House aud the country the extraordinary language OF
Mr. Banks the opposition candidate for Speaker on the
social equality of the races nmaed that he could
not for the purpose Of allowing the plurality rule TO elect
Speaker Indirectly contribute to the elevation Of any
gentleman entertaining such sentiments Mr. Campbell Of
Ohio followed Mr. Clingman, and reminded Mr. Gddin2s
Of the fact that in ls49 he Mr. Giddings was against

KNOWN NoTHINGIsM IN THE SOUTH AND ABoLl-
TIONISM IN THE NORTH PREPARING TO De-
FEAT THE DEMOCRACY IN TIE PRESIDENTIAL
CAMPAIGN
OF the two hundred and thirty-four members Of the
present House of Representatives all but about seventy
eight including absentees the unrelenting adyer-
saries of the democratic party. This leaves solid OPP
position in that body Of hundred and iity-six--
not q very large number to manage when the pres-
dency is prize in vew and when they agree already
in reverence for secret oahs and obligations, and
in bitter and malignant hostility to the democratic
party All this becomes serious probability when
is recoected that in this organization of hundred
and 6fysx persons there number of experienced
politicians ready any to carry their OBJ
jects The intimate relations that will naturally grow up
between the members of this organization differing they
do upon the single impossible proposition Of restoring the
Missouri Compromise and eongenial in everything else
will have SO consolidated them harmonious party that
BY the time the presidential election has ranspred they
win be ready to act happy concert should the choice
Of Chief Magistrate be devoved upon them Preparatory,
however such contingency twill be that both the
wings Of this opposition strengthening themselves in
their respective sections each pursuing its particular
path 10 arrive at the end and to achieve the
sultat is, to defeat the democratic party. In the South
the national know-nohiugs with the aid of their oaths
and prescriptions will assume high ground the slavery
question: will appeal 10 the people that they quite
reliable and trustworthy the democrats and will la
Dor to secure the entire Of the old whg party upon
such electoral tickets as they shall place in nomination
Should be necessary, Mr.. Cri,tenden will doubtless
be glad to lend his name in order to ory this branch
of the opposition In addition TO this the new develop
ment of Mr. Fuller win be shrewdly used, and every
accusation and calumny which be raked up against
a sound democrat, matter how his works may stand
ont in history the proofs of his consistency and
devotion to national doctrines, will be added TO the
fabricated evidences laid before the public mind in
the southern States to impair the confidence of the people
in that section of the Union in the integrity and sincerity
Of their only true friends And what of the northern di-
vision of the great army Of the opposition of the democ-
racy II has been of Mr. Sewards vorite expedients
to the slavery question manage ITSELF and to permit each
State 20 take of its politics and TO have the oppo-
son North and South together upon those ideas
which are agreeable to both The republicans abolition
lists Of the North have treated the southern knownothngs
in the present Congress with much consideration and
obearauce in the beginning that easy how this
state Of things will improve it goes on and particularly
il the latter manifest power enough 10 build up strong
antagonsm to the democracy in the South In the
while the republicans coHduc their crusade agains,
the Missouri Compromise and encourage the natural
affinity between themselves and the southern know-noh-
incs all the safely because the restoration Of
that compromise is impraccability which must
be evident on both hands, but TO labor for which
will be essential TO preserve the pledge made TO the
abolition sentiment Of the North by the republican
party in Congress- and So while they answering TO
this sentiment in noisy efforts in favor of hopeless alb
stracton they the time preparing the way for
powerful movement In the presidential campaign in favor
OF Mr. Seward any other candidate whom 1t may be
necessary TO run the northern States in order TO carry
out the understanding with the enemies Of the
democracy in the South 1t will be observed Therefore
that while these enemies appeal TO abo-
tonism in the NORTH and expect carry northern States
by this appeal they ferveny appeal the
slavery in the South that by that appeal they
may carry sufficient number OF States against the dem
ocrnc party render election by the people imposs
BILE and throw the choice OF the President into
the House Of Representatives. The hundred and
ffty-six acting together in that branch Of
Congress- and cordially cooperating the two ideas Of
hostility TO the democracy and obedience the oaths
and obligations Of the order win find very easy
thing choose candidate that may represent both these
ideas and satisfy the craving for patronage which The
bottom ofevery movement antagonstc the democratic
principles in this country. This then is the grand scheme
OF the branches OF the northern and southern divisions
OF the opposition army Let those who doubt carefully
observe the signs Of the times and they will be
vinced that the picture have drawn Is faithful 10 the
reality.
