SPEAKER BASKs.--Nhen Mr. Banks was
nominated for Speaker. and especially when
he was supported with such tenacty, IL was
prophesied. proclaimed, with the utmost as
surance, that his election would be tanta-
mount to a dissolution Of the Union that
the South would not submit that the popular
branch Of Congress should be under Repub-
lican rule, with its chief officer, its chairman
of the committee of ways and means, and
q majority of every important committee, Re-
publican; such thing was not to be toler-
ated Southern ch.valry would s'see blood
aow in the halls of Congress" before such n
contamination should be permitted. But he
was adhered to, firmly and inaexibly, with a
high resolution that he should be elected, and
elected not only because he was eminently
qualified for the position, but because he re-
f, Aectcd the political sentiments Of those who
voted for him,--becausc he was Republic
can. And, amidst threatenings, and clamor,
and ferocious denunciations, under charges
of sedition, of factious proceedings, and OF
periling the public business, they adhered, rs
/, was their right and duty, like honest and
dauntess men. And they elected their can
didate. Thcy accomplished oil the ends
they aimed mt. They triumphed, thoroughly
and completely. Republicanism has reign
ed over and controlled the more important
~ II ho 1nv nj
It's organization. And still the Union en-
dures. IL is no weaker to day than it would
have been if any one Of the candidates OF
Black Democracy had been elected. Does
any man believe it, Wouldn't you laugh in
| the face of my man who should assert 1t?
Wouldn't you set him down for Ounce or
| bigot? Nay-the Union is the stronger for
| it, and every friend of the Union may thank
the Republican body of the House for ad-
ding to it's strength and 6rmncss, By staying
the tide Of frantic, reckless Southern legisla-
ton which has brought upon us all the dan
ger with which we are now surrounded, and
which would have been greatly augmented
il the present House had been under the
auspices Of the Slavery Propagandists.
Firmly, impartially, and to the general
, satisfaction of the whole country, Mr.. Banks
has conducted the House through the most
| toilsome aud most excited session Il has ever
held. The result yindcates the wisdom and
the spirit of the Republican party in the
/ House, and singularly betittlcs the conse-
quence Of that stupid cry, ''The Union will
be Dissolved"
ILLINOIS EsKer.-20,0 900 people assembled
at DanvilIc the other day at q Fremont and
Dayton meeting. All northern Illinois is
alive with Rcpublicanism. Talk about Illi-
mis- being doubtful State. There were
never such meetings held on her territory as
the Republicans have held this year. But lie,
them keep on. DO not hold up for n mo-
ment. DO not rest on fancied security
Make thorough, SIRE work, and achieve .
victory that will make you enthusiastic b,
its completeness. Remember! you hay,
something to do 10 redeem your character fol
letting Douglas represent you so long.

ity OF a gentleman who has visited Col. Brant
j this, Fremont was still holder OF slaves
: notwithstanding his own denial that he eve
held property in human flesh, saying that il

to him as the property Of Col. Fremont

family make il their home when in st. Louis
