THE NEXT HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVE
The federel party have boldly claimed
majority in the next House of Representatives,
and have been busily occupied in designating
Speaker from their own ranks for the chair.
But the facts is, the battle is not yet lost or
won. There are several States yet to vote,
and some vacancies in those which have had
their elections, vet to fill and if these should
elect the two parties in the same proportion in
which they were represented in the last Con-
gress, we shall still have a majority of ten in
the House. We cannot expect, however, to
see the same seats filled exactly by the same
parties. We may lose some, and we may
gain some. 1t depends upon the energies Of
our political friends whether they will succeed
in the debatable districts, and whether they
will lose or carry the next House of Represen-
tatives. We can scarcely conceive strong
er inducement to operate upon the democrats
than at the present time, when all their great
measures are at issue-when an administration
whom they have elected has faithfully carried
out their princip es-when under its auspices
the country is attaining an unexampled degree
of prosperity-and when we are engaged in Il
foreign war; with which the rights and honor
of the country are Intimately connected.
In addition to the majority of ten, which we
are nowentitled to possess, we may claim an
other seat from Virginia, which we have ev-
cry probability of carrying. This rests upon
the following grounds, Us stated in the Lynch
| burg Republican:
Third Congressional Dist1fct-All our in
formation from this district induces Us to be-
lieve that Mir. Tredway is elected, though Mr.
F]ournoy has the return by majority of one
vote It is the unanimous wish of the democ-
racy Of the district that Mr.. Tredway should
contest the election of Mr.. F., as it can scarce
be doubted that he is legally and justly emit
tied to the seat. 1t is a burning shame that sc
strong democratic district should be misre
presented by man who entertains no poll
teal principles in common with the large
majority of his con- tituency. 1t is for the de
mocracy of the district to say whether or no
they will thus suffer themselves to be misre
presented in the next Congress. They hav'
the power, and have given their late faithful
and efficient representative 1--WE have good rea

ANOTHER LETTER FROM GENERAL

= =
The TOY Daily Post, of Tuesday las, pub
fishes letter from Gen. Taylor, addressed to
a citizen of Lansinburgb. n. 7. The letter
has reference to the Presidency. Like thelet-
ter to the Cincinnati Signal, it distinctly a.
vows determination TO be the candidate OF
no party or clique--and in other respects IS
almost identical with that letter. Il seems 70
clear up all doubts as 10 the genuineness OF

DEAR SiRs--I. is with much pleasure that
acknowledge the receipt of your most inter-
esting letter of the 1st instant, and to which |
desire to reply in terms more expressiveof my
thanks to you for your kind consideration for
myself, and yet more so of my high apprecia-
ton of the upright and patriotic sentiments
which are the principal tenor OF your letter
but am burdened with official duties, and at
this moment, with many letters from distant
sources, which require attention, and viii me-
.cessarily obllge me to reply to you IN = few
| lines
The Presidentia1ofi presents no induce
ments to me to seek its honors or responsible
ties the tranquility of private life, on the
contrary, is the great object OF my aspirations
on the conclusion of the war-but am moi
tinsensible to the persuasions that my services
are vet due to the country, as the country
shall see fit to command them ); il still as Q
soldier, T am satisfied, if in higher and more
Irresponsible duties, desire not to oppose the
manifest wish of the people-but Will moi
be the candidate of any party or clique, and
should the Nation at large seek to place me
in the chair of Chief Magistracy, the good o.
all parties and National good would be my
great and absorbing aim.
Sentiments such as these, have been the
burden of my replies TO all who have address
sed me on this subject, expressing the assn
rance that by the spontaneous and unanimous
voice of the people alone, and from no agency
of my own, canl be withdrawn from the cher
ished hopes of private retirement and tranquil
ity when peace shall return.
Please accept, with this my brief reply, thu
warm appreciation and high consideration of
Yours, most sincerely,

4 Soldier from the u arS.-We met by &C
cidcnt, a few days ago, wounded soldier
from the fearful field of Buena Vista. He
walked with difficulty and with pan-for his
wound had been as severe as his gallantry had
been daring. Wherever the shots fell thick
est--wherever the blows fell fastest-his
white plume might be seen towering in the ad-
vance. Such man has right to speak of
the friends and the opponents of the war, and
we wish the language of the intrepid hero
could have been heard far and wide He said
that the course OF the federal party in denoun-
cling the administration, and in obstructing the
war, was the main obstacle in the way of a
prompt and an honorable peace He declared
that the speeches of such men as Corwin and
other opposition leaders did more than any,
thing else to encourage the MeXicans, and
that these speeches, aided by the efforts of the
federal press, had completely succeeded in
poisoning the popular mind in Mexico against
this country, or rather against the democratic
party, and that the leaders there looked for
ward to a period, now not far distant, when
a peace would be made that would be perfect
ly satisfactory to them. Herepeated that these
facts were daily operating most powerfully
upon the army, and would not fail eventually
to produce the most important effects upon the
volunteers. Of course it is out Of our power to
give the name of this gallant soldier He
spoke warmly and bitterly of these things, be.
cause he had himself felt some of the practi.
cal effects of their truth-Pensyranian.

All the talk now is of peace, immediate
peace, with the great Mexican nation. Santa
Anna himself. although he will be very far
from starting the ball, will doubtless help to
keep it in motion when it is one under way
His very salvation depends upon it. He
knows that he will be defeated and loose all
if he makes another stand; by making CATS
paws of some OF the members of Congress,
and getting them to look with an eye of favor
upon propositions Tor peace, he thinks that he
may be able TO second their movements if ev-
cry thing looks favorable, and finally himself
reap all the benefits that may grow out of it.
Three days since and hardly man in Gen
Scott's army thought that there was hope OF
coming to terms with the enemy now the
tune has changed, and many OF the officers are
even talking OF the chances of avoiding and
escaping the vomito on their way home
With all the ely of peace, am not one o.
those who think that our affairs with Mexico
are yet settled. A great deal depends upor
circumstances. Yours, G. w. K.

The New HAMPSHIRE ELEcr1oN-We
copy the following from the National Intelli-
gencer of this morning:
CA special election for two representatives
in Congress, from districts which failed to
make choice at the regular election in March
last, took place in the State of New Hamp-
shire or Thursday. The result is stated in
the subjoined correspondence:
"BosroS, July 0, lsa7.
"MEssRs. GALES & SEAToN: l have just come
from the first congressional district in N. Hsmp-
shire, where the wings and their allies have just
elected Amos Tuck by 1000 majority and
have just learned from our oblgng and enterpri-
sing friends of the Boston Atlas, that we have
probably elected Gen'l Wilson in the third district.
His gain in eight towns in Hillsboroush is 1000
votes. His own county (Chcshire) will certain
ly do better than last spring so that look upo,l
his election as certain. Is not this glory enough
for one day! The estimate of the Union put
them both down as sure for tie democrats. For
the first time for eighteen years, the wings
of New Hampshire have a voice in the
House of Representatives and now the represent
tation of the State in both the House and Senate
is equally divided. Yours, &C."
