The debatable ground in Pennsylvania, so far ns respects Congrem, will doubtless be In the follow inn districts, whirb, liavluct tho sniull Cbt mojoritioH, may bo fairly regarded as iu doubt: 1 V. Philadelphia and Bucks (Tlmjer's), 278 Union majority. X. Scliulklll county, c'.c. (Strousc's), 473 Democratic niujont). All. Luzerne, etc. (Pennison's), r15 Demo cialie majority. XIV. JJaupliin, etc. (Miller's), 527 Union ma jority. XV I. Adams and Bedford (Koontz's), C8 Union lnaioritv. AXI. Fajctte District (Dawson's), 125 Demo cratic majority. Out of thefce five districts, the Republicans Lave three majorities, the weukest of all being that of General Kooulz. The Filth District, which Is composed of tho Twenty-second, Twenty-third, and Twenty-lilth Wards of Philadelphia, and Bucks county, is now represented by M. Russell Thayer, who has declined a rcnomination. This district now put forward Colonel Caleb N. Taylor, who re ceived the nomination in convention over Colo nel Barton II. Jenks and General Kly. Colonel Taylor Is a farmer of wealth, education, and )opularity, and announces hiiucelf a radical opponent of the President, and an advocate of liberty to all men. The Democrats have nomi nated Henry P. Ross, a veteran Copperhead, who believes the South right and the North wroup, and who was accordingly defeated by Russell Thayer iu 18C4. The district was for merly Democratic, but the establishment of manufactories owned Ly popular Republicans Colonel Jenks, principally has, no doubt, aided to Becure a Republican majority. The contest in this district will be louglit on the square issue, and a victory on the Union silo will be a strong test of the unpopularity ol the President's policy. The Tenth District, composed of Lebanon and Bchuvlkill counties, is no w repiescnteil by Myer htroiiM , an intense Copperhead, but an intclico tuitl cipher in ConLfres. He has been disniHse-1 by his constituents to make way lor Dr. C. D. tilonintrer, a German physician. Ilia opponent on the Union side U General II. L. Cuke, an intelligent soldier, who owns both property and laurels, and will niuk' a irooti tight. In 18(0, part of Northumberland and tho whole of iScliu.vlkill county constituted the Kleveutu Dis trict, aud elected the Hon. James II. Campbell, our preent Minister to Sweden, by the small majoiicy ot 319. Since the reapportionment, Lebanon and Schuylkill, which now comprise the Tenth District, huve given a diminishing lieinocratic majority. In 182, tntrousu beat Campbell by 721 votes: but his last majority was only 475. General Ilirtranft, the Union candidate in 1805 for State Auditor, earned the District by a majority of 312. This year it is doubtful whether the Democratic majority iu Schuylkill countv will exceed 1100, while Leba non county promises 1000 tor Cake sufficient to elect him if he ceti it. The Twelfth District embraces Luzerne and Susquehanna counties, iu North Pennsylvania, Jind is represented by Charles Demiuion, a Democrat. Susquehanna is an agricultural county, largely Republican, and with Bradford and Tioga formerly made up tho Fourteenth District, which in lbiif) elected the lion. Galusua A. Grow. Luzerne, lying south of it, is a coal country, heavily Democratic. James Archi bald, a manufacturer of Sornuton, an early Iie publieau, and a man of abihtv and character, lias been selected bv the Unionists to overcome the. 615 majority of DennUon, a result by no mean' impossible. Iu 18U2, Deimisou deK-ated Grow iu this District by 1701 majority; but in 18111 Judge Winthrop Ketcham it popular Republican, Earned once or twice for Uu;ted Htales Seuator and Governor made a thorough canvass, and lessened Dennison's majority to M5 votes. General llarlranlt, the Union can diilate tor State Auditor, curried the District in 1M5 by S'.IO majority, t-o there is hope for a radical victory in October. The Fourteenth District includes Dauphin, Juniata. Northumberland, Snyder, and Union counties. The fluctuating! poli.ics of Harris burp, the capital of the State and the centres of Dauphin County, make or unmake this district, wuich was lost tour years ago by the Republi cans, their candidate, Patterson, ruuuing far below the Union State ticket majority ol 201, but regained by the present representative, tit orge F. Miller, who carried it by 027 majority, the S'ate ticket receiving 121!) 