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

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

This motion to adjourn did not prevail, and

The call of the counties was commenced.
Mr. Hal!, of Mcriwotber, from the 4th,

and several ot his friends (ccling as lie did,

would not take any unauthorized authority
upon themselves. (Is it not questionable,
tho authority ol members to, assume that
they arc delegates. Chatham oertoinly has
delegated her members the representn-
o in tin* cun vein ion of the demccrotic

Arachne, daughter of idtnon, n dyer of
purple at Calophou, in Ionio, wa*a maiden
who had attained such skill in the art* of
wearing and embroidery, that the Nymphs
themselves would leave their groves and
fountain* to come ami gaze upon her work.
It was not only beautiful when it was done,
but beautiful also in the doing. To Watch
her as she took the wool in its rude stale,
and formed It into nils, or separated it with
her fingers, ami curded it till it looked ns
bright and soft a* a cloud, or twirled the
spindlo with a i>kiJlful touch, or wove tho
web, -or, alter it was woven, adorned it with
l.«r needle, one would have said that Min
erva herself, the Goddess of Wisdom, had
tnughl her. But this she denied, and could
not bear to bo thought a pupil even of n
(members) gavo goddess.
“Let Minerva try her skill with mine,”
said she, "and if beaten I will pay the pen
alty.” Mineiva hwird this, und wo* dis
pleased. 8hn ussuined the form of nn old
woman, and'went and gnvo Arachne some
friendly advice. “I have hud much expe
rience,*' said she, "and 1 liopo you will not
deepiso tny counsel. ChslU-ngu your tcl-
low mortal* us you will, but do nolcompi-lo
with u goddess. On the contrary, I advise
you to ask her forgiveness for what you
have ua id, and, an she is merciful, perhaps
she will forgive you." Aruchno stopped her
spinnings, and looked at the old dame with
anger in her countenance. "Keep your
coansel,” void she, "for your daughters, or
hand-maids. For iny part, 1 know what I
•ay, und I eland to it. 1 am not a afraid of
the goddess ; let her try her skill, if she dare
Venture.” “fcSht* comes," said Minerva,
id dropping her disguise, stood confessed.
The nymph* bent low in lioniugo, and ull
the by slander* paid reverence. Arachne
no was unfortified. She blushed, indued;
id din color dyed her check, and then she
w pale. Bui she stood to her resolve,
and with n foolish conceit of her own skill
mailed on her late. Minerva forboro no
iger, nor interposed any futlhor advice.—
tey proceed to the contest :
Minerva wrought on her web the scene of
r contest with Neptune. Arachne lillrd
r web with subjects designed chosen, and
•llderfully well done, exhibiting the fail-
4* and errors of the god*, but strongly
marking her prceumption und impiety.
Minerva could not forbear lo admire, yet
t indignant at tho insult. Nhu struck tho
•h with her shuttle', ami rent it iu pieces;
she then touched the forehead of Aruclitio,
>1 made her feel her guilt and shame. Bho
could not endure it, and went and hanged
Minerva pitied her nu she saw her
suspended by a rope. ‘•Live,” sho said,
Ity woman ! and that you may preserve
tho memory ol this losson, continue to hang
ull future limes.” Miu sprinkled her
with juices i t aconite, and immediately hot
hair cuino off, and her nose and cars like
lier form shrank up, and her head
grew smaller yet ; her fingers cleaved to her
side, and served lor legs. All tho lest of
her body, out of which she spin* her thread,
often hanging suspended by it in tho sumo
ntininlo as when Minerva touched her, und
truiioloitiled her into a spider.

Depend upon it, such n withdrawal with-
it any fanfaronade—without blowing uny
trumpets, or making ourselves in any way
ridiculous, would open eyes wide that are
• almost hermetically sealed. In other
de, it is the pocket argument, and w*>
believe that it is tbo only ono that is now
available. It is an argument that can he

pork ; our own fire arms, shoes, furniture,

own wool; iu a word it will extend to tho
growth and munfacturo of every article that

The execution of Brown, it is staled, has

pending doom, and making religious prepa

Cook evidently has not yet abandoned his
