Yhe Contest at washington.

At the moment We write We are without
any advices, by mail, from Washington later
than the morning of the 9th, the day on
which Congress convened. There was at
that time considerable speculation as to the
intentions of parties, but Geographic infor-
nation shows these to have been mere specu-
lations. This much seems to be true, that
the Southern Opposition members held a
caucus and nominated Mr.. GILMER, of North
Carolina, as their candidate. A correspon-
dent of the n. Y. Times says the Representa-
tive from this District, Hon. JAS. III. QuARLEs,
made stirring speech in The caucus IN sup
port of the policy of makinga nomination and
adhering to it. We presume this is the policy
which has been adopted. 1t is further stated the
Southern Opposition pledged themselves not
to vote for the plurality rule, under any cir
instances. If this be the policy really which
the Southern Opposition have adopted. their
constituents will sustain them in maintaining
It firmly. They occupy safe, middle ground
between the ultraisms of the republicans and
the democracy, and are nucleus around
(which all who desire an organization upon
an anti-sectional basis, can gather without
an abandonment of principle. In the state OF
things which have prevailed. We do not see
how the House is to be organized unless the
Southern Opposition candidate be centered
upon. The republicans, having the great
est number of members, Of any single
party. will probably stand fast to one
of their men. They have been too hopeful
to think of giving up their chances; or tc
give the country such an evidence Of con
servaiism as the support OF Mr.. GHMER would
afford 1t would please us much to see then
lower their sectional flag, and take a natiOna
position, but we fear "Ephraim is Joined t.
his idols"
What will the democratic members do! /
they really wish to destroy the prestige o
republicanism, and to keep the Speaker
wand out of the clutches of republican
why may they not concentrate upon Mr.
GIIMER? BY elecdng him, they will put :
true Southern man in the chair, and show
their faith in their works. Further, if they
are honest in their clamor for a Union of tn,
South might not the election Of Mr.. GILMEI
from an olive branch, useful in efiecting thai
