The trouble. in our City Congress Districts still

continue, but they are not irrepaIable. On the
contrary, our intercourse With the prominent Re
| publicans Of each daily strengthens our assurance
! that they will nearly all be composed. Here are
| Or brief notes of their latest phases:
md District, down town. In this District,
there are four candidates in the fed-GeD. Hiram
WalbIdge and Daniel l.. Sickes Democrats; An
drew Bleakley, Republican,; Amor j. Williamson,
American. The Republicans svow themselves per-
fectly willing to unite the antiLecomptcn strength
on a single acceptable candidate But, If this were
done to-day, it would probably compel Mr.. Bu-
chanan to take bis man Sckles off the course and
50 give Gen. Walbridge a clear track and a moral
certainty Of election. 1t best, therefore, 10
keep two anti Lecompton candidates in The field
for the present We can concentrate our yote at
the last hour, if that shall then seem advisable.
Uh District, (4th 9th, 10th and 18th Wards. y
There is a scrub race here, "a is best. Thomas J.
Barr, John ". Farmer, and we believe Thomas
Stephens, are the Democratic candidates, opposed
by Edmund Griffin, American, and Owen W. Brcn-
nan, Republican. Our chance Is probably better
here With two candidates thnn Win but vnr since
Brennan has great personal strength in the Dis
tIict, while b union of the Opposition would proba-
big drive one or two Of the Democratic candidates
out of the field. Things here are in excellent
shape TO be LET alone for the present.
IM District 9th aud 18th Wards and Williams.
bureh. THE Republicans have presented Charles
NJ. Briggs, the Americans Gilbert C.. Dean, against
VIM. Il. Maclay, Lecomptcn. The Republicans
assure Us that they have already offered to agree
on Zophar Mills, William ID. Andrews, Charles
Fox, or any other unobjcctionable Americaa whom
the American conierees will name, but they are
gruhly answered "Dean or nobody" And they
say it is not possible for them to carry Mr.. Dean
if they were to accept him. In view Of these
facts, We submit that the Republicans have been
fair and liberal, and that, should the District be
lost, the fault will not be theirs. We appeal to
the Americans of the District to come forward
and unite in efforts to harmonic and carry it.
I'm District Here all i, harmonious and cheer.
ing. ROBERT Ii. McCCRDy is the union candi.
date sgainst John Cochrane, Lecompton; and, if
the former be not elected, We, with many others
will be sorely disappointed.
Tim Distric, 9th 10th and Goth Wards.)-
Here we regret TO say that the wrsngle continues
and we think the fault j. on the side of those who
WELD majority of the Republican Convention.
But as George Briggs the choice of nearly al the
Americans, was once agreed upon by the union
conferees, and was only rejected afterward by
majority of one in the Republican Convention, we
consider him to all ihtents and purposes the union
candidate, and believe he viii poll three fourths of
the Opposition vote If the friends of Mr.. Dow
insist on polling the other fourth, he may reflect
Elijah Ward, Lecompton. We trust, however,
they VIII think better of il, aud that the District
will be saved.
TIIkh District, (up town. Here Union nomi-
nation has been made Of James Fairman, Republi-
csn. over Erastus Brooks, American. Mr.. Fair
man is young mechanic, Of whom We hear
nothing but good, and believe him worthy and
exemplary citizen. We do not believe, however,
that he can carry the District, and We think be
should not have been nominated. There are many
independent, earnest, intelligent citizens in the
District who have determined to vote for HORACE
+. CLARK. and We heartily sympathize with them
Thus far, no single Democratic opponent Of the lie.
compton iniquity who has sppealed to his constit.
uents for d reelection has been re- ected and, with
our consent, none shall be. We believe HORACE
+. CLARK can beat the Federal oficehoder Arson
Herrick and that James Fsirnsn cannot, and We
urge concentration of the entire aAti-Lecompton
vote on Mr.. Clsrk. Ii that is not had, We believe
Herrick would be elected, even though Clark
should decline But we do not rest on cold calcu-
lstion. If welyed in that District We should vote
for Mr. Clark if We voted alone. But those who
vote for him will have abundant company, and it
will be such as any man might be proud Of.
Such are the present aspects Of the Congress
sional canvass in our City. II they are not 50
good as we could wish. neither are they so bad q.
