The members of Congress have arrived home,
and lnOst of them have commenced an active can
yass for reelection. In the Massachusetts, Conven'
ton of l7eS, called for the purpose OF cons derlng
the question of accepting the Federal Constitution,
the re was good deal of discussion upon that clause
which gives Congress power in relation to the time
and manner of eecting members. The fear was
expressed by some that unless compelled the States
might decline to send any members, and 20 the new
Government would fall to pieces. | think wa have

there is not district ia the United States
which will fail to elect its member. Certainly we
have none such here. Mr.. Comins of the Fourth
District positively declines but with that exception,
and possibly that of Mr.. Damrel, whose ill-heslth
puts him out of the ring, all the members ere willing

on this subject, many new candidates have been
named. but | cannot undertake to trouble you with
any more details at present. The Republicans nd
certainly carry nine districts, and probably the two
Boston districts in addition. These districts are
the Fourth and Fifth. In the Fourth Gov. Gardner
had CSC more votes than Mr.. Banks, and Mr.. Beach
had l57 more than Mr.. Banks. In the Fifth Gard
ner had 100 more than Banks, and Banks ~, more
than Beach These figures, however, furnish no
materials for prophecy of the result this year

cans The vote of 1856 furnishes more reliable
basis. have it not by me, but you will perhaps
remember that Mr.. Burlingames majority was
some 90 or 90, and Mr.. Comins's something more.
The old Wing element is now, however, still more
efiectually disintegrated, and the bunker American
party is disorganzed But then it is to be consld-
cred that Gardner was for Burlingame and COmas
in 1856. His influence is little or nothing now.
Mr.. WalcOtt is understood to have added something
to the money capital Of His late Excelency, but to
have diminished in more than an equal proportion
his political capital. 1t can make but little dler-
cnce who Gardner is for or against.
