0rga nixation Of tho Next House-Demo-
cratic Success Not Only Possible, but
Probable.
Recent public events, and most notably the
Harper's Ferry inoursion, have operated a
wonderful change in the prospects of parties
In the next House Of Representatives. Up to
the time that John Brown and his crazy fol-
ioaers gave practical exposition OF the
doctrines and views Of the black republican
party, the chances of that party for the organi-
cation Of the next House were very lattering
They had only to cajole or honeyfnggle or buy
up half dozen stray members Of the anti-Le-
comptonite or the Southern opposition candi-
dates, and that they calculated reasonably
enough to do by arrangements as to the Offices
of Clerk, Postmaster, Doorkeeper, Sergeantat-
Arms and other subordinate places. But John
Browns foray has changed ali that; and now
the republicans cannot calculate on the co.
operation of more than two members outside
Of their own party.
How, then, stands the case! The republl-
cans count their strength In the next House as
llS; tho democrats count theirs as 90; the
Southern opposition theirs at %, and the anti
Lecomponites theirs at 9. The following table
shows how these figures are made up:-

from the Richmond Enquirer, the central organ
Of Governor Wise for the Presidency. The
Hunter organ pleads for commutaton Of the
sentence Of "Old Brown" as u good stroke of
southern policy; the Wise organ denounces
this appeal as abolitonism and treason, and
calls for the expulsion Of the offender from the

the subsequent telegraphic advices from

that their statements are exaggerated.
There can be little doubt that in thoir alarm
the citizens of Brownsville have magnifed both
the numbers and the intentions OF the bandit
Cortinas. As he is an inhabitant and citizen OF
Texos, 1t corresponds to the government Il that

oeain been lost to the democracy. and her case
appears to be so hopeless that tho Charleston
Convention, in casting about for the Northern
balance Of power in 1860, must return again
to New York In this view the nomi-
nation Of Seward, or his rejection by the
republican party, will depend very much
upon the action of the democracy at
Charleston; for as the vote Of New York, now
doubtful, will be indispensable to the success
Of the republicans, their policy must be shaped
SO as TO secure this State, If possible, either
with or without Seward. The question, there
fore, whether Seward shall or shall not be the
republican candidate, may be settled against
him by the nomination Of a conservative ticket

State to suppress bis lawiess proceedings and
preserve its own peace but the President
fesying that the exertions Of the State may be
insufficient for the purpose, and that perhaps
some Of the evil doors in the Mexican territories
may take advantage Of the disturbance and
commit depreda ions has ordered troops from
Fort Clark, some six hundred miles of, to pro-
coed to Brownsville. Cortinas will, no doubt,
have fed before they reach there, and sought
refuge in the Mexican territory. There he can
not be pursued by United States troops, and In
the present distracted state of affairs in the
neighboring republic it Is doubtful whether the
authorities can arrest him. II Is TO- be hoped
that the signing Of the pending treaty between
the two countries will settle these frontier Diff
culties.

State. To add to the gravity OF The crime Of
the Hunter organ. 1t has published the prospec-
tus Of the New York Tribune, which clearly,
according to the Wise organ, makes said Hun
ter organ an abolitionist in disguise, traitor
and spy. This is a very extraordinary state
Of things. Can it be possible that Senator
Hunter is taking the side of sympathy for "Old
Brown" in order to make political capital, and
cut out Governor Wise in the North The viru-
lence Of the Wise organ justides this supposi
ton. At all events, when Old Brown begins to
find sympathy in Old Virginia, in Presiden-
tial view Of the subject, there may be hope for
him. Let Hunter keep 1t up, and Wise may
be inclined to mercy. There is still a chance
for Old Brown, when the two rival Virginia Pre-
sidential aspirants begin to quarrel over him,
both looking to the North.

of the meshes of the law; and, to say the least,
it looks suspicious.
Hyatt as we have said, was the Secretary OF
the former revolutionary organization which
collected so large sum Of money; and now,
under the endorsement and encouragement Of
Greeley, he is at work again. When Colonel
Forbes was about to start for Kansas to or
ganize and discipline the revolutionary forces
there, Greeley gave him and Hyatt dinner
together, after which he accompanied the
Colonel to the railroad depot, on his way to
the revolutionary field, and gave him $40 to
help him along, at the same time telling him
if there was to be any fighting to write to let
him know, and he Greeley would be on
hand. There was fighting at Harpers Ferry.
Why was Greeley not there? Was he afraid Of
the cons equenccs? Perhaps he did not intend
matters Should 60 SO far, or if they should, that
he did not wish to be implicated in the act OF
treason and murder. But the whole evidence
leaders are revolutionary in their acts and
ideas, and if not exactly rebels in the eye of
the law, they are moral traitors who desire to
break up the Union Of these States.
What other inference can be drawn from their
new movement They make noble martyr
Of. the criminal John Brown, who attempted to
overthrow the constitution and rcvolutionise
the government by scrviie insurrection at the
South. They get up his portrait as an image
for the people to worship, whereas II ought to
be sent to the Rogues' Gallery, and they tnrn it
to account to collect more money for revolu'
tionary Purposes II matters not whether 1t ~
applied to the family Of the convict or to tho
direct objects OF civil war. The moral effect
il tie same. The tendency is revolutionary
and inlammatcry to the public mind 1t is the
strongest endorsement Of the treason and MUIR
