The .*i»eaker»ti!p--Who is Responsible ?
The editor of the Savannah Republican, who is
in Washington City, in a letter to his paper, from
which we make the subjoined extract, exposes fee
hollowness of Democratic professions, in reference
to the Speakership. The truth is apparent, that
their motto is, to elect a Black Republican or
a Democrat! Let the people read aud ponder'.
Washington, Dec 22.— Congress is still unor
ganized, for waul of a Speaker in the House. Like
“Octoroon ’ at the Winter Garden of New York,
4 Old Browr.,” and the ‘ Impending Crieia" are the
regular programme with our Representatives, from
day to day. The only d.fferemce is, the “ect”
is changed in the la.ter upon every exhibition.
The action, though, comes, almost exclusively, from
the Democratic party, who reap the Republicans
without mercy and oUiai that the latter who re
commended Helper's book are in law and before
high Heaven acoeesoriea before the fact in the crime
and tree Min of Old Brown. Toe iatter sit quietly
on their side ts the Hail and seem perfectly passive
under the merciitrs blows of their adversaries.—
This is in accordaLCe with Greeley's order, and, as
Mr. Dickinton, of Louisiana, told them yesterday,
they dare not disobey their master. ’
As regards the matter of organization, and the
responsibility for the failure, a close attention for
two days to the debates in the House has
only served to confirm tie opinions advanced
in the Republican of the 17th instant. The Demo
crats have no man whom they can place in a posi
lion among thems? cr* when the entire force of the
Southern Opposition united with their own, would
be sufficient to elect him. They have been ch&l
lei ged to do it, to announce their readiness to the
Opposition, who have obligated them elveh in that
event to enter &in a proposition fur a union. They
are unable to do it, from the simple fact, that they
cannot command the Anti Lecomptou wing of
Uieir '»%rty. The Democracy are thus powerless,
and the unanimous co-operation of the Southern
Opposition on their candidate, will not help them
out of the difficulty and defeat the Republican can
aida’e, which, conteseediy at least, is the grea’ ccn
servative aLd partriotic object in view. I bave
heretofore intonated that were the Democracy
wiiiicg to do right, a southern Speaker could pro
bably be elected, and the great end in view—the
aeleal of a Back Republican c rganiza:ion—ob-
tained. The events oi to day have removed the
last shadow of doubt from the question and fixed
the responsibility eleatly ana incoutrovertibly,
where it properly beioDgs. Let th 9 country lcok
at the tacts, end form an noocet. impartial judgment
in the premise*.
During‘he last night the Opposition bad a con
sultation, and ascertained that they could concen
trae a sufficient number of votes upon Mr. Gilmer,
of North Carolina, a true Southern man, to elect
him, provided the Democracy would cast their
eighty eight av&i.able votes lor the came gentle*
n. ac. Here was a plain, fair, prejticjl and *ure
pan for defeating the Back Republicans and
organizing the House forthwith. The frit wn
am ..uiiied tL> momi'g Ly Mr. St ,<aes.of Maty
* i. .d, and he exhorted the Democrats to forget
party end elevate themselves 1) the level of their
high dat es to the South and the country. What
did ti -y do * Let the South read it in a word :
TLey rejected Ike prop ?. .on, ond token the vote
irat taken every one of tin.m toted for a 1 democratic
candidate ! It was completely w.tfaiu their power
to elect Gilmer w.thout the afo of their Anti
I*ecompton brethren, and they refnsed to do it,
leaving the Houee still nnorganiz-1, and rendering
the election of a Black Republican Speaker, by a
plurality vote, certain.
The mail is about closing while the House is en
gaged in a second vote, without any l .t’jr pros
pect of an election, aud I have no time for com
ment. The facts though epsak for themselves, aud
in thunder tones. v *
It is worthy of note that yesterday, the entire
Georgia delegation voted for Gen. Mil a Vir
ginia Democrat. Other Southern Opposition men
besides Messrs. Hil. and Hardman, also voted for
him.
It is still worthier of note that the entire Dsmo
< ratio vote was cost for Gen. Miilsou, who wee the
only man from Virginia, who voted against the
Kansas Nebiesba bill a few years ago' It may
now be asked with some degree of force, “Where's

Secret Caucus of Leadiko Black Republi
can.—The Washington correspondent of the New
York Herald !, eaya :
Some disclosures have juat been communicated
to a leading republican in this city, which occurred
in the secret caucus of the leading black rtpubli
cans convened la°t week at the Aator House, in ad
vance of the meeting of the Republican Committee.
