THE MEMPHIS MEETING.-The Memphis
FL quirer. of Friday contains a brief, but ami
mated, account of the meeting of the Opposi-
ton Thursday. Mr.. BELL was first introduce
ed to the meeting, but he declined to make a
speech stating that he had come TO join with
his fellow-citZens in celebrating the victory
in Tennessee. He knew that he but expressed
the sentiment of every heart in giving way
to him upon whom all eyes were fixed
EMERSON ErHERIDGE. the gallant and vicIori-
Gus standard-bearer from the Ninth Congress
sional District.
Mr.. ETHERIDGE was thereupon introduced,
and several minutes elapsed before he could
proceed to speak, so loud aud prolonged was
the cheering. He spoke for some three hours
in u strain of iervid eloquence. OF his speech
the Enquirer says
1t was rallying cry of the Oppposilion
the fire of 1910 rekiudied, aud as the
patriotic current shot from mau to man, "a re-
solve went up from the thousands gathered
there that Tennessee shall be rescued from
the spoiler.
The Enquirer adds:
speech Mr. Bell was again called to the stand,
Never did he appear to better advantage
His lion heart full, and words of wisdom
flowed from his lips. Like the Roman orator,
who, as penalty for patriotic devotion TO
his country, was driven into Punishment he
comes now 10y the almost spontaneous voice
of the people. and they will repair the injas-
tice done him by pLrtizan demaSogues. in
elevating him to the highest post OF honor in
the nation.
THE SPEAKING AT NIGHT.
Not less than ten thousand people were
present at the speaking last night.
Speeches were made by In. John l.. 7.
SIeqd, Hon. Emerson Etheridge. aud Hon. j.
L. Alcorn. and other distinguished gentlemen.
There was too splendid display of trans
pareneies and fire works. Every thing passed
OF in the happiest manner. Nothing seemed
to mar the general joy of the occasion.

The Legislature.

In the Senate, yesterday, the resolutions in
troduced by Mr.. Andrews in reference to the
passage, by Congress, Of a Homestead law,
were debated at some length. Mr.. McI.ar-
en-, of Goodhue, attempted to impair the infu-
ence of the resolutions, by adding certain un-
Just amendments, reflecting upon Senator
Rice and General Shields. His unworthy ex-
hibition of narrow partizanship was animad-
verted upon by both Republican and Demo
cratic Senators. The resolutions were refer
red to the Committee on Federal Relations
Pioneer, Sunday.
The amendment offered by Mr.. McLAR-
EN-, was perfectly just and proper. 1t set
forth that when the Homestead Bill had pass.
ed the House, and could have passed the Sem
ate with the vote of the Democratic members,
our Senators, (RICE and SHIELDs) voted to
take up the Cuba Bill in preference to the
Homestead, and thereby defeated the passage of
the Bill Mr. McLAREN wished this fact
known, and inasmuch as Mr.. ANDREWS, Ga
Democrat, had offered the resolutions in favor
of Homestead, it was highly proper that the
course of his Democratic friends in Congress
should be shown up. The effect of the
amendment was TO refer the resolutions to the
committee on Federal Relations where they will
doubtless remain. The object of Mr.. ANDREWS
was simply to make capital out of the measure,
and hence his earnest wish to snap it on the
Senate. If there was any exhibition of mar
row partizanship," it was shown by Messrs.
RICE and SHIELDS when they did the dirty
work of the Southerners in preference to vo-
ting for Bill that would secure Free Homes
for the Homeless.
Weekly Minnesotian and times., 1859-12-24
Friends of the Homestead, Make a
Note of this!

We wish to rivet upon the minds of the
Homestead measure in Minnesota, an import
ant act in connection with the organization Of
the House at Washington.
Mr.. Bocock, the Democratic candidate for
the Speakership, is, and always has been, op-
posed to the Homestead Bill and also voted
against Mr.. Crows bill, at the last session, to
give pre-emptioners ten years in which to pay
for their lands. If elected Speaker, he would
so pack the Land Committee as to destroy
every hope of the passage of that desirable
measure at the present Congress. The Demo-
cratic members from Illinois, Indiana and
elsewhere, have betrayed the West, by voting
for Mr. Bocock for Speaker. Had Cavanaugh
and Graham been elected, they would have
thus betrayed Minnesota. The very election
of Aldrich and Window may be the means of
saving this vital measure to the West. Mr.
Sherman, the Republican candidate for the
Speakership, is the firm friend of the Home
stead, and voted for Mr.. Crows bill above
mentioned, and if elected, will use the power
full influence of that high position to bestow
this blessed measure upon the country.

