THE SECOND ANTI-NEBRASKA CAUCUS.
Editorial Correspondence Of The n Y. Tribune.
WASHINGTON, Wednesday, Midnight.
At the close Of tO-day's session of the House
one in which all the elements of discord, democrat
ization aud disarrangement appeared to have been
let loose-Mr. LEWIS ID. CAMPBELL of Ohio rose
TO vote for Speaker, and observed that he consd.
cred it high time that another caucus OF the Anti
Nebraska Members be held to review, and IT need
be- revise their position and course. With an I'M
derstsnding that one should be held, he would for
this time vote Banks. The vote proceeded; the
result was announced; and the House adjourned
Mr.. FiAGLER of N. Y, upon due consultation,
made proclamation from the Clerks desk that an
Anti-NeArasks caucus would assemble at in the
evening.
The GAUGES assembled accordingly-the fullest
by far that has been held this session. There were
now scarcely more than One Hundred Anti-Ne-
braska Members in the city, and OF these over
Ninety attended the Caucus. MIR. Banks spoke
briefly, absOlving all from any obligation or CON-
initial to support him, and exhorting them to con-
slider the Cause only in selecting their future can
didate. Whoever that candidate might be, he
sbould have his cordial and ardent support. 1t
was agreed on all hands that the past should be
entirely rubbed out, and each should vote now as
if this were the opening of the Session. Worthy
and true men argued the policy and duty ofsdrop-
ming Mr.. Banks for the good of the Anti-Nebraska
cause, asserting that if this concession were made,
the substituted candidate could be elected to-
morrow.
Those who urged this view failed to take into
account the impossibitty of doing what they pro-
posed. II the Concurrence of thres fourths OF the
Banks men would suffice, the thing might be done;
hut il REQUIRES the votes of ALL and they cannot be
had. Some of the most devoted Anti-Nebraska
men resisted every entreaty to attend this very
caucus, saving: 1.-The question TO be considered
il whether she majority will submit to be buliied
BY Geo. Dunn 4 Company, and we have decided
that point for ourselves. We will not be driven
bither and thither by factious and meager minor
;tv Rather let Richardson be Speaker than any
Anti-Nebraska man who has so little seli-respect
a. to accept the post against the known choice ana
iudpment of those who may be compelled by the
fe~ disorcanizers 10 surrender Mr.. Banks. As we
refuse to be turned aside from what sosms 70 US
the path of duty by any decision that the caucus
may pronounce, we have no right to participate III
its deliberations and shall stay away" So they did
After three hours vof earnest and free discussion
no one being present but Members-a ballot TOT
a candidate for Speaker was had, with the follow
ing result; =,
For Nathaniel p. Banks, jr..........' 90
For Lewis ID. Campbell. ..........'...'.' l.
For A. G.. NJ. Pennington ...--....--.''

Whole number cast 50; necessary TO a cno'ce ~
Whereupon n. p. BANKS jr., was afresh pro-
claimed the Anti-Nebraska candidate; on the
question of making the nomination unanimous d
single No was uttered.
Before taking this vote, Mr.. HOWARD OF Mlchl-
gan. inquired: "Is the decision to be binding on
call. or only on one side If any decline to be
hbONnQ By the vi INC itb 'hS"N
snow say so." No one spoke. So the vote pro-
eeeded BY ballot, every one having the opportunity
thus secured TO him of recording his judgment uu-
embarrassed by eOmmistas Ofwhatever kind
Mr.. PuRvANcE of Pa. submitted a modified
Plurality propositon-thc House to vote as usual
until the One Hundred and Twenty-h f'h tfis''
when Plurality should suffice to elect IL was
unanimously approved, and the author instructed
10 offer it in the House, and renew the sner from
day to day as he should see fit.
SO closed, after II o'clock p. m.' the SECOND
Anti-Nebraska Caucus held lor the nomination o'
sspeaker Its influences lie in the future ou'
they ought to be good H. L.
