Tie next Representative.

Congress is being discussed in the papers
of this district, and among the people.
The Woodstock Standard of last week
has leading article favoring the nominal
ton Of r. 7. Washburn Of Woodstock, who
will be likely TO receive the nomination, if
Mr. Morrill, cannot be prevailed upon to
accept reelection. We need hardly say
that under such circumstances, we should
give him our hearty and cordial support.
Hon. A. p. Hunton of Bethel, and Bliss
! n. Davis of Danville, have also been
named, but we understand their friends gen
orally prefer the reelection of Mr.. Morrill,.
The Windsor Journal has published
number Of articles, nearly all favoring the
denomination Of Mr.. Morrill,, and we pub
lish below a communication favoring Capt.
j. w. Phelps of Brattleboro, late of the
U. S. Army. We have expressed our
preference for Mr.. Morrill,, and there I" rest
our case,' but are quite willing others should
have fair hearing. The article below, we
copy from the Windsor Journal.
Mr.. EDITOR The following extract
from letter published in the Boston Jour-
nal of the 9th inst, from their able Wash
ington correspondent, " PERLEY," deserves
the serious consideration of every Repub-
lican voter in this Congressional District.
! The time will soon come when we shall be
called upon TO nominate candidate to rep
resent us in the Congress, and notwithstand-
ing our able and honored representative has
declined denomination, l hope that he
will re. consider that determination, and that
the republican freemcn will have their oicn
aoay in the matter. That more than nine
of every ten are anxious to return him
again to Congress, l have no doubt. We
want Just such men as Mr.. MORRILL, in
Congress-" honest old Abe will need
jus! such men--men of experience and ex-
tensive inhrence--in iEaugurating his nd.
ministration. There are in the republican
ranks in this District, many able and good
men-but there is not one who can begin to
have the influence, or do so much to aid
the neac administration. Let the republi-
cans in every part Of the District rally for
the nomination of Mr.. Morrill, and insist
(have they not right p that he shall serve
them at this important crisis in the history
of the party and of the country. Republi-
cans read and ponder on the extract which
follows. A REPUBLICAN.
There is reason to believe that nearly
every Southern Representative will be re-
elected this fall, and it is to be hoped that
the North will have the good sense not to
send inexperienced men to compete with
/ them. AS was remarked in the edtoria
t columns of The Journal last winter, %
f is evident that Southern members do en-
/, Joy great advantage in their longer term
of service. The House of Representative
{ is large amid disorderly body, the metho,
is of conducting business is intricate, and tn
e mixture of several parties complexities tn
,s management of any measure of general in
terest. Nothing, therefore, can supply tn
: place of experience the invaluable bene
l. fiji of having repeatedly gone through til
IN same legislative shoals, quicksands, and
III may be, quagmires." There is not req
70 resentative from Massachusetts. or Me-
Hampshire or Vermont that can be spare
' from the floor at the coming crisis, and n
q. new man who has the good of the republ
I'd can party at heart, will seek to displac
of any one of them. Parliamentary tacticiar
II are what is needed, who can profit by e,
perience, and no amount of talent can max
~ green hand useful as a representa-
nd tive.

At the last session Of Congress, the Sou

They have gone far toward making SLAYER
national, and they are unwilling 10 sto
1t is certain that either freedom or slavel
must become national, and that the peaC
prosperity and perpetuity of the Union r
