The new Congress, it is said, presents the fact

From a statistical table signed by twenty
nine of the members of the Kansas Territorial
House of Representatives, 1T appears that ten

formerly iWhigs and thirteen Democrats, and
two Independent. Two are but twenty three

none are especially eminent for ability, as the
whole they represent the bone and the SlnGw
aud intelligence of the people.
The Richmond South takes the ground that
the offence which Senator Douglas has commit
