account of their stewardship, fearful will be the
reckoning. 1t is time our representatives were re-

A PaIpable hit.

day, In the House OF Representatives, Mr.. Eng
fish, Of Indiana, was green enough to sheer at
one Of the rallying cries Of the American party,
and thought 1t strange that those who insisted
that /" Americans shall rule America" could
not make Speaker. Mr. Dunn, his col league,
a gentleman who, If we mistake not, Is destined
to hold prominent place in Congressional an
nails, very deliberately spiked the gun Of the
indiscreet factionist, by asking "if Americans
are not to rule America, who shall ruler" This
was home-thrust which every member Of the
House saw and felt was well deserved and APP
propriate; and we venture to say, the champ
ion of foreignism will be cautious how he ven
lures upon dangerous ground
Itwould be really amusing if disgust did not
naturally spring up to see with what self-com-
placency the Democratic factionists plume
themselves upon their fidelity to Forney & Co.
The only "patriotic" result they achieve, is to
perpetuate the official existence of the Treasu-
ry leeches, one of whom daily applauds them
for their " firmness in keeping him supplied
with double rations, and in staying off to the
latest possible moment the exposure Of prodi
gality and corruption.
Mr.. Dunn is right; and the people Of the
country will adopt his question as motto:
"If Americans shall not rule America, who
shall2" The question can be answered in but
one way and, if the American party do not
prove as blind as beetles and as stupid as nat
ural-born idiots, the question will be triumph
antly solved in November next

that portion at least of the seventy -four i'm
maculates are ready for a compromise with
any party that viii give them the Speaker, by
which the old hacks can be put in charge of
the committees; and, by obstructing or mis-
directing Legislation, throw the blame on the
opposition majority. This can be done, it viii
be remembered, through the rules, which pre-
vent action upon subjects not reported by a
committee; and if the majority can be thus
embarrassed, the object Of the factionists will
have been attained. Let the people watch the
obstructionists and judge whether spirit Of
faction or Of true patriotism is the controlling
motive of action.
But the country should know that only for
ty-fve Of the Democracy pledged themselves
in caucus to hang together and reject all COM
promise.
The remaining thirty are not tied hand and
foot, though they seem to be at present very
willing victims of the tyranny exercised over
| them. 1t il evident that Richardson can never
be the Speaker of this House Of Representa-
tives; and if anything is to be secured to the
Democracy by the detection Of their opponents,
it must be under some other champion. But
the truth cannot be too often repeated, that
the Democratic party in the House are self
pinioned faction, enclosed by a barrier which
prevents either ingress or egress. No party,
or fragment Of party, can join them. in their

washington Correspondents.

The recent structures of certain Washington COR
respondents upon the refusal of several Northern
members Of the House to cast their votes for MIR.
Banks, brought out the Hon. Mr.. Dunn Of Indiana
yesterday, as our readers are aware. Mr.. Dunns
duct here in l849, listened to with the closest
attention, and made an impression on the House
which will not easily be eaced by any explanation
or apology which Mr.. Greeley may deem it neces-
sary to make in order to clear up his character.
He stands before the world as calumniator of bet
ter men than himself In the same category stands
the correspondent of the New York Times, jour
nal edited by Greeey's little villain, the Lieu
tenant Governor of New York.
During the castigation scene !" in the House,
yesterday, Greeley was spectator Of his own ex-
ecution, and looked as If he would like to stuff
his ears full Of leaves" as his bographer tells us
his custom was when cannon was fred of in his
hearing. He presented an exceedingly pitiable
spectacle.
The Washington correspondents, of the class to
which we alude, seldom write upon any subject
without mercenary motive. They are implicated
in nearly all the schemes to depete the Treasury,
and hence their indignation at the failure of the
House to organize. They have selected the chair
men Of the most important committees, with spe-
cial eye to their own interest. They have deter
mined that all important appropriations shall first
pay toll to them. We hear that some of these per-
| sons have boosted that they can make from five
to ten thousand dollars year in this way. 1t is
undoubtedly true-and being true, Informs dark
and disgracefu feature in the history Of Congress
sional legislation.

ponse Of his services, provided he can keep
Forney & Go. in holiday attire for the coming
contest. The Colonel must either anticipate q
promotion or have become ashamed Of the com
pany he keeps, or else must have warm side

willing to let go of the few hundred now within
his grasp, solely to keep Forney and other
lackeys in good humor Hurrah for Colonel
