WASHINGTON, D. c.,
January &c, 1860.
Thomas Gorwin. of your State, delivered a
speech of four hours length, on Tuesday, in the
House. 1t resembed, in great measure, the
stump speeches delivered by him in the last
campaign in your State, the same jokes and
buiioonery, the same comic grimaccs and ges-
lures, interspersed with halfaud half defence
the Republican party. He dissented, or rath-
er professed TO dissent, from the "irrepressible
conflict doctrines of Seward, and upheld and
defended the consttutionaity Of the Fugitive
Slave Law. Tom is evidently trying to satisfy
all wings of the Opposition, with the hope that
they will unite, finally, and make him Speaker.
He is "laying around loose, c,"-Republican and
anti Republican conservative and anti-conser-
vative-"waiting for something to turn up
He denounces the sectionalis,n of his party
friends, with one breath, and with the next
vOtes for an endorser Of the Helper book; --he
upholds the enforcement of the Fugitive Slave
Law in his speeches. and then votes for man
for Speaker, who denounces the Law in the
most bitter manner. Is not this consistency?
While there is no doubt that majority OF the
Republican members of the House, are as bit.
terly opposed to the doctrines of Corwin in
most particulars, as they are to Democracy,
none Of them have the courage, or honesty, to
say word in opposition to them. They are
fearful that such movement would he but the
signal for general discussion In their own
ranks, which could but end in dividing the Re-
publican forces, and crush out all their hopes
for electing the Speaker. For this reason, they
have adopted the programmes to remain quiet
until after the organization.
Senator Douglas made his first speech, for this
session, in the Senate on Monday last, in favor
of the passage ofmeasures to prevent invaslons
of the States hereafter. He declared himself
in favor Of bastowing the power upon the Pres
ident to interfere, and break up all such con-
spiracies for the inuasion Of the States, and pun
ished those engaged IN it. He also charged the
Republican party as sponsible-directly re-
sponsible-lor the invasion at Harper's Ferry,
and the crimes committed there by John Brown
and his gang. The Republicans do.not reli ii his
speech in the least and regard it as an indica-
ton that the Domocrrcy north, south, east and
west, will be thoroughly united in the coming
Presidential struggle.
few weeks since it was discovered that
Elder Peek, tn, Republican Treasurer ofthe
State of Mains, WAS defaulter to large a
mount. 1t now appears, according to the Ban
gor, (Me.) Union, that the deialcation is owing,
in great degree, to the extreme liberality oil
the Elder is assisting Messrs. Somes French
and Foster, Republican members Of the present
Congress, during the campaign. For the first
named he is said to have expended S13 900; for
the second, $4,000, and for the third $4,000
He also gave $ll 900 more to q prominent lead
er of the party, for electioneering purposes in
| the State. The triumph Of the Republican par
ty and its Congressmen at the last election, has
proved rather an expensive luxury to the peo
! pie of Maine las we II as Elder Peck. While the
| latter is awaiting his trial, a ruined and dis
heartencd man. the former will have the pleas
ure of making up by heavy taxes,th amount il
cost them to secure a Republican triumph
Forty SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS, in one campa'g,
from the State Treasury! Wonder il this Re-
publican triumph over the Treasury, will be her.
aided forth by the Republican press, as was the
election of the Congressman above named?-
Rather doubtful, is it not? Who would'n! be-
long to the glorious Republican party?
Hon. VIM. D. Bishop, Commissioner OF Pa.
tents, has rendered his resignation to take eff
fect from the 1st Of February next. 1t is said
that Hon. Samuel lngham, Commissioner Of
Customs has been offered the place made va
cant by Mr.. Bishops resignation.
Another ballot for Speaker was taken yes
terday in the House, with the following result
Sherman los; Bocock 81; Scattering 59 Ne
ccssary for choice 1O8 From rumors current
about the city, am inclined to the opinion thai
some conservative Democrat will be elected tc
the Speakership, by a union of all opposed tt
the Helper doctrines. 1t is not believed tha
Sherman can possibly be elected.
Rumors have reached us that the Republican
State Treasurer Of Michigan is likely to prov
a defaulter. Commissioners were appointed Il
audit his accounts, who have made a report, O
which the following is the conclusion: "W
therefore find that the said John Mckinney ha
received Of the State of Michigan, as Stat
treasurer, the said six last mentioned sums
money, amounting in all to the sum ofone hun
dred and ten thousand one hundred and ninet,
eight and rs. Tooth dollars (110,19S 75) 0hic7
aoe do not find in the State treasury, or secured b
approved bonds, asreq~ired by laso." Wonder
any of the $110,198 Is was used to aid in Sc
curing Republican triumph at the last electio,
in Michigan? Who will hencetorth doubt tn,
honesty of Republican office holders, with sucl
examples Gibson, Peck, and Mckinney befor
them? B.
PRESIDENT BUCHANAN. The following, from
the Newark Advocate, may be set down as true
as gospel:
