HUMPHREY MARslIALL's Position DEFINED
When Humphrey Marshall, of Kentucky, was
our Minister to China we believe he rather in
c)ned to the side Of the butchering imperial
lists, as more conservative party than the
bioodthirsty rebels, assuming to establish Chris
tianity by fire and sword. So low Mr.. Mar
shall, as a member of Congress, is dead against
Seward and the black republicans as safe po-
sitjon TO start upon. Read his letter, which we
publish in this paper, defining his position.
FIRST, he'is opposed to the abolition league who
are supporting Mr.. Banks for Speaker. Sc
cond, he is opposed to fusion Of the twelfth
section Know Nothings with the democrats
upon the basis of the Nebraska bill. Third il
driven to the wall by the plurality rule, he
will vote for democrat in preference to q
black republican, as choice OF evils bat he
links that the mountain ought to go to Maho-
met, from the fact that Mahomet finds it de-
cided'y uncomfortable to go to the mountain.
We give Mr.. Marshall the benefit Of hearing,
and leave him and his party to figure it up for
The mselves where they are to go, and what
they are TO do
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1855-12-27

great rational trust, to discharge which men
are required to surrender mere personal, and
even party preferences and to array them
selves on the side of their country. The first
on'y OF the majority in the present Congress is
to insure the defeat of Mr.. Banks, who has be-
Gene the exponent and embodiment OF faction
aud treason 10 the constitution. IT this can DC
effected by adberiDg to Richardson and Fuller,
let it be done; hut adherence TO them, by which
the triumph Of Banks is rendered possible, is
constructive treason to the country.
The black republicans bold their present
position in Congress by false pretences- They
carried in 1854 thirteen States, having an az
gregate representation in Congress OF about
1870 members. This years elections reversed
the popular judgments in Maine, New York,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Indiana ana Wis
coDsip, which, deducting them by States, re-
dnces their force to about fifty members. To
his general extent the aboiitionists are strong
er in Congress than with the people. The
Kansas act was seized upon, and being misun-
derstood in 1854, the black republicans gained
their present apparent force in the House. The
recent elections served no other purpose than
to interpret the opinions Of the people after
another years reflection. Now there is no use
in attempting to disguise it, that Seward aud
his phalanx rest their cause upon the broadest
hostility to the doctrines Of popular rights, as
avowed in the Nebraska-Kausas law. They
urge Mr.. Banks as the embodiment of their
policy in this respect. He is to be met and de-
teated, if at ALL by the friends Of that law; and
TO effect this object is now the highest duty de-
volviDg upon Congress.
What is wanted is Speaker of trre national,
| patriotic opinions. 1t is not important who be
! is, or where ne comes FROM or to what party he
belongs. Something higher and nooler than
party obligations is to be discharged. 1t is the
soul of faction itself to meet the formidable
menace Of the eDemies of the constitution by a
blind adherence to old political associations;
to continue to contend and quarrel about what
at most becomes mere personalities when the
arch enemy is in the field with all his weapons
| of mischief.
1t is full time, then, that the patriotism Of
| the House should have practical expression
| 1t is not enough that it is able to prevent the
election OF black republican as Speaker: it is
required to agree upon some true, patriotic, ma
tional man, and make him the presiding officer
of the House at once.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1855-12-27

"CAN SucH THINGS BE?''-The Richmond
(Va) Examiner, an independent democratic
paper, insists upon the Reputation Of Col.
Forney and the Washington Union, and the
substitution of something more respectable,
as the central organ of the democratic party.
1t appears that the President having utter
~ failed to fasten the Union company, with
or without Colonel Forney, upon the Sc
nate as their printers, the whole matter has
been postponed by democratic Senatorial eau
Gus to the second day of January. Where
upon our merciless Richmond contemporary
claps his hands to the following music OF ex-
uliatoD:--
There several suspicious signs in the midst Of the
fog and cloud which envelops political matters at Wash
ngton 1t ia gratifying to every honest democrat to see
that in spite Of is yes Of agony and screams msrcy
Warrington 1n,on and that Forney and Nicholson are
ca he'd gnominously out of the very kitchen
o. TIE White House me omom y evidently s sassS s.
teepes precpice Of despair we respectfully solicit all
lovers Of morality, political decency, consistency and
honor TO 'sand fr, under, and let the immaculate
Forpey have clear undisturbed and glorious smash
Our amiable Richmond anti-Forney demo
cIat then proceeds to say that it is "a settled
thing" that Colonel Forney 'must retire from
puNlC llJc LuuL Tic uCiuUCluLC IACAuclo
of the House of Representatives repudiate
him, the Senate ssorns to make him printer, and
the Washington Union will be his most appro-
pirate winding shetland that eve have the
refreshing spectacle of the Union founderins,
with Forney at the helm" Very well. The
New YoRK HERALD admonished the democratic
party in Congress in season of the dangers in
which they would become involved by the
election Of Colonel Forney as Clerk of the
House. Now they may settle the issues be-
tween him and the Washington Union on the
one side, and the Virginia and New York hard
she'll democracy on the other side, as best they
can. If the President should suffer the mis-
fortune of having his favorite put upon the
retired list, we hope that the country will sur
vive it.

which the important day is to be named for

The disposition on the part of merchants to await
the receipt Of later foreign news combined with the
advent of the holidays had the effect yesterday, to
check TO some extent the usual activity in trade
The sales of cotton reached about 500 bales, the
market closing firm. Flour closed firm at about the
quotations Of Monday. Transactions in wheat were
chiefly confined to Southern white at about ~ IL q

lower prices Rye was firm at 81 81. Pork, beef
and lard were heavy, with moderate sales. Sugar
and coffee were firm, but sales were quite limited
Freights were steady for European ports; grain in
bulk to Liverpool taken ut Sd, -four at 3s., and
