The CHEvALER WEBB WARNING UP AGAIN.
The Chevalier Webb, in the course of ." =,
m,nepie rlgr..aroe on the political parties of
the day, in connection with the slavery ques-
ton, says
Who might have been the candidate Of the republican
party To- the Presidency in 1860, prudent man could
pretend to predict six months ago. But not SO now.
The Southern press, speaking in the of those
Southern leaders who haoitpaly msicad and decciys
their constituents has proclamation that the free
of the North to disregard their impuden dicta
ton and consutionaly and legally elect to tho Presideu
cy William FL Seward, they will Eecede from and destroy
the Union OF the Sates' This settles the question Thus
threatened and bued who never preferred Seward
10 other well known and long tried republicans for tho
Presidency have now but ono fixed and uraterabe do
termination in regard to who shall be their standard bear
or in 1850.
And so it appears that the question is settled
in favor of w. H. Seward, and that he is to be
nominated and elected by the republican party
in answer to the Outlying threats of the
South. But the Chevalier Webb rushes to his
conclusion with too much impetuosity; he fires
up too soon, and is, we fear, counting upon
game chicken from an added egg. 1t is by no
means certain, in the first place, that Seward
will be nominated by the republicans The
chances are against him; and the practical in
depreciation of the Rochester manifesto by Old
John Brown will be very apt to prove in the
Republican Convention the finishing touch to
the first high priest and prophet of the aboi-
ton crusaders. Secondly, if nominated by said
Convention, Mr.. Seward will in all probability
suffer a crushing defeat. If his unpopular
name and principles were sufficient to swamp
General Scott, to destroy the wbig party and to
arrest and reverse the popular Fremont move
ment, what possible hope can there be for Sew
ard himself as Presidential canddates Let
the Chevalier Webb endeavor to keep cool for
month or tive longer.

The CHARrER ELEcrIoN-We have said that
the election of Mayor in December is mere
farce. because the Mayor has NO power to do
anything; but the silly newspapers will have il
otherwise, and contend that it is Of vast impor-
lance, though their own arguments and state
ments disprove the assumption. They sAy
that during the term Of Fernando Woods o.
hce-who Is, OF course, a rogue-the city ex-
penditures were increased to seven millions.
Well, what if they weres They are ten, or per
haps ten and half millions now, when We
have an honest man in Office. But Wood was .
rogue, and the people rose up in their might
and turned him out, and put an honest Mayor.
Mr.. Tiemann, in his place. Now, we have TIVE
honest candidates for Mayor, it appears, and
the logical deduction is, that the expenditures
will be increased to fourteen millions. If this
is not a farce we don't know what u.s.

THE ROYAL INTERVIEW AT BREsLAU.-The
meeting between the Emperor Alexander and
the Prince Regent Of Prussia has, as was to be
expected, given rise to good deal of anxious
speculation. The correspondents of the Eng
fish journals attribute to it an important
bearing on the settlement of Italy. They as
sert that an understanding has been arrived at
by which the policy Of the two Courts is to be
regulated in the approaching Congress. This
is to be in unison with the course determined
upon by the English Cabinet, as explained in
the recent declaration of Lord John RUSSELL.
The three great Powers are to support the an
nexatiOn of the Duchies to Piedmont, regard

feel herself placed by the treaty of peace. (

THE New CoHdREss-A CHANGE IN THE SOUTH
ERN OPPOSITION PRoGRAMME.-Down to the late
Harper's Ferry affair, some Of the most conspi-
cuous Of the Southern opposition leaders and
journals earnestly advocated the policy of a
coalition Of the Southern opposition members
with the republicans in the organization of the
new Congress Butsince the late bloody "strike"
Of Old Brown, this scheme Of coalition has
been abandoned; and the Richmond Wing, in
giving 1t up, says:--"In our opinion, then, in
view Of the altered condition of affairs, they

| question. Such is not the fact The heads OF
the plot are gentlemen who occupy high places
in the metropolis, and some of them are men
who have been supposed to be quite conserve
tive in their opinions. The affair is in
the hands of committee having its headauar-
tiers near Wall street, and among Its members
are several prominent lawyers, editors and
merchants Of this city. They have agents and
correspondents in all the Northern and West
ern cities; in Baltimore; Wilmington, Della.
ware; Washington; Whitehall, Kentucky, and
st. Louis. Their documents are endorsed by
some sixty or seventy members of Congress,
and their list of subscribers contains the
names Of all the leaders Of the Seward faction,
as well as those of some persons who, we fear,
have not read the incendiary publications
which they have paid for.
This movement is nm exceedingly important
one, and needs complete and thorough ventl-
lation. When men Of high position deliberate
ly proceed to foment sectional strife which
cannot have but one end, namely, the dissolu-
ton Of the Union, anarchy, bloodshed, and all
the horrors of civil war, to be succeeded, per-
haps, by the overthrow of our Institutions and
the substitution of military despotism, or
half dozen of them, it Is time that the true
friends of the Union, the constitution and the
laws, North and South, should take some de-
cided steps for preservation.

