| Honor 10 rhom honor is dus.--A democratic
meeting has been called in Huntsville for the pur-
Pose Of inviting the lion james X. Polk to
public dinner in September next. A meeting has
also been called at Holly Springs in this State
to take into consideration the propnety Of nomina.
ting Col Polk for tho Vice Presidency
Next CoEGREss. Elections for members of
tho next Congress have been held in all the
States except three, viz; Rhode Island, Mary.
land and Mississippi. The result so far gives
the Administration 100, and the Opposition 10
members in the House Of Representatives, count.
ing oil the nine members from Georgia for tho
Opposition, and FIVE from Now Jersey for the
Administration. Twelve members are TO be
| elected--of these. the Administration will GER
tainly get a, least in Maryland. and most pro-
badly in this State. The parties will then stand
in tho House, for tho Administration, 1876; for
| tho Opposition, IL This calculation is as ln-
yorable as possible for the whg party We have
granted them all that tho most sangume Of that
party pretend TO clam, except the two members
from this State. Set them down as wings, and
still tho majority in the House Is against the OPP
position. In the Senate, oil admit that the Ad.
mnisirotion will have decided majority. So
that no future event can scarcely be more certain
than that the great measure Of tho Admlnistra.

carried at the next session Of Congress, and be
