When Mr. winthrop was first candidate
two years $50, 1t will be rscolectea that he was
addressed by Messrs Giddings. Palfrey and per
hars one or two others requiring hin 10 give some
ASSURANCE tha. he would give an Ant-slsyery
complexion 70 the Committee on the District and
that on lbs Territories. he refused 70 give any
such assursLee, and his oatechsts voted against
rim. believe his course Oh that occasion was
approved by nine-tenths Of sill those who ever
thought of il. Now sinila- requifiloD il made
from tho opposite quarter not Of any candidate
but Of the entire party; and because It IL not com.

Perhaps they think they are strengthening the
Administration by their course, but don't while
every one not wilfully blind see that they are
flaming the enbors Of sectional dissensions into
fame that threatens TO Ov6rrun the country. If
they do, let the responsibility rect where II
belongs.
hr. Winthrop has served through ore Congress
rs Speaker. As msn do not love him,-indeed,
l css barely claim to know hin-and there can
therefore be no personal bias in my judgment THAI
the Wing Members can present no other oandi
date 20 well calculated to preside over the House
ably, discrestly and accepiAty. do not say slere
are no; Wings more III for Speaker on the floor
/ only say the House has no evidence th.' there
are suOb To drop Mr.. Winthrop, therefore, even
II II were evident that some other Wing could be
chosen, would be 10 run risk OF weakening tho
power OF the Chair and diminishing the capacity
of the House to perform its duties with energy and
dispatch. IS yet, however. there 10 no evidence
that the Wings coUld give anybody else more votes
