The speakership. There appears to be 50
general disposition among the Democratic
members Of the House who have arrived in
Washington to vote for the Hon Mr.. Richard.
son, of Illinois, as their candidate for Speaker
that we take it for granted that he will be
nominated if Democratic party caucus be
held. 1t is understood that the position OF
the Democracy Of the House now among us
are invited to meet this evening at the house
OF fellow member for consultation, when II
will doubtless be determined whether reguIa,
nominations Of that party had best DO made
Whether the result of this contemplated pre.
liminary meeting be to make n nomination or
not, we presume that Mr.. Richardson will re-.
ceive the votes Of all his political friends in the
House, for the Speakership. This will be in a
measure on account Of his connection with the
enactment Of the Nebraska bill, the principle
Of which it is evidently designed to make the
leading feature of the Democratic party plat.
form in the approaching Presidential election.
AS gentleman and party man, no other
member deserves more than Mr.. r. ut the
hands CT those who act with him politically

unanimous vote for him for Speaker, though
his election may not thus be secured.
