Majority against the regular democracy .........
We give the fshy democrats to the opposition,
for besides the fact that many of them have
already gone over to the black republicans, it is
a well known axiom in politics that no represen-
tative man can abandon his own party and not
coalesce with the opposition. He who once gets
on the fence must 60 clean over or come back
into the ditch of oblivion and remain there.
Besides this there are four seats classed above
as democrats proper which are contested by
black republicans; and if they obtain the orga-
nization of the House there is little doubt that
some of the contestants will obtain the seats
These are Barrett, of Missouri, contested by
Blair Sickles, of New York, contested by Will
Hanson; Maclay of New York, contested 10y
Hamilton and Florence, of Pennsylvania, con-
tested by Ryan. The concession of these seats
TO the contestants will increase the opposition
majority in the House to thirteen.
Some changes will no doubt be made in this
table by the elections yet to come of, and it is
not improbable that few of the States
where the elections have yet to be made may not
be represented. Several Of them cannot order
an early election without calling an extra session
Of the State Legislature to authorize it, and
few of these have no provision in their constitu-
tons for the calling Of such session. This
state of things demonstrates the necessity of
Congress taking some action upon the present
scattering method of electing the members of the
House, and providing for such contingency as
that now presented by adopting uniform time
for holding the Congressional elections through
out the Union.
From the foregoing data it is evident that the
coming Congress will be one of the most dis
cordant we have ever had. The prize to be con-
tended for is the entire organization Of the 60
vernment for four years from the 18th of March,
1861, with its expenditure of three hundred mil
| lions or more Of dollars. All the cliques and
factions will do their utmost to kill each other
and many Of them will probably succeed in
killing themselves We may expect, in fact
a perfect Kilkenny fight among all parties
| Without the democratic vacancies that will pro-
badly occur in the extra session the opposition
would have the organization in their bands: and
with the vacancies, they are pretty certain to
have it. The policy Of the democrats will be
to throw the odium that the next Congress is Ger
tain to inspire in the country upon their antago-
nists; and they will no doubt adopt some rule
similar to that they adopted in 1856! which will
preclude q combination between themselves and
any of the opposition elements. This will force
upon the latter the election Of Speaker and the
selection Of the committees, which will carry with
them the responsibility Of the legislation Look
ont then, for an opposition Congress, and two Of
! the most disgusting political scheming sessions
We have yet had.

tical Completion.

HCal Complexion.
We learn from Washington that Congress will
probably be called to meet in extra session on
the fourth Monday of August next.
The opening Of this session will be the begin
ming of the great struggle for the next Presiden-
cy, and the first contest will be on the Speaker
ship and organization Of the House, as was the
case in 1856. In this regard the complexion of
the next Congress becomes matter of great in
terest. The following carefully prepared table
shows what that will be, so far as can be deter
mined in the present position Of affairs. The
first column presents the classification of mem
bers already elected, and the second the men,
bers to be elected, classified as they stood in the
last House. We divide the parties into five
classes, separating from the others the 1shy de-
mocrats, who hope to control the organization of
the House and to elect their own President by
breaking up all the old parties. Here is the

The Uion Of this morning authoritative article on
'Our Mexican and Central American Relations" says
There is not the least believe from anything
which has yet transpired, that either the French
or the British government meditates any interference
in the political concerns Of Mexico; and il s
known that Captain Turner, the American coumand ny
officer has entered into an arrangement with the French
and British commanders that the officers of the three
nations shall land together should be necessary afford
protection to their respective citizens appears further
that does not take the ground that the
Monroe doctrine precludes any European nation from
might exist. 1t maintains and to take care that
the American States shall again be reduced TO
European dominion, but does not maintain that those
States may commit just such wrongs they please
against European Powers without being responsible to
those Powers for their Spain has declared
that has not the remotes idea Of attempting resub
jugate Mexico.
The United States has no objection to one canal or
twenty canals in Central America. This no question
under the Monroe doctrine. What they mean to mako
good that the contracts already made and existing with
their citizens shall not be violated and that such canals
when made shall be equally free and open to all COM
