We copy from the Daily Globe, Of
the 26th ult., the following remarks
by Mr.. RICHARDSON, Of illinois explain.
atory Of his course in . matter which
has been much inisrepresen.ed, We
read it with renewed pride in the man
for whom the Democrats Of the Honse
so long voted:
Mr.. Richardson 10y unanimous
consent Of the House) said: ! desire
to submit u few remarks to the House
upon the same point to which the
gentleman from North Carolina Mr..
Craigs] has just spoken. Like him,
in certain portions Of the country
comments have been made upon the
fact that my name did not appear
upon the record Of the final vote
for Speaker Of this House. . 1t is
known here that had paired Off with
Mr. Emr'e, Of Ohio. He had voted
steadily for you. Mr.. Speaker, for
some weeks before ] paired Off with
him. II both of u had voted the
result would have been the same
he would have voted for you, and l.
for Mr.. Aiken; and need not say
that, if ! had been entitled to vote, |
should have voted with great pleas
ure for my friend, Gov. Aiken, Of
South Carolina.
Mr.. Speaker, ! need not say to you.
nor need | say to this House, that l
was opposed to your clcction--not
upon any personal grounds; for be.
tween you and me there is no reason
why should have any personal objec-
ton; but it was upon political
grounds. 1t was upon the ground
that did not believe your election
would contribute so much to tighten
the bonds which bind these States
together, as would the election Of my
friend from South Carolina, Mr.. Al.
ken.
Its we'll known to the House, sir,
from the first moment of the struggle
to the close Of the contest, l was op.
posed to your election. And, sir, if !
had reasons for that opposition then,
they are doubtless strengthened now.
| know that, if my friend from South
Carolina, had been placed in that
Chair, the section of the country from
which | come--the fifteen States
west Of the Allegheny mountains
would have had some Representatives
upon the Committee on Naval Affairs;
that, in the danger which 10 now i'm
pending over us, some voice would,
in that committee be heard in favor
Of increasing the Navy till our guns
could protect our commerce, aud take
care Of our interests in every ocean
upon the globe. There would have
been from those fifteen States more
lhan one voice upon the Committee
On Foreign Affairs, to urge. BY all
honorable means, the settlement Of
Ill difficulties between this country
and Great Britain but if our difficult
les cannot be honorably settled, if
war must be, then there will be .
million of soldiers ready to pour out !
heir hearts blood to defend our hon.
", our rights, and our soil beneath
he flag of our whole country.

THE ENLISTMENT CORES
PONDENCE.

We conclude to-day the correspon-
dcnce between our government and
that of Great Britain, on the enlist
ment question. This correspondence
is marked by degree Of ability on
the part Of our secretary Of State and
Minister to England, which has sell
dom been equalled. 1t will be read
with pride by every true friend Of bis
country, not only because Of the supe-
rior talents displayed BY two Of our
greatest statesmen, but because it will
satisfy every unprejudiced mind,
whether in America OF England, that
we have justice and right on our side.
The prctence put forth BY Lord Clar-
endon, that bis government has made
sufficient atoncmcnt for the wrong
done to our honor in the violation By
British officials Of our neutrality laws
and Of our rights ofsovereignty, is ut
terly exploded by the official record.
We were surprised . few days ago to
hear Mr.. Crittenden, and yesterday
Mr. Seward, undertake to maintain
that there was some plausible ground
for the assertion Of Lord Clarendon
There was some little excuse for Mr..
Crittenden, as he spoke without hav-
ing seen the correspondence; but Mr..
spoke with the record before
him, and went 20 far - to quote the
which he construed to be a
sufficient apology. As was most for
ribly said by Messrs. Pcarcc, and
and Mason, this language is
30 far from being a apology that it
rather aggravatcs the injury. The
reader will lind an interesting sketch
Of this debate in another column
Whilst it was going on, and whilst
Mr.. Seward was making his lame de.
Ience Of Lord Clarendon and Of Mr.
Champion, we could not help suppo-
ling that . portion Of his embarrsas-
mcnt was owing TO the fact that Mr..
Crainpton WAS seated behind him.

Who are Democrats?

The Washington Sentinel has settled the
rule by which man earns his title 10 the
name of Democrat. That paper says
We take occasion TO say that no man is
recognized as member of the Democratic
party who votes against Col. Richardson.
That our readers may have portrait of
this man, we copy the sketch as taken by
the editor Of the Louisville Journal, who
says:
"NIr. Richardson Of Illinois, whom the
Administration members support, is no
doubt ostensibly sound on the Kansas ques-
lion, but he is drinking, coarse, vulgar,
and rude man. The remarks in relation TO
him, copied by us day or two since from
the Clevelnnder, are true. We CHANGED
less than two years ago, TO be thrown near
where he and several other members Of
Congress were gathered in a circle by them
selves. A gentleman by our side pointed
him out TO us, and remarked, that ii we would
listen little while we should be certain to
hear some hard swearing. We didn't lis
ten but we couldn't help hearing. We
have heard, we are sorry TO say, vast
deal OF swearing IN our time; we have heard
sailors swear, we have heard flat-boatmen
swear, and we have even heard fsh-wo-
men swear, but never in all our lie did we
hear such horrible swearing as that OF the
administration candidate. The variety and
intensity OF his oaths were wonderful
And then the novelty Of many OF them
would have been amusing but for their bias
phemy. We could not help thinking that
he was in the habit of devolng more time
and study to the invention of new modes OF
swearing and cursing and disappearing than
to all other pursuits of life. We do believe
that he could out curse anything under Hea-
ven-except, perhaps, his Holiness the
Pope. But if nobody else will suit the sew
enty-four for the Speakership, they mus
stick 10 him. If they elect him, they viii
have Speaker to curse for them, and {
Chaplain to,pray for them"

