Potomac in the Baltimore Patriot, speaks fol-

Speakership
"There much speculation about the substitution OF
MIR Richardson of Illinois, for Mr.. Cobb as the candi-
date of the Opposition. Mr.. Richardson is clever,
good natured, rough sort of backwoodsman, who
chews great deal of tobacco and is proud al all
He was Major in the Mexican war, and fought at
Buena Vista like bazes loosely he says he did not
think of running being for Speaker and therefore
has prepared no speech for the occasion. But in the
event OF his election he has asked Cobb to loan him his

We observe that, in the baloting on Tuesday, Mr..
Hubbard OF Ala and Mr.. Orr OF C. voted throughout
for Col Richardson, Mr.. Holmes, of S. c. voted for
him on the th ballot and Mr.. Burt OF S. c. voted for
him on the 10th Mr. Woodward, Of the same State,
voted through the six ballots OF Tuesday for Mr. Stan

for Richardson to elect some Northern who is
obnoxious to the South Richardson's being Western

coIrRsE OF THE GENTRY WINGS.

We have rarely looked with more regret upon
any proceeding connected with our public affairs,
than upon the refusal of Messrs Toombs, Ste
phens Owen, Cabell, Hilliard and Morton, to CO.
operate with the large majority of the Wing men,
bers of the House of Representatives in the sup
port of Mr.. Winthrop. We insert, in another
column, a letter to the New York Express, which
gives, apparently an authentic account Of the pro-
ceedings at the caucus of Wing members, on
Saturday night last. 1t appears that the cause OF
the secession of these six gentlemen from the
counsels of their political associates was the re-
fusal of the caucus to pass resolution, offered by
Mr.. Toombs, which, in effect, pledged the Wing
party, as a party, to oppose the measures of re-
strictng slavery in the Territories and abolishng
it in the District of Columbia. We confess we
have SEEM with the highest qualification, the senti-
ments expressed by prominent Northern Wings
upon the introduction of this proposition. They
all. even Mr. Ashmun, of Massachusetts, avowed
that the question of slavery had been repudated
as party test by the Wings of the North in their
political contests, and protested, we must say with
good reason against the application of the test now
proposed from the South.
The remarks of Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, in
dictate that the object of Mr.. Toombs dthose who
followed him was to convince the North that if it
should persist inattempting to assal Southern in
terests in the Territories or the District, disunon
must ensue. But, however true this may be, the
friendly conference of great national party was
surely not an appropriate occasion for sucha de-
monstration, and especially when the business in
hand was the election of Speaker of the House
of Representatives.
1t does notappear that the six impracticable gen.
temen made serious objections to Mr. Winthrop.
Four of them had voted for him, two years before,
when every objection urged against him by his
political enemies at the South was fresher, and
therefore, stronger. His impartial and distin-
guished administration as the presiding officer of
the House, presented no single act at which the
most exacting friend could reasonably take Of
fence The resolution of Mr.. Toombs was there
fore, doubly unfortunate. 1t would have been in
opportune on any similar occasion, for lit could only
have proved an apple of discord; but when aimed
at the overthrow of a gentleman whom Wings of
all sections have delighted to honour, it could not
fail to create deep and lasting alterations. Its
advocates have not had the satisfaction, either of
defeating Mr. Winthrop, (for their votes could not
have elected him. or of carrying with them a
number of Southern Wings large enough to excite
the serious apprehensions of Northern politicians
1t was a step which rather invitedthe aggressions
deprecated, than gave warning against their COM
mission.

ALABAMA,-The Legislature of Alabama on the 2ls
utmo elected Sias Parsons, of Madison county, Judge
of the Supreme Court, in place of Judge Collier elected
Governor. Mr.. Parsons is Wing, but was nomina-
ted by Democratic Governor, and is now confirmed.
without opposition, by Democratic Legislature-a
good example of party lberay in the dispensaton of
judicial honors. What makes it more remarkable is,
that gives the majority Of the Bench two out OF three
to the Wing party. The Bench is now composed of
Judges Parsons and Chiffon, (Whigs) and Judge
Dargan, dem. Mat. Int
