Hard kun.-We regret that we are without
the necessary space in which to republish ex.
tracts from recent Republican w ashington
correspondence relative to the prospect of
speedy organisation. With one accord such
writers unite in expecting the Democrats to
resolve to help to elect Mr. Banks by their
| direct or indirect cooperation. Some assert
that ten or twelve Of the Democrats are about
to vote for the plurality rule &" to elect Mr..
Banks, while others insist that perhaps that
number are about to slip quietly out of the
hall In order to bring about such q result.
TO our readers in Washington we need hardly
say that such representations are evidence
that the writers are wholly devoid of common
| sense, or know that those for whom they write
lack ordinary perceptions. To our distant
readers We have to say that they may put in
their pipes and smoke up all such CANNON, at
their leisure. If you desire to comprehend
why it is we give you such advice, just read
attentively the record of yesterdays proceed,
ings; and then ask yourself wher, where, a.
how Mr.. Banks is to get direct or IN
support from the Democratic side of Il 'uAn''

The Republican Caucus Last Night was
attended by about ninety gentlemen. Mr..
Campbell, of Pa, was in the chair, and
Messrs. Morgan and Benson acted as secreta-
ries. Messrs. Letter, Grow, Campbell Of Ohio,
Kunkel, Thorington, Norton, Brenton, Mace,
Watson, and others, spoke upon various points
in the policy Of their party, on which much
feeling was manifested The question mainly
in issue was, whether their party could with

about twenty-five only manifested disposition
to change it, 1t is said, finally, to have been
voted to stick to Banks till the cows come
home. They adjourned shortly after IL p. m.
