WAsHINGToN, Jan. %.
It is no longer to he doubted, and Republi-
cans themselves admit it, that bitter contest
is destined to take place, at an early day, be-
tween the Radical and Conservative portions Of
the Republican party We have had evidence
this in the speeches lately delivered by Gid
dings and WaShburn, and Marshall and Thomp-
son, on the duty Of the opposition in the future.
Washburn took the lead, and backed by Gid
lings, urged and insisted upon the Republican
party Of the north remaining true to the anti
slavery platform of 18jG;-to insist upon the
nomination ofan anti-s}avery candidate in 1860;
to spurn all offers oraIlance with men who
would not place themselves upon such plat
/ form,-and declared, in case the Republican par
tv should fail 10 do this that the northern States
would all return to the Democracy. These
speeches could not he left to go before the peo-
I pl, unanswered, Notwithstanding the other side
would rather have ros'porcd the commence
ment OF the fight until the meeting of the next
Congress, when they expect to receive great
assistance from many Of the opposition members
elect. Marshall, of Ky, Southern slave hold
er and Know Nothing, was chosen to reply to
Washburn and Gddings, and tender an invita-
ton to northern Republicans to unite on fu-
sion ticket in 1862 Thompson, a Republican
member from New York, followed Marshall, in
reply to the gentleman from Ohio, and the gen
leman from Maine; denied their right to lay
down any particular rule of action for the Re-
publican actors to follow;-claimcd that their
effort to do so, was only an attempt to secure
personal advantages; and that so far as he was
concerned, he trusted the Republican party
would embrace brotherhood marching in pa-
,7oas uniforms, with different, yet friendly, ban
ners, to the music Of the Union and the Const-
tutioE." In your State the struggle will be bit
ter, and the leaders OF the two wings will leave
no effort united to defeat each other, their po-
litical life depends upon their success.
The difficulty between MeSsrs. Douglas and
Fitch, occasoned by denying the statement of
each other during the secret session on Frida y
last, has, us was expected been 'honorably ad-
juSted" by colrespondence-in which neither
one rctracts and both use their utmost endeav.
ors to exhibit the ill-teeling they entertain to-
ward each other. 1t would have been much
more to the credit of both gentlemen, if they
had kept their correspondence out OF the pro-
gress, and still more to their credit if they had
acted as gentlemen should during the session
and reirained from the use Of such language as
to require correspondence or duel .'-sYnon
ymous terms here now--to explain it satisfac
tolily. Is it to be wondered at that the Sen.
ate is no longer yenerated as in days gone bye!
The second reception for the season tool
place at the Presidential mansion on Tuesda,
) evening. The crowd was exceedingly large
and numbered all sorts OF people--from tn
highest to the lowest. The Marine Band dis
coursed sweet music and the Pres sident, q
course, received in his usual alTable manner.
The two gentlemen recently elected by fl
sion Of the Douglas men and republicans in th
Indiana Legislature to contest the seats nov
ED by Messls. Bright and Fitch have bee
here for several days, but meet with very poo
success, and there is no doubt that when til
, end comes, they will discover that they hav
= had their trouble for their pains The Senat
decided all the points involved, last White
in favor of the present incumbents.
After amending the Pacific Railroad bill S
. often, that there was scarcely anything left @
: its original provisions, the Senate passed
8 yesterday. The vote stood yeas 81, nays 20
y As passed, the bill simply authorizes the Secre
If ary OF the Interior to advertise for proposals
c building the road, by the northern contract an
l. southern routes and leaves it to the next Con
!" gress to make the decision as to which rou
shall be taken, il any. The time between til
y and the close Of the session is too short to e,
'i pect that that the house will pass this or al
v other Pac ifc Road bill before adjournment.
:. AS Mr.. GddingS' Congressional career clos,
&C on the 4th Of March next, your member, NJ
Bingham, stands good chance Of being selectC
&c the leader orthe radical Republicans from yol
f State in the next House There is no memb
of from your State on whom the mantle of 80
l. Gid" would fall more worthy than on John A
Bingham.
/ The question Of the revision of the Tarii
d promises to cause considerable discussion in ii
a House, previous to its adjustment. The potit
# c,l parties are divided in regard to the fuesto
n The friends Of a change in the existing law
: claim that they have a majority in the Hous
though are extremely doubtful as regards Il
=, Senate.
n The business Of Congress has fallen very muc
n behnd-h hand since thc holidays, and unle
of greater speed is exhibited in the business
legislation hereafter, tho calling Of an extra Sc
d sion will he inevitable. B.
