They nnw need eight more to give them 4 ma
inritv Should Minnesota send two Nepnhll'nhS'
thev would still want six To make majority
with all the free State elections over, excepting
Oregon and California, where, oE course, they
can gain nothing.
In no contingency. therefore, can the Rerubli'
can party organize the next House.
In the States Of arkansas, Florida, Delaware
Illinois. lndiana, Michigan, Missouri, New
York. New jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South
Carolina. and Wisconsin, the Democrats have
elected already to the next House As members
in the States Of Alabama. Georgia, Kentucky
Louisiana. Minnesota. Maryland, Mississippi
North Carolina. Oregon. Tennessee, Texas, Hr
rinia. and California, the Democracy rhprs''hte',
in the late Congress sixty-three districts, ana
will most certainly retain their control in hi oil
item. excepting possibly Minnesota. IN wiirh
event they win secure 60, making in "li III
members lacking, according to this estimate
eight Of II minority, being the same number '"'
Rcruhcang want.
In the States OF MARYLAND, North Carolina
Georoia; Louisiana. Kentucky. aud Tennessee,
the South Americans rorresented IN tine late c"u'
gress thirteen districts GONE OF those districts

enough to give thema majority.
From this statement it is evident that the
worst fortune the Democracy have to apprehehu a.,

summationl We think not. We have too goou
an opinion or the patriotism ol Southern itepre-
sentatiyes. no matter whit their political go NJ

GENTLY destitute Of principle to enter any coaII-
ton that may extend promise Of adequate re-
ward hut he will hnriv find ndanother accomnllce
in the treachorv. We believe Humphrey May
shall. Hill, of Georgia, and men OF their stamp
to be utterly incapsble Of n conspiracy against
the honor and interests Of their own section -
But if they are insensihlo TO the Appeals OF pa
triotism, they are not Indifferent to the sug%rs'
tions of expedicncg. The events OF the contest
which resulted in the election of Banks, admon-
ish +hen Of tho peril of another alliance with
Aboltionists in the organization Of the House
or REPRESENTATIVES. If the altcrnntire be
Blacl; i,epuhIicun or n Democratic Speaker, the
South American members will decido IN taVhr OF
thc latter OF this we have the very best as

But the 'IIerali affects TO question whether
the anti. I.ccomIton Democrats will not unite
with the Black Republicans. We have no ms

not vet So desperate rs to commit I" "'l'0cf"'7

On the whole, we have no fear of Black Re
