Louisville Examiner.

We announce with regret that the weekly
publication of this paper has been suspended,
though we are consoled by the announcement
that it will probably be continued as a monthly
in magazine form. Although The Examiner
has not advocated the views which alone pass
muster with us as thoroughly anti-slavery, we
arc by no means blind to its many excellent
qualities, nor slow to acknowledge the great
good it has effected by opening a channel Of free
discussion in Kentucky. 1t has been conduct
ed with singular ability, and has kept itself en-
tircly aloof from the cntanglcments of political
parties. 1t is a great pity that such a paper
could not have been adequately sustained. The
Editors take leave of their readers in an admira-
bic valedictory, in which We are happy to find
this paragraph:
OF the ultimate success of the cause of eman.
cipation in Kentucky, We have never for a mo
ment doubted. The friends of the cause, du-
ring the past few months, have had much occa-
sion for anxiety, but none for dependency; and
though at present success has been denied, the
certainty OF final triumph was never clearer than
now. The star of hope shines in the heavens
with lustre. The subject has been
freely discussed, and many of the best minds
and purest hearts Of the State have committed
themselves gladly, unrescrvedly, and for ever,
to the cause OF freedom. We doubt not that,
when the subject shall come UP again for ac-
ton, to be decided upon its own merits, and
without reference to political considerations, a
result will crown the efforts of the friends of
freedom which will cause their hearts to thrill
with joy. ',
The price of the Examiner in its new form
(l6 PIP. .%octavo) will be 81. 1t will be conduct
ed by the same Editors, (Messrs. John H. Hey
wood and Noble Butler,) and we trust will not
fail for want of patronage.

Congress- Election of Speaker.

The struggle is over at last, and the fierce
Democratic of the South have triumphcd
HOWELL Conn, of Georgia, is Speaker of the
House of Representatives. The election took
place on Saturday last, and was thus effected
Mr.. STANLY of N. c.. (Whig) moved a reso-
luton to the effect that, if after the roll should
be called three times, no one had a majority,
then upon the fourth call the man who should
receive the highest number of votes, provided
such number were not less than a majority of a
quorum, should be declared elected Speaker of
the House. This resolution was adopted, lib
no choice and then came the final struggle.
Each of the parties fell back upon its original
candidate, and each probably had hopes of sue
cess. Cobb received l02, Winthrop 100, Viii
mot s, and the rest scattering.
Tho election by plurality VIC presume was the
result of a bargain between the leaders at least
of both the old parties, though the majority in
favor of that mode of settling the difficulty was
small. There must be an interesting chapter of
incidents and mancuvcrs preceding the final
result, which the telegraph does not supply,
and Of which we shall be fully informed a few
days hence. We only know at present that the
Wing and Democratic 'caucuses appointed each
q committee of six, three from the South and
three from the North, to agree upon some mode
of effccting an election. The Wings took the
first step, and the Democrats followed, the Nor
thcrn members of the party generally being OPP
posed, but ovcrborne by the South. After the
Democratic caucus had appointed its Commit
tee of Conference, Mr.. Gerry of Maine produ-
cod a great sensation, by proposing to instruct
the committee to confer with the Free Soil men.
A scene of excitement followed this, but the
proposition was rejected by a completely Sec
tional vote, twcnty-scven Northern Democrats
going for, and the whole South opposing it.
Previous to this, Mr.. Beale of Virginia I'M
dertook lin caucus) to harmonize the North
and South and secure the votes of the Free
Sellers for a Southern Speaker, by a proposition
to this effect "Ihat in the event of the election
of o Speaker of the House of Representative
by the Democratic party, it shall be considered
no concession of principle or opinion if said
Speaker shall appoint as members of committees
rs many of those who conceive that Congress
has a right to l~egislatc upon the subject of sla-
very. as shall be required to enable them to
procure a free expression of their views" Tho
consideration for this boon was to have been
the thorough determination of the Northern
Democrats with their Southern brethren. But
the proposition fell through; the South could

The Applause.

When TooMBs was speaking in the House
of Representatives,, a few days since, and
while nc was most vehement in defence of
slavery, that House rang with applause.
Strange! Does the voice of Freedom ev-
er find there such an echo? Are its friends
thus greeted? Do they make such demon
strationsp No. Yet thus these s~luyehold-
ers keep up their spirits and seek to crush
the spirits of the North. la aeu-snI.T.
en And this kind of action has its Effect
There is not one man out of a thousand who
is not influenced by it. But why this enthu-
siasm in behalf of Slavery? Why this
want of it in behalf of Freedom at Washing
ton? Either, men of the North! you are
not true, or your Representatives are false to
you. One or the other, it must be. If you
DO %at.fault, justify yourselves; if they, pun
ish them: for it is rank treason, to have the
power of Freemen thus cowed, or trampled
under foot, by the power of slayery.-Irue

WhiteWashing.

