The Speakership.

The of the opp osition factions in congress-
which united, are majority III the house, is every
where receiving the just condemnation of the people
1t is in vain that message from the President
is before them relating to vital business interests,
which demand early consideration or that the ati-
tude Of a foreign power, affecting the dignity and
honor of the nation, requires prompt action. This
majority is deaf TO the demands of patriotism as
it is lost to a sense OF seltreSpect.
Let the people look candidly at it's position. No
one can undervalue the political importance of the
speakershlp for 1t is enough to magnify it only to
state, that certain contingencies might make the
speaker to be the President Now the opposition held
up for such place politician, Nathaniel p Banks,
Jr., whose avoWed opinions and political course
directly Insulting 10 the unanimous public sentiment
Of fifteen states of this Union it possible for
them to be- His views as to prohlbitOry legislation
by congress as to slavery in the territories the
anna gamation of races as to political action on
slavery, regarded by the south grossly insult
ing and were they incorporated into legislative acts,
would, beyond doubt, destroy this Union. The
spirit which animates him. as to one whole section
OF the country IS we'll seen In his Waltham speech.
In it he said
He was against all measures which lead TO the
establishment of the principles enunciaed at the
SOUTH and against the men who supported them, and,
said he, by the eternal God, will never yield to
those princi pies those persons moments sup
port "
10 cap the climax are his views as to Cuba. The
feeling at the SOUTH as to what is termed the Afri-
canlzatlon OF Cuba, of the most decided character
for the tate of this county is looked upon
ton with the paramount law of self preservation
Now Mr.. Banks is not only in favor of applying the
Wlmot proviso to Cuba, but he is in favor of a mea-
sure that, al the south, is viewed as one which, if
carried out, would create cause of war The re-
port of this speech reads
" But think, said Mr.. Banks, if Spain manumts
the slaves of Cuba, she will do just what she ought
to do He believed she would do it, and he did not
think the Atncanization of Cuba, would be great
q calamity as it was deemed at the south"
This is the politician who the black republicans and
know nothirgs-1O0 of them-say shall be speaker ;
or there shall be no speaker This is the candidate
whom the democracy are called upon substantially
TO elect by going for the plurality rule!
While too much credit hardly be given 10 the
glorious band of patriots who in resisting this posi-.
ton, are standing by the principles of the constitu-
ton and the Union, so The of the banded fac
TONS who insist deliberate insult TO the country
IN the election of Banks, cannot be too severely de-
nounced. The heaviest condemnation is to write,
hat it is contrary to that wise and fraternal policy
which originally made these states one country, and
which has kept them until now in the bonds of a
common naturalization Post
