The next House of Representatives.

The opposition to the national Democratic party
is one thing in section, and another in another
section ; for example, the main issues in the
slavehoding States based upon the sentiment Of
antislavery, which our Northern Democratic friends
have 10 meet and here the issue is distribution
1t is idle to suppose that distribution if practical
HE or desirable, can be carried out The most
cuine friends which the measure has will not pre-
tend that success is likely to their efforts
We are bound, therefore, to believe, that this issue
is used here, as the anti slavery sentiment is used
in the non-slsvenolding States, to embarrass and
inure the Democracy. But thus far the oppos-
ton have failed. The national Democracy have
recently made large gains in the free States, while
in " old Virginia we have swept every thing with
q whrlwind of triumph.
The true question is, Shall the merit House Of Re
presentatces be Democratic or black Republican p
shall the democrats or the opposition hnre the House
We all remember for how many weeks the last
House was engaged in making Speaker; and how,
amid the greatest excitement, black Republican
Speaker was elected The Southern Know Moth
inss have no allies in the House with whom they
can cordially cooperate. There will be no Fillmore
man, no national Know Nothing in that body
What, then, will Southern Know Nothing members
do? Will they throw away their votes for Speaker
by voting for each other OR for some Northern
man supposed to be sound?-or seiU they cote Jo'
the Demoeratic candidate TOR Speaker?
Let the people put the question to Messrs Pur
year and Smith, and let them demand a straghtfor
ward, unequivocal answer. Will they, if elected
vote cheerfuly and at once for the Democratic can
didate:-or will they hesitate, and vote for him on
" in the last resort. thus giving opportunity fol
another black Republican triumph in the House o
Representatives Will they stand by President Blu
chanan on the slavery question without regard te
party?
Messrs Shaw and Scales will, if elected, 60 to the
House as friends of the present administration, and
as members of great national, Constitutional par
ty. No pledges are required from them on thest
points. They are already in the path of duty. ant
the people can calculate with confidence on thei
course Would it be wise at time like this, to Sc
such men aside for others from whom pledges OF
such vital issues required? We think not.

COUNTY CoURr.-On Thursday last the County
Court of this County, majority of the Magistrates
being present. elected Gurdon Deming, Esq, Chair.
man of the Court, for the year ending with March
Term 1858.
On the same day. the Court, by unanimous vote,
complied with the will of the people expressed in
the election held on the 9th of April last BY max
ing the subscription of $780, 900 to the Western
Rail Road The Chairman Of the Court, with Daniel
McD;armid and Joel Williams, Esquires were ap.
pointed to issue the Bonds for the subscription, and
generally to represent the interest of the County in
the matter.
On Saturday another meeting Of majority of
Magistrates was held, in pursuance of call which
was promptly responded to from town and country,
to take into consideration the high prices of provi.
sons, with view to the adoption of similar mea-
of relief for the poor to those provided by
Guiford Edgecombe and Warren counties
We learn that Committee consisting ofthe Chair
man of the Court, and Jeremiah Roberts and Joseph
Arey, Esqs., was appointed with power to procure
supply of Corn and Bacon to be retaed at the dis
creton of the Committee. at cost and charges Four
thousand dollars appropriated for the purpose
of carrying into effect this charitable plan.
We learn that corn sold in our streets on Satur.
dav at 81 IS bushel. For the small quantities by
which the poor buy, we suppose they pay at the
rate of nearly 50 bushel for meal and 90 cents
pound for bacon, with -four, fresh meats, and poul-
try, in proportion Such prices must necessarily
produce suffering, and the action of the Court is
therefore worthy of all praise.
