THE MANNERS OF THE oLIaARcHY.

Consfpondenee Of The N. Y. Tame.
WAsnINSFos, JSn. 10, 1850.
Our friends in the House Of Representatives de-
great credit, greater even than has been ac-
corded to them, for the equanieity with which
they maintain silence under the most tantalzing
psovocatons to plunge into the general debate
and for the persistency with which they bend all
their energies to the election Of Speaker, despite
the turbulence Of open enemies and the tYeachery
of those whom they had right TO rely upon as
allies. A reader Of the daily proceedings Of The
House, as reported by the telegraph, can have but
feeble conceptions Of the rudeness, the indeesncy,
the asperity of the attacks which the South
ern Oyerseer and their Northern hirelngs are
constantly making upon the Republicans as a
party, upon prominent men in their ranks, and
especially upon their candidate for Speaker. To
say that they outrage all Parliamentary rules, and
Ind neither precedent nor parallel in the annals Of
even Ine American Congress- is tame statement of
the fact. These attacks have their keenest sting not
20 much IN the words uttered, though these are
bitter and irritating to the last degree of human en-
duraDce; nor in the fasity Of the charges personal
and political, which ignorance, maligDity, and men,
dacity send kissing across the Hall, like poisoned
arrows; but il is in the lofty tone the domneering
gesture, the air OF command, and the plantation
manners generally which the Qyerseers naturally ex-
hlbit, and their hirelings feebly copy toward the
Republicans, that renders the struggle for tho
speahershlp protracted martyrdon Even the
iron.nerved John Brown, on being asked if he we're
red during the quarter Of an hour he stood ON the
afUp, with The cap drawn down. while Virginia
ch'ary marched and conntermarcbed around the
