comparison with Wendell, whom the Republicans Of

clos Of the present Congress refused 10 give hm, but
Which he now holds by right OF purchase
This bold assertion about " the Republicans"
cent US 70 The Congrts si0noi Globe of Feb. -,
1876, where We find the votes BY which Wendell
was chosen Printer of the las. Congress given in
detal!-.3 in sll-wbereOf all were Democrats
e1cep! the following:
Mesa. csruther,, Bsyal c;.ae CO Ea.ti. E'.a' Fo,;
Ter J. MoIIlson Harris LAKE Nsce A. hars1al o'ie a.

o. these, only two dan Mace Of Ind. and Thurs
tor of r. l. ever pretended to be Republicans,
while both were elected ss Americans, and Mace Is
now las formerly Democrat. The other seven
teen we're "Americ,ns" Of the most 4" National"
stripe, and never pretended to be anything else.
Not one Of them supported Banks for speaker.
And ,be.e seyeLteen National Americans or
the most Of them voted for Wendell not merely
once, hut Gf our memory serves several times,
rendering the concentration of majority vote on
any opposing candidate impossible. Yet the New
York organ Of this "National" party reproaches
The RogrJlteans with the election OF Wendell as
Printer,
Tbi, yeracious CORE, pondent proceeds:
"If John Bel Of Temp. should be a member Of the
next House. be would, in all pTob ability, b. elected
Sneaker the Republicans finding themsei unable
f. elect SLcrmtn OF Ohio, would be very glad TO CON-
promse on Bell unless Seward fearful that the resu.
would make Bel President, should forbid hi, friends
from voting fer him, sud secretly connive at giving
the Speoker TO the Democrats. Seward has done
worse things than this. In 1874 be gave the Presid
ercy to James X. pu.E II preference to Henry Clay
