A frail .oking platform was erected opposite the
gate OF the Castle in the same position which 1t oc-
Cupied on the evening of the first meeting. Here,
from about p. M. was stationed band of music,
which performed its share in collecting crowd.
Besides this attraction there was piece Of cannon
stationed at the waters edge, from which discharges
were fired III at intervals. And better still, there
were half dozen of tar barrels gnited in front Of
the stand. with avenue OF blazing torches which,
while theg gave the reporters light to take notes.
had highly picturesque effect, and evinced tact in
getting up the affair. There was no procession. as
on the occasion Of the first meeting, but flags and
banners were hung and stationed on and around
the platform. Many of those banners bore the same
inscriptions as we have heretofore recorded Among
the novelties in that line were the following:--

BURLINGTON, FRIDAY APRIL 81, 1855,
Tho Thirty-fourth Congress.

The free States have all held their elections
for members Of the next Congress The Sen
,,nsl and Patriot have looked into or over
the results and end, to their great relief, that
the Anti-Nebraska flood has been "not much
of shower after ALL To be sure some who
voted for the Nebraska bill have not been re-
elected, but then some who voted against it
also have not been reelected. From which
it is as plain as possible that there has really
been no great feeling among the people on the
subject of the repeal of the Missouri Compro-
mise-that the next Congress will leave that
ton to the extension Of Slavery in the coun-
try, will henceforth be reduced to " con-
temptible sectional faction"
1t is a pity that the papers named could not
have taken the trouble to substantiate these
sweeping conclusions, by a statement of the
comparative strength of parties in the next
Congress, as indicated by the results of the
elections thus far held We will endeavor to
supply the omission.
The entire House Of Representatives num-
bers two hundred and thirty four members
OF these one hundred and sixty one have been
already chosen from sixty free States and five
Slave States, which have held their elections
since the passage of the Nebraska bill. The
following table shows how these States stood
in the last congress, and how they Stand

merchants to sell, under certain restrictions. The

manner of obtaining license, and the requirements
necessary before II shall he granted by the Court Of
Quarter Sessions, to whom the power is given. The
tenth requires the merchant to keep his license

eleventh makes il misdemcanor to violate any of
the provisions Of the act. The twelfth permits i'm.
porters, auctoneors, domestic producers brcweries

The sixteen free States sent to the last Con-
gress, n'nety-one Administration men. They
send to the next Congress TwESTY-oNE, of
whom at least four are opposed to the Nebras-
ka wrong and of whom the seats of three are
contested. The slave States Of Delaware Flor
ida. South Carolina, Arkansas and Missouri,
have elected ten Administration, seven oppo-
'i''oh IN the place Of thirteen Adminstra-
tioh' three opposi.io--, The character Of rho
next House is thus already settled. The
seyenty-fOur members to be elected may
er,ry one be Administration men and vet the
opposition is majority. But the adninistra-
ton will do well, if it secures one half of
these seventy four. Allow it two thirds of
them however, and where will it be The
tables are turned with vengeance. In the
last House the Administration had clear
minority Of cighiy-one. In the next, the majo-
rity against the Administration cannot, in all
human probabilty,be less than eighty Foriy
tTo northern Representatives voted for the
Nebraska bill Ofthem only four or FIVE will
return to the next Congress and will find them
selves conspicuous solely as survivors of the
wreck they helped to bring about.
This surprising revulsion cannot be honestly
oscribed by any discerning man to anything
but the passage Of the Nebraska bill. What
ever may be the Native American or roliti-
cal proclivities of the one hundred and
twenty-seven Anti-Administration Represen-
tatives elect from the Free States they are
firm in their hostility to the repeal of the
Missouri compromise. We may safely leave
1t to the future to confound the predictions
of the northern doughfaccs, who, in spite of
the lessons Of the last year, continue to
prophesy peace to the advocates of slavery