A Palpable Hit.

There are certain limits of propriety which
even partizans should observe-partcularl
in legislative bodies A certain amount of
trifing may be winked at but the Demo-
cratic members in both bodies we think, are
OVERRIDING their allowance. We are particu-
larry sorry to see Col. Robertson leading off
in this respect. Yesterday, he thought pro-
per to slur Mrs. Swisshelm, by nominating
her for Surveyor of Logs and Lumber for
the Third District-and slur her for no other
reason, than because she is a uoman, imbued
with earnest principles, which her talents as
a writer, enable her to enunciate to the pub
lie with a point and vigor which the Colonel
himself might be glad to possess. He nomi-
mated her, he said as "a distinguished Re-
publican" We can inform him, that the
Republican Patty feel it no disgrace to number
women of the abilities and force of character,
honesty and family virtues, possessed by Mrs
Jane Swisshelm," in their ranks. But, we
presume we may safely 'bet" that the Col.
will not hereafter insult, in Jest or earnest,
any more 'oomen who may happen not to be-
leve with him in the divinity of the institu-
ton of Slavery We infer this, from the se-
we're retort which Mr.. Secombe of St. Antho-
ny flung back upon him, as will be seen on
reference to our legislative report. The NOM
ination of SOLD BETS" the Mother of the
Democratic Party in Minnesota, was received

The Speakership.

1t is understood that if Sherman can get
112 votes for the Speakership, there are six
anti-Lecompton members who will vote for
him, which will secure his election. The high
est vote he has received so far, is 10, and he
would have received l12 had it not been for
the desertion Of Briggs and Carter, of New
York, who were elected as Republicans. 1t
seems to be definitely settled that if Sherman
elected Speaker by the six anti-Lecompton
members who are favorable to him, that John
W. Forney will be the Clerk.
Had it not been for the factious Demo-
Gratis Qike such men as Clark, of Missouri)
we should have been able some time since to

Compliment to Minnesota Member Of
Congress.

Compliment to a Minnesota Member of
Congress!
A correspondent of the Chicago Journal,
writing relative to the protracted contest FOR
Speaker in the House of Representatives,
thus alludes to one of our members of Con-
gress:
"The Republican members are in their seats
ready to vote whenever the iirc-eaters will al
low vote to be taken. Among the most no
ticeable evidences of devotion to the party as
well as backbone, was the appearance of Mr..
Aldrich, of Minnesota, who, though unable to
take any kind of nOurishment for tbirty-siX
hours, nevertheless went to the House, and
being too week to sit up, reclined on a sofa for
five hours, ready to answer to his name when
ever the roll was called. Had other members
been as eager to organize the House, or been
ready to sacrifice half as much, the House
would ere this have been organized"
The Colonel is good pluck, and the slave
drivers will find him always on hand to com
bat their schemes He has driven stage in
his time, and don't know how to be driven.
We like this first gun from Washington
about Minnesota's new Representatives there.
the former stock were not celebrated for grit
or independence. Rice summersetted from
Douglasism to Buchanism, at the first flourish
Of the official whip; Shields was only of ac-
count to deliver funeral orations; Cavanaugh
himself declared he hesitated and faltered"
and Phelps never ran the least risk, by any
overt act of talent, of being mistaken for his
namesake of Missouri.
If our Republican members may have no
opportunity to display talent, we will accept
the exhibition of pluck, grit, backbone, as
compensation instead. Good for the old Colo
mel, we say again.
Weekly Minnesotian and times., 1859-12-24
The Democratic Members.

We are glad to notice on the part of the
Democratic minority in the Legislature, an
earnest and commendable desire to advance
the public busness.-Pioneer.
That will be considered good joke, when
the minority of the Senate kept that body in
session all night and part of a day under a
call, simply to crafty their"desire to advance
the public interest" The people are pretty
we'll satisfied as to the economical and busi
ness capacity of the Democratic party, and
this attempt to pat Buchanan men on the
shoulder to secure their good will to effect 9
specific purpose, is as amusing as it is ridicu
