The country is getting tired Of tie wran-
gle at Washington. ever the election of
Speaker for the House. The belief is
gaining ground that there is wide differ
ence between the professions and actions
Of members-hetwsen what they say and
de-and that they are laboring more for the
benefit Of party than country. The South
ern constituency neither expect nor desire
their representatives 10 vote for Black
Republican especially one Of the "Eelper
sDdorsers," and Gen. CLARk's resolution,
declaring that no enc who endorsed Help
er's Book was fit TO be Speaker, met with
almost universal appreciation. 1t follows,
then, that all members Of Congress who
endorse that resolution, should so shape
their action us TO prevent the election Of c
man who had endorsed the reasonable pub
LEGATION; and especially is it incumbent on
the mover Of the resolution. Have they
done this, thus seeking 10 put an end 10
the contest, and at the same time c!ec;ing a
sound, conservative man Speaker? They
have NOT, though ample opportunity has
been given them. Many of them laid aside
party, and went for the country. Some Of
the members from this Stale are Of that
ou,,ber hut Mt n. ,,a,,bar r-o,, - nj
trict, though he should have been The first.
To make this charge good, and show
Gen. CLARK's constituents Especially the
Old Line Whigs,) where he stands, we
propose TO examine the proceedings in The
House of Representatives on The 2slh Of
December last, as reported i'll the New
