Vermont watchman and State journal. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1836-1883, 1859-08-26

The Washington correspondent Of the
/ New York journal Of Commerce thus remarks
upon the contingency Of the next Presidency
going into the House;
Tennessee is already lost to the Demo-
cratic candidate, if the election comes before
the House. Maryland is not secure for that
candidate. Minnesota, according to present
prospects, will either be neutraized by the
election Of one Democrat and one Republican,
or she will be in entire opposition.
Instead Of eighteen States which the De-
mocracy had a right to claim in the House.
only fifteen can be calculated upon out of the
thirty -iour-for that will be the whole num-
Der Of States represented in Congress, after
the admission of Kansas
The Democracy will therefore be shy of
trusting to the House They must make a
nomination that will prevail before the peo-
pie
A FAIrHrUG PIcruRE.-At the recent
State Convention Of the Anti-Lecompton De-
mocracy of California, the following resolu-
ton was adopted. 1t is a faithful caricature
Of the present National Administration:
"Resolved, That the Administration Of
James Buchanan, by its outrage on the rights
of the people Of Kansas, its unrelenting pro-
scrption Of tried and worthy democratic
principles, It's constant violation of the pied
gcs which brought it into life, its attempts to
make the Legislative subject TO the ENecu-
tive department, and its gross extravaganccs,
mismanagomont and corruption, has forfeited
the respect of and lost the confidence of the
American people
The Washington correspondent of the n.
Y journal of falga ho tprr
view of the Southern elections:
THE number of opposition members Of
Congress elected is sufficient to save the ad-
mnistration Democracy from the trouble and
responsibility of organizing the next House
of Representatives. Neither the Democrats
nor the Republicans will have a majority in
the House, though the latter party may,
through the aid, direct or indirect, of South
ern opposition members, secure the organiza-
ton Of the House.
This is to be hailed with satisfaction as a
result favorable to the peace Of the country.
The South cannot lay the blame of such a re-
suit on the North. They must take the
blame upon themselves. If Republican
/ Speaker and Republican Committees be Sc
cured, the South cannot say that the North
did it.
There will be much delay and trouble in
choosing a Speaker of the House, and the
plurality rule must be resortod to, as was the
case in the :hirty-fourth Congress, when Mr..
Banks was chosen
The San Francisco correspondent of the
Missouri Democrat says of the Oregon re-
turns, which purport to elect Stout by forty
five majority:
This is the figuring of the Lccompton or
gans. The Republicans, reducing a reported
majority in Coos county to a stated official
majority of only six, still elect their candid
ate by twelve. This is close work, and il
. will require considerable labor to go over the
votes to see if any mistakes have been com
mitted. In Benton county alone Stout has
200 majority. There was much illegal yot
ing. Logan will contest, if Stout receives
the certificate.
II is a significant fact, that of the thrice,
! Senators from the Northern States who voteC
, for the repeal of the Missouri Compromise il
y 1854, only one yet remains in the Senate
: Mr. Douglas alone has saved himself by
n fortunate Interpretation, and by being to-
:, shrewd to make second blunder when lie
y compton came up.
