The Washington correspondent Il the Alexan-
dria Gazetts. writing after the election oil speak
er, says:
The Democratic press will. no doubt. attempt
to throw the blame on the American party' put
il must be remembered that on more than one
occasion did the Americans vote tor Democrat
,vb;Ie mo, in one single instance did the Democrats
,a,o Far an American. In voting for Mr.. Oil
yer of Missouri, they voted for a Wing. not an
American. Mr.. Henry Winter Davisis the sPe-
cial object Of comment-that gentleman tand. by
the way, the only one from the South having
thrown his vote away. Now. while | do not
in the slightest, justify the vote of Mr.. Davi'.
vet I think the public should wait until he makes
an explanation which have no daabt he will
do-nnd then. If he fails I" justify himselt. it will
be time enough 10 condemn him. Until that
time. suspend judgment in the premises.

The Blecd N Of Speaker.

Our neiebbor is exceeding fierce on the Nation
nj Americans, who. on the fnal ballot for Speak.
or. voted for Fuller. and charges upon that party
in Congress the whole responsibility for the long
disorcsniratiou and the final triumph of the
Black Republicans. Now,we cannot help think
ing that il certain facts in the inception, prog
ress and ending of this matter had occurred 10
his memory,oar neighbour would not have arrived
at these conclusions. Let us state them nterro-
gatively: Was it the National Americans who
in preliminary caucus adopted basis Of action
which precluded association and CO operation n.
mcng those opposed to Banks Was it the A
merican party whe all sarcugh the con,cs, refus
ed to change that basis of action, although new
candidates were brought forward, Was
it the American party who repeatedly rejected
all compromise, and ali consultation oven, de-
claring that they would 60 into no caucus but OF
their.own men! Was il the American party
who refused TO vote for Gov. Smith. when. as the
vote stood, be could have been eiectcd' VAST
the American party that permitted the plurality
rule 10 be adopted, when Il was the only means
of eleoting Banks And finally. was it the Amer
lean party who, after the adoption of that rule,
refused to adjourn for purposes Of conference
and concert! II, from an inspection Of the
figures, our neighbour concludes that the co-ope.
ration OF all the Fuller men would have secured
the election of Aiken, and, by reason Of this.
eelshimseif justified in saying abusive and de-
rogaiory things Of them--we ask sc thu
measure ofabuse and apprehension is not due to
those Democrats who refused to unite upon Gov.
Smith, when by 80 doing they .woaid have elected
him Now, 'ietus SEQ how the language oi the
Republican would have applied to the ballo, on
whicl.G Gov. Smith received the support Of the
Natieual Americans. ,WecoW changing only
ats application:
IAN inspection of the votes win sa,c. who were
the guilty parties and prove to the South aud
couatry that tho responsibility rests upon several
aes,N nc, and some of them South ern national De-
mocrats. There baye been many laboted, but
futile efforts made by the Soutt era Denoerdiie.

ure 10 organize the 4Asnersc1s party

ganization rests with ii,em--wita them slcue.--
