Qua NExr LEGISLATURE AND the ELEcnON OF
U. S. SExAToH.-It is almost as dangerous often,
for a party to be overwhelmingly triumphant. as
it is to be of doubtful ascendcncy in a State.
Where the masses arc, there the politicians,
snolstnen, like the vultnrcs will be gathered to-
esther 4 remarkable instance, nationally con-
sidercd. was seen in the election Of Genera
Pierce in 1852, who came ont Of power with
minority party. instead orthe vast majority

own State the breach is daily widening, noni-
nally upon the course of Gov. Walker, but really
upon a mere personal contest, rig: the success
sion 10 The L. S Senatorship. Gov. Wise, who
on account Of his riding over the Know Moth
ings in the spring Of 1851, in a day came 10 be
the head and leader in this State, has with his
accustomed sLTe,ydness, seized hollupO a float

with which he proposes to divide the body

nothing with the Governor, and he knew it,

triumphant party had no charms for his restless
soul Higher, was his maxim ever since the days
Of his tilt aud joust with Old Hickory. Pryor,

the Governor was cutting and shutting his cards,
aud he cut loose from the Enquirer and set up
ON his own and Senator Hunters account So
that We now have the spectacle of the great
party and power Of this State diyided-cach d.
vision inarshaling under the two leaders, Wise
and Hunter, doing all they can before the next
session of the legislature, 10 promote the chances
Of their EavoritcS. Between Wise and Hunter,
the difference practically just the difference
between twcctIcdec and twcedledum-no more.
Once elected, either of them would vote the
same way, however different they might talk
Gov. Wise would perhaps make moro Of a3Stir
