In tho next Y s. House of Representa-
tives the Maryland delegation will be tied
and the TWO parties in the House tshoud
Louisiana and Mississippi BIO represented al
in the last Congress to wit : by u Locofocof
and 9 Whigs,) will bo pretty nearly tied a.
80. A very close, nice calculation will give
the Wigs a majority Of one, believe.
But the Free Soil ImpracticabIes, headed
by Mr.. Joshua II Giddings, of Ohio, will
hold the balance of power, and will be very
early at work to have things their own way,
in the manner of organizing the House.
Who will be the officers, remains TO be seen.
II the Free Soilers choose, they can elect MIR.
Winthrop Speaker, or the nominee OF the Lo-
cofoco members Perhaps they will prefer to
do neither, and stand out in favor OF one Of
their own number. We shall see.
Among the Locoiocos who are to bo candi-
dates for tho Clerkship, have heard .named
General Hiram Wabridgc, Of New York,
and B. B. French and Jas. q. Barri, Es-
quircs, of this ci,y-all smart, capable men.
Jesse T.. Dow, Esq, intends TO run for
Sergeant alarms. llo formerly made pop
ular doorkeeper Of the House.
There will be strong opposition to Mr'
Dickens and Mr.. Bea, the Secretary, and
SeIgean,-at-Arms 10 tho Senate, and that too
by promincn, rival Locoioco candidates.

From THE PLAiNs.-A lady on her way to
Oregon, describes the dangers of tho land
route. She says that " there arc more than
a thousand dead horses, oxen and mules that
VIC have passed. between tho South Pass and
Fort Laramie and about as many wagons
that have been, some broken up, some burned
and some left in good order by the way The
destruction of animals has been mostly in con-
sequence of drinking at the salaratus or akali
poison springs ovel drinking and want of prop
or care. For tho last 300 miles the great part
of tho water is strong alkal, and if our ami
mails drink it to excess when dry, they die
Immediately. Bu, there is sure remedy if

Well, Why are you la Favor or EmaneiPa-

Because:-lst. The free States, younger and
possessing fewer geographical advantages Than
Kentucky, are ouistriping her in all the eie-
ments of greatness; as
In population;
Common Schools and Education generally;
Internal improvements;
Manufactures;
Agricultural; and
Political Influence.
End. The 100000 slaves IN the Common
wealth crowd cut as many whites, who wOulc
be, perhaps, five times a. useful as that number
Of negroes.
3rl. The effects of slavery everywhere have
been hurtful TO the morals and industry Of d
people who have tolerated It.
4ih. Slavery degrades white labor where j
exists.
9Th. Slavery, an evil to the whites, is unjust
TO the slaves.
9th. Many Of the wisest and best statesmen
Of America, themselves Shareholders, have op-
posed the institution as sinful and incompatible,
with a sound policy. This was the doctrine o.
Washington, Jefferson, Monroe, Patrick Henry
and great numbers Of Shareholders Of this day

We never believed that the leaders of either
Of the political parties would succeed in array
Jog against emancipation, for party sake, any
considerable number Of their political brethren.
The people know too we'll how TO estimate the
Importance Of shs question for such result TO

written by gentleman Of worth aud influence

san aud Democrat. will throw some light on
this point:
81 entertain not the least dread Of the final
result Of the contest in this county; for some
Of the most intelligent Of their party give Us
two hundred majority over the strongest Dem
Ocrat in the county, although this county has a
/ Democratic majority of $50 or 200 votes -
/ That will prove conclusively who is stepping
/ forward as a political party. They go the wOrf
/ here, Wigs and Democrats; no difference eat

Prescription.

The following article from the Richmond
Chronicle, is creitable TO the Editor. The pro-
slavery men Will do well 10 heed his words
The narrow'mnded policy, upon which the
Chronicle comments, we regret to see adopted,
not because il will DO any harm TO the emanci-
patton cause, for it will help rather than retard
that cause, but because it will embitter feeling
aud produce painful aud lasting Alterations
II is utterly in vain for the opponents of eman-
ciPslion TO attempt to stop discussion by such
means, or by aay means The discussion must
go on. As well attempt TO stop the course Of
the winds, as toprevent the people of kentucky
from discussing subject Of such vast impor.
lance, and so closely connected with human
progress and happiness. The Emancipaiionists,
ia this discussion, have resorted TO no harsh
means. Arguments, fairly and candidly pre-
scented, have been The only weapons used. We
hope that the anti-emancipationistsw will employ
the same weapons. The discussion then will
be free from bitterness, and will rebound 20 the
welfare of all classes and sections of the State;
"The Misrepresentation and abuse of the
emanciPationists Of this county, by a number of
pro-savery men, is alike discreditabIe to them
selves ami the cause they advocate. If thew
have good argument and truth on their side Of
the question, which holds within lis scoDa in
terests Of such vital importance, why eau they
not afford to deal fairly with their open, candid.
and manly opponents. Why are they calling
Tor Their accounts and refusing to give counten-
ance In their business transac tons 10 men whom
