Following the spirit Of the Constitution the
democrats Of the sixth Ohio district have de-
termined to bring back General Rice, their
present representative to the body OF the peo'
bio from whom he went. and to send another
gentleman to Congress in bis stead. Thus has
another democratic member Of the present
House of Representatives. which. though having
nominal democratic majority, is opposed 10
democratic measures, been rslegated to the
ouietness of his home, after the short session
of next winter. The conservative and democratic
majority of the country is all right, but many
of it's present representatives 10 Congress are
all wrong, and not in true accord with it, and
it ia for the purpose of increasing that accord
that the changes now 10 progress, and that are
increasing the numbers as the result OF the
conventions becomes known, are being effected.
The Forty fourth Congress was overwhelmingly
democratic. but it made such poor use OF its
opportunities that it not only sadly disappolnt-
ed the expectations of it's friends. but Disguised
the vast and increasing army of voters who arc
not bound by party ties, and the result was thai
the majority 10 the Forty. fifth was cut down SO
close that though it would have been sufficient
if the material had been Of tho right sort, there
was none to spare. and the fear that it may be
entirely diasipated 10 the Forty sixth by reason
of the unsatisfactory manner in which it has
conducted itself in the present Congress-, Is
what is inducing the changes in the represen.
tstion to which We alIude; and the more OF
those changes the better.

bune probably mistook the action OF the Conser'
vative Committee of this city last Saturday,
defeating the Generals proposition for post
ponement of the ward meetings. for tho action
oftbe district convention to nominate candidate
forCongress, which willno be held until the 2Sth

didates, however, assert that the only error the
Tribune has made in reference to the
Generals defeat is as relates to time, and
that the fact has only been ante dated.
They claim that Alexandra, Fairfax, Culpeper
Orange and Rappahannock viii send united
delegates against him to the convention, and that
there is strong opposition to him 10 all the
remaining counties of the district. The con.
test will probably be quite spirited. as we'll for