S jme foity or fitly leading chiels were summoned
privately, including Gov. Banks, Gov. Morgan,
Messrs. Fessenden, Wilson, Lincoln, Cameron,
Dayton, and G v. Chese, to deliberate on the pro
gramme of 1800. There was much discussion on
the presenf tspect of affairs, and great harmony of
opinion that the times called for more liberality and
conservatism; that the “irrepressible conflict' 1 must
be ignored for the present, and all the elements of
opposition gathered on some ench names sc Bates,
of Missouri, for President, and Morgan or Banks
fcr Vice-President. It wss pledged that Pennsyl
vania and New Jersey could both be relied on for
lin es, hie views on the tariff being acceptable to
these States. It was pledged that thousands of old
Wh.gs now voting ior Democrats in Illinois, Indi
ana and Ohio, could be relied on for Bates ; that
teetotal ticket*} could be run in all the border slave
Mates, with a fair proepect of success.
Maryland, Delaware and Miseouri were eet
down ascertain. It was urged that Bates had
never been mixed up with the Know
that be was opposed to the extension of slavery,
but national in nis views, and to whose inaugura
tion the South could offer no resistencr. The proe
pect of Southern submiteion to Seward s election
was thoroughly canva tsed. Some took the ground
that the South would not resist, but all agreed better
not risk it in the present inflamed state of Southern
fueling. W eed and Morgan were nuwillisg that
Seward ehouid be ILub cast aside, and uttered their
solemn proteet against it. It was at this secret
inteung that the call adopted by the Republican
Committee was arranged so as to unite the opposi
tion. They even went so far ss to discuss the
question of a Cabinet programme, being as fol
lows:
Banks, Secretary of State.
Cameron, Secretary of the Treasury.
Lincoln, Secretary of the Interior.
Pettigrew, of South Carolina, Attorney General.
Botts, Secretary of War
Bell, Secretary of the Navy.
Baker, of California, Postmaster General.
It was agreed that Seward ebould go as Minister
to Lapland, and take his chances for 1864.
Nation al Opposition Convention. —Delegates,
fully representing the American, Whig and Union
parties, met in Washington on Saturday last, when,
after some discussion of a conversational character,
the following resolution was adopted :
Resolved., That the Chairman of this meeting be
empowered and requested, in coDiuooticn with the
Chairman of the National Central American Com
mittees, to caii a National Union Convention for
the nomination of candidates for the Presidency and
Vice-Preeidenc y of the United States, to issue an
address, if it stall ee*-m expedient to them so to do,
to the people of the United States, suggesting the
mode of electing delegates to said convention ; and
eettieg forth the reasons which make the present
Union movement indispensable to tLe perpetuity
of the Government.
The meeting was harmonious and unanimous in
Its action.
Effects or the Cold on Lard.—From every
quarter of Texas accounts of unprecedently cold
weather are received and losses recorded. In seme
p'acgs, cattle, sheep and goats dieu in corsiderable
numbers. In eome places, even domestic fowls
were frozen stiff on tbeir roosts.
A letter from Mr. Wrrd, Minister to China, says
the Russian Envoy was in Pekin at the time he was
there, but so strict wrs the surveillance of the
Chinese government that it would not allow them
to see each other. The exchange of eeveral private
notes, however, was permitted.
Gii» Horst Burred.— The Gin House of R. R
Siappy, Erq . in Twiggs county, was burned on the
night of the 17(h inst.. and with it sixteen bales of
Cotton. Mr. Blappy believes it to have been the
yrork of an incendiary.
Victor Hugo John Brown-
An article appears in the London Daily News of
Dee. 7th, from the pen of Victor Hugo. We give
the concindicg portion of this singular manifesto.
M. Hugo refers to the day of execution as December
16th, a report having reached England that Brown
had been reprieved to that date. The extract is as
follows :
The executioner of Brown, let us avow it openly
(for the day of the kings is past, and the day of the
peoples dawns, and to the people we are bound
frankly to speak the truth) —the executioner of
Brown would be neither the attorney Hunter, nor
the judge Parker, nor the governor Wise, nor the
state of Virginia ; it would be, we say it, and we
think it with a shudder, the whole American repub
lic.
