How Stands the Natter

Should there be no election Of President by
the people. which now seems moral impossi-
bilty. everything indicating the election OF
Lincoln, then the whole matter is thurst into
the Halls Of Congress, to become the fruitful
subject of intrigue, corruption, excitement, and
under the present division Of parties in the
House, one fraught with danger to the country.
There are some belonging to the Belland Everett
party who are hoping that Mr.. Bell may be
elected by the House, basing their hopes Of such
a result on the favorable feeling Of the Repub-
licans toward Mr.. Bell in preference to other
candidates At the commencement Of the cam
paign no doubt some such feeling existed, but
the conduct Of the Bell and Everett leaders,
has been 50 devoid ofcommon sense, and marked
with disrespect towards the republicans that
the current Of preference, "ifit existed" has
been turned aside, and there is no ground for
believing that Mr.. Bell in any event could re-
ceive the republican support in the House
necessary to make him President. The Bell
jingling Of the Bell party has been suicidal to
, all their hopes. While the election of Lincoln
looks certain, II may not be amisJ to look over
the condition Of parties in Congress and SCI
how they stand in reference to the matter Of
the Presidency. The House stands divided o,

writes us the following "The veteran Joshus
r. Giddings was in town the other night on hi.
way from one appointment to another, and
agreeably to general request Of citizens Of oil
parties he addressed very large audience In
the Court House. The Douglas leaders were on
hand, Of course, to catch up any word which
might be used to swell the stale cry, Abolition.
When Mr.. Giddings concluded, he ayowed his
readiness to answer any questions which might
be asked. Instanter up popped the leading
spirit Of the hosts Of Douglas In our town and
county, Mr.. 8. b. MattoI, with the question,
Did you not say, while in Congress, that
were you slave you would obtain your free

mans instant reply-the countenance Of the
querist rosc-'yes, Sir, and I say Il now
would do it-and pouldnt your Down went
the face Of the Douglaste, for here was an en-.
tertainment to which he had not thought OF
being invited. His answer was, 4 don't wan'i
an argument with you, Mr.. Giddings.' But
you have capacity to answer plain question,
said Mr.. G., If you have not enough for an
argument He still hestated. Come, thun.

would suppose, we hear no more OF Gidding's
