THE NEXT CONUISW.
The two House* of Congress will convene on
Momiav nest ; anti various coocutriog accounts lead
us to apprehend a great state of rxcitrntrnl in the
first stages of its organization. It has been the cus
tom heretofore,—though a custom not sanctioned by
the constitution A: laws, and resting alone upon pre
cedent, (the precedent itself being founded inconve
nience,)— for the Clerk of the preceding House to
superintenil its organization upon the opening of
a new Congress ; and this he does hy crlling over
the names of the member! elect* as he lias been ena
bled to collect them from the newspaper reports of
elections. As our readers may already be apprized,
the expediency of ibis mode of organization has
herelolore been callrd in question, front its liability to
abase ; but as no inconvenience has heretofore been
experienced, it has been up to this period acquiesced
in by ills members. A case ha* now arisen, however,
in which the old Cieilt. it he be so disposed. may
alter the whole political complexion of the House,
by placing on his roll, as members elect, five names
from New Jersey, w’ o claim to hare received a ma
jority of the votes at the last election in that State,
and excluding five ethers, who have certainly
the beet evidence of a right to the contrsteil seal*,
in the certificate of the returning officer. We do not
say that Mr. Gailantl will pursue this course, We
hope he will not : as we are sure lie will not unless
lie deem the act a defensible and proper one. But,
leaving nut of view entirely his obligations, we think
it is I igh time that the House of Representatives
had devolved this delicate responsibility upon ano
ther tnbunal; for it is, in fact, making an Hi
Clerk the sole judge, for the lime being, of the quali
fications of members—and in that lime, by the volei
of persons improperly admitted to seats, a Speaker,
a Clerk, anti ntlier officers may be elected, and mea
sures may be adopted, by a minority of the true rep
resentatives < f the people, aided by the votes of
nlhets who have on claim to that title whatever.—
And besides what right lias an Ex-Clerk to assume
this duty at all ? If. upon the election ofthat officer.
lie be superseded, his functions cea«e upon the in
stant : but what right lias lie to assume those func
tions at all ? A Clerk is elected to art during the
existence of the Congress which elected him : what
rii;ht has he upon the opening of a nrtc Congress, to
put on the rnhes of an ufTicc. the duties of which, so
far as he is concerned, ceased with the expiration of
the official existence of ns predecessor 1 It may be
said, that lie bases Ins light upon uninterrupted pre
cedent- That might be a good plea if our's were a
government of precedents. But we utterly repudiate
them, especially in cases like the present, where the
custom itself is one ol'courlesv, and not of obliga
tion. We see the dangers tu which it may lead. A
Cletk may place upon his list the names of members
who metc never even voted for, to the exclusion of
others, of whose elect on not the shadow of a doubt
is entcitained, for the purpose of securing his own
elect ion, w liich, having hern elf- cted, it matters ve
ry little with him that ins judgment is subsequently
n-ver-e.I, by the ejection limn the Hall, of those
whom he had improperly admitted, and the acknow
ledgment of the rights of those whom he had unjust
ly excluded. 11 it be said that such an act would not
be tolerated, we ask where is the remedy, if it lie noi
m the denial of the Kx Clerk to officiate at all in the
organization of a new Congress ! It lie has a right,
for example, to say that the live Whig members fioin
New Jersey are not entitled to their seats, though
they carry in their pockets ceitificatet of their elec
tion,and that the Van Buren claimants are entitled to
seats, though they have no such certificates, what is
to hinder Inin from excluding any o iler obnoxious
member, m favor of some oilier c la i Hi alit whose po
litical opinions or pcisonal preferences are in unison
with Ills own ? Suppose, lor example, A. a Van Buren
man, should present himself to the House with a false
statement of the polls from a district in which II, a
Whig, was elected bv a decided majority, and de
clare that, although H iiad the Sheriff's certificate,
he. A, was in fact elected—would the Kx Clerk have
a light Inset aside the certificate, and, relying upoti
A's assertion, backed I y bis statement, enroll the
latter as a member elect ? Vet this is precisely the
New Jersey case—(he five Whig members from that
Slate present their rcrt’ficates to the Kx-Clerk,—
while llit* five Van Buren members present a state
ment of the polls, purporting that at the last election
they received a majority of the votes, and that they
had been fraudulently deprived of their certificates,—
by what evidence ought lie to be governed—by the
certificate if the returning officer, nr by the in
terested statement of the adverse party ? No one
can doubt that the former i> the best evidence—nay,
that it is ihe only evidence m the case ? Yet, if the
right of the Kx-Clerk to decide, upon Ins own mere
will, w ho are at d who are not menibeis.be conceded,
is it not apparent that he may exclude, if he pleases,
at least until his own re-election shall have been se
cured, the actual representatives, and admit to seats
men who may not only not have received a major
ity of the votes, but who may absolutely never have
been voted for at f II ?
1 nose remarks, it will be seen, have reference |
exclusively to the abstract right of the Ex-Clerk to
asauu.e ami exercise liie prerogative in quesiion._
They have uo bearing upon the merits of the New
Jersey case at all. They only determine that the
Ex-Cletk has nought to adjudicate the que-tion and
to decide between the contesting and the returned
members, in advance of the House, with which, in
fact,he lias 1,0 official connection, and over which, in
the preliminary stages of its organization, he has been
heretofore permitted to preside by courtesy.
The same arguments, except so far as the right
lo decide the question ultimately, is iuvolyetl, are
applicable to the action of the House itself. We
tlonot deny its right, of course, lo determine upon
the eligibility of its members—but we do contend
that it cannot, in the incipient stages of the in
vestigation. look an inch beyond tl)c certificate of
the returning officers. That is „„t only the best,
but it it the only evidence before them. The assu
rance of contesting candidates that they received a
m jontv Ol vote- may of may not be irue—that is
the very point to be investigated. Jt is the igsus
which is to bs determined by other testimony, Jf
their assertion is lo be received as conclusive of the
lal.ity of the certificate, titan all further esamineimn
ts precluded by this premature adyudifalipp of the
question. And in tins opinion we a.e sustained by
repealed decisions oft he House beret,,lore, and by'
the speeches of sop, e of the strongest I.nco p„co
members of that body . For some of tbrs, decigtou,