The more one loves, the more one admires, the
more one reveres the republic, the more hear 4 Vick
one feels at such a catwtrophe. A single State
ought not to bave tbe power to d ! ehonor the rest,
end is this ca«e Federal intervention is a clear
right. Otherwise, by hesitating to interfere when it
might prevent a crime, the Un' n becomes an
acoomplice. No matter now intense may be the
indignation of the generous Northern Sta’es, the
Southern States e vociate tl n wi’h the disgrace of
this murder. AU of u», whoever we may De-tor
whom the Democratic cause ■ a common country —
feel orrselves in a manner compromised and hurt
If the scaffold should be erected on tbe 16th of
December, the incoriuptibfe voice of historv would
thenceforward teslHy that the august confederation
of the New World had added to all its ties of holy
brotherhood, a brotherhood of blood, aud tbe jitce»
of that splendid republic would be bound together
with the running note that bung from the gibbet
of Brown.
Tuie is a bond that kills.
When we reflect on what Brown, the liberator,
the champion of Christ, has striven to effeot, ana
when we remembtr that he is about to die, slangh
tered by the American republic, the crime assum es
the proportions of the nation which commits it,
and when we say to ourselves that this nation is a
g ory of tbe human race ; that—like France; like
England, like Germany—she is one of tbe organs
of civilization; that she sometimes even out
marches Europe w y the sublime audacity of her
progress; that she is the queen cf an entire world
and that she bears on her brow au immense light of
Ireedom ; we affirm that John Brown will not die,
for we reooil, horror struok, from the idea cf so
great & crime committed by so great a people
In a political light tbe murder of Brown would
be an irreparable fault. It would penetrate tbe
Union with a secret fissure which would in the end
tear it esunder. It is possible that tbe execution
of Brown might consolidate slavery in Virginia,
but i: is certain that it wot’d convulse the entire
American Dem craey. You preserve your shame,
but you sacrifice ycur glory.
In a moral light, it seems to me that a portion of
the light of humanity would be (eclipsed, that even
the idea of justice and injustice wou.d bs obscured
on the day which should witness the atesssination
of Emancipation by Libeity.
As for myself, though I am but an atom, yet ' -v
mg, as I am, in common with all other men, inspi
with the conscience of humanity, 1 kneel in t
before the great starry banner of the new woi. ,
and with elf>ped bands, and with profound and
filial respect, Implore the illustrious Auiencan Re
public, eieter of the French Republic, to lo k to the
safety of the universal moral, law, to save Brown,
to throw down tbe threatening scaffold of the 16th
of December, and cot to suffer (bat, beneath Its
eyes, and I add, with a shudder, almost by its
famt, the first fratricide be outdone.
For—yes, let America know it and ponder it well
—there is something more terrible than Cain slay
ing Abel: It is Washington slaying Sparatacus.

Hautevil'e House. Dec. ‘2, 1859.
THIRTY-SIXTH CONGRESS—FIret Wesson.
IN SENATE Dec 24.
The Senate was cot ia session to-day, Caving ad
journed till Tuesday next
HOUSE.
Mr Bonham gave notice that after the epeecb of
Mr. Smith, of Virginia, who was entitled to the
floor, he would endeavor to obtain an oppertunity
to move that the House proceed to ballot for
Speaker faithfully throughout the day. Failing in
ttat, he would make an effort to offers resolution
that f om and after to day no vote for Speaker shall
be taken before the hour of 12 o'clock M, on
Wednesday, f 'ie 9th of January ; and that when
the House adjourn to-day, it be till Wednesday
Mr. Fouke (Mr. Smith giving way) replied to the
remarks if Mr Farnsworth, who had commented
on the cause of Mr. Dougies. His colleague, Mr.
Fainewortb, had declared in eubstaDoe that he
would rather see any other man than Mr. Douglas
elected to the Presidency. The Republicans ba
t-ed of Mr Dongles wr deep seated, and well it
may be, for be has given them many heavy blows.
