worth having Gen. Armstrong will not stand
alone in that opinion. We are in expectation
ofthe establishment, in Washington, Of two OF
three democratic organs before the meeting Of
Congress; and there will be from the South a
large force Of democrats, and from the North not
q few, who will think that the Union has been
sucking long enough and ought to be taken
from the teat, for fear that too much Of the rich
milk Of the Treasury may give it the cholic
Upon the whole. we are very much afraid that
the reelection of Boyd, and Forney. and Arm
strong, are positively uncertain The doctrine
ofrotation, now that the party is SO large that the
spoils won't go round. is getting to be q mighty
powerful doctrine among the democracy; and
The idea that the new administration ought to
commence work in the House with new set Of
officers, will have considerable force in the re-
organization of that body.
1t will be best for the administration to have
nothing to do with this business. An administra-
ton candidate for Speaker, or Clerk. or Printer
may result in trouble to the administration.
The elements Of mutiny are plentiful among
the Cass and Dickinson and Cobb and Foote
democracy Of the North and the South. There
will most likely be some trouble in organizing
the House. Let Gen Pierce and his cabinet
stand cautiously aloof till it is over. Let them
see where the danger lies before they attempt
to control the machinery.
In the Senate, we presume everything will
go on smoothly for some time. After the high
compliment received at the last session by Mr..
Dickens the tried and reliable secretary OF that
body. We suppose he will be returned withouta
show Of opposition. There will be no party
troubles and rivalrics to adjust in the organi-

tons already organized, and wait the develope
ments Of the House. In both houses we
suspect the wings will hold back, leaving
oil questions between Congress and the Execu-
tive to be settled among the democrats, and
only putting in as body where they may strike
to come purpose. This is 80 manifestly their
policy that we have but little doubt they will
adopt it.
And mark you, the mutual jealousies among
the democratic cliques, the disappointments Of
some, the aspiration Of others, and the general
distrust among all, in regard to the President,
the cabinet the spoils, and the succession, to
say never word Of those great radical mea-
Sures which will have to be discussed-mark

do not SO cripple your heavy majorities in Con-
gress as to render them worse than useless to
the administration, to the party, and to the
country. The meeting Of Congress will solve
the question. The democracy may be required
to mount a new platform. The old one is get
ting q little shaky. And let every democratic
member of the House be sure to be in WASH
