southern allies o. their doughtace syeopAancy,
while the northern LocOtocos echo the sentiment
o: their southern masters and hold Union Sa-
wing meetings in Boston, Philadelphia, New

cress saw the northern branch of their party are
no better than the Back RepublicauS-no more
reliable on the goose" They even denounce
the Union saving speeches OF EdSaid Everett
and Winthrop OF Boston, and say they are only

Browns in disguise. They have the same opin-

Notwithstanding Cobb has notified his
political friends that the Treasury can stand the
siege six months, without the aid of Congress to
stimulate their resistance to the plurality rule
Some suspicion this is braggadocio. Whenever
th" House is organized the Treasury must meet
nine millions of dollars, one for pay ana mileage,
over four for the Post Office deficiency, and near
lv four for the first quarter ending Tho Goth of
September. The Secretary has, subject to draft,
about five and half millions Of dollars, which
is the margin required for smooth working, and
cannot be safely reduced; and some six millions
OF Treasury Notes, capable of reissue. A new
loan or notes. are expected before long, az inev-
liable, from the present exhibit. If the treaty
with Mexico should be patched up, rs was un-
derstood with Mr.. Ierdo, when here, it could
not be ratified with the money clause, and if con-
tirmed, the House would not vote a dollar of the
four millions proposed.

TUESDAY MORNING, DEC. 90, 1859.
No speaker Yet.

A second week Of the session has passed, and
as yet there is 10 organization of the House Of
Representative in Congress. The scenes OF
1855 are probably TO be re enacted-;ine and
money are to be similarly wasted-a needles.
excitement IS to be kept up, which extend:
throughout the country, and much bitter feeling
,-.--i-~l -.--~-o a. -or-"-~-.-.i'- shein
selves The delay, however, is not without It's
uses; it has given al opportunity, which has
been embraced by some sensible men both the
North and the South, 10 speak frankly to the
overwhelming question of the day, not in fear,
nor yet in brsvaio-not in a cringing spirit, nor
with empty threats, using such words and
thoughts as it is profitable and wholesome that
one section Of the Union should hear from the
other upon slavery, and its extension, the topic
which now divides them.
II is also pleasant 70 observe that some youth
ern members are disposed to treat the North
with some fairness, and TO shield them from the
infamous charge Of desiring to be rid of slavery
by cutting Southern throats.
As vet no higher vote has been cast for Mr..
Sherman, Of Ohio the Republican candidate,
than 10, while the party strength Is known to
be ll3, which is account ID for as follows, by the
Springfield RcDnJi,cn,: "Ot tho 10 members
Of the Hou.e classed az Republicans, ITO voted
for SIR. Sherman on Friday. The other three
were Mr. Sherman himself, who did not vote,
Mr. DIN. Of the Troy N. " district, who was
sch. but is al Washington aud ready in an emer-

New York CITY districts, who il of fiiibustsring

too Young to come in, and one ID absent. OF the
90 South Americans "a with Briggs 20 voted
f,r Mr. Gilmer, for Mr. Bo,eler, for Mr..
Etheridge, and was absent. Tho Anti-Le-
compton Democrats voted 3 for Mr.. Clark, of
New York, : for Davis, of Indiana, . for Mr..
Hislin, and for Xr. Hickman. -Four of these
are ready to 20 for Mr. Sherman, directly or
Indirectly. whenever their votes can elect him.
These are IIaskin and Reynolds, of New York,
and Hickman and Schwartz, of Pennsy lvania
and their votes, with Olin's, would carry Sher-
man up 70 49, within one Of an election. IIor-
ace F. Clark and Geo. Briggs, both ought to be
eager to give this vote, but still refuse it, The

SENATOR WADE or OHIo.-A part Of the
time of the House lst week, was not wasted
Senator Wade spoke with all truth, force and
fearlcssness, in defining the position Of the Re-
publican party Of the North, and in indicating
that party from thc foul aspersions of certain
Southern members, who seek TO fix completely
in the lIarpes's Ferry raid.
Every attempt was made TO interrupt Mr.
Wade, and to detract from the force and pun.
gency Of his words, but in vain. He kept
steadily and strongly on until lac hsi accomplish.
ed what he had in view, viz: to give the south
ern members taste of the real Northern sent
men., and TO strip the subject of slavery eXten
sion and its resistance, of all the Haunting rags
of false patriotism which have been hung upon
them, by fre-eaters. Well done, Wade.

A Raid unnn WRaid.N

The Greenbrier independents very much TSled
at the word "raid," which is used to describe the
invasion of Brown at Harper's Ferry. 1t calls
for troops, for action for vigilance, in short for
anything and everything shat will tend to put
q ouietus on that wretched and outlandish word"
Our contemporary certainly never read the Wa
yerley Novels or SCOTS Tales of Grandfather.
The word frequently occurs in these writings,
and has become completely Anglicized. Sir
Walter employs it to designate the predatory in
cursions of the borderers into England or Scot
land-the follows
Who sought the beeves that made their broth
In England and in Scotland both
and also the robber-like assaults of one Scottish
clan upon another. It is shorter and more con-
venient than "foray," and, when applied to
Browns enterprise, more expressive and acca-
rate than "inyasionn While therefore we are
not entitled to the credit of having introduced
the word, we stand up for it. As to the objec-
ton that it is "harsh, it seems tosus that harsh
words are the very sort to use in connection
with Old Brown.

Drift of the Republican Party.

We observe with great pleasure every indica-
ton at the North of q disposition to abandon
sectional issues Of this character is an editori-
al article which appeared lately in the New York
Times, entitled "Drift of the Republican Party"
The Times was recently Republican paper, but
it has taken alarm at the tendency of things and
is disposed to draw back. It says the cardinal
feature of the Republican platform in the last
Presidential canvass was resistance TO the ex-
tension OF slavery into free territory This issue,
however, has now disappeared-Kansas is no
longer q matter in dispute-and the Times wants
to know what the Republican party propose to
do in regard to slavery, as the reason why they
should be placed in power" 1t quotes from the
New York Tribune to show that the DRIFT OF the
party is to open Abolitionism-"that instead of
limiting its aims to preventing the extension of
slavery, it is preparing to wage open war on
slavery itself In the Southern States" ''The
