THE SPEAKER.

The election Of Mr.. Hunter Of Virginia As
Speaker. although accomplished chiefly by The
votes Of the wings, may bs justly regarded as
democratic triumph. Finding il utterly im-
possible for them 10 elevate one Of their own
number to that distinguished station. the oppo-
sition finally concentrated their strength upon
gentleman. who. although entertaining views
Of public policy entirely at variance With
theirs, had at eas, the merit. 10 their opinion,
of not receiving the nomination and general sup
port Of the friends Of the administration. 10
giving their suffrsgcs TO Mr.. Hunter. the wings
did but choose the least Of the evils that beset
their path yet they would fain persuade MS.
that in so doing they gained victory. Can
they sincerely call that a victory, which invest
ed with the high authority Of Speaker Of the
House, one whose political career has been 10 d.
rect conflict with theirs. aud who. on taking the
principles upon which he stood pledged before
the country! What those principles src. the
wings well know. They are repugnont 10 the
political doctrines which they advocate. and in
racy throughout the Union. To a national
Bank. high protective tariff, and TO all alliance
Of bank and state, he will be found firmly and
actively opposed. Or the most important mea-
sure OF the eadministration.--thatw which distinct
iVely divides the two great parties Of the G n
lederacy-an independent ,reasury-he is with
us heart and soul. In order therefore. to sus-
tain his principles as he has pledged himself to
do. he must so constitute the committees Of the
House, as TO ensure their favorable action on
the leading measures of the administrations
And TO these measures he cannot give his sup
port, without contributing TO the triumph Of
democratic principles.
la the declaration that he will act ndepen-
denty as the presiding officer OF the House,
there is nothing alarming 10 true democrats
who ask only fair and impartial hearing. md
that the influence and authority of office may
be so exerted as to contribute TO the diffusion
Of just sense of the rights Of the many and
due respec, for the supremacy Of the popular
will.
II in such views, growing out Of the election
Of Mr.. Hunter the wings can find ground for
exultaiion. they can draw nourishment from
stones and hope from the regions Of despair
