THE WORK BEFORE US.

|, TIE WORK BEFORE US.
H From the statement below, it will be seen
that the elections yet to be held, may if the
proper means be adopted, secure a ma ajorty
to the Wings in the next House of Represen-
tntives. Should Wing Speaker be chosen,
it will give us the control of the Committees,
and then the corrnptions and abuses Of the
administration will be thoroughly ierreted
out. Besides this, there will be an election
of Clerk and of Public Printers. 1t is quite
time that the Globe concern was deprived, of
portion at least, of ito immense patronage.
1t has grown to be so abusive and outrageous
in its attacks, that it ought to be no longer
fed at the public crib If the administration
and its friends admire its language as they
undoubtedly do, let them pay the bills, and
not the United States Treasury.
The first State that chooses Representa-
,ives will probably be MARYLAND. The reg
uar time Of the election is in October, but
the Governor will fix upon some day in July.
Maryland was represented in the last Con.
gress by four Wings and three Tories AT
the Electoral contest in November, the Wings
obtained majorities in the seven Di,tricts,and
if they do their duty, Maryland will present
all unbrokcn line in the next House.
INDIANA has also to choose in August sew
en- members. This State two years since,
elected all Tories, but in November Gen.
fIarrison's majority exceeded ten thousand,
ard Mr.. Hcrod, Whig, was elected in jan
uary TO supply syacancy. It is reasonable
to calculate therefore, upon an entire Wing
delegation from this State.
Il NQRTn CAROLINA chooses thirteen mem
bers. In the last Congress it stood seven
Wings to six Tories. We hope the former
will find time to go and vote, which they for.
got last autumn.
| KSNTUCKY also chooses thirteen members.
Tha, patriotic State always does well, and
we hope the Wings in addition to the nine
members which they sent to the last House,
will elect two or three more.
/ MISSISSIPPI and ALABAMA, the former hav-
ing two and the latter FIVE members, consid-
ering that both States have been made bank
rupt by the Experiment, it is presumed will
change their delegation for the better.
TENNEssEE is entitled to thirteen mem
bers. There were nine or ten Wings i'm the
last House, and we trust that among the To-
ries, Mr.. ex.Speaker Polk may be consigned
to his political death.
M,cHieAs. Nothing is expected from her,
and we shall therefore not be disappointed.
MAINE. There is one vacancy to be filed.
As the lumber trade is "done up" for the pre-.
sent, perhaps, the voters in the Washington
District may prefer the Wing candidate, Mr..
Hobbs.
| PENNSYLVANIA. In this State there is a
vacancy in the Sd District. At the last cleo
tion the Tory candidate succeeded by only
"a majority, and we suppose that a Whig
will succeed him.
\ RHODE ISLAND. 1t is well known that two
members are to he chosen here, and that tile
Wings, if they please, can elect their candi-
! dates.
Il Here then are 63 members in all, yet to
be chosen. phe nominal Van Buren majori'
ty in the last House did not exceed %. The
work is before us, and if every voter in each
of these States, will 60 to the Polls,'he Wings
will have a majority in the House OF Repre-
sentu,ives.-[Pror Jour:
