Organization OF the Next House.
We rejoice e observe the unanimity which prevails
among the Southern Opposition press in favor of uni
on OF the Opposition in the organization of the next
House of Representatives. SO far have seen there
h not dissenting voice to the proposition in the ranks
of the PARTY at the South All perceive the necessity OF
.lecting 10 the spcakershp Who will no, pack the
Committees with the view TO a suppression Of nyeSga
ton into the frauds and abuses which have
characterized the history Of the present Administration
And consequently the entire Southern Opposition party
cordially favor the idea of union among the Opposition
members of Congress North aud South for the purpose
OF eectiug suitable persons 10 the various Office OF the
Hou.r and especially to the important and responsible
Office Of Speaker In the Judgment OF the Southern up
position no Democrat whether frOn The North or IRE

such ISLANDERS and fAlsehoods deserve. It has been Nth
Southern Democratic editors and politicians the settled
habit Of their lives characterize Southern Wings
AbolitOni.ts in disguise simply because they refuse
tolerate the manifold rScalites and VII
laBie. OF the Democratic party. We accustomed 10
ghese eaumnious accusations and cannot this time
day be either inundated disconnected by thcm.-
Those neGroless Democratic demagogues very well know
that in n.inuating charge OF infdely to the South
against Southern Wings, they only giving utterauce
deliberate and wiful falsehood designed 90
impose upon the easy creduy of the honest but g
orant and uniformed voters in the Southern States

OF electon-to play upon the seustiyeueSs OF South
in regard to the institution Of slavery for the
sole purpose of promoting the vile and despcabe ends
of party and thereby continuing themselves in the pos
session and enjoyment of the public plumber But tie
masses Of the Southern people understand, last the
object OF their noisy aud camorous professions OF deyo
ton to Southern rights and of their false aud silly
Ratons against the Southern Opposition They see only
love of he sPoils the bottom OF all their pretensons
and all their movements and hence their cuckoo cry
Abolition against their bettcrs has lost it, power ben
eft themselves deceive Others and is treated by al
men, the South, who rrecamable fools the
idle wind which they regard not.
We called attention, week ago, TO a suggestion made
by village Democratic paper TO Southern Democratic
members of Congress, the effect that these Southern
Democratic members should "adSOcate the adoption Of
the plurality rule at the outset OF the organization OF the
House OF Representatives. This suggestion came
from the Charlottesville JsTersoniaH and derived all ire
consequence from the ao that that paper the special
aud devoted organ of the Chevaier LEASr who Is cn-
Der elect Of the Congress and considered
ths suggestion Of the ChevaIier LEAEE himself We
fendcd that If the Chevaers suggestion should be carried
ont and the plurality rule adopted the outset would
