Wr believe the I’anama t^uestion ^^as made the point of the prin cipal utti’.ck, only bcrause it was a point on which the discordant materials ol the partv could most easily form their first and i;rand coalition. Here Mr. Han flolph and Mr. Holmes, Mr. Henton and Chandler could aRree. Hete thereloit ihev net and did ai^ree, and il on this measure they had been able to carry a riajnritv with them, it mip^ht have been the suspicious forerunner of further un ion and of similar coalition in other cases —'l iiis, wel)elie\e, was the ground of l\opc and t eliance, and when a steady ma -joritv should be found against the I’resi tieiit, the S. nate would have possesied riTLHtiially the executive power. We be Uevc conscientiously, that ihi intention and tiie nope was to establish a power 'trhich should dictate to tl'.e President and if the attempt had succecded, those Senators w(jiild have substantially rescu ed the power of nomination from the Prisidcnt of those whom they themselve- had not ])ieviously nominated to the Pres- ndeut; in short, to speak our fears plainly there was a purpoie of establishing an Olij^archy wiiich should possess and ex ercise the efiective power of tbe Govern jnent. Thus far this end has not been at tiined ; we trust it will not be, btJt we see no evidcuce of a belter disposition in Convcress. With regard to the opposi ^ion which ha* been orKanized in New Jersey, I will observe that it docs not ap pk-ar to me to be formidable either as to numbers or consec^uence, or that there is anv settled put pose amonj; the larjj;e ma jority of them, except as they are am bitious to receive the smiles and caresses or to avoid the frowns of a few ambitiou men who are behind the scenes making arrangements to break down the Govci went. It appears , however, to be genei ally understood, that the authors of th’ -viol'Mit opposition, « hich has already pro duced much confusion in our State affairs, ave persons whose political sins and y^en-- fral character have excluded then, hei.' tofore, from any participation in j)ublic aff.irs. and that the f^reatcr the change anci V ider the departure from the present state of good order and correct princi- jiles, the j^reater is their chance of beco- inini; important, and of havinj; it in their power to reward those who have betray ed their best friends, and tarnished the jeputation of the State. We have felt it to hr u duty to speak out on this occasion, and to tell the people of New-Jersey whai is honestly thought. That the opposi tion will finally be defeated, wc doubt not. Itf.tids little or nor spnpathy in public s( niiment. But that its tendency is to embarrass the proceedings of Gov ernment, to delay the public business, and to disgrace the nation, are propositions V’hich are diflicult either to disprove or to deny. fnial electiur by r(jngrcss was also con- ilntiorial, and r//V/express the \vishes of be jicople, while the collej-cs did rwt.^ What, then, is the opposition opposed tor answer, /he adminisfrdtion am) /.'re jjvojju'.

It will be perceived that he entered into a general defence of his course, and repelled the most prominent charges which have been brought against him, and which every whipster of an opposition ist has now got by rote.—By the way, we believe that the Adminisiriiiion is every where gaining ground. With us, it cer tainly is : and if the issue is between Ad ams and Jackson, the former musi cer- wtinly triumph. Most of those—and they ure numerous and powerful 1—who were firmly attached to the cause of Crawford ^^hilehe was a candidate, are now the warm and unyielding supporters of the Administration. Mr. Clay recently pass ed through Charleston, on his way to the seat of government, and had his stay af forded an opportunity to our citizens, he would have received the same public manifelations of confidence and regard here, that were shown him at Ltwisburg, Indiana.—It is now known to a cer tainty,that Thomas IL Blake., Esq. has been elected a n^ember to repiesent the 1st district oflndiana in the iOth Congress of the U.

Notwithstanding all the power of the oj)posilionists was arrayed against him, anti very unfair means restored lo, to en sure his defeat—he has sviccerded u> . majority tha' proves how u'»eless were their exertions to try to subvert the will of the people. Mr. Blake is a gentleman of great talent, and an undevia'ing and zealous friend to the interests of his coun try.
