MkSSRS EDITORS IL clip the following from the
Free Territory Sentinel of this week. concerning the
course of Mr.. Julian, Free Soil Democratic Con-
gresham, on The vote or election for Speaker; and
whilst the democracy of this district may approve of
the outline there given of his intended conduct,
yet they justify the and spirit of
cle as given editoriay in that paper But il is not
expected by the democracy that he. the Representa-
tive Of the tco parties, may say of the almost
party, wiz prove recreant &c the trust conded to his
keeping that he will give cause of regret to his
friends in this district that that reposed in
him, by entering into any arrangement of the
members of the Free Soil party 10 annoy and dsar-
range the and measures which the old democ-
rncy may find necessary 10 pursue in the orgnnza
ton of the House. For myself would prefer to see
some Northern or Western Democrat the nominee Of
party instead of Mr.. Cobb of Georgia, much as
respect bis talents and Abilities and therefore present
among the many names, that of DAVID T. Disney,
the member from Ohio.
Although Mr.. Disney is young member Of the
House, yet from the character and reputation he pos
sesses, and his knowledge of parliamentary rule and
Legislation, satisfied he would ma Ike an able and
efficient officer. Independent of this fact the young
giant Stale of Ohio is entitled some of the honors
of the House. and Disney being Western man. al
lied with and feeling deeply interested in our free
institutions, freedom of The Territories &c. Every
democratic free-soilcr could with all propriety
for him as Speaker in opposition to Winthrop any
other Taylor candidate, be he pure Wing or base
Taylorite.
present, then, the name of Mr.. Disney for the
consideration of the democracy, knowing that with
such man the vote of Mr.. Julian would be certnin
and the hopes and expectations Of the old Burnt
district" realized and confirmed.
notice your remarks my article concerning the
qualifications of candidates for The offices to be filed
by Legislature; and sorry that you miscon-
strue my intention in writing it. did not to
cast reflection on Mr.. Morton, either personally or
to coin phrase, pro oGcio; but rather to call the
attention of the Legislature TO the fact of the neces
sity of age, experience and wisdom being among the
qualifications Of the candidates; and argued that
young men could not have these; hence the mpropr-
ETY. of their friends pushing their claims forward in
such haste. Had these qualifications been the test
of our Fund Commissioners, our Gale Smiths and
others, the State of Indiana would have been saved
the shame and stigma of reputation and bankruptcy.

The SPEAxERsHIP.-We clipped from the Rush.
vile Jacksonan, a week two since, article in
relation 10 the organization of the u S. House of
Representatives, which we designed to copy but UNI
fortunately have mislaid it. The article stated
that certain Free Sellers, and among them Mr. Julian,
would probably with the Democrats in the organ
izatiOn of the House What reason the Jacksonan
has for this superstition cannot imagine. Whether
Mr.. Julian other Free Sellers will act with the
Democrats, will depend think, upon The charac-
ter of the respective candidates. In regard 10 the
Speakershp, there has been much speculation to
who will be candidates and how the parties will
range themselves. On this subject the National Era
which we regard as pretty good authority, says:
"The probability is that The following gentlemen will act
together far the organization Of the House, its
lsOns TO Slavery, is concerned via Amos Tuck, Charles
Allen, Walter Booth, Preston King, David Wilmot John w.
Howe, ]. r. Giddings JOSEPH M. Root George W. julian
Charles Durkee. and. if elected, John G. Palfrey.
Il" Wings and Democrats, in caucus select their
ddaes for the speskenhp men not to be trusted on the
subject Of Slavery far il lies within the federal jur
deiOn these gentlemen will not feel themselves under any
Obligation support, them. We very much mistake the
character Of the they d. not undertake mansge
their Affairs in their way, suffering diciaon
from administration or INSTRUMENTATION They
fully competent to the task and the people who elected
them believe So"
Other Intelligence which we have on the subject
satisfies US that the Era is in all probability
IN It's calculation. Judging from present Indications
Mr.. Winthrop will be tho CAUCUS candidate of the
| Wings. and Cobb, of Georgia, of the Democrats
Neither of these could Free Sellers consistently
support. MIR. Cobb is Southern man. Shareholder
and on advocate of the peculiar institution" In
the organization of the several Committees he would
unquestionably have a special regard to the Slave
question. For Free Soier to give hisvoe for such
man Speaker, would be the grossest dereliction
of duty. complete treason against the cause he has
espoused. We do not believe any Free Soiler will
/ do tive feel entirely confident that the member
from this District. at least, will not but will act the
part of an honest, independent and consistent friend
of Freedom when the struggle comes. And whatev-
er Democrats out Of the District may hope or WISH
do believe that there is Democrat in the Dis
trict that expects MIR. Julian to support any man,
Wing Democrat, who is welded TO the institution
of Slavery. If the Democrats bring out a man that
con be trusted on the question of Slavery.-that will
be true to the cause Of Human Liberty. Mr. Julian,
we think. will go with them, otherwise not. There
men in the Democratic party whom be could sup
port, but Mr.. Cobb is not one of them.