son has fairly set in, and peripatetic philoso-
piers are on the tramp, gathering, if not
sowing, throughout the country. On the small
capital on which they trade, these gentry
make better returns than can be obtained in
any other business that we know Of It is a
common idea that preachers have monopoly
of the retailing of other peoples ideas and COM
positions; but it is questionable whether they do
as much in that way as those who make live
lihood by lecturing. Generally speaking, the
latter are persons who, not having wit or in
dustry enough to succeed in any other calling,
take to this pursuit as the last resource of in
capacity and laziness. Its labor consists
merely in picking and stealing; for, not salts
fed with borrowing the conceptions Of cleverer
minds, they appropriate even their very Ian
guage. Out of the numerous lectures that will
be delivered this winter in all the towns and
villages of the Union, it is certain that not one
tenth of them will have cost those who deliver
them the least trouble Of composition. They
will be for the greater part compiled from
encyclopedias, elementary scientific treatises
and books Of travel, and put together,
piece by piece, like mosaic, but
without reference to general harmony
Of construction. And all this is swallowed by
rural audiences as a marvellous effort of intel
lectual labor, and they cry up the merits of the
lecturer, and pass him on, with their endorse
ment, to the next craving locality. How these
literary chiffoniers must chuckle as they pocket
their money, and reflect on the ease with which
they humbug the dear, good natured public.
There is class of lecturers who mQst, how
ever, be excepted from the category OF mere
literary peddlers. These are politicians, specu-
tise themselves, and who resort to lccturing as
cheap way Of getting into the newspapers.
Their number is limited, for it requires some
cleverness to push purely personal objects I'M
der cover of discourse which processes to be
semi-educational in its nature. What they lack
in ingenuity, however, they make up for in i'm
pudence; and thus it happens that out of every
course of lectures given during the winter at
public institutions, at least one-half arc made
the vehicles of rabid political phllippcs,
visionary projects, or of what is equally to be
deprecated Disqualification on the part OF
some worthy whose merits have failed
DO receive their due share of appreciation
in the ordinary way. If the lecture system is
to be devoted to mere advertising purposes we
see no reason why the principle should not re-
ceive its full extension. A lecture on sewing
machines or on rotary pumps could, we have

HE NEW C0NGRESS-PLANS FOR ORGANIZING
THE HoUsE-It is we'll understood by our
readers that, as no party will have majority
in the popular branch Of the new Congress,
there must be combination of some sort to
elect under the majority rule, or combination
to set that rule aside in order to elect by a
plurality, as in the case of Mr.. Speaker Banks.
What then, win be the plan adopted in the
organization OF the House? 1t has been said
l. That the republicans, lacking only half a
dozen or so of an absolute majority, will find
no difficulty in picking them up from the anti
Lecompton democratic faction of ten or twelve
men,
2. That the republicans may also succeed in
some satisfactory coalition with the Southern
opposition members, upon the basis of the
division of the spoils of the House, involved in
the three important Offices of Speaker, Clerk
and Printer.
8. That the democrats (regular), who will be
minus twenty-sevcn members of majority,
may still contriTe to overreach the republicans
IN coalition upon Southern opposition man
ior Speaker, Douglas man for Clerk, and
d. That the several parties and factions will
r..y , . 400. ssa loose until exhaustas and that
then resolution will be slipped through
las in 1880 adopting the plurality rule I'M
der which the republicans will organize upon
some such plan of compensation as That WI Itch
comprehended the election of Mr.. Speaker
Banks.
Now, Of all these different ways Of doing the
same work-the organization ofthe House-the
first appears the most practicable; for between
the three important Offices involved, and the
head place on this or that important standing
committee, one would think that the republicans
would have capital enough with which to Sc
cure the half dozen members more or less, re-
CURED to make up majority, either from the
Northern anti-Lec0mpton faction, or the South
ern opposition faction, or from both.
The democratic plan of fusion with the
Southern opposition men and the Northern
anti-Lecompton faction, beginning with the
adoption of Southern opposition man for
Speaker, is suggestive of great difficulties. Will
the reckless Southern fire-eaters, who have so
fiercely repudiated Douglas, listen to any such
association as this with him and his followers
Secondly, will the Southern opposition men
consent thus to be used? We apprehend that
they will take their ground upon their own
man for Speaker, and that the democrats, in
combining upon him, will have to do it at their
own risk, because the Southern opposition party
are not yet prepared, 5y merging themselves
with the democracy, to surrender their chances
OF welding tb.e balance Of power in 1860 as an
indepenr. lent organization.
~ any shape or form, however, this question
House organization is an exceedir~'~
interesting one; and if The; problem is not
solved on the first or second day of the session,
it may hang fire and keep all parties concerned
at the boiling-over point for several months,
with not few incidental Cracked crowns and
