Congress—The Ti yeThe Nex: whe Whig Party. In the Senate this moruing Mr. Evone,irom the Pi. nance Commitiee, reporied the Ariny Appropriation E ae Seaate and Honse have disa- greed, on some of its details. The Commitee re- commend that the Senate insist on all the amend. ments which the Senate had engrafted uponthe bill, and the House had relused te concur in, with the ex- ception of a single one, and also a committee of conlerence. This was accepted by the Senate. The Naturalization Bill introduced by Mr. Wal- ker, proposing to reduce the term of probation irom tive to two years, was called up, but it was laid oa the table by a small inajority. Some morning business was transacted, when the Tariff Bill was taken up. The questa be- ing on the motion to stnke out the distribu. tion feature, Mr. Buchanan took the fluor in Support of the motion. In referring to the veto essage on the liule tariff bill, Mr. Buchanan culled to order by the President. Some con- sation and explanation occurred, when it ap- vared that there was no difference between Mr. Buchanan wad the Chair, and the gentleman pro- cceded with lis speech. He made a very strong argument agaist cistibation, and was followed-on | the other side by Sir. Crittendea, and Mr. Buchanan is how ua the waist of a reply. ‘The expectation is that the bili wil! pass oa ‘Thursday. In that event, Cougress may be ready to adjourn fon the fifteenth instant. ‘The House this morning took up the Contingent Appropriation Bill, and concurred in the action of the committee of the whole and ordered the Lill to be engrossed. There was then a struggle tor priority of business, but eventually the Senate bill for the re-organization of the army was taken, and is under discussion. ‘The great treaty is nearly completed, and the ex- pectation is that it will be communicated to the Se- nate on Wednesday. The debate may be protracted tor several days, perhaps, but there 1s no reason for de- taining the House after the legislative business is ed. ‘The subsisting hostile relations between the Presi- dent and the whig party, and the certuinty that the vigor of feeling is not likely to be relaxed during the Presidential term, render the political complex- ton of the Senate in the next Congress a matter of considerable interest. ‘The decisive coatrol of the Senate which the whigs have enjoyed tince the ac- cession of Mr. Tyter,has enabled them to thwart and embarrass the admini-tration, and never since the organization of the government has the power of a majority been so despotically exercised. Unexce; tionable nominations have been rejected, imperti- nent enquiries addressed to the executive andthe heads of departments, the Executive funcsions inter- tered with—in short, every thing possible has been done, and many impossibiliuies attempted, to annoy the Chief Magistrate and degrade the Presi- dential office. If the whigs maintain the as cendancy in the Senate, these practices will be con- tinued, and as the Presidential canvass proceeds, with additional means and incentives to annoyauce, and under circumstances of aggravated insoience and overbearing intolerance. It is of much import, therefore, to the harmony of the Governwent, and to the peaceful administration of its aflairs, no leas than the welfare of the conntry, that there should be a rise tia majority in the Senate, aiter the present Congress, A litle analysis of the matter, and @ glance at the probabilities, is all that can be_attempted now. The term of seventeen Senators expires on the ath of March next. Of these, ten are democrats, and seven whigs. The democrats are— Williams, of Moine; Wilcox, N.H.; Smith, Conn.; Wright, N.¥.; Buchanan, Penn.; Cuthbert, Geo.} Bagby: Ala; Alien, Ohio; Young, lilinois; Linn, Missouri The political condition of these several States is such that there is no probability of a democratic |vas ineither, | ‘The following are the Whigs who go out :— Crafts, of Vermont ; Kerr, Marylend; Grahum, Preston, 8. C.; Conrad, Lou. ; Crittenden, Kei. ; Svith, Indiana. The Whigs will elect Senators in Vermont and Kentucky; Louisiana doubtiul, but probably Whig. ‘The democrats will mest likely gain in Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, and ludisna. ‘The Senate now consists of thirty Wings and iwenty democrats, and two vacancies In Tennessee, ‘There is a Senator to be chosen in New Jeisey, i the place ot Mr. Southard. The democrats’ wiil probably elect in Tennessee, and perhaps in New Jersey. The Senate, after the 4th of Murch, then, may be fairly estimated to stand as follows :— Democrats Soir eee org eee \ Sg a eens” And New Jersey, North Carolina, and Lousiana, doubtful. Mr. Rives is embraced in the twenty four whigs, but he has no sympathy with them nor any of their ultra measures, and will never oppore a factious resistence to the policy of the administra- ton, Inview of all these things, and taking into consideration the fact that a large majority of the pee have become disgusted with the wretched policy and broken promises of the whigs, and we think it safe to ealeulate upon the eontrol passing from the whigs in che Senate ax well as the House, and alse upoe a ood understanding and a cordial co- operation between the executive and legivlotive branches of thegovernment forthe last two years of Mr. Tyler’s present presidential term. ‘The whigs ere ruined for the present as a party. Under no siate of things could they have maintain d the ascendaney which they had wequired by a fortuitous concurrence of favorable circumstances. They made a fundamental and error in the grand contest of 184, when they promised imme- diate and substantial relief to the people from the action of Congress. It was a blunder—woree, in po- itieal tactics, according to the French statesman, than a crime. Promises of this+ort may'do their work in the canvass, but when the time for fulfil ment arrives, the imposition is exposed;in proportion to the disappointment of the people isthe reaction against the party which practised the cheat.
