The SpcaLership.
The debate in the house on Wednesday possessed
more than ordinary interest. Our Washington cor
respondent has skeched its main features, and COM
mented on the capital speech of Mr.. Caruthers,
whg of Missouri. He did not purpose much to
explain why he had voted for Mr. Richardson as to
show why he could not vote for Others. MIR Fuller
was elected the anti-Nebraska issue, beating in
the canvass Mr.. Wright, who, in the last congress,
was sound on the Kansas and Nebraska cues ion
Mr. Fuller questioned to whether he would
vote for restoration of the Missouri restriction and
Mr.. CarutherS thus spoke of his reply
heard it and marked it well, and upon rests
my eternal opposition to his election speaker He
replied that he in favor of the restoration of the
Missouri restriction that if be had been in The las,
congress- he would have been opposed to the Kan |
Nebraska bill and that he was in favor of re-
storing the Missouri restriction if it could be done
but as it could not be done practical statesman,
he against all agitation. This may suit other |
gentlemen it does not suit me. | want man who
CO. operates with me to stand upon some principle
upon which can meet him.
The principles of the Kansas Nebraska bill are
right, they are wrong. II they are right those of
US who sustained that bill acted rightly. If they are
wrong, acted wrongly. If it right to repeal
the Missouri compromise, then that repeal should
stand. If it was wrong, he is a coward who declares
il wrong and does not declare for restoring it. Loud
applause the floor
Mr. Cox asked Mr.. Carulhers whether there was
no whig in the house for whom he would vote? Mr.
CaruheIs replied as foilows:-
:" tell him there is no whig-nOne, sir. Mr.. Hum
phrey Marshall, who first voted for by the South
Americans,' they have been called, is a whig.-
Do you tell me that knO1U nothing is whig.-
(Loud laughter, and much applause on the floor and
in the galIeries) Why, sir, turning to Mr. Cox.)
the PHILADELPHIA convention Of last year. in their
platform, which you have been Swearing by ever
since you have been member Of this congress, de-
cared that both the old partes-the democratic and
the whig were corrupt that such pure gentlemen
as they were could not act with them and yet you
arraign me as a whig for not having voted for Hum
phrey Marshall. of Kentucky"
Further along in the debate Mr. Caruhers spoke
as follows
"The gentleman asks me where the whig party is
| might tell him there one PYthagoras, who en-
tertaned the doctrine of the transmgraion of souls
and that when the wing party died, the soul of that
party went into the present democratic party. Great

governor there was no whig candIdate-no man car

grave of Clay, could believe that the whig party
still existed Sir did not believe it. If you could
take down that banner and fold ii quietly the

first statesman of his times the most eloquent
of any time and the greatest party leader of all the

was dead Sir, do you believe it is dead T.
Towards the conclusion Of this speech, Mr. Caruth-
ers said
g vote for no who is not content to leave all
these questions of slavery on the great doctrine of
non-nIervention | vote for no man, Mr.. Clerk, who
will not give to the people of the erritory-to the
people to be affected by ito the people who go
from your States, where they have rights, into your
territories where they lose none of those rights-he
rights of self-government. | vote for no man who |
