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. i Koine Courier unit South Americans , 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 • ! the Eighth District,and the true cause • mod, to wit: their Northern allies Id not be depended on in this cxi- vi.ey. Tho wfiolo of this shifting and •■c oming policy, on the part of tho - ‘U National ii.iftuoariocs Democratic rty, i« patent toevery observing mind, t.d should make editors of Democratic ;per», even of "Urn hugest hi Chero- .•r, Ga.,” exceedingly cautious in pro- rring charges of "treachery” against as Modmen and ns fruo patriots,'nssuiv they lsiy l»e able to boast of in their party or- ;nuizution-’-comprising as It docs such •it :i a-< those mentioned in the extract rom tho Charleston "Mercury, which vro ; [n-nd, and recommend to our ipterrog- tor in his Investigation into tlio posi- "U of his contemporaries: •* As a measure of policy, looking to .lu* iiituro, it becomes all Southern men, vc think, to unite in dofonoo of the .

Every State in the South, wc doubt not, is\eudy to go into n general convention of all the States, If the Northern States assent to the proposition, tho South will either have the guarantees necessary to- her what the document contains or not? Under this rule, lie would have the right to aver—prom isi nun I Ways that his conscience should purl like of the nature of India rubber—that Im never mount to oniinetid what should ap- pe.u-on the face of the writing.
