this question. We warn all
to be on their guard against the unprncipled
tricks of those who, protesting all things 10
