are six independent democrats elected The

The Americans will be able to dictate terms
to the Republicans upon the question of
Speaker and Clerk. They will either force
them to choose one of their own men for
Speaker. or else take some conservative gen
tleman from the North-like Thos. Corwin,
for instance. They will also modify and
greatly influence the action of the Rapubli
cans on the slavery question and other politi-
cal matters. If the Republicans do not ac-
cede to their terms. enough of them may vote
for the Democratic Speaker to elect him un-
der the plurality rule. We do not anticipate
this, however, for the Republicans are gener-
ally willing to sacrifice their principles and
sell out for few Offices.

The Chairman submitted the report, and read extracts
from letters from the various candidates for State patron

others promising to be present The committee submitted
resolutions endorsing the State nominations made by the

practical evil of writing volumes in oeagcnous series
long drawn out. 1t seemed that the spirits
have thought better than this and have gone into politics.

Virginia under circumstances Of the greatest secrecy and
somehow or other spirit copied it out and let them into
the secrets of the enemy and to this day must be

tents OF private letter and brought brute force TO control

and gave the American party slight hint that

State election secure 10 the republicans If they would all
turn out and told them that they must remember that the
moral influence of New York is immense, and that nu
would be felt In other States in the Presidential
test OF 1860 He then entered into various speculaons
that contest and figured pretty conclusively by his
ideas that the republicans would elect their candidate
