The speaHership of the Thirty.
EiRhth COnRHeRa,


Il Ia pretsy we'll settled that the character of
the next or Thirty eighth Federal House of
Representatives will be DemocFatic--thst the
majority of its members will be Democrats, in
conjunction and co operation with the CoDserva-
tiyes or Consiitutionslsts from the Border
States.
Toward this glorious result, Ohio hss con
tributed more In proportion than any other
State, with the exception OF gallant, noble, pat
riotic New Jersey, Ohio elected fourteen Dem
ocratic to FIVE Abolition membeFs; New JeEaey
four to one. But as the Jersey men had the
Speaker Of the last or Thirsy-sixth Congress,
and the Buckeyes have neper had the distinc.
ton, the former will not, we presume, present
a candidate for that position In thenext. tits,
besides, remarkable fact that In the Thirty
sixth or last, aud In the Thirty seventh or pres
ent Congress, Ohio had more Democratic Rep
resentatives than any other. Northern State.
These numerical considerations, which arc Of
primo Importance, give Ohio the frss place in
the Democratic delegations In the House. We
are proud, In addition, Of being able to say that
our Empire State Of the Northwest has, 10 her
Democratic Representatives, the talents and
other qualifications, consonant with their large
number, for occupying and holding the leading
position, to which We think she 10 justly and
fairly entitled. sisoi Af
Il Ie With good and sufaoient reason, there
fore. that the Democratic journals of Ohio are
urging the propriety and fitness Of choosing the
Speaker of the next or Thirty-eighth Congress
from the Ohio delegation. Two OF its members
are especially mentioned In this connection, by
their respective personal friends and advocates
Hon. Geo. H. Pendle.on. Of Cincinnati, and
Hon. Samuel g. Cox, Of Columbus. We have
the highest respect for each Of these distin.
euished gentlemen, and hope both Of them will
long be retained, and OCCUPY still higher posi-
lions Ia the councils Of tho General Govern.
ment. We shall make no ipyidloHs comparisoni
between them, which We should NOS know how

Hon. WILLIAM w. ARMsTRoNo, the Secretary
of State elect, made us call yesterday, and
reportedthe Democracy Of the Northwest all
right. This is his nsBs visit 60 Columbus since
the election--since be was so handsomely In
dorsed by the people OF Ohio, through the bal
lo.-box. Oar readers have not forgotten that
he is the able editor of the Tifin Advertiser,
which Ia power in the Ninth District, where
the gallant and accomplished NOBLE received
such splendid msjority for Congress.
Mr.. ARMaTRoNo Is making bis arrangements
to tske charge Of the cfice Of Secretary Of
Stats early in January. when his term will be-
gin. The entire people Of Ohio will then soon
recognize the selection as one eminently fit to
be mads-s fact appreciated by the DEMOCRACY
when they nominated him in 1861, and then
again in 1862. He will make an efficient and
faithful public officer, and will sdorn the posi-
tion he is called to occupy.

TIE following letter from Secretary SEWARD
to Minister ADAMS, under date Of November
I0th, 1862, and published with the other diplo.
matte correspondence recently submitted to
Congress, is Q document that Abolition editors
and Abolition s.umpers would do well to study.
It contains q well-deserved rebuke Of their
efforts during the late campaign to connect the
great Democratic movement with sympathy for
the rebellion. II Is Q complete vindication Of
the loyalty and patriotism Of the Democracy
and their coadjutors. The doctrine that We
have always held in regard to the Adminisirs.
ton and the Government, is also fully sustained
BY Mr.. sEwARD-as follows: "In this country,
especially, It is habit, not only entirely con.
sistent with the Constitution, but euen essential
to ls stability, to regard the Administration, q.
any time existing, as distinct and separable
from she Government itself, and to canvass the
oceedings of the one Without the thought Of
d.soyalty to the other"

enemies Of the Union In Europe will next as

an alleged detection Of popular support of the
Goyernment at the elections recently held in

these elections in the forms adopted by the press
are calculated, though not deeigned, to give
plsusibility to this position. observe that
these reports classify the members of Congress:

Oppos.tion. Such classi6cations, though unfor
tunste, do less harm here, where all the circum

wax, and when the buds are little shrunk
and wrinkled. wrap each Of them up sepa,
rateiy in piece of paper, perfectly clean
and dry, and lock them up in dry box
