Why this expenditure Of money this con- |
slant interference in State elections-this |
movement of an army Of Office holders to
elect such members Of Congress who will
make choice of an administrators Speaker
The answer Is at hand.---A Wing Speaker
will appoint committees. who win honestly
and firmly bring to the view Of the people
the gross Usurpations Of power violations Of
ministration; and 50 powerful win be the eff
feet produced by this expose, that q change
OF rulers Inevitably follows.
An administration conscious OF its integ-

invite the appointment Of Wing Speaker
than 10 have q friend in the chair but it
cannot be done with any safety, and no sa-
crifice will be neglected 10 secure Speak

Guilty, however. is simply this: The Presi-
dent, in calculating his strength. relies on
MFR. Calhoun and tue State Rights men from
South Carolina, Alabama and Georgia
i NeAae4hOS S0SeSSess
The Speaker, who answers every purpose
of the administration, Is one who allows the
committees TO be made up at the White
i House who has no opinion or voice. OF his
own in the matter-who follows INSTRUCTIONS
a and obeys orders. Such one, for example
!. as DR.. Duncan. or some others, whom Mr. (
benton or MIR. Kendall could name. Such
Speaker neither Mr. Calhoun nor the State
i Rights men from the South can support.
, MI. Pickens, of South Carolina, has been 81.
, ready named for the otiice. and IL ne should
| be chosen, he il Mr. Calhoun's and not Mr..
| | Van Buren's Speaker. IL Mr.. Calhoun

!. I1is hands, ii cannot be expected that he is to
{ labor 10 promote Mr.. Van Buren,s re-elec-
3 ! ton. and leave him 70 nominate Benton or

/ the embarrassment Of, the whole question.
There are not sufficient collar men elected

D thew must depend, therefore, on auxiliary
ala from quarter which agrees with the

f | that auxiliary force already asks tor the APP

: not consent to receive Mr.. Calhoun's candi-
q date, then the Wings will throw their weight
V in favor of Pickens and if% he 10 elected, he
! must be considered as having been chosen
. by the opposition. II, on the contrary, the
; administration consents 70 the election OF