and their seats were vacated.
Another case, of older date, but well retnendie
ed: At the Congress which begun its firs( $ r’
on the 24th day of May IB13, John M. Bowi,, ' ,)n
turned as n Member of Congress from the State id \ ■
Yoik, took his seat, though it was not denied "t
a majority of setrtal hit tidied votes had bei n gi»e„

than him. It waa not uodi the 9&J of tin „

House, and Mr. Bowers was allowed lo tetain i,','
seat to the sod of that Extra Session, and til' ,|le
1 firh day of December, in the session foll„«ino'
when by a unanimnvi vote of die House, Mi. Iiim, „
was ousted, and Isaac Williams, Jr. admitted
to a seat in bis place, to which lie was rrpoiiLM) |,v
ihe Conttniiiee of Election* to be undoubtedly
tied.
'* In trie celebrated ca«e of Messrs. Letcher and
Moore, in which Mr. Moore had the return, ai d Mi
Lereher the right to tips seat, which both wrre pre
fect to claim, it is is true that neitlm was avl itiittv-d u,
the privileges of a Member; but (his was the result of
an agreement between the parties, in order to save the
time of the House, to waive their respective rights. —
Yet, id reference to that case, it was contended by
the friemU of Messrs. Claiborne and GhoUotx at the
last Congress, that the House ought to have allow
ed Mr. Moore to take his se,.t *• when lie presented
his certificate ol election.**• This rase, therefore
if no exception to the rule established by the uuv»
ried practice of fifty yeats.”
The force of the reasoning upon which the foi«»
going decisions is founded, is apparent at a glance.
A certificate oi election is the only evtdenre of any
man's right to a teat in the House. If it were ot||.
etwise.or if it be determined that a certificate and die
opposing assertion of a contesting claimant »rc of
equal validity, it is easy to perceive that all certainty
is at an end, and that the door is opened to endless
confusion and fraud,
We say no'hing specially of the New Jersey case
That we shall leave to hr decided by the proper au
thority. We only assert principles applicable to
every case, and by which that case, like all other!),
ought to be tested : and we state it now, because,
while we hope there may no difficulty grow out of
its settlement, we foresee that an excitement rim
be produced unfavorable to a calm and dispassionate
consideration of the facts, to which we now in ad
vance, invite the attention of our traders.
* To verify this slntcmeneof (lie esse, we copy from the
(•lobe the report of the remarks made on the. occasion oft Its
objection to Messrs. Claiborne mu! GlioLot, taking their
seals, by Mr. Rynuin, ns follows :
“Mr. Bynum contended dint the two gentlemen from .Mis
sissippi were entitled to take their seats and qualify ; and that
the motion submitted by the gentleman from \ irginiu wus- en
tirely unprecedented. in cases vj contested elections, the
member exhibiting to the House prima facie evidence of hit
flee (ion teas permitted to take his seat and qualify. Thru
he considered that the present ense was much monger than
dial ol a contested election ; because, in the present cusp, the
right of the gentlemen to their seats wns not contested in tls*
usual manner. He hoped the House would proceed in its or
ganization, in the manner heretofore pursued, and according
to parliamentary usage. Gentlemen had referred In th* rn*c
of Moore uthl Letcher in support of their argument*. Ti nt
case might, perhaps, be a ense remotely in point . but lie ci «•
tended that the House ought then to have allowed Mr. Moore
to take his seal when he presented his certificate of election.'
Mr. Francis Thomas, of Maryland, another of the fiieadsnf
Messrs. GIioUoii and Claiborne, is reported in llie Mine pa
per to huve expressed himself on the occasion ns follows '
'•One of the members elect from Mississippi has already told
you he will repair to the table to be sworn. And ill tin* li*
is right. Who shall infringe the principle for which lie con
tends I He is one of die chosen represental'ves of tin1 people
of Mississippi. He has with him a certificate of election
signed by the Horernnr of that State. He appears hrrr.uith
his colleague, with the same power to take his sent /hat vf
each hare. And they hare as much authority to question < ur
right to be sworn as we hare to dispute theirs,'

members of Congress, the mnjoriiies of the Whig candidal'*
were upwaids of 2000. The Whig loss, therefore, is already
greater than their whole majority at that time; and though

carried majorities in both Houses of the State Lrgishuun1,
which secures the re-election of Mr. Walker to the l\ S.
nate.
