ORGANIZATION rIhc TIon.o.

In an article which appeared 10 this paper week ago
in reference to the organization Of the House of Rome
sentaves and particularly regards the election Of
Speaker, we made the following suggestion to the con
sentative Opposition members Of Congress We said.
We would recommend therefore 10 our Southern
Opposition friends in Congress line of policy different
from that which have heretofore advocated In our
opinion then in view Of the altered condition of a,ir
they should nominate one Of their number and sup
port him. through thick and thin opposing too tic
adoption of the plurality rule and throwing The Who'll
responsibility Of organization upon the Republican and
democratic parties ln event ia face of recent alarm
ing occurrences, should they for Black Repubicap
as such nor n any event, should they vote for Dem
ocrit, who would inevitably pack the Committee so a.
10 prevent a investigation into the enormous and unp,r
aleled corrupuOns aud frauds which have sigp,I,sd G
present Democratic Administration and thereby defeat
the wishes and expectations Of the people and 6,G die
ends Of public Justice They should stand 10 bemsoye
and by themselves, going to neither Of the other parties
hd leaving both OF these parties come TO them II they
choose. Such Is our suggestion aud recommendation
made in the light Of recent events and i'm view Of t9
coming incics aud probabilities Of the future"
For iho suggestion thu' made, we have been taken to
task by The Baltimore Patriot which, in the sublmity Of
," flng'Ogiy aud'city and Stiffness charges us with
playing into the hands Of the Democracy" Now. we
care nothing uHhe world about the Baltimore patro, or
s opinion good bad. We are in the habit Of acting
on our own convictions Of proprety and policy whether
right or wrong aud certainly We shall mover allow our
selves 70 be swerved hairs breadth from any course
may think proper 10 pursue by the stupid auimadycr
SONS and misrepresentation Of a stupid Plug1qIy or
gan par sJesiisHes Beside we do NOT belong and
never have belonged to the peculiar party or faction or
what not Of which the Patriot vaunts the leadership
Ours an independent old Line Wing journal which has
not particle Of love for Democracy or Black Bspubi
canism or PugUgyism and which expects never Ia
leud The slightest support countenanco 10 either Of
these factions, SUCH There might be circumstance
however under which would feel IL our duty 10 co.
operate temporarily With either, for the sake Of som,
particular object Of absorbing public magnitude But
We do not anticipate that such circumstance will arise
We hall Therefore stand where We are and where W,
have always stood, ready 20 battle with M Of nj
parties whose creed sto rights Of the States and IA.
Iniou Of The States. We love the Union but We Low,
Virginia more The Patriot on The contrary II IL en-,

hopecssy welded 70 the Baltimore city spons and conss
