 United States Senate.--It is obvious to eve ry one, who is acquainted. even in slight de- gree. with the Constitution of his country, that the Senate was designed to be most important branch ot the Government. The nature of its construction shows that It was to represent States. In each ofthe other branch es, the people of the several States cause theIr power to be felt more or less according to their respective numbers. Thus New York is more powerful in the House of Representa- lives, and more powerful. also. in the choice of President, than her sister States Of New Jersey and Connecticut. But those States are here equals on the floor of the Senate.

 This is the great Union feature of the Con- stitution; and its preservation is important. in the highest degree. to the just security and the proper power of the several States. $.

 To call the Senate an aristocratic bOdy is senseless, unless State power itself be aristO- cratic and to raise cry for State Rights, aud at the same time decry the Senate, Is an absurdity intO which men can fall only thro' the influence of passion and party: It must @be evident, to every man of sense and candor. that the Senate was designed to be, and that tt is. the great constitutional barrier agalast consolidation. No law can pass without the consent of majority of the States. as repre- scented in the Senate, as well as that Ofa ma iority Of the people, represented in the other branch of the Legislature.

 There may be. indeed there are, among the public men Of the country, those who regard the constitution of the Senate as not being sufficient guard of State rights. They look. therefore, to other, and extraneous sources of safety. But they admit that soithin the Con- stitwiion, in its frame and organization, the peculiar construction of the Senate is, by far. the greatest actually existing security for State Rights. The oppression of a minority. by majority, is one of the possible evils of popu-r lar government; and to guard against the hap pening of such evil so far as is practicable con. sistenily with the necessary power and efi- ciency of government, our Constitution. by its mode of creating the Senate, has required the consent of majority cf StGtes, by their Rep. resentatives, in one House, to all laws. as we'll as the consent of q majority cf the achole peO- pie cfay hhe States. by their Representatives, In the other.

 This plain statement of we'll known provi- sions ofthe Constitution, suffices tO show, that whoever would derOgate from the just power of the Senate. would derOgate from the just power of the States; that whoever would bring the Senate into Gisrepute, would bring into disrepute the main JederGtive principle Of the Constitution. and that whoever would cry down or overthrow the Senate, would pros- trate the principal barrier against consolida. tion.-Boston Atlas. ..
