chusatts voted several times for Western eandi'
date until Ia declined: and her dc'ne3 &, pTs'en'
M, Banks untI ~ had been nominated oy O eahes'
oftls Northeastern M~rnbers as Mr. Dunn very well
knovs And now Massachusetts, unitedly supports
the man thus presented by the North west but no
more heartily than the Northwest still does Inc
Nortb.west wants no new candidate; Mr.. Dunn
does; and when the majority wants candidate
Of his selection. he viii of course be duly nouned.
Mr.. BURLISGAME was ready and anxious 70
r,pel the imputstons and implications OF Dunn as
TO Massachusetts, and Mr. Banks; but IL was
deemed best that Massachusetts, should MAINTAIN
perfect silence As bitherto-answering all siurs oy
simply voting unanimously and steadily for the
candidate of the Anti Nebraska Members She has
claimed nothing desired nothing but fidelity 20
the Cause aud its fairly-shosen straightforward
Whomsoeyer he may be.
Messrs KNowLTON Of Maine and HOWARD OF
Michigan briefly and forcibly repealed the imputa-
lions of Dunn and then his propositions was laid on
the table AZ aforesaid Mr. LETTER, whom Dunn
proposed for Speaker, gave the prclect no
countensnce, but was one Of the 100 who voted to
Lax il on the table. OF the 80 who said Nay. only
l2 vote for Banks.
Now let me once more elucidate and snaiyze the
opposition to Mr. Banks beyond that OF the Ne
brssks Democracy aud the "South Americans
II is made by
|. Those Northern Know -Nothings who adhere
70 the National or "twefth-section' organizs'
ton. These are Messrs. Broome Millward aud
n. NJ. Fuller of Pa. with Messrs. Haven Edwards
Bayard Clark, Volk and Whitney OF our state.
The votes Of these gentlemen would have eiected
Mr.. Banks at any time. Mr. Edwards has gwen
his when he had any hope that 1t would elect; hr'
Clark il ia said ,copd do so If his vote could make
4 choice. hear this said. and giTe 1t as gossip
only
.. Those Northern Members who are not ayow-
edly National X. Ms, but who say they won't sup
port Banks These are Messrs Scott Harrison
and Moore of Ohio, Dunn and Scott OF indiana
and Wheeler of New-York. II these gentlemen
had soted for Mr.. Banks he would have received
enough beside to elect him; if they would vote
for him now. he would be chosen in me next bal
lot. But they won't.
g. Some half dozen proiessed Anti-Nebrasha
men who vote for Banks by daylight and then plot
in the dark to defeat him, and who daily exhort and
entreat the Richardson and Fuller men to hold on,
stick 70 their candidates and never allow the Pa-
ralty vote 90 be- adopted. These men have not
vet yentured to bolt, though they have often prom
ised and threatened it; but they do great deal
more harm to Banks's prospects than they could
= Al -, al
voted for Mr.. Banks until prepared in good faith
70 support him, he would have long since been
chosen Now they keep the Richardson and Fuller
men in constant expectation that our column VIII
break and that Orr or BOyce may then be chosen
by plurality before we can unite our vote on any
body else.
For the last two days the leading Nebraskaites,
who had previously supposed that Bsnhs must Ill
tmately be chosen, have been led to hope that his
supporters will break, and that thew chance VIII
then be good. Those who freely admitted that
they must ultimately permit an election by Plural
ity now resist that alternative 80 long as Bsukss
vote remains unbrOken.
If ever minority OF our votes should move from
Banks believe cur entire rOut will be certain
l1ere axe men VINO NOttu LVi NaihPpou ~ niS' ol"
have voted steadily for Banks since Campbell with
drew, who will vote for Orr if necessary to defeat
any man whom minority Of the Anti-Nebrasks
Members shall force upon a reluctant and strife
weary majority. 1 do not advise this-I could
wish it were otherwise-I simply state the fact.
II the hOow.hearted voters for Banks who
mean that he shall never be chosen would support
him in good faith for one week, he would certainly
be Speaker at the end of it. The moment the
Pro-Sayery parties cease to hope and look for the
breaking of our column they will let US elect by
Plurality. l hope that rule may be adopted on
Monday or Tuesday; if it is not, let the public
watch the vote and see who falls of from Banks,
aud they will know who really prevented it.
