1t may be safely assumed that the great
mass of the American people, in any technical
or extreme sense, are neither party men nor
politicians Nothing more Is necessary to
prove this than &c refer to the general poverty
of both these classes, and to the industry, en-
terprise and wealth of the country. Capital
and all honest labor are conservative in their
very nature-they are faithful in the discharge
Of obiigations-they seek the rewards due to
their use and their industry. They consti-
tute the real source Of government in the
party and before mere personal interests
The contest for the Speakership has degen-
Grated into disgraceful intrigue for indivi-
dual and party advancement. The Seward
phalanx, consulting the majorities Of the North,
have organized on that basis alone, and have
entered Congress with all their fell purposes of
disunion. Mr.. Banks is their candidate. He
becomes the representative and the embodi-
ment, by his own avowals of great Northern
party looking solely to Northern support, and
of course consulting Northern interests alone.
By the organic law of the republic there are
no sections. Our strength lies in our unity;
and that unity, if perpetuased at all, must be
perpetuated by perfect good faith to all the
constituent parts. The constitution is the only
compromise. It Is TO that compact that oil
should appeal; and when it shall fail to assure
justice to al the parts, according to the spirit
OF the federal Union, and on the social, politi-
cal and religious basis Of its ordination, the
government OF the United States will have
ceased to exist.
By the very nature OF the black republican
organization--by the avowals Of its leaders
by its creeds--i its rituals, and by tie insane
character Of its chief supporters, it must be ap-
parent that its triumph will be the downfall of
the republic. 1t is geographical party-it
draws its sustenance solely from the North-it
seeks TO control the government and to pro-
scribe the social and political Institutions and
persons Of the South. Under the guise Of
equality, it proposes the establishment Of a
hateful and proscriptiye tyranny.
Mr.. Banks is the candidate OF this party
The vote may be stated, for the time, as fol-

affected the men who assume the character Of
extreme nationality. We shall follow this az

and point to 1t a. IN era in our existence a. .
nation.
Is there anything in this vote indicating
that the one hundred and three men who
oppose Banks do 20 from motives higher than
portys Was there any change? When the
black republicans, grown impsdent by six
weeks showings of their strength over the
democrats and Know Nothings, thus sepa-
rated, declared their ultra adhesion to abo-
litioniem, was it the service the latter were
called upon to perform thus to adhere to
Richardson and Fuller? Was treason less
to be avoided that it assumed to execute
its purposes in the House of Representatives
by electing as its presiding officer the most
dangerous Of the traitors? And was it ON act
of faith and patriotism in those who assumed
to be sentinels upon the watch towers of the
constitution to quarrel and contend about
precedence?
We regard the caucuses of the democrats
and the sullen resolution and sameness of the
Know Nothings in this whole matter, as little
less than constructive, if not intentional, ad-
hesion to Banks. The former argue the folly
of having Speaker without majority. This
is partisan argument, which overlooks the
main question an argument we'll suited to the
Pierce policy, and well calculated to infict
upon the country the curse of an aboli-
ton Speaker. The Know Nothings, with their
thirty five or forty votes are in a still more
uDjustifable position. What has legislative
and executive reforms to do with the Speak
ership? 1t is not that, but an insane purpose
to keep the party together preparatory to
next years operations. These objects are
made TO outweigh the obligations of patriot
ism with both democrats and Americans, and
their pursuit may result in the election of an
abolition Speaker, and the fierce war Of sec
tons in the election Of 1856.

DEUCE IN THE PLANET SAruRN.-in
recent work entitled "The New Theory OF
Creation and Deluge," among other start
ling predictions 1t is stated that 1t Is Proot Ole
the rings which surround Saturn are con-
posed of water or snow. which at some iu-
ture time may descend and deluge the
planet, as ours was delu9ed in the days OF
Noah. 1t now appears that this event is
likely to take place little sooner than was
anticipated, for Sir David Brewster says
"Mr. Otto Sturve and Mr.. Bond have lately
studied with the great Munich telescope at
the observatory of Pulkoway, the third ring
Of Saturn, which Mr.. Lassels and Mr.. Bond
discovered to be fluid, These astronomers
are of the opinion that this fluid ring is not
of recent formation, and thatiit is not sub
ject TO rapid change; and they have come to
the extraordinary conclusion that the inner
border of the ring has since the time OF
Huygens. been gradually approaching the
body of Saturn, and that we may expect,
sooner or later, perhaps in some dozen OF
years, to see the rings united with the body
Of the planet" -.

FRuIT TREES KILLrp.-Fruit trees OF
all kinds, except the apple, have been ma
terially injured, if not destroyed by the sew.
Gritty Of the weather this winter. The dwarf
pear, peach and cherry, appear to have suf-
tered the most, Mr.. Finley informs us that
he will lose full 100 900 of his trees, but
still he may have sufficient to supply the
demand. Nursery men generally will be
heavy sufferers. In the infancy OF fruit
culture in our State such calamity is to be
greatly deplor ed, and we trust that its ex-
tent will not prove so great as ut present
apprehended.

TELEGRApH.-From some cause unex-
planned the telegraph reports failed to
reach US yesterday. The telegraph office
in this city, we are informed, is doing a
payinq business and that its receipts already
double those Of the Office in Rock Island.
Our young friend, Mr.. Huxley, is atten-
tive to his business and may generally be
found at his post.
