POSITION OP PA,RTIES IN THE U. S. SEN.
ATE.—Since the " balance of power party"
has sprung, up in the Senate, it is curious to
know the position of the various parties
which represented - in our next Sen
ate. Of six members yet to, he elected, two !
from Alabama and Texas will-probably be
Administration men; four from Gcurga,
Tennessee and lowa doubtful. There are
twenty-one Whigs elected already, Calhoun !
men fix, Democrats (including A labaina and
Texas) twenty-eight; doubtful, four.
Tdi obtitin a clear majority in the next
Senate, the Administration must secure the
Senators to be elected from Alabama and
Texas, and two of the four to be chosen in
Tennessee, Georgia and lowa. Possibly
two Deinoerats may he added from Wiscon
sin. The probabilities 110%P are (if Dixon
11. Lewis, Whose term expires on the 3d of
Mareli next, is re-elected, -or some other
Calhoun man is Chosen in his place in Ala

balance in the nest Senate us they do at