Mr. Douglas etands on the Cincinnati Platform, and
desires no* s ir g else than its adoption at the Charles
ton Convention.
lie (Mr. kouke) would support the nominee of
that Convention in good faith, and so will the Dem
ocrats of Illinois. They Lave buried the differences
of the past and ooneider that every one who abides
by the Democra'ic organization is a Deurocrat.
Mr. Farnsworth—Will Mr, Douglas support ths
nominee of the Charleston Convention on a platform
on which he will not stand bim .iTf Will he sus
tain a platform which does not recognize hie (Mr.
Douglas’) doctrines that the people in the Terrtto
ties have the right to legislate in refereace to
slavery ?
Mr. Focke eaid he would tell the North and
South that Mr. Douglas will support the nominee
of the Charleston Convention.
Mr. Farnsworth—On any platform ?
Mr. Fouke said he would give Lis support against
the Republicans, and he proceeded to show that the
State Convention of Illinois declared they would
suata'n the nominee of the Che leston Convention.
The Dongles men stand between the extremes of
the North and South John Wentworth we 3 the
embodiment of the Republican party in Illinois,
and yet bis organ (the Chicago Dam. jrat) sympa
thized with John Brown. And these were t' e
feelings of the Republican party generally. None
of the U-‘publicans denounce Wentworth for h : s
(ucendiery sentiment?. They who endorse John
Brown deserve the same fate which he met. He
a-ked whether his colleague endorsed or repudiate i
the etntimtn's of Jofcn Wentworth.
Mr Farnsworth replied that so farai Wentworth
run the parallel between Southern fiiiibuetera or
s ave trade pirates and John Brown he endorsed
him; but so far f? he endorsed the act of John
BrowD, in bis incursion into Virginia, he did not
endorse him. He icqu.red of Mr. Fouke w ether
Southt-ru slave trade pirates were not as bad n
John Brown, and dei red a similar fate.
Mr. Fouke repined : Try thtm by the law of the
land. Punish pirates or anybody e’se North, South,
E“st or West, upon the high seas everywhere, who
violate aw lie (Mr Fume) stood by the Consti
tutional laws of the land. John Brown is dead, but
his ac's live It is with those who endorse those act 3
that we have to deal. He spoke of John Brown’s
acts in KaLaas, and reproba'ed them in strong
teims. He proceeded to elate that the Republican
paity bad no sympathy with foreigners, but have
deluded them ; t ias soon as they have done with
them, they will r t only put them on an equality
with the negro, but would go farther and ignore
them altogether in poiitioai action. He ahuded to a
conversation with Governor Seward, of New Yora
and Governor Smith, of Virginia, in 1857 or 1858,
as reported in the Congressional Globe, in which
tfce former had expressed a preference for negroes
over foreigners
Mr. Smi’b, of Virginia, narrated the substance of
the conversation referred to, in substance that if
Governor Smith would send negroes to the North,
the latter would, in turn, *nd the South as mi jy
foreigners, who could not l e depended cn in e ac
tions, while they bed no trouble with the negroes.
Mr. Fouke having concudel bis reaenrke,
Mr. Smith of Virginia, exposed the infamy of the
Helper Book, t ode *ked whether the House would
put io that chair a murderer ?
Mr. Sherman immediately arose and eßked for an
explanation.
Mr. Smith said that he had been illustrating.
Mr. Curtis rose to a question of order. T
should cot permit the gentleman to impeach it
honor of geutieimnof this House. He asked Mi.
Smith to recall bis temark.
Mr. Smith said that when he had anything to re
call be would do so without being requested to do
so. [Applause. | If gentlemen would keep quiet
it would be better for them. He had been putting
the queetion home. He had charged nobody with
being a murderer or robber. But he did charge
that sixty-eight members of the lrst Congress, some
of whom ere now here, did endorse a bot k, the
sentiments of which be had a light to believe were
bad, damnable and offensive.
The clerk said be would proceed to clear the gal
leries, owing to the disturbance which had just
taken place. [One disorderly person, as a com
mencement, was removed ]
Mr. Smith, resuming, showed that it was not in
the heart and patriotism of tbs Home to elect a
man who had endorsed the Helper book, and who
had declined to disavow the offensive sentiments.
He proceeded to show that Mr Grow had aided to
defeat the Post Office appropriation bill Icit year,
while now he atked for an organization with a view
to satisfy the public creditors.
