CONGRESSIONAL NOMENCLATURE.
The following notes on the identical or similar sur
names of various Members of the new Congress VIII
obviate many needless perplexties and prove quite
convenient to those who will keep this article at hand
while reading the debates of the ensuing Session
The ancient and honorable family of Smith will be
unusually well represented in this Congress namely
by l. Truman Smith (Whig Senator) from Connecti-
cut; 9 UiLHam r. Smith, Dem. House, of Alabama;
g. Geut Smith (Abolition-House) of New-York a.
Samuel A. Smith Dem.-IiOuse) of Tennessee D.
UiHiam Smith, Ex-Governor" Extra BIly"-Dem.
House) of Virginia; 6. by George w. Smythe blouse
Dem1 of Texas. We would therefore affectionatey
advise all embryo politicians not 60 of premaurey on
hearing by Telegraph that " Mr.. Smith has made
gaseous speech in favor of Fllibusterng generayor
against that ridiculous mare snes the Authorization of
Cuba, since it is decidedly improbable that Uncle
Truman will have made the former denomination or
Gerrit the latter
OF Taompsons or ThOmsons, there are two in the
scnate-John b. (Whig) of Kentucky and John r.
Dem of Camden and Amboy,) who VIII be noxtrioa-
bly, confounded in the public apprehension unless much
caution is exercised. Such a result would be ex-
tremely unjust to Mr.. Thompson of Ky.
OF Joneses there are l. James c. Jones (Whig=-Sen-
ator) of Iowa; g. Geo. w. Jones (Dem-House) of
Tennessee; a. Roland Jones (Dem-Iiouse) of LOusia-
ma and s. Daniel T. Jones (Dem.-HOuse) Of New
York The last only once protested to be Free
Soiler, wherefore we shall be anxious to note how
much stifiening there is in his backbone.
OF Bells. there are but twO-JoLn Bell (Whig-Sen-
ate) ofTennessee, and Peter H. Bell ouse) of Texas
Peter, we believe used to be Wing in Virginia; but
that does n pay in Texas so he calls himself Demo
crat and will have to appear rather binder bit'erer
partisan than if he had been born So Edrard B1H
(WIig-IIouse) of Ohio may be njurOusly coniounded
with him.
OF aliens there are /. Philip Allen, Dem
Senntor) from Rhode Island; g James Allen Dem
House\ of Illinois; 8. Willis Allen, QDem.-House)
also of Illinois As these are all pretty much alike
they may be rolled into one with the less Injustice
Bilom Allen, of Ohio means to get returned to the
Senate this winter but cannot take the seat If elected,
till Mr. Chase leaves it, which will hardly be five min
utes before the morning of March 4th, 1855
OF Wriglts, there are-l. William Wright Senator
Dem of Camden and Amboy; 2. Headriek B. Wright
| 1Iouse) of Pennsylvania; and 3. Danid b Wright
(House) of Mississippi. In politics, they are all as
wrong as can can be- and the worst of it is that at least
one of them knows better
OF CampbeIls. there are but two this time-both in
the House-l. Ltris d. a. S Whig) of Ohio and
9 BrooGins of Tennessee The latter is a Democrat
but represents about the strongest Wing District in the
State having run in between two Wings by dozen OF
two majority.
OF Houstons we know but two this tme-l. Gen
Sam Dem --Senate) of Tennessee, AMI 2. George $
Dem-IIouse) of Alabama. The inhexible integrity
of the former and the transcendeDt perspcuy OF the
latter were probably deemed sufficient for one Con
gress
There will be two Seuards for the first time, we be
Ieve--1. HiHiam H. Gree Soil Wing of New-York
in tho sonnte; and q James l.. (state Rights Dem.
In the House When you fear that Mr.. Seward
has mndc splurgo In favor Of the division OF California
or against the organization of Nebraska under the con
dtions Of the Missouri Compromise you may bet hgi
