TUESDAY MORNING, Jnu’y IT.
nssooiaUpHo If iho Southorn Democrats
stood in this position, wo liayo not a
doubt that thoy would receive tho hear
ty support of tho greater portion of tho
South Americans. Mr. McKao, it ap
pears to us, for tho abovo reasons, is not
entirely justifiable In hisolinrgo, that to
tho South Americans is propelly nttril-u-
tnblo tho failure of the House of Repre
sentative* tft elect.fi Speaker.

, in Congress.
Under tho above caption a number of
interrogatories appeared in tlio South-
ovner” of lust weok in relation to our
approval nr disapproval of tho action of
tho Southern opposition members of
Congress in tho contest for tbo Speaker
ship. Any ono wlio 1ms read with a do-
• ire to be informed tho proceedings in
the House, cannot fall to discover that
those questions evince considerable ig
norance of tho true position of parties
in Washington, or that it is another of
thoao miserable, but ineffectual cflorts
to shift from their own shoulders upon
those of othors, tho responsibility rest
i:ig upon tho Democratic party fora fail-
uro to organizetho Congress of tho Unl-
tocLStptes. Tho following resolutions
were recently passed by the two llou*
oh of tlic Legislature of the State of
Virginia.
"Re.solved, That wo recommend in
view of tho public danger, the union of
.11 tho oloments -of Opposition to Re
publicanism and it* caml date for Spea
ker, on any terms consistent with fuir-
ness and honor, whoresoovor by such
union its defeat can bo accomplished,
and tho organisation of tho llouso bo
i-flccted
This resolution passed by a Demo
cratic Legislature breathes tho spirit
which should animate tho breast aiHl
control tho actions of every patriot and
and every man ot the South truo to her
honor and her interests. Wo heartily
endorse it, undin our humblojudgmcnt
whon the enemies of tho South and tho
< 'institution aro marshalling their dark
hosts, and their traitorous .hearts
: welling with snnguino anticipations of
victory, and their foul lips "breathing
out threateningsand slaughter” against
our institutions and against oursolvcs,
i t is no tirno for us to be divided among
oursolvcs, no timo for crimination, and
•■-crimination, no timo for partisan feei
ng to gain sunk an ascendency in our
midst us to induco representatives of a
so-called national party to disregard tho
voice of patriotism in ordor to preservo
.1 party organization now in the last sta
ges of dissolution, or to permit an Edi
tor in his blind Seal, to’apply such an
epithet as "treachery” to mon fighting a
common foe, and identified with him
in everything oxcept party, simply lio-
cause they refuso to throw away their
votes upon a man whom thoro is no pos
sible chance of electing. Tho proposi
tion 1ms been made to tho Domoerats in
the Houso by tho Southern Opposition
members, that when tho Democratic
candidate obtained a sufficient number
ofvotes to enable the latter, holding tho
balance of power, to elect him and de
feat Sherman they would cast their votes
for him,provided tho Democrats would
• vote fpr a Southern Opposition cundi
. date whore by so doing tho samo end
could be attained. This proposition
'dently so "consistent with fuirnegs and
honor” wos^rqjected. And the reason U
apparent. Because tho'Democraticcnn
ilidato never had boon and never would
bo placed in that position where the
Southern Opposition members could se-
euro his election. And in support of
this assertion wo givo tho following ex
tract from the Washington News, and
it is Democratic authority that we doubt
"not tho fjoutherner will not impeach,
noticing the return of Hon. J. J. Jones
tVom’Washington city tho News says:
"Mr. .Tones informs us that thoro was
not tho least prospect of electing a
Speaker at tho time ho left, nor has any
thing transpired oven from tho begin 1
uing, that would point to a solution of
the difficulty under which tho House is
now laboring. 11c says further, that
the Southern Democrats aro willing to
ooalesco with, and vote for a Southern
Vmerican, if it would avail anything,
and if they bo ullowed to choose the
man ; but some Northern Democrats
rannot be brought to do it, for the for
eign element being a power in their Con:
gressional districts, would seal tho polit-
cal death warrant of any ono who
hould, even under tho present ciroum-
tances, support an American for tho
speakership.”
On tho other hand tho Southern Op-
candidate, on two occasions, on
tbo lowfcmid22il of December, received
votes enough, with tho aid of. tbo Demo
< rats, to have been elected. And tho
frivolous reasons given by them for
“throwing away their votes, and indi
rectly lending their aid to tho election
of Sherman to the Spcarkeiship” and
"multiplying the chances of his elec
tion”—that Gilmer was not sound
enough for them, and had received He-
i.ublicnti votes—are exposed by Mr.
..i.-ics, the. Democratic Hepresentativo

Tiik Slaverv Question.— Change of
Front in Republican .Papers.—The New
York Courier A Enquirer, edited by
James Watson Webb, emphatically
says “slavery is entitled to every par
ticle of protection which the ConstU,
tution affords it. It may not bn med
dled with, either by the General Gov
ernment or tho people ofthe tree States
and it is the duty of tho General Gov
ernment to protect the institution
where it exists, and to frown down all
interference from abroad.”
The New York Times, oneo a great
Republican organ, has also come to con
servative conclusions, ami demands that
th** slavery agitation shall stop, it says
that "if wo are not really the blindest,
people that ever existed, atul. judicious-
sot apart for dostruet ion, wo ought now
to begin to see that tlio most important:
political work we have todo, is to combine
as one people, in the resolve to put this social
question qt slavery out of the reach of par-,
tisan ayitaturs. It is a madness—to which
tlio madness of John Brown wus states
manlike good some—to trifle’any long-,
er in’ caucuses nml conventions with the.
issues so full of tho very life’s blood of
ono great section of the Confederacy,—
Tho Soutli owes it to herself to press
this view of the matter clatnly upon tho
mind; and she may rest assured that her
appeal to the practical conservatism of
the free States will not he made in vain
if it he made temperately, earnestly and
in good faith.”
Horrible—A Child ItoiiMod Alite.
Gne of the most harrowing incident:
wo have ever recorded occurred a few

doubtless thinking tho’children were