Mr. Branch, in supporting the views of Mr.
Smith, said that the real object of Mr. Grow and
hie friends was to defeat the Post office appropria
tion bill, in order that the President might be com
pelled to call an extra session—so that the Repub
licans might get possession of the patronage of the
House. lie insisted that Mr. Grow and his party
were responsible for-a’he defeat of that bill.
Mr. Grow desired ,to be heard in reply, but he
did not obtain the opportunity to do so.
Mr. Hill rose to second the motion of Mr. Keitt
—that when the House adjourn it be to Wednes
day next. He made some humorous remarks, and
said that he had written to bis overseer to give his
slaves holiday, and he certainly thought that gen
tlemen here might take a little holiday, as It was
evident another vote would not result in an election
of Speaker. No question, however, was taken, the
motion having been withdrawn.
The House then proceeded to vote (for the twen
ty-first time) with the following resuit: Whole
number of votes necessary to choice 104; Mr.
Sherman 100; Bocock 30; Gilmer 17; Houston 17.
The remainder scattering.
The House adjourned.

Arrival at Boston «f the Pirate Yacht Wan*
dertr.
The history of this famom or infamous vessel
ha 3 already occupied a large share of public at
tention on account of her euocßssfhi slaving voy
age, and the acquittal of all concerned in it. 8, 8
is again before the public, and is again in the
clot shea of the law, this time, we hope without a
chance of escape.
Ttis morning ehe arrived here in charge of Mr.
Henry W elton, from :he vicinity of the Western
Islands. Her story, though long in iti details, is
quite interesting.
On the 20th October, between 9 and 10 o'clock,
Lincoln Patten, under the r turned name of David
Martin, put 15 men on board the yacht Wanderer,
theD lyiDg in the river below Savannah, to assist in
taking on board provisions, water and stores. A
little later he came on boa'd himself, accompanied
by Edward Talbot, pilot, and Capt. J. Black, ship
ping agent. He called all hands to get underway,
and drawing a revolver swore be would shot any
one v,ho refused to work, or who might interrupt
his movements. He also threatened the shipping
agent and pilot with death if they attempted to
leave the vessel. Some of the crew who knew his
plans, loaded the two guns with grape, and ermed
themselves to enforce hi 3 orders e jainet those who
had been induced by false pretences to come on
board.
Though there was a pilot on board, he directed
the movements of the vessel himself, and got her
twice r rhorse At lert she reached Tybee Light
aud anchored, where the pilot and shipping master
left her. Again she ran aground, and remained fast
four hours. At nine o’clock in 'he molding of Oc
tober 21, she floated again, and made sail, slipped
fifteen fathom j of chain, and went tc see, ce-rying
more than half the crew against their wisher.
The Captain, to allay thiir fears, prermd-?d that
the vepsel was bound to Matanzas aEd Nessau,
N. P., and back to Savannah; but a few days aUer
wards he decie-ed that the vecsel wei without pa
pers, the Collector having refused her a clearance,
lie said be wo oound to the Western Islands for
more provisions and water, and thence to the coert
of Africa for a cargo o! seven hundred negroes.
These be proposed to land at Cardenas, sajicg
that he wai sure lo receive for them $650 each, be
ing well acquainted with the trade, having landed
several cargoes from the barques Nig'jara, Ocean
Tyrant, brig Francis Eileu, aud other vessels. He
further informed them that on leaving .Savannah he
had failed t o procure a chronometer, chait or nauti
cal e'munao, and consequently would have to per
form the voyage by dead reckoning.
On the 23d of October, however, he fell in with
the ship Tr -y, of Boston, and bought from her one
Epi'ome, Blunt’s Coe »t Pilot, aud a Chart of the
Uulf of Fioi.da, for which be paid simply $75. He
next oha ted the barque Clara Brewer, bat when be
hailed her, finding the captain to be an old acquain
tance, he did not go on board.
The next day he saw a schooner and made sail in
chase carrying such a press of canvas that he car
ned away his square sell yard end split the sail,
but failed to overhaul her. uu the 28th of October
he chried a brig aLdfired grape at her, but she
woo'd not heave to ; the chase wai continued until
11 P. M., when the brig, favored by the darkness of
the night, by suddenly chang-ng her course ran out
of sight.
