There is great fuss making now about
not buying from the North. | approve
heartily of the principle and have invaria'
bly acted upon IT, But fear that. with II
great many whose Southe1niSm never shows
itself except upon extraordinary occasions
and dies with the occasion, there will be II
want Of the necessary selt-denlal. How can
our bloods who keep their measures Tor
coats, vests, aud pants. for boots aud hats,
at Boston, New York Philadelphia, aud
Baltimore, exist without the handiw"rk ~
the fashionable and stylish turnishers "i
those cities. Can they be expected TO dis
figure themselves with the bunghng per-
formances Of Alexandria workmen? Mon

So with some Of our merchants and ira
ders. They pass by the doors OF our own
establishments, with upturned noses. On
their way to buy from the Cursed Ian

or more than the article could be had Tor at
home The difference, ] have heard some oil

The day for the faithful observance Of non

OF this country They and the noble race
of revolutionary times died out together.

Waahinpton Rumors.

We give for what they are worth, the fol-
lowing rumors, which prevail in Washing
t,n, relative to the contest for the organ
iza,ion Of the House Of Representatives,
The democrats are quite harmonious after
the caucus of Saturday night, and hope that
leaving themselves free on the subject OF the
Clerkship and minor officers 81 the House
to bag some Of the doubtful voters for Mr..
Bocuck. Forney claims to control the votes
Of Messrs. lIaskin, III. +. Clarke, aud hey
nrlds Of New York. aud Hickman and
Schwartz. Of Pennsylvania. The little Grant
Douglas is untiring in his efforts to prevent
the Anti Lecompton Democrats from uniting
with the Republicans.
The Republicans are not very harmonious.
and it is said that Mcs-rs. Briggs aud Car
ter have shewn strong signs of gong "ii on
their own hook.
1t is said that eight Of the nine anti Lee
c,mptonites, and two Of the South AmerI-
cans, will lend their aid To the work oil Or
gauizing the house, and that. consequently,
Mr.. Sherman. of Ohio. will be elected speak
er, aud Mr.. Forney, Of Pennsylvania, clerk.
1t is also rumured that Mr.. Hoffman OF
MARYLAND, will be elected sersrant-at arms;
Mr.. Lucas, of Illinois, post MASTER Mr..
Marston, of New Hampshire. doorkeeper; and
Mr.. Dciriccs, Of Indiana, printer.
AT the informal meeting ON Saturday. OF
the republicans there were assembled, one
hundred and ten members. IT was very
generally agreed that the South Americans
and the anti-Lecomptonites should have their
full share Of the Offices of the house, If they
would cooperate with the republicans in the
organization.
It's further said that the republicans. who
number one hundred an d thirteen members,
are willing to share in the organization OF
the house most literally, with twenty three
South Americans aud the nine anti Lecomp-
ton members. The republicans want the
speaker, who will frame the committees. aud
are willing that the South Americans and
the anti Lecomp,on members shall have all
the other posts, to-wit: the Office Of clerk, Of
sergeaut-at-arms, Of doorkeeper, and OF post
master.
Ifthe South Americans and the anti-Lc.
compton members do not choose 10 agree to
assist in organizing the house upon these
terms, or if there cannot be found rs many Of
their whole number ~ six, to secure such IN
organization, then the republicans will pro
badly stand by their guns, and vote for their
own candidate, and for the adoption of the
plurality rule, until they succeed in organic
ing the whole house to their own liking or
are defeated by the democracy.
