The NEXT CoSGREss.-There is certainly
reasonable prospect that the wings will have
majority in the next Congress. There have been
already elected SO wings and 20 Locofocos; and
according to the very latest calculations of the de-
mocracy, the States yet to elect will make choice
of 27 Wings and AZ Locos. Thus giving the
Wing party majority ola. When this estimate
was made it was thought that New Hampshire
was good for free tIuderS but in this calculation
the friends Of the Administration have been dis
appointed, and we do not see any possible way
they can figure up majority for the Locofocos
unless they claim about all the States, which are
yet to elect members of Congress.

Weeping may endure for 4 night, but JOY CON
eth in the morning-tPsALMsx xxx. 5.
Cheer up, for grief belongs to night,
But morning, with its rosy light,
Should break the cloud of sorowi
If shadowy doubts obscure the day,
Remember they will fee away
The sky may smile tomorrow.
What though the past be thickly strown
With faded fowers-thy path oergrown
With thorns Of woe and sadness!
Yet sigh not always-murmur not
There's promise in thy future lot
That speaks of hope and gladness.
True, life is but vale Of tears,
And hope is often linked with fears,
Yet why be erer weeping?
There's many bright spot on the Garth,
And many JOY of noble birth
The future hath in keeping.
A cloud upon thy brow will throw
New shadows on thy brothers woe,
And make lifes pathway dreary;
A smile, in holy calInness given,
VIII light thy brothers way to Heaven,
And cheer the pilgrim weary.
Cheer up, then, for our guide-star here
VIII soon disclose holier sphere
Where care assails us never;
Man hath hope beyond the tomb,
In Heavens congenial air TO bloom,
That hope shall live forever
