JEFFERSON, sany 94h, 1860
JONI BRowx, JR, ESQ Sin I'll left at
your house to-day summons from the select
committee Of the Senate to appear before said
Committee on the 3Oth inst. regret exceed
ingly that was unable to see you, for think
l could have satisfied you that It would be to
your interest to appear before the Committee.
The only objection suppose you can have to
do So is tho fear that the authorities Of Virginia
might take advantage of your presence in that
region and arrest you and take you to that
State.
OF this, take it upon myself to sny you
need have no fear. In the letter from Senator
Mason, enclosing me the papers, he makes use
Of this language, viz "If you can get an in
tcrview or other means of communication with
him. John Brown he may be induced to come
under the assurance you can give, that by
late law Of Congress, no person who has been
examined as q witness before committee Of
either House Of Congress, can afterwards be
held to answer upon criminal charge for any
fact or act done or committed by him to which
hiG testimony may refer. Thus, should the wit
ness have done anything in connection with the
Harper's Ferry affair which might subject him
to prosecution, by testifying before the Com
mittee be will be thenceforth exempt from pro-
secuton."
These are the words of Senator Mason, and
TO them add pledge of my sacred honor,
that If you will appear in Cleveland on Friday
morning next and accompany me to Washing.
ton, that neither on the way, nor in that city
shall you be molested, but after giving your
testimony, will see you safely returned to your
home propose that on Thursday next you
come to Cleveland aud see Judge Spalding,
Judge Tilden and other friends and consult with
them as to the propriety Of going as propose,
and it you make up your mind to go, that we
leave that city on the following day. l will
also state that l have no warrant for your ar
rest, nor has there ever been any issued from
any source. The assertion TO the contrary by
the Cleveland Plain Dealer" of last week be-
ing aD unmitigated hlsehood.
leave this with your friend Smith Edwards,
Esq, with whom have fully conversed on that
matter ours, NJ. JOHNSON.

NATIONALITY OF SLAvERY.-The question
of the nationality of slavery under the con-
stitution, or the right of shareholders to
bring their slaves into free state and hold
them there IN transitu, has Just been rear
gued before the New York court of appeals
in the celebrated Lennon slave case, and
their decision will doubtless sustain that
OF the supreme court of the state, that
the slaves were made free by being yolun-
tary brought into free state. The case
will then go to the United States supreme
court, giving that body an opportunity to
amplify and extend its doctrine of the ma.
tionality Of slavery. AS this doctrine rests
upon the idea that property 10 men is ex.
actly the same as property in things, there
can be no COOL reason for limiting the
Shareholders right to make transit through
a free state with slaves the logic is lust
as complete for his right to hold them there
forever, and thus we reach the inevitable
conclusion that there can be no free states
under the constitution.

JOHN NJ BoTTs.-of Virginia, who is
most as uneasy a man as Gov. Wise himself,
has jnst published a new and long letter on
the state of the times, or rather the state of
his feelings towards our present politics
and the next presidency. lie denies that
the republican party had anything to do
with John Brown, and blames Virginia for
spending half million to Iionize him; thinks
the Helper book contains incendary matter,
but that neither that nor anything else JUS
titles the cry Of disunion; says the Union
was made to be perpetual, aud will be
so sternly rebukes the South for lynching
aud abusing northern men and calls on
the southern opposition to rally on the
issue of opposition to carrying slavery into
free territories by national legislation or by
force of arms In fine, Mr. Bolts has written
a sensible republican letter, which will meet
a response among moderate aud conserva-
tive sOutherners. When the southern op-
position will come mp boldly TO his standard
the slavery agitation will be quicted, the
disunion bubble will burst, and the demo
cratic party will be thrust out of power
permanently.

THE SPEAKERsHIP. the contest for speak
or at Washington, on the 2Tth, choice was
really effected once, but before the vote was
counted and announced, votes enough were
changed to reduce the majority to a minority.
The proceeding was this the southern oppo
sition put up Mr.. Smith of N. c.. one Of their
number, an old whig, aud about whose acguain-
tance with "Sam;" onirmations and denias ore
about equal, some six or eight American repub-
licans Of Pennsylvania also gave him their votes
as they had Mr.. Gimer OF N. G before. Then
the southern democrats came troopiug over to
him, and up he went alongside of Sherman's
vote; aud now the northern democrats we're
whipped in, one by one, coming hard, but com
ing as they always do when the South wants
them. In this way Mr.. Smith came TO have q
majority Of all the vote, but the Pennsylvania
and the New Jersey republicans, not being in
earnest and having played out the joke Of
doukeyizug the locos, hastened to back out,
and when the vote was declared, Mr. Smith
though III, the highest number yet given to
any candidate, still was three below majority
IT was an exciting scene and perhaps narrow
escape. The whole performance was sharp
hint to the republicans to change their candi-
date, and put up another man, as Pennington
of N. J. This they did on Monday, and came
within two votes of an election. Pennington
is good selection and as free from objection,
aud occupies as able and diguifed position as
any republican member Of the House.
A vote on Tuesday came within one vote Of
eIecting Gov. Pennington. Whole number Of
votes, 233 necessary to choice III Gov.
Pennington had ll6 McCIcrnsnd 9l; Gilmer

THE Struggle Eaded
The victory won
A Republican Speaker Elected


The long, fierce, and il.mannered strug
gle which has been waged for eight weary
weeks, was ended on Wednesday last
by the election Of WM. PENSrSoroN
Ex-Governor of New Jersey. This result
is the signal triumph Of steady fOrbearance,
perseverance and frmness of the noble
baud of Republicans in the House. Though
the trial has been weary, discouraging, and
provoking to degree which called for the
exercise Of much philosophy, the result is a
glorious one, and pays all it cost in the re-
buke II administers, to arrogance aud vic.
lence, in conscious self respect, and in the
vantage ground upon which the Republican
party is placed Though our friends were
constrained to drop the man of their first
choice, there was no change Of front -
They assumed no new ground. They did
not 90 outside of their own organization.
Mr. Pennington formerly Clay Wing, is
true and tried Republican. An active
supporter of Fremont and Dayton in 1856,
be voted for Mr. Sherman on every ballot
and was willing to adhere to him to the
last Mr.. Pennington is no common man.
He has already made his mark in Congress,
and stands high in the confidence and re.
gard of the people of New Jersey, having
served them on different occasions in the
capacity of speaker in the senate, Govern
or, and Chancellor of the state. He is re.
garded as one of the ablest lawyers in New
Jersey, and on the opening of the present
session took rank at once as leader of
the Opposition to the proslavery Adminis-
tratiou. The election of such q man to
the Speakership of the new congress is
victory indeed 1t opens the way to Just
and proper arrangement of the House COM
mttees, ensures a thorough examination
and exposure of Administration corrup.
tlons, aids in wise legislation, and unerring-
ly points to crowning triumph Of Repub-
lcan principles in the National contest
next November
Well see now, how many of the disuni.
onists will leave their salary and mileage,
aud fulfill their threats Of Withdrawing
from the confederacy, and its councils
