THE NEXT SPEAKER,

From what we have learnt, there is rea.
son TO believe. that there will be for
midable opposition in the election of a
Speaker for the next House ofFAssem-
bly,. A strong party will be for the re
election of Mr.. Papineau but it is sup.
posed, there will be stillsstronger one
in favor of MIR. Taschereau Both of
these gentlemen have numerous friends,
and both are said to be admirably quail /,
fled to support the dignity -Ufthat honor
able situation The talents Of Mr.. papi.
neaS have stood the test Of experience,
and ptthAps most of cs IN Montreal
would feel rather mortified, were he NOT
rsinstated !; but ii is probable that our
hopes may be disappointed, by the op-
position of members 10 Quebec, and
from various parts Of the country. We
extract the following from communi.
cation received from Canadian Gen
tleman of respec.abili,y, dated Quebec
the 10Th inst. which ought not to be
looked at with Indifference by the
friends of Mr.. Papineau. There
have been several caucusses held in
this good city by the members of the
House, and their Rumetons political
friends, respecting who is to be our
next Sneaker, and with the exception
" OF two members residing in town,
(AIr. B and Mr.. So probably all in
this district will be for Mr.. Tasche.
" resu; as also, from what under
+" stand, the members returned for
" Three Rivers. 1t is therefore my
+" humble opinion, that MIR. Papineau's
" interest will be unavailing. The
" people who affect to wish the coun-
try well, place tho merits Of MIR, T.
/" in their true light They say that he
suffered under former Sdministra-
Z" ton, but that he buried personal ran
cour for The good Of his couHtry and
" has Seen the most strenuous advo
" cate for its harmony and prosperity.
He ought to be supp@r.>d. He is
well versed in parliamentary rules,
IS and by his individual labor and ia
" Tents voluntarily translated into
T" French HdfseH'8 Precedenfs of the
" British House Of Commons, for
Is which our assembly refused to vote
sum of money to defray the ex.
" pence, upon the question being put,
" some years ago. Although some
others may hove vanity enough 10 as
e. pire to the honor, yet it is my opinion,
" that they will not have courage ia
&c aYow themselves. All here is anxiety
I" for the opening Of the session" The
writer continues his observations, civ
ing his opinions, backed by strong rea
soning, that the next session will bs
,oarLod he calm deIiheratinn that Y,ar,,
spirit will subside, and the true inter,
ests Of the country made the only sub
;cct OF discussion.