'majority. In 1801) General Hurlrauft eiinied the district by the extraordinary majority of 2038. Mr. Miller is a pood worker iu Congress, and our figures conclusively show the str ength ot his chances iu a i-ceona election on the Mile basis of 527 pre sent majority. The Sixteenth District, which takes In Adams, Bedford, Franklin, Fulton, aud Somerset coun ties, gave General Koontz, the Union candidate, only OH majority in TSUI, uud, more than any other district iu the Stale, may be regirdil doubtful. Chainbernburg and Gettysburg are iu this district, but the sieru experience ol war lias not sulliced to convert its iuveterate and too numerous Conperheails. The present Clerk of the House, Edward McPhorsoii, representative of a portion of thi district under a former ap portionment, ran against A. 13. CoMroth, the Democratic candidate in 18G2, and was defeated by 537 votes. But Governor Curtin, in ln(!3, had 7!l9 majority in the district; and iu lNu'I Geueril Kooutss obtained his seat in Congress over Cot froth by G8 votes. The Demociats have tuken up J. McDowell Sharpe, their stroncest man, to coutest the ground with General KoiuU tbls year, but os the district gave lieneiiil Hartraul't a majority ol 950 iu lst5, ho is not likely to be succeufdul on the unpopularity of the Presi dent's platform. Iu the Twenty-first District, represented by John L. Dawson, Democrat, the Hon. John Covode is running auainst I limb. II. Weir. It Is composed of Fayette, Indiana, and Westmore land counties, aud coutMius the home ot Senator Cowan, in the latter county, (iovernor Curtiu hart a n njonty in the district In 18ii t ot 21:; in 1861 Fuller contested the election witu Dawson; and in 1805, Geueral llarirauit won a majority of 524 tor the Union party. It is, therefore, h field that may bo be won. Of the Union candi date it is nucdlo-B to speak. His services in Coimresb are well known, an 1 he lost a gallant eon iu tho war. He is personally popular. Ou the whole, we can count but one district whTe the Republican-Union ticket is likely to lose, and two or three wherein there Is a pood promise ot gain, Tlie Prealdeut aud lllx Caltluet ou IoumIII utioual Ameuilmeut. i'rom the Herald. The very remarkable and important discla eurcs which we published on Monday In a Wash ington letter to the editor of thla journal, touching the views of the President and his Cabinet aud other official advisers in regard to the great Constitutional amendment now before the country, are facts which we hold sufficient to justify the most sanguine hopes as to the future course of the Administration upon this subject. The letter in queotlon is Irom an intelligent, careful, and trustworthy corres pondent, and his specifications therein we accept accordingly as literally true. Aud what nr,e thene speciticatious 1 They embrace tho important facts that many sauacious politicians lit Washington, from the arguments we have advanced in miprort of the Constitutional nmrndmcnt now belore the Stales hayo becomo "sallfltied that its prompt adoption Is the only course left to head oil' the rad.cals and speedily restore the rebellious States to their proper posi tion in the Union;" that among those who have embraced this opinion are "the Secretary ot the Treasury, the Secretary of War, the Secretary ot the Navy, the Attorney-General and Uenerul Grant;" that l'ostmastcr-tienf ral Rauditl has been profoundly impressed with the teachings of the Maine election, as suggested in recent lhiaUl editorials; and that if in the coming Northern Stale elections, including New York, the popular verdict shall support the judgment ot Maine, the President himself Is prepared, "without more ado, to accept and to advise the South to accept the proposed Constitutional amendment." This, then, is the position of President John son at ibis crisis. It is the position ot a states niBO who wit-cly stands ready to thane bin policy to the prcpsurc of events, the drift of public opinion, and the ndvantaees which may thus be oti( red him in tuklug a new departure. We per ceive,' however, that in a late editorial of a Washington journal, in justification of the Pre sident's opposition to tho aforesaid amendments, it is contended that he has never committed himself to its condition ot universal neero suf frage, ncr to its al'crnativc of "taking from the touth all representation of the negroes." We think, however, that in regard to this section of the amendment, as to all the others, the Presi dent stands sutliclently committed to the prin ciple involved to claim it as covering one of his own recommendation-. In the New Yoik J JrraW of Januarv 29 we find in a telegraphic despatch lrom Washington nn evidently authorized report ol a conversation which took place the day beiore between the"Pre eiuerit and a distmcuished Senator." In the course ol this conversation on the general ques tion of Constitutional