THE NEXT CONGRESS.

The New York Herald of the 18th, has an
article in reference to the next Congress, from
which we take the following extract:
In the State elections since last spring, the
American party have carried, by majority,
! the States of California, Kentucky and Ma
| ryand; and by pluralites New York and
Massachusetts. On the other hand, the de-
moeracy have carried, by majorities, the States
OF Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Ala
bama, Tennessee, Mississippi, New Jersey
and probably Louisiana; and by plurality,
Pennsylvania and Maine, while the black re-
pubiicans have carried Vermont and Ohio, by
n majority in the first, and plurality in the
last named State. The American party, then,
are in this position: while they cannot afford
to risk the loss of the North, they are bound
to take such a national attitude as will en-
courage their brethren in the South, where,
by some slight additions TO their actual
strength, they may carry half dozen States
which they have lost
What, then, is the true policy of the men,
bers of the American party in Congress! 1t
is to hold conservative position for the or
ganization of the House, without regard to
the special question of the admission of
Whitfield or Reeder. Upon this precise Ter
rtora issue months may be wasted in vain
endeavor to elect Speaker, and in the mean
time the ultras of the two sections may de.
stroy all the elements of a peaceful compro-
mise, in the embittered sectional feelings
which they will have excited. Let the Amer
lean members, then, DESTROYS of controlling
the great battle of IS, unite North and South,
upon some conservative compromise policy
in the very outset, leaving the issue between
Reeder and Whitfield to be settled after the
organization, and they will avoid the rock up
on which Southern and Northern ultras intend
to split them into pieces.
One point is very clear, the balance ofpow-
er in the House is in the hands of the Ameri-
can party. They may, if they choose, cast it
in favor Of the democrats, or on the side Of
the Seward and Wilson abolition league; but
there is medium course, whereby they may
command the support of the more eonserv;-
tive members of the two other parties with
out committing themselves to either extreme.
General Wilson has pleged w. II. Seward
and his allies to break the American party
into ten thousand fragments npon the rock of
slavery. Let the American members of the
House beware of entangling abolition or ad
ministrative alliances at Washington upon
the question of Speaker and Clerk, and they
may lay the groundwork ola national organ
ization for Sc. There are two divisions of
the American party in Congress- Northern
and n Southern wing. Let both wings, in the
first place, unite on some safe middle ground
in the matter of the organization Of the
House, and the first great task in the recon-
structon Of the American party upon cause
and a platform, and common ticket rs broad
as the constitution and the Union, will have
been accomplished.

| WAR PANic.-The Detroit Advertiser, no.
ticing the attempt Of certain papers to get up
panic in regard to war between the Uni
ted States and Great Britain, remarks:
| IL is very easy thing, as well us n very
mischevOus and wicked one, to get up an
unfounded war rumor but certain papers in
this country, as well rs in England, employ
themselves in doing it, with industry which,
for good object, would be commendable.-
England no more wants n war, or any serious
misunderstanding likely to lead to war with
the U. States, than the Queen wants water
in her shoes She is looking to US for coin
with which to carry on her Russian war. She
is buying grain and flour of us to feed her
soldiers, in this very city of Detroit, every day,
and other western cities, and to large figure
in New York. A war with the United States
would cut off the snews of war-money-
and break in fragments the staff of life
bread. A war with the United States would
render valueless the public stocks, govern
ment, state, municipal, corporations, and ALL
millions upon millions of which are held in
England and with them, railroad, municipal,
and all other bonds, which are owned there
TO like extent.
War would reduce the value of the stocks
of the Great Western Railway below the
cost of the spikes which hold the rail seats to
the crossties, and with that, the income of
the Welland canal, the Cornwall, Beauhar-
nois, and all the other Canadian canals of the
St Lawrence War would destroy, for the
time being theCunard line of ocean steamers,
and the boundess tonnage of sail shipping
now engaged in the lucrative carrying trade,
and would paralyze three.fourths Of the mer-
chant marine of Great Britain.
War would shut up the factories of Eng
land, extinguish her furnaces, and send her
working population into the streets, to howl
with hunger, and hold insurrectionary meet
ings, ending in riot, bloodshed, ncendiarism
and anarchy. There could not be made
Ministry in England, strong enough to with
stand the measure of war with the United
States,for its end would be revolution and
change of government.

~ By the Asia we learn that the London
Times has laundering article on American
affairs, snying that "the English government
is emitting no opportunity of reinforcing the
West India squadron, and thus interposing n
powerful barrier between Brittania and the
North American continent" We quote the
most important part o: the article as follows:
"At this moment North America is in pro-
found peace with the whole world: yet in her
ports are fitting out piratica filibustering en-
petitions, destined to carry war and bloodshed
into the dominions of unoffending neghbors.
We cannot believe that those who are now
engaged in enrolling men in these criminal
enterprises, fully contemplate the success of
descent upon Ireland for instance, if proba.
bic or even possible. If we can prevent this
expedition from sailing, or intercept it mid
ocean, we shall have done much towards
avoiding the damages which would arise

development"
