The Spsakershp The .7ustan Mission The Cabine, &C.
Three successive ballots gave Speaker and it Is
pretty evident now that neither Mr. Cobb nor Mr. Win
throp be elected The free sellers hold the balance
Of power for even with tho recusant wings Mr.. Win
throp cannot be elected do not wish to trouble you
with which the telegraph wires have told long be-
fore my letter reaches you but prefer giving you the
moral Of the story.
The question Is why does not Mr. Crawford resign at
once' IL is Mr.. Crawford who commands the Georgia
whigs-the very wings that have put him where he Is
The rebellion Of Tsombs and Stephens Is aiming at
his head why does he not surrender 1t, as man, to
save the administration,
One would suppose that an administration which
hitherto has shown little regard for the out
ward forms Of proprety would hesitate to the
executive patronage means Of securing an organi-
ration of the House, favorable to its But would
you believe It! They have not enough credit in the
political stock market to be trusted for week They
have completely Disguised all their original friends
that none will near them Their own party 10 bent
their humiliation and the day of rstributioa is at
hand.
Mr. Holmes is now the only friend the admins
tration has got He Is dancing the Polka; voting all
the time against the democratic nominee, but for
South Carolina democrat. In this does his wit
supply the deficiency Of his heart There are men who
will even take heed from the Lesson taught Col.
webb nay there those who are quite prepared to
.9propos des 5otfesi DO you know how Col Webb got
that mission You are, undoubtedly, aware that Gen.
Taylor had positively declined to send Col. Webb
abroad Notwithstanding the Coonels services, his
character and the in which he had been
placed from time to time such to lead him to
suppose that the Senate aud the country would not
sustain such appointment. Well, notwithstanding
this positive declaration OF Gen Taylor Gel Webb has
been appointed but not until he had made his peace
with TX Governor Seward and precisely a fortnight
after the exchange Of Publications at the Coonels
table. In this manner has the Courier and Enquirer
become Seward paper, while Mr. Clayton has been
led to suppose that himself will be the recipient Of
the Cousr's editorial favors For with all these
nous concessions made to Ex.Governsr Seward, the
latter IL at all satisfied with Mr. Clayton but has
boasted that though he aespised the administration
quite much anybody else yet he knew the way Of
making them pay for their own folly Is not this rich
had occasion to write you that the naturalization
had Senator's pledged to It's supports This upon
diligeDt inquiry ind to BE- mistake. They haze
more than three on whom they possibly rely The
two Senators from Vermont, whom naturally sup
poscd 20 60 along with MIR. Colamsr violently OPP
posed to him and to the whole cabinet and even Mr.
Wales the Senator from Delaware, cannot be led
by Mr. Clayton.
1t is indeed fatal thing, that ct period Of such
excitement as may possibly follow the election Of
Speaker and which may terminate In the breaking 10
Of all the old parties should have President rely.
Ing I'm plicty his cabinet aud cabinet without the
respect Of the country
