THE material portions of our correspondents
letter devoted to Mr.. Loyejoy's speech hare
been anticipated by the copious extracts from
the New York journals, published in cur COL
umns yesterday; hence re make room for the
following onty:l
Burnett Of Kentucky, who stood near Love-
joy, now roarcd out in his stentorian voice that
Ar. Lovejoy should never make that speech to
this House. Judge Kellogg, who had been in
distant part Of the chamber, hea1ing these
words, moved his way through the crowd to the
side Of Logejoy, aud said in voice equally
clear md distinct with that Of Burnett, any
COLLEAGUE SHALL SFEAkl lie shall say
what he p1eases in this House, provided be does
not violate any Of its rules" Dejarnette here
rushed towards Kellogg with his hand upon bis
revolver, but before he reached him he found
tie way blocked with Republicans. The best
lighting muscle Of the Republican side now
surrounded Losejoy. First ind foremost there
was F4rnsNorlh; then there WAS the giant Pot.
ter Of Wisconsin, Ailiward Of Philadelphia, who
Is tue strongest man in Washington, and who is
not ignorant Of the ars Of self.defcnse; French
Of Maine, who is sir feet three in his stockings,
and muscular in proportion; Toupkins of
Ohio, who would b. an ugly customer for any
live man to encounter; Dutlinton Of Massa-
chusetts, jolly but catny Deale and Kenyon Of
New York, good men and true, who would be in
at the death; and many other six-footers, with
long and strong arms which they were ready TO
rui:e the moment tbs first blow was struck upon
the other side. The mace Of the Sergeant-at-
Arms had by this time had the effect Of lulling
for moment the tumu1t.
The Southern bullies were oyerawed Mr..
Lo'sJuy, during all this excitement, was per-
fectlJ calm, and seemed to be the only uumored
man in the House. It is = rule of the
House that 4 member shall either speak
from his sent or from the Clerks desk.
As objections had been made by the Southern
members to bis speaking in the area, re went
ur into the dssk and continued his speech, his
eloquent tones rising above tho interruptions Of
The slaVe-drivers. Attempts were for some time
made to badger him in his speech, the term
"liar' coming at him as fast as the rotten eggs
fiew around him in the olden time; but after
while the bullics subsidsd, aud he concluded in
quiet.
This speech ras in itself one Of the greatest
efforts-ef Mr.. Lovejoy. After the adjournment
this afternoon, Pryor paradcd tho streets to
meet Loyejoy. The latter coming down the
avenue in company With number Of other
stalwart Republicans, the assassin concluded,
when the opportunity which he sought was
offered him. that discretion was the better part
of valor. This is no idle rumor-it is as well
known as that 1orejoy made his speech. The
fact is, Pryor was sent to Co:k:sss because be
was skilled in all the arts Of assassination. He
simply proposed to murder--coolly, deliberate
y murder him-proEided Lovejoy would act
" as Southern gentleman ought to act" This
was what Reuben Davis meditated in regard to
Van Wyck. It is what Northern members must
be prepared to meet, and guard themselves ac.
cordingIy.

Courier and Enquire-'s suggestion Of Douglas
Us the Republican candidate for President, in

Of her open enemy, Mr. Seward, ns in that Of
Mr. Douglas. WALDO.
