The liability on all UwJs eeaaee when they are rtady for deiJvarv at the Stations to which they are ippaars fn>m the subjoined resolution of the The Struggle lor tUc Sj»e*ken»lilii. Though this contest ha* not yet been determined, and may assume n number of phases before its conclusion, its develop ments so far are worthy of consideration. In the first place, the only party that madfl a caucus nomination was tbo Democ racy. They know their utler inability to elect any member by their own votes alone, and they know that a caucus nomination would be an objection to their candidate with members of other parties. Yet they determined to adhere to their parly organi sation, though they thereby shut out the Southern Opposition, numbering, ns the ballotings show, more votes than that por tion of tho Northern Democracy who vote fur their caucus nominee. Ily pursuing this course, the Congressional Democracy have, #e presume, shut*the mouth* of some Democratic editors who censured us for advising tho Southern Opposition to select a candidate of their own and adhere to him to tho end—the Democracy being, like tho Southern Opposition, in a hopeless minor ity, nud hnving no earthly chanco to elect a Speaker by thrrnsrlves. They t Southern Opposition to "do as they tell them, not os they t/o**! Agoin, the failurdfctf the Illack Republi cans to present a caucus candidate streng thens tbo reports that a number of the Northern Opposition members intend tu repudiate thot organization. Some of thrrn, so intending, will vote for a Black Repub lican running without u p-uly nomination, but will not clearly esmmit themselves to the organization by caucussing with it. And several of them have*refused to vole for a Black Republican at nil—Messrs. Briggs and Carter, of New York, steadily, and Messrs. Nixon and Stratton, of New Jersey, part of the tipie. With all the Northern Opposition member* present (114), Sher man’s highest vote so far bus been 110. The ballotings disclose n fact which wo have heretofore predicted, viz.: that if every Southern Opposition member had on every balloting voted for the Democratic caucus nominee (a very unreasonable supposition), be would nut have been elected. The high est vote tho Democracy have yet obtained for him was U8, and tho addition of the «;t Southern Opposition members would only make 111. Seven of the Anti-LecOtnpton Democrats (nil except the Illinois members) have voted ull tbo time for ono or more of their own number; and it is grneially believed at Washington that these seven will ultimately co-operate with tho Black Republicans, either by voting for their ineu or by supporlfng the plurality rule, tho adoption o( which would undoubtedly secure tho choice of a Black Republican Speoker. Indeed, a Douglas Democrat bus already proposed nn election under tho plurality rule. When tbo House adjourned on Sat urday, this motion, made by Hickman of i’a., was pending, ii six of the Northern Democrats unite with tho Black Republi cans in sustaining it, it will lie carried, and a Republican Speaker and Dougin* Clerk will then bo olerted at once. Whether tbo motion now carrira or not, there will no doubt be a coalition between these two par ties by which the Hohso will tinnlly bo organized. Our readers will remember Unit tWin is the result wo conjectured sumo time ago. We nre nmv more than evor satisfied that it can only ho defeated by u small portion of the Northern Opposition (incor rectly classed ss Black Republicans) voting against it. But the plurality rule, like all other bid precedents in legislation, bus Democialic authority and practice |o sustain it, and this fact will probably ensblo tho Black Republicans to carry it not Tbo Democratic Squabble* In Ihi* quarter of the State there i* u general protest by the Democracy ngrinst tho action of tfffjr Intc State Convention at Millcdgrville. But it must not be supposed that a like general opposition to it prevails throughout the State. On the contrary, there are already indications that the friend* of Cobb and Johnson will make a strong effort to have their Convention and its acts approved by the people. The Milledgetille Federal Union, Atlanta Intelligencer, ami other intluei^iul Democratic paper*, strongly advocate this course; ami we see that the Democratic meeting held on the 10th i»»L in Baldwin county for tho purpose of nom inating a county ticket unanimously "en dorsed tho action of tho Democratic State Convention.” The Federal In ion adduces Democratic precodent to sustuin tho course pursued by the member* of the Legislature (we believe, by the way, that them is Dem ocratic preccdentdfco sustain everything), and opposes the selection of delegates to Charleston by District* on thu ground that tho "delegation should bo n unit”-—from wl*ich w e Infer that the delegates appointed are a unit in support of Cobb, and in sup port of somebody else us a second choice when they have to give up Cobb. Is that second choice Douglas I There is in this section a personal pref- rence for Senotor, which mtlut neca the njority of tho Democracy in repudiating (ho Convention. But this preference lor Senator Iverson does r.ot exoit a similar inlluenco in other parts ot the State, i daily in those in which Johnson and Cobb nre Abo favorites. Our rampant rebvlln us Democracy, therefore, must not bo too con fident of their strength in assailing the Convention, and should have an eye to the formidable nrrny of tho "unwashed” faction with which they ore about to come Into collision. Our extreme anxiety lor -Hare and harmony us a party constrains to give them this timely admonition exhort them to be discreet and moderate. Correspondent of the Pavannsh News.

But her rejection will ro-opon tho interminable ••Kaunas qmrtlion, und make it an important element in (ho next Presidential contest, as it was in the lust.

This motion to adjourn did not prevail, and the second District retired. The call of the counties was commenced.

A good many gentle . their names, but stating, though unaii* tborized, they would assume to net. Others would not take any unauthorized authority upon themselves. (Is it not questionable, tho authority ol members to, assume that they arc delegates.

Putnom. slated that the democracy of rheir counties had deprecated this conven- , and requested them to protest against nd to entreat the delegates to put oil this convt iition till March.
