THITY-FIRST CONGRESS.

The N. Y. Journal of Commerce says
Including the members from Connecticut and
New Hampshire, there have been elected to the
new Congress So Wings and 81 Democrats. If
the remaining S5 members should be politically
the same as before there would be Wing mai
ority in the House OF IL. In the Senate there
will be democratic majority OF s to 10.
This paragraph is circulating all over the coun-
try-papers of all parties taxing it as truthful
statement. The whole number Of members cho.
EMS l5l, divided as follows: Wings II, Dem
ocrats 81 Free Soil 17-Whg majority g. There
remains to be chosen so members, which in the
last Congress, stood IS Wing, Al Democratic, and
Free Soil. Should those come in the same,
there will be liz Wings, I0l Democrats, Is Free
Soili being majority a. ainst the Wings AS
the elections to take place mostly in the slave
States the Wings may make few gain. They
will doubtless lose two or more members Indiana.
The members chosen by the votes OF the Free
Sellers will, doubtless, hold the balance ofpower
in the next House of Representative.
