specuIntions from Washington.

Washington correspondent in this mornings "Balti-
more Sun" puts forth the following speculation, very
little to the credit of the wings:
"Judging from the opening speech of the chairman OF
the Ways and Means, Mr. Vnton, might very naturally
ler that there truth in the charge which has been made.
tlat the opposition design embarass though not
fs to the administrations the necessary and appli
for prosecuting the Mr.. Vinton, by direction
of the committee. has reported such project for obtaining
necessary must necessarily cause embarnss
ment in procuring the means True, minority project
has also been brough according with the plan proposed
by the administration, and with which project it is satisfied
stand fall The administration is willing to take the
odds and chances of its scheme on the war to
glorious and successful issue upon its plan. But
while the opposition have the heart conscience to
keep back the supplies they refuse to give the adminstra
ton rope enough hang ITSELF in other phrase refuse
to let perform its responsible and important duty
upon the principles and according the policy itself thinks
most advisable and proper Give what it asks forlet it
carry the as II prop poses to do-and II shal make
failure its condemnation and fall be on its own head"
The following is from the Washington correspondent
of the New York Evening Post
AFTER little more than eight weeks discussion, our
wing House of Representatives has at length succeeded in
parceng the suggestions of the Presidents message to
The different standing committees; formality which is
usually accomplished during the first ten days OF the ses-
SION You bear in mind however, that this extra or
iinary delay is ply branch Of wing tactics, with the
view of embarrassing the operations of the government
The majority in the House have not the nerve to refuse sup
plies in open, manly negative vote but they can occa-
ruinous delay by talking against time, on questions
not before the House Immediate legislation and in that
manner plish their pur pose quite as We'll spe-
cia committee has been raised on one OF the topics con-
nccted with the messagenamey TO take into consdera
ton the objects the and the best Of restoring
Its abors will be under the su perntenaence Oh r
Clay, who is still here
ssJJpon the committee will de vove the duty of ampify
ing the Lexington resolutions and laying them before
the whggery OF the Union in a emi-obcnl form; and In
that constituting item sort OF political test, to
which all true wings be subject The democrats will
not object going to people such issue, and will
therefore give them all the rope they desire for the use OF
this CON mttee report may be expected in the course OF
time which hope will put in possession OF all the a
Giles of wing faith the question, and satisfactorily
explan to the people why the
plies requisite prosecuting the war 10 conclusion hon
orabe to ourselves and effectively towards Mexico, have
not been promptly pa ced the disposal OF our government
think our citizen, are indifferent TO national
honor and if flag is to be struck and raled out OF
Mexico disgrace, this committee must be prepared to
nege the satisfactory Tor the proceeding as
the measure If disgraceul thing is really to be con-
sunmaed it is presumed, will be predicated upon the
report which will submitted TO the House of Representa-
tves in this case This daily discussed in
streets and if public and credence is any criterion
as to the truth of such things the have alluded to
has already been deliberately discussed in the wing
cuses and resolved among the wing principles,
which are be carried out by the present House OF Repre-
