The Next Hossc Of Representatives.
1t is as vet too early III the contest to make
any very reliable estimates in regard to what
NAV be the character of the next House Of
Representatives. Elections have taken place
in ONLY three fee States, aud, until after the
Presidential election, we can make no ealcu
latiOns upon any accessioHs from the slave
holding States. Yet it is even now not d fiji
cul, TO see, that, flour present bright hopes in
regard to the Presidential canvass are reaiiz
ed, the Republicans will certainly elect re-
Liable and sure majority To the next House !;
and even if we are beaten, as seems now
hardly possible contingency, that we shall
be still so strong as to present effectual bar
rier to the enGroachments OF the oligarchists of
the South.
The present House Of Representatives con-
sists of 234 members, and may now be CLASH
fed - Members from the fifteen Southern
States, 90; Northern Locofocos, 20 South
Americans u; Republicans, ll0 vacancies,
9 In full House, lis is a majority. of
course the Republicans must gain ut least
eight members to give them this majority. Of
this number, they have already gained one in
Iowa, one in Maine, and one in Missouri -
and the prospect seems good, that they will
gain that number, on the 14th, i'll the single
State Of Pennsylvania. In that State, a per
feet union has been formed in all, or nearly
ali, the Congressional Districts, and the Phil
adelphia North american predicts that this
union will carry every Congressional District
except two in the State. The prospect is good,
also, of our gaining two members in Indiana,
in the place Of Scott and Dunn, three in New
York, one IN New Jersey, two in California
two in Illinois, one III Michigan, and ne in
Wisconsin. In the States in which elections

FREEDOM OF SPEEoH.-A Republican meet
ing in New York was broken up last week
by gang of rowdies headed by a democratic
Councilman. Why not If the principles
of the democratic party are really national"
if the same rule prevails in New York as in
Virginia and in South Carolina, why not the
same practice under it If Republican
meeting may be broken up in Wheeling, why
not in New York; if man daring to avow
Republican sentiments South of the Potomac
may be lynched or banished, why not in New
York 1t is only anticipating little what
the enemies of free speech and freedom mean
to do if they carry this election. They have
one section under the reign of terror; they
mean to have the other also. Providence Jour

BALLOT Box STUFFING IN PENNsYLvAN1A.-

now pretty well ascertained that the new names
added to the voting lists in this city by extra as
sessmehts under our Buchaneer,M Municipal rulers
will exceed Twenty thousand, or about one. third
of the aggregate legal vote. This shows the
desperation of the party in sympathy with the

large illegal vote. Our friends are aroused.