amendments, the Pres deiit, alter expressing his iears that such amendments imuhf be carried too far, suggested the following; ns p-obably sufficient to meet the necessities ot the day: Iierresentatives tdjail be apportioned among the pe-vernl (States which mnv bu included wi luu the Union according to the nunilor of qualified voters iu each Mate. Direct taxes shall be apportioned among the fiveral Mates which mav be included within tho Union nccordiLg to the ratio of all taxable propnrty in each Stale. The second branch of this proposition may here De dismissed, tor the Urst covers our case. The leportcr of this interestintr conversation goes on to say that "such an amendment, tue Presidetit also tuupested, would remove from Coupre.-s all issues in reference to the political equality of the races;" that "it would leave the States to deternrne atvolutcly tho quali'ication of their own voters with it-card to color; aud thus the number of representatives to which they would be entitled in Conoress would depend iq,on the number upon which they con ferred the right of sullrage.'' Thcw are the President' woi"J on the occasion referred to; and we simply submit that the nrnendnent sub sequently adopted by Cougress covers his own proposition and his aigument iu rclcrence to butlruge and rcoiesentaMou. In fact, he has a good claim, as the ordinal proposer, in some shape or other, to every condiUoti of the amendment now awuiliua its r.itiiieation by the States. On the 31st dav of January, this reported conversation of "a distinguished Senator with the President" entered into the House d;oate ou reconstruction. Mr. Stevens, of Pennsyl vania, in the progress of this debate charac terized the report of Miid conversation as "the proclamation, tlie command ot th President of the United States made and p it forth by his nuthoriuy'iind "iu direct violation ot the pri vileges of this body;" tnaf, if "mado in that way a few centuries ago to Parliament by a Britr-h king, it would have co:-t him his hea l;" but that "we (meaning Congress) are tolerant of usurpation aud abuse ot power." Thus we find that the rupture between the radicals and the President was made by Stevens upon this proposition of the Vre-ident touching suffrage and representation, which finally, in spite ot Stevens, uud all Ins etVorts to deleat it, became part and parcel of the reconstruction plan of Congress. With the facts and the evidence thus before ns that tho Constitutional amendment passed by Congress is not tho plan ot the radical, but is substantially, Irom lirt to last, the Presi nent's plan it is clearly not only his policy but his right so to claim' Mid urge it upon the Southern States for their r.itiiieation, upon the bioud ground that is their shortest and their onlv sate and easy road to a r-pecdy restoration to Congress. On-lit the South to Ilutlfy! From the World. The limes Monday morning, and the Post the same evening, joined the Ucraid in trying to persuade thc'Vouthern Suits to ratify the pending Constitutional amendment. This advice is ii. f rely a means of recommending the papers which give it to the Northern Republic. ms. As addressed to the South it is perfectly idle, unless there is some reason to suppose the advice will be accepted. It is ns certain as anything in the mmediate luttire that it will bu rejected. This trio of Republican journals may liud nodiUiculty n absolving themselves irom any further alio pit nee to tlie President; but none of them can be ignorant thai (heir warm indorsement of the duel measure of Congress is in open conflict with the viewii of Mr. Johiu-on. When the amendment hud passed, it was not sent to the President lor his approval, because it it had been, it would have been returned witli his veto. Hut Congress unwittingly gave him an opportunity to communicate to them his dislike of the i.mendmcut, by pasiug u resolu tion lequesiing Hint it should be immediately commuuicated" to the executives of the several States. They did not snpuose the resolution would elicit a reply; but in this t hey wero mis taken. Tho President uvailwi himself ot the occasion to send a message condemning the amendment. The Times, therefore, utter tiav inp turned a.'ainst the Albany Convention, has speedily arrayed itself in opposition to Presi dent Johnson, und uses its columns to eulogize tlie pet project of Congrc.s. This trio of Republican journals unite iu pru'.sinp the fairness und justice of the amend ment. Tins is a question which wo will not discuss. Whether tne umeudnicut is fair or not, is a qiie.