HOMESTEAD BILL.-Mr. Grow, of Pennsyl.

The New SPEAKER.-Colonel Orr. the new
Speaker, is one of the ablest men in Congress-
ard perhaps the most capable man for the
Speakers chair in the Democratic ranks. He
has served three terms in the House, and is
well fitted for his post by an extensive expert.
ence. An exchange sketches his appearance
and manners in the following brief fashion:
"Colonel Orr is man about forty, of large
frame, Of a rotund stomach, and with q set OF
lungs of immense power. When he rises to
catch the Speakers attention, his shrll voice
scars above the tumult of the House like the
whistle of locomotive. He is singularly
prompt, quick-witted in argument and retort
and pays the clcsest attention to every detail OF
House business. The dullest and prosiest de-
elaimer can boast of an attentive listener in
Orr; and it is rather ominous to a newcomer
in debate, when that fiat, haired South Carolin.
an, with thresdbare faded black coat, leans
orward, puts one hand to bis ear, cocks his eve
towards the new member, like commemorative
cooeter locking after clear weather, and asks
whether he rightly understood the last remark
Of the honorable gentleman, and, if so, would
like to inquire, &c, &c. 1t is quite an ordeal

Nor "REPUBLIcAN AUrHoR1rY.-Demo
cratic journals in all parts of the country are
fond of quoting the NJ T. Times as Republican
authority. That journal pretends to no such
thing-in fact, has repeatedly declared its in
dependence of all parties. Yet the Star, of
this city, says, no longer ago than last week,
Friday, that "the N. Y. Times, as al know, is
a consistent and vehement Republican party
paper"
The Times of the previous Thursday con-
tains the following editorial paragraph:
at is very curious to note the pertinscity
with which political parties cling to this Kan

OrrspoKKS AND HosEsr.--The ST. Louis
Democrat makes a clear, undisguised issue,
in the canvass in which the people ofthat city
are now engaged. 1t goes for Emancipation,
it inculcates anti-slavery sentiments, and it
labors to establish an Emancipation party
by giving them firm foothold in that great
commercial centre, as q basis of operations.
1t desires q gradual liberation and removal
. of the servile population, and the substitu-
ton in their place of active, energetic, intel
ligen, free whites. And il does not scruple
to confess that desire, but enforces it with
strong and solid argument. The position OF
the Democrat is proud and admirable one.
1t 10 something to be the advocate and vim.
dicator Of the rights OF the toiling masses
and the public benefits of unfettered ind
try, any where but in the midst OF a slave
community, in the commercial capital of .
servile State, surrounded by all the insidious
influences and sordd interests of an aris-
tocratic, domineering, powerful class, con-
auCb auu pOthuSss jlkc tuhl VI TIC l/GmOCFult
frank, honest and vigorous as it is, is worthy
of more than common admiration, and il
sure to command il. And se are glad to feel
assured, as we do, that the Democrat leads
where troops Of free men will follow, though
the hounds of human bondage, the spoilers
of human rights, are hot upon their tracks.
THE SPANISH MEXICAN DrrlcuLrY- Many
complications may come out Of this diff
Guilty. What its results may be, in case it
proceeds to actual nostilities, il would be
difficult TO anticipate. In the first place, it
is said and thought by many that it will be
substantially war declared BY Rome,
through Spain, to recover her church prop.
erty, conhscatei by the Mexican Govern
ment. There is strong reason to believe, al
SO, that our Government has given Mexico
assurances OF support, by way Of bargains
which shall place our neighbor in funds. and
10 sundry other ways, having in view the
appropriation of the Island Of Cuba, under
some trumped-up excuse, in case of hostili-
ties. In ease all this is true, then we
shall find our Government in conflict with
Spain, and Rome; and IL il be not, most
likely, in case of hos.ilities between Mexico
and Spain, the interest and feelings of the
European Catholic party and our Buchanan
administration will clash. Then, again. the
interests and mutual obligations OF France
and England, in this connection, will help to
compiicate the matter greatly, and what the
particular phase OF the contest may be, when
tits fully settled upon and opened, it is i'm
possible to divine, or, indeed, how important
to Us and several other interested rartics it's
issues may prove.
