CLEVELAND, O., Jan. 10, 1860.
Congressional matters remain in statu
Quo. During the last week there has been
fully the usual amount of spouting, on the
part of members, but less than the usual
amount of voting, several days having
elapsed since ballot. 1t is believed that
no combination of parties can be effected
so as to secure the cooperation of major
ity of tho members. Nothing remains but
the adoption of the plurality rule, or con-
tinued disorganization. The Republicans
have been persistently trying for many days
to secure the adoption of this rule; but the
Democracy will not consent. They evil
IDENTIFY do not desire an organization at all.
In the state of confusion. existing at
Washington, it is exceedingly hard to as
certain anything definite concerning the
prospects of the admission of Kansas the
present session; but the most reliable infor-
nation is to the effect that the Democratic
majority in the Senate have finally deter
mined to resist the application. This is
rendered the more probable from the fact
that, in the House few days since, Mir.
Hickman, of Pa, proposed the question to
the Democratic side as TO whether or not
they were going to oppose the admission of
Kansas under the Wyandott Constitution,
and no answer was given. This silence, in
view of all the circumstances, is regarded
as ominous of evil. l had hoped that the
necessities Of the party would eonstrain the
Democracy to do Kansas one act of justice
after all the injury they had heaped upon
her people. 1t will be a heavy load for
them to carry next fall
The Republican members of the Ohio
Legislature have resolved to go into caucus
for the nomination of candidate for U. S.
Senator, on the first of February. Gov.
Chase and Columbus Delano are the only
candidates spoken of on the Republican
side. Il is not doubted that Gov. Chase
will be nominated and elected. Ohio will
then be rightly represented in the U. S.
Senate. The Republicans are making sure
and steady gain in the Senate. They gain
two this year-one from Minnesota rnd one
from Ohio-which gives them 26 members,
when eight years ago they had but three.
AS fast as the people ''get chance at
them" they set the Democrats aside and
put Republicans in their places.
president making is being carried on
to a considerable extent just now amongst
politicians of all shades. The Democracy
of Ohio and Indiana have resolved for Mr.
Douglas, though it is quite probable thai
many of the district delegates from each
State will oppose him. In Illinois boil
wings of the yulture have sent delegations
to Charleston-Douglas and anli-Douglas
egates will be Douglas men. In New York
the lizards" and "Softs" each send full
delegations. The Softs are divided between
Seymour and Dickinson; while the Hard;
are supposed to favor a Southern candid

nominated will be supported BY the grea
body of the opposition to the present ad
ministration. The Republicans have it il
their power to elect President next fall. i
they but go to work nosV and continue SC

thing seems favorable.
An effort is being made to revive th'
Fillmore party of 1856, in order to play
into the hands of the Democracy again
