ps5s Il IS amusing to see with what cagcrness
southern locofoco leaders seize upon the vote Of H.
fWiptsr TnYis for .PcHhington with the hope that
some capital may be made out Of H. We are sorry
that Davis give that vote because no Opposition
member was elected to vote for democrat or Re-
'rrhlican, ard he ought 10 have stood firm to the
last Bat IL the question be made to turn upon the
nen, and their comparative soundness upon the
glisrery Institution, we think Pennington the most
proper man True, he Is opposed to the extension
OF slavery, hui he openly rrocams il and designates
the means BY which lac would accomplish that
o6ject whilst McClernand is eqpally opposed to the
estehsionof slavery but would come at it by the
.sneaking process Of squettcr sovereignty. Give Va
,abold and manly opponent whom you always know
where to find and not the sly and insinuating
hypocri,e who smiles most blandly when he pro
poses TO betray most deeply.
sslf as Calhoun, Toombs, Wise and host of lead
inc southern democrats say, squatter sovereignty is
more fatal to slavery than the wilmot provso, and
nMctllernand is for the former, and Pennington for
the latter, every southern member who agrees with
the aforesaid WORTHLESS, guilty of treason TO the
South in voting for McClernand. And, strange as
HEry seem, southern men who have declared their
intention not to vote for Douglass il nominated,
did vote for bsstaunch friend who goes as far as his
fugem~ in the advocacy Of the odious doctrine
Did Davis DO worse than this? We think not
ana though we would not have voted as he did
eotld we be forced 10 choose between the two men,
bennington would have been our choice, because be
isas sound on,hc slavery question: and the leading
measures Of federal policy be is oil right whilst
McClernand Is all wrong We do not know Davis
motives for the vote in question: but If his obee
wes the easto two evils he-chose wisely, es a nan
however he may have erred as a conservative
southerner.
If squatter sovereignty is national doctrine, Nc
Glernand is a national man but if it be not, he Il
az thoroughly sectional ms Pennington, snd thest
who are so ready 10 denounce Davis for his vote
wohd do well first to purge themselves Of the i'm
Piled guilt Of their own position. So far as an,
sectional issue is involved, the difference between
the two contestants for the Speakership consist
wholly in the party names they respectively bear
Qd whatever importance is given to the position
oirether by extraneous circumstances, it is purel,
fctitious in the abstract. We are sorry for Davis
vote, but Congress has better Speaker than tn
squater sovereignty candidate Of the democratic
party. Hli lsA 80 tg}h h

American consul at Lyons
LYoxs July IL, 1852
have the honor TO acknowledge the receipt of
the circular from the State Department, of April
goth last contpnng the joint resolution Of Congress
the objection of which is TO relieve staple product
of the principal States of the American Union from
burdens which, it is believed, materially and un-
justly lessen its consumption. There cannot be
doubt that the heavy restrictions imposed upon
American tobacco by the Government of France
considerably diminish the consumption of the article
in this Empire. am confident that, through the
insrumcntality of our Minister at the French Court
demand that American tobacco imported into
France shall occupy position of reciprocity upon
the basis Of duty charged by the United States Gov
eminent upon silks and wines imported from the
French Empire, can be made available. The latter
articles are of great commercial importance to France
and the United States being their largest consumer,
hence the subject can most justly be made a meas
IRE of diplomatic arrangement with view to the
modification of existing onerous restrictions that
shall prove not only of great advantage to the plant
err but also to the general commerce between the
two countries.