-ti'jn which each S'ate whose ratitica tion is asked has a right to determine lor itself. Tue North has no reason to object to it if the South chooses to ratify, for it adds to the weight of the North iu Cong re. s. If Ihc South chooses to make a voluntary surrender of a part of the Representatives to which it is entitled by the Constitution, nouoity can dispute lis rignt 10 ao so. Hut, on the other hand, it it choo cs to hold on, vuib a film gripe, to all the Constitution gives it, its lieedom ol action is as perfect and us unquc-tionuble us if it should choose to adopt the otht r course. The chief arpumeut addressed to the South by Its volunteer advisers is a tacit admission that the South considers the amonduioiit neither fair nor just. The South is full Unit it can never pain readmission into i oiiwchh until it ratifies the umcndnient, and that since the sur renderor a part, of its represent uUves will be ex tented, it it be not voluutarily concerted, lint South had better make a virtue ot nerntKlly und submit witu a pood grace. This Is nut u kind of argument which would be mbmltted to com nuiniUes likely to be convinced of tint IhIi im-h of the amendment. Tho voting population of tho S uit Ii hI ol unaninioiisly consider tho amendment iiuiuot, If they should ever consent to ruiity It, H would be only on a calculation of interest, lifter ilmn- doiimg ull hope of justice. It Is only In ilila view thnt it In worth while to discuss Urn 1 1 U II hoed of their ratifying the amendment. The power of the South'iu Congress, whether wll Ii lull or w ith curtailed representation, is iiolhlim without a large Northern support. If the lemiier oi me ftorin u such us to ueuy tue hoiuii nut hope of such mipport altogether, what would the South I'hIii by rutillcution ? It the North were so divided that the admission of the South with a leduced reprcHentailon would give thai section Hie uuiuuce ol power, n would tie a guiuer by submission, Hut so long us the NoitU is unanimously hostile to Southern iiphts the South would be as powerless in Congress as it is out of it. The pretended advantages of Im mediate ratification are therefore lutile and hollow. t The assertion that the exeluded States will have to come to this at lat is not well sup ported. Ii the ten excluded States stand united, the amendment cannot be forced noon them until the number of States Is Increased to forty. True, a few yers may suffice to make this addition; but Kentucky and Maryland will equally decline to ratify, as tlie amend ment would also reduce iir weight in Con giess. Instead of ten non-ratifying Mates there will, therefore, bo twelve; which would require the whole number of States to be increased to forty-eight before the ainendmuut could bo carried, which will not. be iu this peneratiou. Nor is it suppoable that a great part of the white population ot Missouri will be perma nently excluded, us at present, from their political rights. As Missouri is not a nngro suliinge Stute, the parly In power may not choose to hasten its downfall by ratifying the amendment. In that case, there would be thirteen non-rati-fting States, aud thirteen can postpone the adoption ot the amendment until the number of Slates is increased to titty-two, which is a greater number of States than we are ever likely to have the Territories being only nine, and the pnscnt thirty-six States being sixteen less than fifty-two. Even when the whole seven Terri tories shall have become States, eleven non latiljing States will suffice to defeat the an-cndincnt. So far Is It from being true that the amendment must prevail at lust, it the South shnll BteacHly resist It. Even if tho South were willing to purchase admission by surrendering a part of its repre sentatives, it bas no assurance that it could bo admitted by making tho sacrifice. Congress 1 as told the Southern States nothing ot the kind, and they would be foolish to pay the price without a pledge from this slippery Congress that it would not be paid in vain. The journals which are obtruding their advice to ratity at once would be better employed in advising Ccnercs to furnish such a pledge. Until this is eione, the advice, if ever so reasonable iu itself, is premature. Will the trio of Republican journals which are uiping immediate ratification by the Southern Slates, tell us what course they propose to take if those States persistently stand out, aud insist on their constitutional rights? Tlie Political t'niivnss-Tlie Drift of Pub lic Stutliiitut. from the Times. It is very evident that the public mind dreads the renewed ascendancy of the Democratic party more than it doer, the continued exclusion of the Southern States. While it lepaids the latter as a temporary inconvenience, involving no important or lasting consequences, U looks upon the former as full of permanent peril to tlie country. Perhaps, too, a sentiment ed jus ticehas quite as much to do with this iecliusr as uuy oi-itiuct fortbodinir of specific evil. What the Democratic party would do if fully rein stated in power by what deli nite action it would damage the future of the nation those who drtatl it niosr might not bo able to say. but there is no difliculty whatever in feeling that Ihe party which opposed the Government duriup tho war ought not to asi-uine control of it when the war is over. The instinct of the country ia that tho.