The Wanderer was now headed for Fayal, and
was favored with a strong gale from W N W ,
going sometimes .wenty knot an hour, aud re
quiriDK two men at the helm to steer he*. On the
31 et toe aale moderated to fiue weather, which con
tinued until November 3th, when she encountered
another Northwest ga ! e, which brought her to the
Isle of Fiores.
Sbesicod off, and on firing guns for a pilot, and
when off the settlement of .Santa Cruz, toe British
Consul, the Chief Magistrate of the place, and a
pilot came on board. She was then anchored in
twenty five fathoms water. The Captain produced
a false c'eara-ce of the vessel, under the name of
the “William, of Savannah, bouud to Smyrna,"
etating at the same time that he had lost sails, pro
visions, spars galley, aud chronometer, and wa< iu
want of ail these.
Endorsed by the British Consul and the authori
ties ashore, he procured 38ceske, containing i'KM)
gallooe of water, firewood, liquor, dour, rope, 250
bushels of potatoes, an anchor, and 120 fathoms of
chain.
He wa? promised twenty tons more flour, but
eorne of his movement? exciting suspicion, became
on board iu great baffe and made everything ready
for getting under weigh that night lie smuggled
two Portuguese women on board, and this circum
stance came so the knowledge of Ihe authorities.
He had not a moment to spare, so he slipped fifty
fa boms of cnaio, left one of his men ashore, and
did not pay one dollar tor the supplies received,
valued at about fl.-000. He openly avowed to the
crew that he could procure eighty negroes for the
women he had kidnapped.
The vessel was next Leaded for Madeira, eshed
at Village Point de Salee, but uuable to obtain sup
plies, proceeded to Funchal, where receiving infor
mation that an English steamer of war was in the
harbor, he stood to sea, proposing to pass betweeu
Cape St. Ana and the Canaries.
Still short es provisions, he deviated to the crew
that he would obtain them by force from the, first
vessel he met, sweating that he would shoot the
first man who hesitated to fight tor such an objeet.
Shortiy afterwards he spoke the barque Clara, of
Hoidesui, but her ooaiaisodsr positively retimed
either to heave to or to furnish him with supplies.
Two other barques were chased witbom bemgable
to bring them to. At last she fell in with the bar
que Tenney, of Marseilles, which hove to and pro
mieed to give irm some of her stores. With a boat
and four men he boarded her.
Now was the crisis of tfce crew's fate. They
determined, [unanimously, to seize the veriel and
carry her to the United States. Wi fi that object
in view Mr. Henry Weltco, a native of British
North American, was p aced in command. She
was immediately ran before the wind, all sail set,
and when well clear of the barque, wai beaded to
the westward.
The next day she made thß westward of the Ca
caries, and saw lying in a cove a suspicious looking
pdf :re brig, which ursd a gan when the Wanderer
hove in sight. Havi rg no desire to her
true character, the Wanderer pursued her course
to the wr 3tward without any other incident worthy
of notice, and arrived here this morniug, as
already elated. Shekel now on board ten man and
the two Portugae-e women already noticed.
Mr. Welton proceeded at once to notify the Col
lector, who, aa the vessel was without papers, is
sued an order for her seizure until tfce matter could
be investigated in tneU.s Court.
1 he owner of the vessel is Mr. Lamar, of Savan
nah, who, it will be remembered, advertised her c i
a runaway ve3<el at the time of her leaving Savan
nsh.
The crew, it is stated, are in a a*ate of destitu
tion, almost, in regard tj clothing and the necessa
l.csof life. They are mostly young persons.
&The Wanderer, though styled a yacht, is a fore
and aft schooner of over 250 tor?, with good
st orage capacity. Her ends ere sharp with slightly
concave or hollow lines, her 11 or long end welt
spread, as it dedgned to combine in her model the
best point! of the centreboard, without its inenn
venienci. Speed, with power to carry sail, are the
principles upon which she bei been built.
