MEssRs. EDITORS Having received numerous
letters from friends in regard to my certificate to
Prof. DeGrath's Electric Oil, I wish to make this
statement in your paper for their information, and
in answer to all their inquiries. I stated that Mrs.
Palmer had been deaf for too years. and not ten as
he says; and find that he has only succeeded in
relieving and not curing her. Mrs. P. has discon-
tnued the use of the Oil from want of confidence in
effecting cure. I was in hopes of its curing her,
and gave the certificate in too great haste, and
find that others have done the same.

The next House of Representative.

The next House OF Representatives..
OF the members of the thirty.ffth Congress al.
ready elected, seventy four Democrats, and nine
ty opposition. Elections still to be held in Rhode
Island, Connecticut. Maryland, Virginia North-Car-
ona, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, LOUISIANA,
Kentucky, sTennessee, Texas, and Missouri. The
members of the late Congress from these States
stand forty seven Democrats and thirty oppo-
slton; and if the Democrats should make no gains
in these States the next House will be under the
troll of the piebald opposition. The Democrats must
gain seven members in order to secure bare ma
jority. The Washington Union is of the opinion
that We shall certainly gain one member in Virginia,
one in Alabama, in Mississippi, two in Kentucky,
one in Tennessee, in Texas, and one in Nilsson
ri-eight; and the same paper counts upon gain
of two in North Carolina
Our friends in this State will thus perceive the
Importance of the approaching Congressional cam
vass. The Senate is Democratic, but the House is
still in Doubt We owe it to ourselves to the cause
of the Union according to the Constitution, and to
the administration of President Buchanan, to make
every honest and honorable effort that we can to
carry the First and the Sixth Districts in this State
and thus aid in the important work of securing
Democratic House. To sustain the President effec-
tually, and to rebuke and finally put down the de-
mon of sectional Strife the nert House must be De-
mocraic. We can expect but little if any aid in this
respect. from any portion ofthe opposition. This OPP
position, by whatsoever name called and no matter
where itexists will avail itself of every opportunity
openly or covertlyt to assa and embarrass President
Buchanan.
We therefore earnestly hope that our friends in
the First and Sixth Districts will bring out their best
and strongest men, and enter upon the campaign de.
termned to triumph. riley can, If they wW. Let
harmony and good feeling prevail, and let the only
rivalry be as to who shall do most to PROSTATE the
INSCRIPTIONS followers of "Sam."
As to the Districts represented in the last Con-
gross by Messrs. Rufin, Winslow, Branch, Cragc,
and Clingman there be doubt. They arc
Democratic by large majortcs, and will remain so.
The District represented by Mr.. Reade cannot be
counted on with any degree of certainty. We may
carry it as the result of combination of propitious
crcumstances-but, that is all. In the First and Sixth
Districts, we repeat, chances excellent, and
let every Democrat in these two Districts resolve that
if the day is not won the fault shall not be his.