-e who stood by it during its tune of peril snould have charge of its fortunes when the dapper has passed. This teiitinicut underlies the resolute resist ance of the people to the su upule of the Lieino cratic party lor a renewal of power. All other issues are overlooked. Nobody stops to discuss questions ol constitutional lart'or to canvass the cUances of auothcr war. The right of repre sentation the. scope of the power coulcrred upon I'onurcss the effect of hostile IcEishuiou upon public sentiment in the Southern States, these end other topics of grave importunes are dismissed, as having nothing to do with the immediate issues to be tirst .decided. They are rohitoued to some more convenient cuson. The Mitth feels conscious ot its power to crush opposition, and to insist upon such measure as it deems essential to the public :ood. The Democratic party t.as clearly oven cached it pelt in its contest for renewed cscendaucy. Throuehoi't the war it gave ihe Coveriiuieni lio support. As an oraanizution it resisted itcuorls to suppress the Ueocllion. U denounced its Colicy, condemned as usurpation the measures y which it thwarted Nortiieru sympathy with secession, and did everything iu its power to overthrow the Administration by which the conlcbt was carried on. That it did not succeed was owing to the fact that the people cared more lor the country than they did for the Democratic party. And it will owe its lailure to the same cause now. While we believe the urcat body of the people desire the i-poedy restoration of peace und harmony to tue I'liiou, they are not inclined to purchase this at the cost of restoring the Demo cratic party to power. They will trust the work ol restoration lo the Union jiaity, and to none other. They find it much easier to check the excesses, au I rebuke the lamiriciil passions of its extreme and reck less men, than to infuse into the Democratic organization the smrit of pi oarers, of reform, and ot political liberty which 'the cuienreucics of tho time eletnanel. They iiud that party still tilled with all the narrow uud illiberal preju dices which marl; ed its action before the war. The fame L idled ot theco.orel race the same unwillingness to exteud and broaden the basis of our free, mstit ntioiiB tho same attachment j lo caste and arbitrary distiuetuius in the dis- tiibutiouol poli'ical power - tho same clamor tcrthe largest license to vice and immorality. I mid the same lack of swniialby with all efforts tt. elevate the degraded und to improve the con dition of the if. noi ant uud dosvu-trodden mem bers ot our n. publican tociety nun k its action now as belore the great tempest winch, in sweeping away hutntwi slavery, has de-troyed the great bulwark of all the iiijuotice aud all the inequality by which our tree institutions wero tle.ioriiicd und ami-red. The people will not triihi that mirtv with the reorganization ot our iwilii.ieui sociefv. Tbev dread its lnllueuce on uaiionul uiiairs. Thcv diead especially ihe alli auce it will form with whutevei remains of the influences of tltvery in the Southern States. And they mean to avert this dauber by exclu ding the Denioci at ic party trom power. When tli s shall have been nccomollsbcd, we dnidit not the i.eonle w ill uive attention to the snecitic work ol restoration. Wo do not believe uublic opinion will surrender iiseli to the wild i-chenies with which cxtrciuisis and lunatics now ulternatelv amuse and alarm the public mind. What ih people now seek, with such imsHieuiiito iinriHihC and such rtsolute determi nation, Is net ncgio-biiflruao. nor confiscation, nor the ilrtTi.ilutKni ol the Southern States, nor the cxtci munition by lire, famine, and slanehtcr ii the notiu ulloii ot the hoiiineru btates. Tnese piciiHing projects are left to please the congenial litncies ol Parson tsrowniow, or to serve as stiilkiriir hor-cH upon which Colonel Forney may delude lumscll wul pratelul dreams ot his owu linnortiinco.