Mr Nelson and the * States.”— In the House
of Jiepresentatives, on Friday, Mr. Nelson, of
Tennessee, replied to ceilain articles in the We h-
States, reflecting up< n tie course pi a
Southern man in the onteet for Speaker. He al
luded t ) the feet that bis speech in supnort of the
Union had been approved by the prt is in all sec
lions of the country, and that he had received
letters of con* ra n ation from all quartets as evi
nce of the uudyu g love of he Amencau Union
in the American bea-t, and that, the madness that
eeeks to save.- the ties of the Union will be signally
rebuked. J
In regard to the statement relating to him in the
States, he pronounced them wilfully and malicious
ly false, and grossly and unjustifiably libellous. It
was true he had been in favor of uni ing upon a
Democrat for Speaker, aud would still be ready to
do eo when he short'd see a d eposition to treat Lia
party fairly. He be'ieved that the election of a
Southern man would do more than anything else to
quiet the apprehensions of the oount-y, but would
never vote for any but a Union man. lie had
Confidence in the declarations of Mr Sherman that
he signed the Help, bcok inadvertently, and d-d
not approve of if-'ex* erne ck trines; but thought
h's election wou. i exeii, an unhappy influence at
the B>u*h, and should ot dioue to vote for a South
ern Opposition men until he saw good cause to
change his coulee.
The San Juan Affair—Letter from Mr-
Dallas— The Department of State has received a
reply to Gen. Cass’ despatch to Mr. Da'laa upon
the San Juan fcffiir. The British Minister has also
received a despatch on the earns subject. It is said
that the tenor of these despatches indicate a
peaceful solution of the apprehended difficulty,
and that Great Britain, while msinfaioiag her right
to the island under treaty, will hardly adhere to the
pretentions first tOßumed by her. It -s understood
that General Scott’s instructions are eatisff ctory to
her Majesty’s government. The question naturallv
arises, how is this dispute to be adjusted, both
government maintaining their undoubted right to
the island 7 It is reported that England is willing,
in orre it cannot be arranged, to call in a third
Power.
An application has been received at the Depart
ment for a poet office at San Juan Island. It is
alleged that for the importance of this place, and the
accommodation of American citizens, this request
ought to granted. The Department have deter
mined to take no action upon the matter at present,
as it would involve an annual expense of upwards
of five thousand dollars.

I Mi-idem During the Kufuuln Conference.
A correspondent of the Petersburg (Va.j Ex
press, writing from Lowilder.boro , Alabama, Dec
Kith, says:
A friend relates a plerdng incident that took
place in Eufauia, Aia , a few days ego, dur.ng the
session of the M. t Conference in that place. A
gentleman wr offering for sale the patent right of
a plow that he bad been exhibiting, and from the
“cut of bis coat," aud his "manners,” the Vigilance
Committee, thinking that he might be a travelling
yankee, carried him off t j a private room, to ex
amine bim. He became *ery muoh excited and
told them that he wai Dr. Mulroe, of 8. C., and
that there were several miniaters then in the place
who knew him. His great excitement increased
their suspicions, and they questioned him farther,
and e?ked him the names of bis father and mother,
.■either ot which could he give correc'ly, and the
President of the Committee, Dr. Y., offered to bet
him soo, that he did not own a slave, aud was not
identified with the interest? of the South. He ac
cepted the bet, and stated lhat he had two plants
tatiocs iu Souih Carolina, and negroes to work
both. This confirmed their snap cions etill more,
that be, so wealthy a than, should be eelling plows
in Alabama
One of the Committee then e?ked him if be had
any letters by which his character might be estab
lished, he replied he had, and produced them, and
they were so clear and plausible, that he turned to
Mr. Y , the President, and remarked, you are mis
taken, sir; this gent eman, Dr. Mulroe. is above
suspicion. Mr. Y. repiied, I will bet SIO,OOO he is
an abolitionist, and ask*d Dr M why he did not
send for his friend aud relieve himself. He replied,
it is now tooiateat night (11 o’clock) to disturb him,
and the morning will do. In the meantime some
one bed gone out and brought in oneof the gentlemen
he had mentioned, aud when he entered and found
Dr. M. occupying a chair, and undergoing an
examination under such peculiar circumstances,
Le was so astonished, that be exclaimed—why Dr.
Mulroe i and burst out in a loud laugh, while the
Doctor, overcome wru feelings, burst mto tears,
and the sympathy Wf s so intense that the whole
committee were soon in tears. The Piesident of
fered to pay the bet so justly due. but Dr M. re
fused it, aud they all pledged themselves to sell as
many plows as tuey cou^d.
