The Nexs Congress
The elections in Pennsylvania, Indiana, and
Ohio, on Tuesday last, have resulted in decisive
Republican victories, both for members OF Con
gress and the State tickets, making great gains
over 1856 and il the other free States where con
Rressiona elect ons are yet to be held for the thr-
ty.sixth Congress. do no better than they did two
years ago, the next House Of Representatives is
secured to the opposition to the national admin
istration by ten or twelve majority. This makes
the election Of Republican anti-Lecompton
Speaker sure thing. Mr.. Buchanan will thus
be in the same unfortunate predicament with his
immediate predecessor, of having the popular
branch of Congress and its presiding officer OPP
posed to him during his last two years Of service,
but there will be this important difference, If the
Empire State gives US anything like as large
gains as Pennsylvania; Speaker standing sub.
stantialy upon the Republican platform be
elected by iriump plant majority upon the first
ballot. instead Of consuming two months with
one hundred and thirty three ballots, as was the
case three years ago.
The result in Pennsylvania is overwhelming
against the President, and shows the influence
posing the treachery and bad faith of the
man whom they had been SO instrumental
IN elevating to his present high position,
on the strength of his pledges of fair deal
ing toward Kanzas, which pledges were subse.
quen'ly so ruthlessly violated by Mr.. Buchanan,
in obedience to the behests of the Southern ul-
tras. Not only Pennsylvania, but the whole
West, as the recent elections show, is ahame with
indignation at the LecOmpton iniquily, and the
people Of the North are beginning to be aroused
to sense Of the enormity of the fraud attempted
to be perpetrated. LeCOmpton, to be sure, was
strangled in Kanzas, but the Infamous pro-slavery
principle incorporated in that swindling PROPOSE
ton has been adopted by the Buchanan admins
traton, as the cornerstone of its policy in the
future, and the members Of the party in the free
States are unwilling to countensnce il by longer
continuance in organization SO corrupt and
wicked as that has become, to which they
have belonged.
The delegation from Pennsylvania to the pres.
ent House, which goes out on the 4th of March
next, sta6ds Is administration to 10 opposition
As indicated by the returns thus far received, the
delegation from that State in the next Congress,
the first regular session of which will be one year
from the coming December, will stand as stated
in the following table, as compared with the rep.
resentation in the present House, the admins.
tration members being put in italics. Thus far.
only three of the Buchanan Democratic stripe
being chosen from the Presidents own State.
What change in two years time!

The defeat of ]. Clancy Jones, of Pennsylva.
