The VICE PRESIDENTS ILLINOIS LELTER-Vice
President Breckenridge, it is stated, has written a
letter to the Illinois State Central Committee, in
which he says that while he does not endorse the
course of Senator Douglas in the late session of
Congress on the Kansas question, he regards that
question as settled and that in the present contest
in Illinois he sympathses with Senator Douglas, and
wishes him success. The report that the Vice Pres.
dent would address the people of Illinois is pro-
nounced incorrect ..s s.,

Virginia Democratic State Convention.

The Central Committee of the Democratic party
of Virginia have designated Petersburg the place
and the second of December as the time for holdug
the State Convention to nominate candidate for
Governor. The South says "We had suggested
different arrangement, but accept the decision of
the Committee with perfect satisfaction. The De-
mocracy of the Cockade city deserve the compli
ment; nor will they neglect any provision for the
hospitable entertainment of their associates from
other quarters of the State The place is easily
cessble from every point. and abounds in comfortable
accommodations. The party will cheerfully ratify
the action of the Committee"

The Richmond Emo uirer.

The Richmond Enquirer has been considerably
enlarged, and appears in new dress from "top to
toe" The Inquirer is now looking remarkably
WELL and gives evidence in its columns of great,
tinuous and well sustained labor. We do not agree
with the Editors in some Of their recent views; but
this will not prevent from bearing cheerful testi-
mony to the ability with which the paper is conduc
ted, nor from wishing the establishment the most
abundant pecunary success.
The Enquirer establishment is doubtless the larg-
is Bindery connected with the establishment, and
also lithographc department, the only one, by the
way, in the South. The number of presses employ
ed is six, to wit, large newspaper cylinder press;
a large book PRESS manufactured by Adams large
hand press for posters, and three hand presses for
jobs. The presses are driven by an engine of four
teen horse power. The Editors conclude their des-
cription of their establishment as follows:
"Our readers will be enabled to form correct es-
innate Of the extent Of our operations, when they
are informed that the number of hands kept con-
stanty mployed in our several departments amounts
to eighty-six, exclusive of collectors We have
among this number, representatives Of divers nation
alities and creeds. We have Americans, English,
Irish Scotch. French, Germans, Italians-Episcopa.
lans Presby Methodists Baptsts, Catholics,
Universalists Campbeltes, &C., &c. Who will
doubt that We have fair diversity in nationalities
and creeds? And strange, the relations of this ap-
parently heterogeneous assembly of the most
pleasing and agreeable character. They pull togcth.
er like noble fellows.
The number of gas lights in our establishment is
one hundred and thirty, all of which will be in full
blaze during the winter months The effect o: these
reflected through the series of windows in our es.
tablshment, must needs be imposing. We may
we'll say that they will mpart considerable vitality
to that part of the city. The whole establishment
is likewise heated by steam from the boiler, con-
veyed in pipes through the various departments"

The next House of Representatives.


The next House of Representatives will consist
Of 2s7 members. Of these eighty-fve have been
elected. Ffty-two of these are black Republicans
and thirty three Democrats The States yet to elect
are as follows: Alabama, Connecticut, California,
Delaware, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Maryland, Massachusetts,, Michigan, Minnesota, Mis-
sissippi, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Caro-
lima, New York, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas
Virginia and Wisconsin. In the present House these
States represented by eighty eight Democrats,
fifty.two black Republicans, and twelve Southern
Know Nothings. If, therefore, in the elections yet
to take place the black Republicans shall make a
clear gain of fourteen members, they will have a
majority Of the next House of Representatives. If,
however, in the elections to be held the Democrats
should hold their own they will have the House by
seventeen majority.
Will they do it? We confess we have our fears.
Democracy is losing in the free States by the fdel.
ty with which it maintains the Constitutional rights
of the South and the antisavery cause is gaining.
