But there are Border State Representa-
tives in the House elect whose votes, from
their consanguinity to slavery, have, in
the popular apprehensions, been assigned
to the policy that opposes the war. These
Representatives are as follows:
KENTUCKY.

/ will venture to take the politics OF
MANY of these Border State men out OF
the field Of speculation, at least SO far as
the organization of the House is concerned.
OF Kentucky-L ucien Anderson Gall
honor to him y is an Administration man
cup to the hub.'' He will as thoroughly
sustain the war as Samuel Casey did in
the last House. More, [and Tore honor
to him y he goes for the destruction OF
human slavery, not only in his own noble
State, bnt throughout the Republic. And
Anderson will go into caucus.
1t is probable that George II. Yeam will
vote for the administration candidates for
the organization, if he does not go into
caucus. 1t is probable that Henry Order
will do the same. This probability could
have been, and can yet be, made GER
tainty. Kentuckians who have in the last
ten months gone hOmeward from Wash
ingtOn, from missions OF q pure patriotism,
carrying in their hearts the bitterness OF
disappointment and the sense OF injury and
neglect, where they lad right to expect
sympathy and care, as children have the
right 10 expect fostering from their pa
rents, will understand what | mean. OF
Harding l have not at present sufficient
knowledge to speak Of Robert Mallory
there is no hope nor present possibility OF
political good. Green Clay Smith stump
ed Ohio for Brough. Could anything
more be asked? He will vote for the
administration candidates on the organza-
ton, if he does not go into caucus. So
will Brutus J. Clay. So will William II.
Randall. OF Wadsworth, like Mallory,
there is neither hope nor present possible
lity of political good. So that OF six of
these Border State men, it may be said
that it is nearly certain that they will help
organize the House in behalf OF the prose-
cutiOn of the war and the support Of the
administration.
Of politicians uEprineipled
in heart and foes of their country thinly
yelled with patriotism, are taking Frank
Blair's name in vain, and assigning him as
tool to be used in the next House to en-
barrass the Government and encourage
the rebellion. His is the pedigree of po-
litical sagacity and of patriotism. Never
will he decend into that avernus of
politics, from which revocation can diff
Guilty be purchased with ten years sacri-
fee of youth and blood, upon the affairs
that are set up in camps and on battle
fields.
OF Tiryimia-L. II. Chandler, like An
derson, of Kentucky, is for the Admins
tration cup to the hub" He is sound
Northern man, though the crib taken
from his side by marriage is of Mary
land. Joseph Segar is understood to have
had his support of the Administration
strained to that point of tension where
patriotism almost breaks; but he has
bt en- heard to say that he would vote for
Casey for Clerk. regard him as sure to
vote for all the nominees of the Admins
tration caucus. B. NJ. Kitchen stands
squarely for emancipation. That's enough.
He will 20 into caucus, too. So well is
this known that the conspiracy against the
country which seeks to replace Etheridge
as Clerk. and to make an anti-war Demo-
crat Speaker, has set up a man named
Mckenzie to contest Kitchens seat, in Or
der to exclude his vote from the organiza-
ton of the House.
So the account with the Border State
men elect, thought to be doubtful, but
reasonably certain to vote for the Admin
istratiOn, stands thus:
kentucky. ..........6 Eastern Virginia. ..S
Missouri.. .......-..1 -

In the roll from the Free States, first
above, the name of Mr. Corning of New
York, was allowed to stand, as Demo
cratic representative. take it for grant,
ed that Mr.. Pruyn will succeed him. Della
ware is to choose one member. He will
be Srnithers, a Unionist and a supporter
OF the Administration. Maryland is too
choose five members. Ifthe policy which
allowed our last candidate for Governor
in Delaware to be defeated is not persis-
tt ntly and rancorously repeated against this
State, Maryland will surelys send to Congress
five staunch upholders Of the war, and