The Freesoilers who helped to make b. F.
Letter, of Canton, Speaker of the House, hay
ing been charged with supporting ga man who
has never at home been noted for any thing else
than a violent prejudice against the blacks and
an utter want of sympathy with the movements
for their elevation" have thought it necessary
to afford that gentleman an opportunity to
whitewash himself into a true-blue opponent of
Slavery. Mr.. Letter, in a letter addressed to
Mr.. Spelman, in which he casts the shadow of
an ominous silence over his past conduct, avows
himself in favor of the restriction of Slavery by
Congress, of its abolition in the District of Co.
lumbia, of refusing to admit any more slave
States into the Union, and of absolving the ma
tional government from all connection with the
institution. AT the sam time Mr.. L. comforts
his friends of the old line Democracy by the as
surance that he is opposed to third party or
ganization, which means of course that he don't
intend to let his opposition to slavery run into
such wild fanaticism as to induce a forgetful-
ness of his paramount obligations to party. The
Freesoilers wanted a bone to pick, and he gives
them one, telling them to be good boys and not
distract the Democracy by a separate organiza-
ton. If they are silly enough to be caught
with such chat, lot them go Anti Slavery pro-
LESSONS which are the price of official station

THE A~NTI-SLAYERY BUGLE.

not unite upon it, and the North repudiated It.
The correspondent of the Pittsburgh Gazette
says;
Mr., Bayly of Virginia raked up the mrsty
records of Democratic conventions, caucus
es. &c. &C., to show what was Democratic
doctrine on slavery, and to prove that Beale's
proposition was the darkest and most dan
eerous heresy. lie declared that, according
to all his reading and study, nobody could be
n Democrat, who did not stand upon the
Cass platform of n~on-inte,vention. And after
Mr.. Bayly, and other Southern sages of de-
mocracy had riddled this peace offering, SO
that it was but a thing of mere shreds and
patches, with the day light streaming through
it in every direction, Mr.. Thompson ofPa.,
excited the %unbounded establishment of the
chivalry, by informing them, in his good
humored and joucular, yet telling manner,
that he was as much opposed to this pfopo-
sition as any one of them could be. It was
nothing but an excuse, an apology, a tolera-
ton of their principles which he and his
constituents, and nine tenths of the Demo-
cratic party at the North, held upon the
subject in question. Theirs was the old
creed of the democracy. 1t came down TO
them by prescription. 1t was older than the
times of Washington, Jefferson, and Nathan
Dane, when it received form and expression.
He would accept no such concession. He
would hold his creed by right, not by suffer
unce, and would vote for Bayly's motion to
lay on the table. To prevent thai being
done, by the united vote of North and
South, MIR. Beale Withdrew the resolution.
We shall have more to say about this election
of Speaker when we know moro the
management by which it was effected. Mean
while, let us rejoice that the chair is filled by a
South has her triumph in a shape of ell Others
best calculated to help agitation at the North.

From the Norfolk Herald.
Fugitive Slaves Returned,

Yesterday morning the schooner Minerva
Wright, Smith, from Wilmington, N. z.
bound TO New-York, put into this port to
land TIVE young colored men, slaves, wine
had been found concealed in the hold
Captain Saith stated that he sailed from
Wilmington ON the 25th ultimo. On the 9TH
instant, being off Little Egg Harbor, with
in seventy miles of New-York,) heard some
ono call out from the hold, sWaterl water"
ard soon after discovered two persons hid in
the space between the cotton bales and the
deck! The boys gave their names as Geo.
Walker, belonging to William g. Betting
ham,, and Thomas Wooster, belonging to
John Wooster. They stated to the mayor
thai they went on board the schooner three
days before she sailed, taking with them a
two-gallon Jug of water and some bread aud
cheese. George, who is quite an intelligent
fellow, said that after exhausting their stock
of water their suffering from thirst was past
all endurance. lie had about 800 slowed
away in a belt which he wore around his
waist, and 500 so in notes and gold, His
companion had only a four dollar note.-
Both protested most solelnnly that 10 person
but themselves had the slightest knowledge
or suspicion ofthe elopement. 90
The oppressed and down trodden of other
nations find homes, protection ind a well
come when they reach our soil. But the
Slave who attempts to escape from u worse
than Russian or Austrian servitude, is not
only repulsed but taken back to chains and
stripes. For such is the law of this Land of
Freedom!
But the South is not satisfied with holding
nearly 100000 of men and women to "ser-
vice and labor" for ever. An effort is now
making to extend Slavery over Free Soil
And we are told that u refusal TO yield TO this
demand will dissolve the Union.
To this the North has but one answer
Slavery must go no farther. We concede all
that the Constitution gives to Slavery. We
abide by all its unhappy compromises. But
there we pause. And there Slavery must
pause.
Heretofore, some have been intimidated
by threats. Others have been suborned by
office. Others again have been swayed by
appeals to their magnanimity. And all
have been more or less influenced by their
regard for the integrity of the Union. But
neither " fear, favor, nor the hope of reward "
will again intimidate, ~propitiate nor corrupt
the North. Our Mexican possessions are
free, and cost what it may, they will remain
free.-W. Eve. Jour.
