WASHINGTON, d. c..
THURSDAY, JANUARY 81, 1856.
To the Republicans of the United States.

In accordance with what appears to be the
general desire of the Republican Party, and at
the suggestion of large portion of the Repub-
lican Press, the undersigned, Chairmen of the
State Republican Committees of Maine, Yer
mont, Massachusetts,, New York, Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, and Wisconsin, hereby
invite the Republicans of the Union to meet IN
informal Convention at Pittsburgh, on the 22d
February, 1856, for the purpose of perIecting
the National Organization, and providing for a
National Delegate Convention of the Republi-
can Party, at some subsequent day, to nomi-
nate candidates for the Presidency and Vice
Presidency, to be supported at the election in
November, 1856.
A. p. STONE, of Ohio.

DAVID WILMoT of Pa
LAWRENCE BRAINERD, Of ".
WILLIAM A. WHITE, Of Wis.
RUFUs HosxER, Chairman
ofhe Michigan STATE Republican
Committee.
AUGUSTA, Me-, January, 1856.
As members of the Republican State Com
mittee of Maine, we atlix our names to the
above call. EDWARD FENNO.
Then follow the names Of all the members Of
the Committee, which it is not necessary to
print.
There is no State Republican organization
in Kentucky, but Cassus NJ. Clay sends on his
own name, and those of many others of that
State, in support Of the Call.
Eay~ As the friends of the Republican move
ment, especially those in the West, who have
been most active in promoting the Convention,
deem an early notice important, we print the
call, with the names of the Chairman of six
of the State Republican Committees. The
names of the others will be added so soon as
received.
The meeting will be one for consultation and
preparation. 1t will recognise the fact that the
Republicans constitute a National Party; it
will make known, authoritatively, that they in
tend to appear as such, under their own ban
ners, in the Presidential contest and it will
provide, directly or through a National Com
mittee, for a National Republican Convention,
to nominate Republican Presidential and Vice
Presidential candidates. Such is the purport of
the call.

BRITISH VIEW OF THE CONTEST FOR SPEAK
ERsHIP IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENT
ATIVES.
From The London Daily New.


This obstinate contest is good sign of the
prosperous condition of the United States both
in their foreign and domestic relations. Did
an enemy stand at their gates, were a CONNER
cial crisis impending, were servile war raging
in the Southern States, the election of Speak
er would not be spun out to such length. All
other considerations would be flung to the
winds, in order that Congress might proceed
without delay to concert measures for averting
the danger. But the United States have peace
within their borders and beyond them. With
ample elbow-room in their extensive and thinly-
peopled territory. with an ample field of remu-
lucrative employment for a thousand times the
capital and labor they can command, men have
no temptation to civil broils; and unless they
force a quarrel on some foreign nation, no Peo-
pie or Government have anything to gain by
attacking them. The annual meetings of their
Representatives are devoted to routine business,
which might stand over year or two, without

Topeka, KANSAS, Jan. g, 1856.
To the Editor Oftbe National Era:
A great political and moral conflict is now
going on in Kansas. The two great parties,
which compose our nation, are brought in close
and deadly collision. To retreat, on either side
would be certain defeat. Never before, on this
continent, did so much depend on the issue of
a conflict. 1t is astonishing that the friends of
Freedom feel no more interest in this subject
The Slavery men show by the means they
resort to for success, that they consider their
cause desperate. They have sent here the most
ignorant and vicious part Of their population as
missionaries. What can these do, when brought
in contact with the missionaries Of Freedom,
who are among the most intelligent and enter
prising people that could be found in the free
and slave States? Ny nearest and most init
mate neighbor is from Arkansas. He and his
family despise the marauders, and have en-
braced the cause of Freedom. There are, I'M
doubtedly, hundreds of Just such cases in this
Territory. | presume that one half of those
who defend Slavery are Influenced by fear of
shareholders; and the moment the fact of this
being free State is established, that influence
will cease to control them. Slavery can be es-
tablished here only by civil war.
The Mssourians evidently did not intend, in
their last invasion, to push matters to open VIC
touCSj puC W SuCn IOrc6 JudJ the FREE
State men would be frightened into submission.
When they found that their plan did not sue
coed, they were very willing to compromise.
Now they are boasting that they brought the
Abolitionists to their terms-which were, sub
mission to their laws and in the surrender of
Sharp's rifles. To such terms the Free State
men never submitted, and never will.
The vote at our late election, on the Black
Laws, will probably give our friends at the
East wrong impression respecting our Anti
Slavery strength. The friends of the law seem
ed determined. They stated that the Nilsson
rians would hberate and send into Kansas all
their worthless slaves, if it became a free State,
and would admit them. Many of them threat
they would go for Slavery. Many of the op-
posers of the law we're thus induced to vote for
it; and others, on account of the manner in
which the tickets were drawn up, voted for it
by mistake The friends of Freedom consider
it great triumph, that they kept it out of the
Constitution and believe that if the Legisla
ture obey instructions, and put it on the statute
book, it will not long remain there.
Let not the friends of Freedom be deferred
from coming, by the monster Slavery. which
by fraud and the violation of covenant oblioa.
tons, has been placed in their way. He looks
much more frightful at distance than when
confronted. PAUL.

CAUCUsEs LAST WEEK.

Mr. Richardson, one day last week, refused
to stand any longer for the Speakership. Mr.
Fuller also formally withdrew. Caucuses were
then held by the several parties. The Admin
istration men nominated Mr.. Orr, in the place
of Mr.. Richardson, but were constrained by
the friends of the latter, to place the new can
didate on the platform that had proved so Of
fensive to the Know Nothings. The Know
Nothings who would have been willing to vote
for Orr, apart from the platform, concluded to
hold on to their independent position. The
supporters of Mr. Banks, after celebrating in
caucus, came to the conclusion that they could
not concentrate so many votes on any other
candidate, and resolved to adhere to him. The
voting the next day showed no change in the
relations of parties. Banks last Friday came
within four Of an election. Mr.. Faulkner, of
Virginia, at one time introduced a resolution,
virtually censuring that gentleman, for not get
ting out Of the way, and his supporters, for
casting their votes according to their own iudg-
ment. Mr.. Faulkner is a reasonable and mod
est gentleman. We submit whether it would
not be better for him to offer a resolution, de-
claring that no votes given for Mr.. Banks shall
be recorded by the Clerk, or counted!

lotus-eaters of the modern world; they can af
