although he might not be technically a straight
Republican, we should most cheerfully vote
for him for President. as we did once before
But TO this another class of obiectors re-
ply, eve have a Republican majority elected
to Congress, and have thus proved our power
to elect any one we please" But to this we
answer, that of the four battle ground States,
two Of them. New-Jcrsey and Pennsylvania,
were carried last Fall only by union Of the
Opposition, and the Republican senator gain
ed in the former State was tho fruit Of that
union, but which a straight Republican issue
would inevitably have thrown away. And
Indiana and Illinois, the other two, were re-
ally about drawn battles, though in each Of
these States we had the aid Of a few thousand
votes outside our own ranks. Nor is il lit
orally true that the Republicans have secured
a majority in Congress. Even with the two
members from Minnesota, whom we hope for,
the House can only be organized by the plu-
rality rule, as in 1855, or by a union of the
Opposition. Out of 237 members ll9 is a
majority and there are elected thus far l04
Republicans, 8 North Americans, who viii
probably vote with them Garter and Briggs.
Of New y ork. Nixon and Stratton of Now
Jersey, and Joy Morris. Ncrre Mlward and
Wood Of Pa. all elected on union tickets
and eight Anti-Lecompton Democrats Davis
Of Ind, Adrain and Riggs, of n. j.. Clark,
Haskin and Reynolds Of n. Y, and Hickman
and schwartz Of Pa.) not counting the five
Illinois Douglasites and Montgomery Of Pa,
who, as regular Democratic nominees, we fear
viii be found forgetting their AuG-Iccomp-
tonism at the door Of the Democratic caucus.
as il is so easy to do, that there is a straight
Republican majority in every District which
elected an Opposition Congressman, they for
get how large proportion of them owed
their success TO that very union of the Oppo-
sition who are hostile TO Slavery Extension.
to which we have been aluding II this was
emincuty iudicious IN District or in State,
