THE sr,NDJNG COMMITTEES OF THE sen iTE.
F,sm II. C,nciraa Iagsrsr Postmaster Fsans paPerl
We publish elsewhere the Sanding Committees OF
tie new Senate which convened or Washington on
the Attn OF March. Fer some years the Nor;tero and
Western Democrats have bad cause 10 complain o.
the arrangement OF these Committees. More than
Gree SensOrs from those States have gwen e1Dresson
10 their classification 10 strOrg terms We hal
boped that some attention wOald be paid 10
these complaints IN the new arrangement, buL
truth compel to say that 1t is not IN all respects
acceptable 10 the Nort1eru and western psh'cracy'
Not q single craftsmanship Of an Important Committee
is given To any Senator who represents tue great
North-West, which polls "a many votes as the 6lo!5
fifteen Southern States. The Northwest ia ably rep
resented on the Democratic side. IL would seem no
more thss fair that & due regard should be psid 10
locality by selecting some OF these gentlemen as
eharmen Of tho important Committees. II the Demo
cratic Senatorial strength from the Free states ls
small, il should be remembered that IL represents
numerical body Of men by far greaer thsn that iron
the South. The staunch Democracy Of most Of the
Northern Democratic Senator'S Will not be disputed
They are 6s true 10 al the constitutional gifts OF
the South as any members from the South and seldom
err on political questions. Combating az they do
strong sectional sentiment st home, and placing their
political reputation and fortunes at hazard they should
be streng by being assigned prominent places
in the organization OF the Senate. We would Ike 70
have, for instance, the Chairmsnshp of the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations assigned TO r Senator
representing the progressive and glorious West
whose patriotism and foresight on all SUP;
1ectb reIatlnS 10 our foreign 1tlhu'Hs ~ ~ wen
known and appreciated. Mr.. Mason, of Virginia
bolds that position, is fogysh' in mis-
ideas, and sngulsry, in our Judgment unsuited for
the place. AT the last session he opposed 20 the
Cuba Thirty Million bill, which desired by large
majority of the Senate snd introduced weak sabst
tute for Mr.. Side measure, that not acceptable
either TO the SeEate or the country. Aside from the
mprOprop,iety Of one State monopolz pg the two
most important Senatorial Committees, which are no
given to Virginia, considerations of national policy
demand the change. We want g more vigorous and
bold head Of the Foreign Relations than Mr.. Mason
We hope that at the session this Senatorial pro-
grsmme will be changed, and that the North-weslern
Democrats viii take the lead in two three of the
important committees.

The report Of the House Select Committee upon
the Bill to spportion the Clerks and Messengers
"in the several Departments Of the Government
" in the City of Washington" has had safe delivery
from its protracted labor ia the national printing
hospital. perusal of it's thirty-two pages has
profoundly impressed US with the importance of the
District of Coumbia-to gentlemen who have
chosen the light but somewhat precarious employ
ment Of filing public Offices; it also has furnished
us with corrective of the proyerbial fallacy, that
distance lends enchantment to the view. 1t is
proximity to Federal employment which makes the
view Of clerkship bewitching, aud disgusts with
regular labor so considerable portion of the male
population of Virginia, Maryland, Delaware aud
Pennsylvania.
The number OF clerks and messengers employed
in the Executive Department at Washington, who
reside in the District Of Columbia, is 425. The
number so employed who are citizens of the great
State of Illinois is 2l-of the greater State Of
New-York is -.
On the 4th of March, 1853, the total number Of
Government employees in the Departments was
1920. A table prepared from the Report before
us will show how inequitably this patronage is dis
tributed among the several States and Territories:
