The SneakerShin.

The contest has not ended as we hoped, but
there Is reason to be glad that 1t is over. and
that the regular business of Congress can be-
gin. Certainly no occasion exists for the whig
party to regret the manner of its defeat. 1T has
failed to elect the Speaker because 1t would
not resign itself to the ultra Southern influence
instead of standing where it has always stood.
on the ground of freedom and fidelity to the
Constitution. 1t has been beaten for refusing
to sign virtual remuneration Of its opposition
10 the spread Of Slavery, point as to which
the Loco Focos had nothing to resign, and con-
cerning which they, OF course, could have no
scruples.
The wings might have elected the Speaker
any time since the opening Of the Session,
could they have been brought 10 agree upon a
man with a name, antecedents and geograph-
zeal position of the right stripe according to
the standard of Slavery ProPagandists. As it
is. they have been defeated on a man who
goes against slavery extension; their oppo-
nents have chosen man who goes for it
Lst the free people of the north Judge between
them.
This whole struggle has turned upon Slave
~. and has brought cut new phrase Of the
question. In times past we have heard great
deal Of the folly Of hair-brained Northern fan
atics who have auitated the subject. Now the
tanaticism is on the other side. The aglta-
ton comes from the opposite quarter slave
ry is in the field with its armor on to fighten
down and over ride all opposition and not con-
tent with carrying on manly combat, II seeks
in every trifie an occasion for an onset. has
pires to dictate on the lowest things, as well
as the greatest, and viii not be satisfied with
less than the same absolute control which It
exercises on its own plantations. 1t sets up
an uuheard ofand monsTous rule of orthodoxy
and lets nothing pass that will not adapt itself
to that measure. Now we say IN all frank
ness TO Southern gentlemen that this Is an un-
wise course in every point Of view. They do
not gain by 1t one single advantage. Ihey
Tighten nobody aud add nothing to their own
strength They do nothing TO ensure the ex-
tension Of Slavery into New Mexico-indeed
they can do nothing to bring the Northern
People to assent to that-and at the same
time they provoke new sectional anlmCsltles
which viii be hard 10 ohliterate. Possibly
they cannot help doing this: they are In an
unfortunate position; any set of men who in
this age attempt to defend and propagate slave
r. are so; but we assure them that they are
making the most calamitons defense possible
for their own cause. This we do not regret
in itself, but in losing that cause they may
lose other things for which others as well as
themselves may hereafter have reason to be
sorry. However, there IS no great likelihood
that they will heed our counsel; bue as prom
inent feature Of the times their recent move
ments excite q feeling beyond curiosity and
anxiety.

expressed our opinion. lie IS the best man
