Speaking on Monday.

On yesterday there was an animated and cut
ting discussion at the Courthouse, between Hon.
John T. Harris, who is candidate for re-elec-
ton to Congress, and Jas. FL. Skinner, ESQ.,, who
is candidate for the NOMINATION of the Demo
cratic party for the same office. As Mr.. Skinner
said that he intended to meet Mr.. Harris at all
points in the District he seems to calculate with
great certainty upon receiving the nomination.
Some over hopeful persons s'count their chick.
ems before they are hatched." MIR. Harris is s
UNION candidate, and Mr.. Skinner will be, if he
get the nomination, SECESSION candidate. Botf
speakers were loudly applsuded.
Robt. L. Doyle, Esq, being loudly called for.
appeared upon the stand, and. in respoass 10 !

candidate for Congress. said that ne WAS NOT and
woULE NOT be candidate-thst though he ksG
been Wing all his life and Was so sill, yer, a
the paramount issue was now Union O. disGnion
he would cordially support UNION DEMOCRAT
and would not be an obstacle in the way Of th'
success of such candidate. The discussion be
tween Harris and Skinner partook rather to<
much of personal asperity to comfort with ths
dignity which should characterize discussion
between candidates for the Office of COMPRESSION

The Fate of Hon, John r. Harris.

The "Vandicat0r' thinks that if Hon. John T.
Harris would only 'express willingness" to
submit his claims to Convention that he would
be good enough Democrat for that Journal to
support, but if he is too modest to "express such
a willingness" then all his qualifications for a
Representative in Congress vanish, for in that
event, the C Vindicator" says:
"We shall war upon him to the bitter end as
an enemy not only to Democracy, but traitor
to the best interests of the country, and false
to every impulse of patriotism, and honor"
What metamorphosis! "Behold what great
matter little fire kindleth." If we had the ear
of Mr.. Harris, rather than see him become a
etraitor to the best interests of the country, and
false to every impulse of patriotism and honor"
we would advise him to lay aside for the nonce
his characteristic modesty, and "express" that
Willingness" which would save his personal and
political character from such a change. Will he
become ''traitor to the best interests OF his
country, and false to every impulse of patriotism
and honor2 Nous Ve7vons

The "Vindicator," having changed the posi-
ton it occupied during the Presidential election
in favor of the Union to that of secession and
against the Union, has adopted the language OF
the secessionists, and charges the friends OF the
Union with being submissionists, and as it says
that Submission means Black Republicanism, "
lit, in this way, by arriving at direction by in
direction" charges all the friends of the Union,
including all good Union-loving Democrats, with
being Black Republicans. On the 4th of Feb

as fearing to trust the people in the manage
ment of their own business" though ''they are

They refused by vote of nearly three to one te

for that State. This is free Government with
