The Next Congress.
The PeRnsyivan,0H and Boston Atlas comment
on our recent exhibit Of the probable strength Of
parties respectively in the next Congress the
former considering that exhibit too favorable 70
the wbg, the latter regarding 1t as couceding
too much against them. The Atlas thinks we
were wrong in chasing Messrs. Mann, Of Mass.
and Wilson and Tuck, Of y. II as Free Soil
Wings, as 1t is confident Of their voting with the
Wings throughout while it does not agree tbst
Mr.. Pslfrey will be chosen 70 complete the Mas
sachosetts delegation. On all these points
adhere 70 our former position. Messrs. Mann and
Tuck are prominently for Free Soil, though they
prefer Wing 70 Loco FocO ascendaDcy and will 50
vote whenever that choice is presented. Gen
Wilson is primarily Wing, but elected under
crc1ms,ances which nnpel him to make Free
Soil his polar star We believe this IS the fact
likewise with regard 10 Messrs. Howe Of Penn
sylyania aud sprague Of Michigan Messn Gid
dings and Root Of Ohio 1reTe Wings they are
now Free Soilers with what lat ent tendencies

named would ultim ately vote to reflect Mr.. Win

down 10 him or Loco oco, except Messrs. Pal.

badly vote first and thenceiorwsrd for Mr.. Win
throp We think, therefore, that our table Is more
instructive than that Of the Atlas, which fellows

Members elect between the two great parties

puts in the Wing column Mr.. Charles Darkee Of

Mr. Holmes is a scion OF the old Federal ArIs

preaching Democracy, he has open and pro-

The sum and substance of the whole matter is
that the House is rendered dubious by the extra
ordinary results of the Connecticut aud Virginia
Elections and that one or two more such would
demolish the Wing majority and perhaps give an
adverse Speaker Tha, is the truth, aud the PEN,

We apprehend that the result Of this triangular
contest will be similar to that for President ast
year. when Indiana voted

This ought TO be averted, and might be. Mr.
Crsvens was formerly good Wing Mr. Matson,
We are confident, is stsnch for Free Soil. There
ought to be some sort OF understanding that would
save the State from the rule of the Cass minority
