PoLITICAL.-A correspondent thinks there is
no chance of the election of Speaker until after
the disuniun Convention at Charleston, April
18th, when Douglas will be thrown overheard,
and his friends will join the Republicans.
Of the Presidents Message, the Washington
correspondent of the New York Tribune says ::
" Politically, it is considered utterly disastrous
to the Democracy, by the recommendation Of
slavery in the Territories, which is more than
leading Southern men desire, and which the
Supreme Court never decided, as asserted by the
President. This. and the proposed invasion Of
Mexico, have excited much comment, as a bar
faced bid for denomination Mr.. Douglas
friends are greatly excited, as the Whole move
ment is aimed principally against him." The
HeraltFs correspondent says: The friends of
Mr.. Cobb pronounce it bid for the Charleston
nomination. So say some of the supporters Of
General Lane. The Anti-Lecompton and Doug
las Democrats denounce it, if possible, in
stronger terms than the Republicans. The
Tinss' correspondent says " Neither wing Of
the Democratic party is pleased with the man
ner in which the Presldant treats the subject of
slave property in the Territories.
The New York Tribune's Washington CORES
pondence says that no coalition can be formed
now, which will command for the Democracy
the united Southern Opposition and four Anti
Lecompton men. Without such combination
success is impracticable. Nearly all the letters
the Southern Opposition receive sustain their
independent position, and deprecate any fusion
with the Democracy, since the insulting rejec~
ton of Mr., Gilmer.
The Heraids correspondent learns of talk
about proposition having been made by some
eight or ten Democrats to as many Republicans.
that the former will leave the hall on certain
ballot, and allow Mr.. Sherman to be elected. if
the Republicans will agree to resist and defeat
the election Of FornOy for Clerk,

A scene occurred in the House at Washing.
ton, last week, in which Grow, Of Penusylvan-
la, and Branch, of North Carolina were the
actors. Branch inlpugmeG the motives of Mr..
Grow, and Mr.. Grow repealed the accusation
with degree Of GOODNESS and determination,
which caused Branch to send Grow challenge.
Mr.. Grow replied to the note of Mr.. Branch,
justifying has own course in the House, and an
nouncing in plain AnglO-Saxon language that
the practice Of the code, being violation of
the principles of Christianity, and considered
a crime under the laws of his own State and
by the National Legislature, of which he and
Mr.. Branch were members, he could not recog-
nize it, but would defend his personal rights
and the right of the freedom of debate under
the Consultation, whenever assailed.

The man does not live in the United States
whose chance for the Charleston nomination is
not as good as that of Stephen A. Douglas
Exchange.
Taking the above remark-which is now the
general opinion-as conclusion, where will
the Patriot go to after the 23d of April? Will
it down upon Its knees and continue to pray ior
the success of party seeking a dissolution of
the Union ? Where will it go after November,
1860? For it is as morally certain that Re
publican President will then be elected, as it is
that the people have free expression at the
polls Will it secede2

man nature itself, y ga piratical warfare, the
opprobrium Of nfdel powers, San execrable
commerce, the most inhuman, unjust, I'm
christian, diaboical piracy that ever aroused
the just wrath and Indignation of Christendom.
And mark, that he nowhere intimates that this
traffic violates any absolute rights,-that it Isl
of itself inherently wrong, but he opposes it on
the paltry ground of political economy He
addresses his arguments to the pockets and the
fears, not to the conscience of the South. II
will, he says, make Slavery more insecure, de-
preciate the value of the slaves already at the
South, introduce among the present sober,
orderly, quiet slaves" a horde of wild barba4
rians, harden the heart Of the master, and de-
moralize the servant, and thus have tendency
to pervert the Divine institution, make 1T und, \
go an 6 unfortunate change" and in the q /
peril its very existence. But nowhere in IL.
this palaver is it limited that the poor " wiltt
heather ignorant barbarian" has any rights
to be consulted, that those engaged in this
" execrable commerce." are waging pratt
cal warfare against human nature ITSELF, 4
which finds no precedent and no palliation id
the law or the conscience of any civilized nat
ton. The Lord have mercy upon, and illnt
inmate the soul and conscience of this "old
public functonary," who can find no fercet
denunciation of robbery, theft, and murder
than its denoralSing effect upon him who under
the black flag of the African Slave Trade, |
ploughs the sea to rob, steal and kill " wild
heather ignorant barbarians.' 1t would be REL
freshng after Buchanan, to hear Thomas JEFF
ferson, if he were still in the flesh, read his
Declaration of Independence.
The Message, of course, again urges the ac-
QUESTION Of Cuba, though it furnishes no new
reasons; recommends an increase of duties
upon imports suggests the importance of a
Pacific railroad asks again to be clothed with
the war making power desires to loan money
to Mexico on mortgage Of that distracted
country, anticipating, of course, a speedy OPP
portunity to forcibly forecose the same; dis
cusses to some extent our foreign relations
shows the condition of the Treasury, and the
Postal Department. and closes with the name
of James Buchanan, who in the providence of
God, will have but one more opportunity, in an
annual message, in similar manner, to prove
himself officiating, superanuated, " old pub
lie lunctionary.'
