ENGLISH IGNORANCE OF AMERICAN PoLIT1cs-
Among other startling facts which of our English
contemporaries brings forward to prove the demoraizng
effect of universal suffrage is the grave statement that
when Gen. Taylor was elected President he removed all
the democratic lampighters in New York. This has
been going the rounds of the English press for some
weeks We shall probably hear that he turned out
all the clerks in the dry goods stores in Broadway

From Washington.


WAsHIGToN, Dec. 1.-THE Charleston
Courier says the Committee on Federal Rcla-
tons, in the Legislature of South Carolina, on
Wednesday, recommended the passage of res
olutions reaffirming the position of the state, as
expressed i'll the convention Of 1852, declaring
her right to secede from the federal Union,
and that the people should make common
cause with those Of Virginia and be prepared
to sustain her in her vindication Of the institu-
tons Of the South. The minority of the com.
mittee repsrt resolutions that the frontier
states especially, and the Southern states gen
orally, may rely upon the aid of South Caro-
lima in Vindication Of their rights, in or out Of
the Union, and that the military contingent
fund be increased to 100000. The debate
will take place tomorrow.
According to the opinions of prominent Con-
gressmen, it is not probable that the election of
a Speaker will be effected tomorrow. Indeed,
no idea can be formed as to how long the de-
bate in the House will be extended. Calcutta
tons continue to be made by members outside
the Republican ranks, as to the best means of
uniting the Southern opposition and such Anti
Lecompton Democrats as have not voted for
MIR. Bocock. Up to this evening they have
not come to satisfactory arrangement.
