Speaker Of the House was secured by the vote Of
HESRY WINTER DAVIS Of Maryland ana BRiaGs of
New York Republican accessions from the so-ealed
'.Ameriaan party. They deserted and went oveF /
to tha support of the Northern Aboltionists. at
time when patriot national Northern and Southern
Democrats bad abaudonelpartys and were support
INCA Southern Wing purely on the ground Of ms
nalsonaiity
This vote Of DAVIS was received with much in
dignation in Baltimore. The EDclaags says 1t has
produced profound impression in that community.
It adds that Maryland is saYehoiding State, ident-
fled in interest and feeling with the people of the
South Mr.. DAVIS, representing the commercial
capital Of that State casts his vote for an avowea
enemy Of Southern institutions.
The Sun saws. the act Of this man, who grossly
misreDresents the fourth district Of the State Of
MARYLAND in the Congress Of the United States con
sumrnatsd the infamy OF his position yesterday.by
irving The vote and suffrage Of this people to Black
Republican for Speaker Of the House CT Repre-
sentatives. The act is foul calumny a libel
upon the citizens Of Baltimore, and is explieable
only,lpon the wellknown fact that he was returned
loniqllf only by the violence and fraud of that
club law which prevailed on election day
The Know-Notlling organ makes no apology for
the vote, while the American equally condemns it
with the rest.
As yet the Nashville Banner and Patriot have made
no ausion to the DISCRETION from their ranks by DAVIS
and Iluees. We hope they wiz speak out It is but
right that the country should know in what light
they view the disgraceful conduct of these repre-
sentative men of their party.
Az INJURED PArnor-Mr BORIS, Of Virginia. is
an fl-used man He wrotea letter upon the pres
sure Of political affairs, and invited twenty leading
politicians to hear it read They came to his house
and listened to the reading of the document, and
when its author had finished, were so enthusiastic
that they were obliged to request him to retire into
another room in order that they might give full
vent to their eulogcs The author thus distinguish
ed has since published his paper, and now finds, to
his a1nazement nearly all those who then approved
so warmly Of his views, sOlemnly repudiating his
paper and himself under their sign-manuaL Such
is popularity, such the favor Of the tickle multitude
Corroy LArrruDEs-The production and growth
of cotton is monopoly Of climate-lt cannot be
successfully cultivated except between the latitude
of 80 and 80 degrees; extending from the Atlantic
to the Pacfc-a region of earths surface 24O miles
in breadth and 1000 in length. Much of this region
is incapable from steriity and other causes to prot
itably cultivate this staple. ItfoIlows as necessa
~ consequence that as the amount of cotton land:
diminish, the remainder are rendered more valua

He says, among other things:

Having no Shareholders in England, | should
have been beating the air if had preached against
slavery to my people, for this is the very last crime
they are likely to commit. 1t is far more probable
that any stakeholder who should show himself IN
cur neighborhood would get mark which he
would carry to his grave, if it did not carry him
there.
i do from my inmUst soul detest slavery any
where and everywhere, and although l commune at
the Lords table with men Of all creeds, yet with a
STAKEHOLDER / have no fellowship Of any sort or
kind. Whenever one has called upon me have
considered il my duty to express my detestaton Of
his wickedness and would as soon think Of receiv-
ing murderer into my church, or into any sort Of
friendship, as a manstealer."
From the concluding paragraph of his letter it
appears, also, thathe is one with the same class
of orators and preachers in sympathizing with the
objects Of the Harper's Ferry raid, and in immor-
talizing its leader.
Finally. let me add, John Brown Is immortal in
the memories of the good in England, and IN my
heart he lives
Surely, more respectable are the writings Of Ton
PAYNE, than of processing christian minister who
from his sacred office teaches the world that trea-
son and murder are virtues to be commemorated.

STURGEON the theatrical, sensation preacher Of
London, in a letter to the Boston Watctmqn and Re
fecor, clears himself from the charge Of suppress
ing his denunciatOns of African slavery, as recOg-
Missed in this country, in the American edition Of his
sermons It seems that for this suppression we are
indebted to the good taste Of the publishers, and
not the author. Recognising the existence Of his
large audience in the United States he does not pro-
pose hereafter to suffer the 'crying sin Of man
stealing" to go unrebuked; 1and inasmuch as the
publication of his sermons has been the most prof
table investment Of his publishers it would seem no
more than fair that they should not now prevent
him from giving his opinions on this subject what
ever publicity he desires, even though the conse-
quence were TO be to him the loss Of the southern
audience which the published series Of his sermons
