THE SPEAKERSHIP.
To the Editor Of the Union:
A member Of the Goth Congress proposes the
Hon. W. w. Payne, of Alabama, as ta next Speak
err. In doing this, he intends no disparagement of
the claims of the distinguished gentlemen who are
spoken of IN connection with that high station.
There are reasons, however, which viii address
themselves to every thinking man, why many Of the
gentlemen spoken Of cannot be acceptable to that
large portion Of the Union where democracy has
ever been cherished when discarded esewhere--the
South. Virginia now offers one or two gentlemen
of distinguished worth but Virginia has had her
share of honors, and been particularly fortunate in
securing, heretofore, the elevated post of Speaker.
In fact in the last Congresses in which par
ty had the majority, Virginia held the speakership.
Is il asking too much, then, Of the Old Dominion,
that she should now stand aside and permit young
err though perhaps, less distinguished sister, to
the arena without having her rival9 trust not.
Alabama, sir has ever been ready at the call Of
party to do battle and has neser failed to bring
victory TO its standard. OF what other State can
higher euogy be pronounced Yet Alabama has
had but few, if any, of the high and honorable
appointments conferred upon her sons, which the
country has to bestow. In fact, while ready and
willing besow, she has asked for but little. In the
person ofoDe ofher distinguished sons, there is now
opportunity offered for the great democratic party
to show her the high estimation in which she is
held; and upon no worthier or more Jealous DEM
ocrst could the honor be bestowed, than upon Mr..
Payne. He is acknowledged by all to be an able
man--of clear and vigorous intelect-prompt and
decided in his course--wise and sagacious in coun-
ci-of unquestionable soundness upon all the great
questions of the day. Upon the subject of our for
eign relations, he is known TO occupy eminent
ly high American ground while upon such
domestic issues those of the bank and tariff,
he is known as a ihoroughgoing State-rghts
man. A generous and calm consideration Of
his merits is therefore claimed of the democ-
racy of the House by Mr.. Paynes friends.
His name is presented to them with the utmost con-
idence that in the present situation Of affairs, he is
well qualified to discharge the duties Of Speaker;
but, at the same time, with that Difference due to
whatever decision his party friends may make upon
the subject.

For the Union.


Ma EpiToR: Edward Branch Robinson is a cam
ddate for the Office of door-keeper at the ensuing
session Of the 18th Congress. There is not any
who is more competent, and who has stronger
claims upon the democratic party than Mr.. Robin
son. His talents and his time were freely given in
supporting the election of Mr. Polk: all his lifetime
he has pursued consistent and highly independent
course in the support of democratic measures.
As an evidence of his attachment to his party and
its principles he resigned acr the election Of Gen.
Harrison) Alternative post he held under Mr.. Ken
dali; he did not make public declaration Gas many
,eIo are noio in office didD that he would not
under Harrison's administration, and afterwards
hold on; but as every true democrat ought to have
done, he was the only one, believe, who had the
nerve to resign.
hope the democratic members will closely scru-
tinze the respective claims Of all the candidates for
the Office in observation-disclosures their claims, and
learn their history respecting their services, and ad-
herencc to the principles Of the party; and | have
"no hesitation in saying" that they viii place Mr.
Robinson far in advance of each of his competitors.

that "the democracy have again won glorious VIC

ST. vlNcENT,s ORPHAN ASYLUM.

We understand that the tea-rarty prepared by the
lady managers few days since, in behalf Of the
female branch of ST. Vncent's Orphan Asylum, met
with so much encouragement, that the same char,a-
BILE ladies have determined to provide similar en-
tertainment for the benefit Of the male orphans. The
sympathies which this exalted charity has elicit
ed from the citizens Of the metropolis, are sure
guarantee Of the worihiness of the object which
they are bestowed; and certainly no efforts our
part are needed TO excite them to a continuance
Of these sympathies. We cannot suppose, for an
instant that the proverbia generosity of our cti-
zens, and their never-failng sensibties in the
Of humanity will flag and fa,er at this season.
But there seems to be peculiar aptitude at the pres
ent PERIOD when,
Dread winter spreads his dreary gloom,
"And reigns triumphant DER the conquered year"
that each should exert himself in aiding, TO the ut
most of his ability, the cause Of the fa,herless and
the poor.
At the merely nominal price of l2s cents, all win
be enabled to meet and exchange the cvilities and
courtesies of life All will, at the time, be in
strumental in promoting the objects of most excel
lent institution, which is under the care and guardi-
anshp of the Sisters of Charity, whose noble and
self-devoted efforts in the of suffering humans
ty, no less than in the training ofthe infant mind to
the paths of morality and virtue, are well known
and SO highly appreciated in this refined community.
We hope that all whose avocations precluded them
from attending the former teaparty, will avail them
selves, on Wednesday and Thursday evenings, at
Carusi's Saloon, of the opportunity thus afforded
them to countenance this noble institution.