A New GovERNoR FOR KANsAs.-The
Boston Journal says it is rumored in that
city that Ex-Governor Baker, Of New
Hampshire, is 10 be appointed Governor Of
Kansas, in place Of Governor Shannon.
1t is somewhat remarkable that the
President sticks to free States SO closely, in
his efforts to get man fit to govern the

The UNDERGRouND RAILRoAD.-WeI
had the pleasuse of seeing seven very in
teligent fine appearing iugitives, this morn
ing, fresh from the land of the peculiar
Institutions" the blessings of which they
seemed not at all to appreciate. Two Of
them, young married couple, left in Octo-
Der last, and have Just arrived, having been
delayed by sickness and the dangers of their
wearysome journey. One was from Della
ware; the other four from the same neigh
borhood This party when it left, consist
ed of four males and two females, all young
people. They came OIL in good order, for
time, in carriages, without opposition; but
before reaching tie borders of the Free
States they were attacked by party of six
whites. They took their horses from the
carriages, and mounted them, two Of the
men taken each female behind him, and L e
other two going singly.S Those with the fe-
males escaped, but the men who were alone
were probably captured, as they have not
been heard from. Tie seyel arrived at
Loguens' last night, where they were cared
for, and are probably, now on their way for

" are to have an arousement on Monday
next. Several distinguished speakers from
abroad are to address the meeting, ard an
organization will be commenced for The
summer canvass. The Peabody Journal
discovers the names of democrats appended
to the call for the meeting, and says it is a
good thing for the democracy, as they will
be cleaner and stronger. There is good
deal of dirt in the party yet, and will be, as
long rs Peabody sticks to it. 1t is to be
hoped he will never join the Americans, as
he would neither make them stronger or

OZARK LANTERN PARrY."-Irs ORIGIN.
In the "School History of the United
States" a new work strongly recommend
ed by many eminent scholars, we find the
following on page III. Itoccurs in the &C.
count given OF the battle of Bunker Hill:
sit was runored in the American camp
that on the night Of the 18th Of June, Gen.
Gage intended to seize and fortily Bunker
Hill. The Americans determined to antici-
pate him. On the evening of the 18th June
a party Of troops commanded by Col. Pres
colt, assembled at Cambridge ready for the
work. After prayer from the President
of Harvard College, with working tools,
muskets, and DARK LANTERNS, they
silently proceeded 10 the peninsula OF
Charleston"
So it seems the Shark Lantern Party
bears even date with the Revolution. The
Dark Lanterns in use by this generation Of
Americans are models of the Bunker Pat
tnt.

Richardson and Fuller Missouri Dele
cation.

6"VAoh'
II is known 10 our readers that the Mis-
souri, Delegation in Congress, have been d.
vided in their votes for Speaker. Messrs.
Oliver and Caruthers voted for Richardson,
the democratic candidate, OIL the ground that
Fuller, who was voted for by Kennett, Por-
ter and Indy, was opposed 10 Southern in
terests. All these gentlemen have made
speeches. defining their position and votes,
but we have not yet had room for any of
them.
We give to-day, however, from the eff
cial record-the Congressional Glnbe--the
position of Messrs. Richardson and Fuller,
as defined by themselves, in the House of
Representatives, on the 18th. A telegraph
ic report of their remarks was published in
former number, in which Mr.. Fuller was
not correctly reported.
We desire the special attention Of the rea-
der to the remarks of these gentleman, and
the position they now, and have occupied,
as it will assist TO Thorough understanding
Of what may be published on the subject
hereafter. We will give MIR. Lindlry
speech hereafter, as well as some further
remarks Of our own.
Mr.. Fuller has been denounced as Free
Soiler, and that portion the Missouri DEL
citation who voted for him, have also been
charged with retreancy 10 the Southland
all their friends have shared the same fate.
We submit that Mr.. Fuller is better
Southern man than Richardson, and point e
the record for proof. Let the BANNER
the Platte Argus" the dollar Journal, I
and other such bot. tailed, "power-test'' con.
Germs and politicians, read the position q
the two gentlemen, and defend Mr., Ridll-
ardson, il they can. He not only admifs
the power, but has voted for the exercised
not only has voted for lis exercise, but
\ "threatened" ''gentlemen from the South
" and Northern Wings" TO repeat the vote
for the Wilmot Proviso. There is Sou,l,,

back Six years hence, when office is tt
be gained, he may re-assert it. Yet we arr
told he is the man for the South, and Fuller
who denies the power, is called a Freesoil

so further?
Again Richardson is forced to adm
that he had said the Nebraska Act woul,
make Kansas free State! He did not So,
this in his public addresses, for he was talk
ing for the South; but he neuralized hi
public addresses with Northern Freesoiler
and abolitionists, by telling them, privately
that they were fools, and did not know wha
they were talking abOut-that the Nebras
ka Act would make Kansas a free State!
We have not room 10 follow the subjec
further to-day, but again invite perusal 0
the remarks of the gentlemen, and will re
fer to the matter again.

II has been charged that the Cabinet at

cription so far, as to turn out of Office, every
man who is suspected of Americanism, even
down 10 the laborers about the public
grounds.
The following letter from Mr.. Puryear, a
member Of Congress from North Carolina to
the Editor of the American Organ, will
throw some light upon this interesting sub
ject; and will show that at least one of the
departments at Washington is under the
control of Jesuitical influences. From the
answer of Mr.. King, it would seem that
the questions SIS he honest?" lis he ca
pable''? Are dispensed with. and the more
important question sis he foreigner! as
