pRoCEED1Nes AT WASHINGTON.

They do not elect a Speaker at Washing
ton, but the Democratic party takes great
pains to show the country its true character
and aims. Its leaders are rabid disunionists
Sc they tell the country, in most Of their
speeches and, usually, after the coaFsest ans
most reckless utterances of disunion treason,
they turn furiously upon Helpers book Most
of these ill-hred orators make us feel that they
are insincere They de not talk treason be-
cause they mean it, but because their game of
politics has become desperate. They seek to
gain by violence what they find it impossible to
reach by other means, 1t appears now that
most of the southern Democrats have signed
written pledge that they will oppose the plu-
rality rule by every parliamentary method in
their power AS one of them has said, they
will "let discord reign forever" sooner than
allow Republican to be elected. If the spir-
it, tone, and sentiments of these men could be
acceptable to the American people, this would
be public confession of unfitness for free in.
stitutious.
The true reason for these factious proceed
ings of the Democrats in Congress, has little
or nothing to do with the slavery question.
There are corruptions and rascalities of the
COVE rnment officials to be exposed, which will
startle the country. Some men in high places
will be eliminated, and such things will be
brought to light as draw general attention and
cause no little excitement. So it is said. The
words of Mr.. Pryor, quoted against him by
Mr.. Nelson of Tennessee, that from the high
ways and byeways of this administration,
there comes up an insuferable stencil of cor
ruption," were not used as a mere flourish of
rh etoric. 1t is understood among the opposi-
ton members, of all classes, that, when the
H ouse is organized, there must be an investi-
eating committee to explore some of these
corruptions; and, it is the fear of such COM
mittee, appointed by a Republican Speaker,
that draws the administration party in the
House to such desperate measures of opposi-
ton.

WIscoNsIN.-The Republicans of Wiscon-
sin have called State Convention to be held
on the 10Th of February, to nominate candi-
date for Chief Justice, and to elect delegates to
the National Republican Convention. The
state rights Republicans, who are manifestly
in the ascendant, are supporting A. d. SMITH
for Chief Justice Considerable interest is
manifested in the choice of delegates to the
Chicago Convention In reply to a criticism
that the convention has been called too early,

the number at work between Bellingham and

is entertained that the road will be completed

The MISTAKE OF THE DEMOCRATIC
S TATEs.-It is the great misfortune of the
Democratic states of the confederacy that they
have never learned the secret of building up
manufactures, They have made it impossible
for their servile laborers, through ignorance,
to give any assistance except in the most
primitive branches of activity. And if they
get cunning artisan or a skilful mechanic,
who is freeman, into their power, they are
ia more likely to tar and feather him, than
they are to treat him with decency and re-
spect. Facility and experience in the useful
arts is repulsed from that state of labor and So
CT ETY. which brands those occupations with
kind of disgrace. And while there is not a state
n the Union, that would not be proud to be
first in manufacturing, as well as in agricultur-
al, or the more simple enterprises, yet halfthe
states practically forbids the foundations of the
enterprise to be laid. What is the result? Why,
those states with the unparalleled advantage of
original sources of wealth, present the most beg
carly account, in the annual statistics, of near
ly everything except the production of cotton
While the capital invested in manufactures I'M
der the fostering and benehcent care of free
institutions exceeds $500, 1000, the manu-
featuring capital Of the slave states, with the
abundance of raw material in their hands,
falls below $100,0O0,0O0, which is chiefly
invested in states where slavery has the
least control. And this proportion runs
through nearly every tabular statement which
can be made of the educational, commercial,
or industrial condition of the sections of the
country. Notwithstanding this state of de-
pendence and inferiority, we find them as
Stunning the air of censorship and authority,

tone the Democratic section addresses its par
tisans throughout the country, who get up
union meetings and manufacturer conven.
tons, for the comfort of states oppressed by
the legalized and compulsory ignorance which
has been justly called the curse of God.

death in most shocking manner. She was
sitting by the stove when her clothes caught

bed clothes caught fire, and she was literally
burned to crisp. The unfortunate woman
