Election OF Speaker.

Some six weeks or more ago, we predicted
that the plurality rule world be adopted, that it
would be adopted at the instsgation and BY the
votes Of Democrats, the Southern Democratic
members. Utmost without exceptions. preferring
the electionof Banks, for party reasons alone.
Our prophecy has been fulfilled to the letter.
N. p. Banks is the Speaker of the House of
Representatives, and he is Speaker in conse-
quence Of the votes of Southern Democrats
for the adoption of the plurality rule.
We call the attention of the Southern peo-
pie, of all parties, to the facts developed in the
course Of the long protracted struggle for the
Speakership. On almost dozens Of occasions
the National Americans indicated their prefer
ence and their readiness to cooperate with the
conservative elements of the House, come from
what quarter they might, in the organization.
But these offers and propositions were almost
instantly rejected on every occasion on which
they were presented. 1t was the deliberate in
tention Of the Democrats Of the South to so
manage and intrigue during the conflict, to aid
in the election of Banks, SO far as they could
dc so without publicly casting their votes for
him. Hence, while, as whole, they refused to
vote for the plurality rule, We. they sent out
enough volunteers to effect their object. And
tie consequence inevitably was that Banks was
elected
We, therefore, appeal to the country, to say,
whether the Southern Democrats are not solely
responsible for the unfortunate and ominous
result of Banks election.

ties Of our common kindred, to disayow these
|usurpations, which would Inevitably interruptthe
good feeling that should exist between u.s.. They
have alike bsen deaf to the voice of justice and
Aonor.
We therefore, the native born people Of the
United States Of. America, agpealF1 90 the Su-
preme fudge Of the World for tke fectitNdc of our
of our intentions do, in theu6rlo d out Country,
solemnly publish and declGEe that or govern
ment of right ought to be and lereafter shall be,
free from all foreign influence; that the naturali-
cation laws have proved injurious to the country,
ought to be, and shall be, totally dissolved. And
for the support of this Declaration. with the firm
reliance on the protection of Divine Providence,
we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our
fortunes and our sacred honor.

MR. SpEAKER:-Sir, our Teller citizen Mister
Silas Higgins, who was lately member of this
legislature, is dead, and be died yesterday in the
forenoon. He had the br0wncreturs, and was an
uncommon individual. His chat acter was good
up to the time of his death, and he never lost his
voice. He was 6fty-six years old, and was taken
sick before he died ut his boarding house, where
board can be had at one seventy-fve q week,
washing and lights included. He was an ingenus
creatur and in the early part Of his life had Ia
ther and mother. He was an officer in our State
militia since the last war, and was brave ane DO.
lite, and bis uncle, Timothy Higgins, belonged
to the revolutionary war; and was commissioned
as leftenant by General Washington first Presi-
dent and commander in chief of the army and ma
Wy of the United States, who died at Mount YER
non deeply lamented by large circle of friends,
on the 14h of December 1899 or there abouts
and was buried after his death with military hon.
ors, ond several guns was bust in firing salutes
Sir, Mister Speaker, Sir, General Washington
presided over the great continental sandhedrum
and political meeting that formed our Constitu
ton; and he was indeed a great and good man
He was fust in war, fust in peace and fnst in the
hearts of his country, and tho he was in favor of
the United States Bank, he was friend of edi-
cation, and from What he said in bis farewell adj
dress have no doubt he would have voted for the
tariff Of 1886 ifhe had been alive and hadn't died
some time beforehand. His death was considered
at the time as rather premature on account of its
being bro't on by an ordnery cold.
Now, Sir, Mister Speaker, such being the char
acter Of General Washington motion that we
ware Grape around the left arm of this legislature
and adjourn till to- morrow morning as an emblem
of our respects to the memory of s. Higgins who
is Dead ard died of the browncreturs yesterday in

3 So Contest, IL,
I0ths approaching contest for the Predden-
cyswe anticipate that there will DO ! trenen-
doos struggle. The so-called Democrats party,
(but rightfuny the Anti. American party) arere-
solved, with the aid of foreigners, and uniting
with the Abolitionists. to defeat the American
party; but we hope the Amerieaa party 10 a.
fully dctrniaed not to be defeated. Yet the
latter, In order TO secure success, must present
nm undivided front--there mnst be perfect nnton
on the caadidates selected.
What are the differences between the two
partiess The Democrats adhere to the present
policy fspermitting the iaiis and poor-houses Of
Europe ~ be e,n piled upon Our shores--to the
present system of naturaiixation-to the con-
troll OF foreign infaeace and the continual agi-
tation Of che darsry question. The Americans.
on the contrary, wish to have the 4convicts and
paupers Of Europe kept at home; to restrain
the evils which arise under the present naturali-
zaticn laws, by extending the time Of residence
before becoming citizens; to give TO the natives
OF the soil the control Of public affairs; to ex-
stend the blessings of education, through the
medium Of public schools, to all classes of So
ciety, and to the children Of ailreligious denom-
nations and forever put an end to the slapery
agitation. Judge ye. friends Of rational liber-
ty, which party we will choose.
The recent proceedings in Congress show
that the Democrats are already beginning to
rally their strength in every hole and corner Of
the Union, and expect BY a mighty struggle to
overwheim the American party. The cause
espoused by the Americans is just and holy
and should command the support of every son
of the soil. We shall be greatly mistaken If Q
sufficient number do not rally in favor Of the
American candidates, to elect them by mos,
triumphant majority over all other parties. In
deed, it is time that old things were done away;
that corrupt practices In elections should cease
Let every American by birth or adoption, who
would have public affairs undergo purifying

Second Declaration Of Indcpen-
dcnCe.

When, IN the course of human events, it be-
comes necessary for people to dissolve the po-
litical bonds which have connected them with
Others and to assume among themselves the
separate and equal station TO which the laws OF
nature and Of natures God entitled them, de-
cent respect for the opinions humankind require
that they should declare the causes which impel
them to that separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident; that
though all men are created equal. and endowed
by their Creator with certain inalienable rights,
among which are life, liberty, and the pursuit Of
happiness there are those who, from false ed
ucation, or prejudices instilled in childhoodcan-
not appreciate the blessings Of free govern
ment. That though national rights are secured
by the government Of these United States to
foreigners, a vast majority Of those upon whom
these privileges are conferred, do not appreciate
or regard them. On the contrary, they seek to
encroach upon our form Of government-ago gov
eminent sacred to those who have inherited not
only the form, but thespirit of liberty.
We also hold, that it is the right Of the people
to alter or abolish, any principle Of government;
and that it is their duty to alter or change that
which is injurious 70 themselves, or contrary to
the spirit of their free institutions. That the
American people have patiently submitted to
repeated injuries and ururpations, all having, In

and liberal provisions of our laws relative to
