The Patriot says:--
'If the votes given for Speaker Of The House-for
Clstks-and for Senator's. TO supply the vacancies in
Districts No. and TO- afford Test of the strength of
parties in the House, the republican mao ity is larger
than the estimates we have heretofore made. The
vote for Speaker shows republican majority o. 40 votes
Although this is evidently exaggeraton OF the true
democratic strength, yet we believe that majority
not fall short of about 40 The growing popu.
larity OF the national administrations NAV be inferred
from the fact that, nfe the election in March, there
has been an accession Of the democratic majority Of 10
