Everybody acquainted with the subject
of the following paragraphs from the
the Missouri Democrat, can give them a
hearty endorsement The West is clear
ly entitled to the next Speaker of the
House of Representatives, and Mr.. Col
fax is just as clearly the man for the
place. The West is entitled to it, not
only because the last Speaker was from
the East, but because she has been tri-
umphantly successful in her part of the
work for the suppression of the rebellion.
As mark Of honor Indiana is fairly en-
titled to it, because, while she has been
prolific in sending soldiers, she has been
stinted in her allowance of officers. The
Democrat speaks on this point as fol-
lows

GOV. SeTmnur

Is regarded as the heir apparent of the
Democratic nomination for the next
Presidential race. All that he SAYS and
does, therefore, is of importance. His
success or failure as Governor will have
an important bearing as to his quali6ea-
tons for President We are willing tina:
the New York Herald, which did more
to make him Governor than any other
paper IN the State, shall announce the
merits of his administration. We give,
therefore, its opinion of Seymour as Coz
ernor, only adding that such a Governor
would make very poor President The
Herald says:
Our Albany correspondent assures MS
mat OoVernor Seymour came up to tho
Herald platform in his recent speech.
Ihls is very great mistake. Our COR
respondent must be very much muddled
about Seymour. He is nowhere near
our platform yet We drummed him ON
after great deal of trouble, in order to-
defeat Wadsworth; but as soon as we had
elected him he slid off our platform and
tumbled down into the mire with the AL
bany Regency. Since then he has been
equally distinguished for imbecility and
Verboslty. He can talk more without
saying anything and write more without
meaning anything than any other man
we know be might be pitted against
Seward for interminable correspondence
and against the inane and insane VII,
son, of Massachusetts, for silly, long
wlnded speeches. He showed his lack
OF executive ability by not filling up the
quota of New York by volunteers in less
than a month after the Consumption Act
was passed. This the clever executive
could easily have done, and so avoided
all trouble. He showed his lack of sense

Mr.. Walker was a Massachusetts, man, a
native of Haverhill, where his father, re-
tired sea captain, nov resides. In his char
acter was combined true couaage and indom-
table energy to degree have never seen
surpassed. He quailed at no danger however
appalling, but with the most undisturbed
GOODNESS surveyed the peril, decided as to the
best course Of conduct, aud then with all bis
energy acted.
In ls49, mere boy, he crossed the plains
to California. An account of the perils be
encountered, Of the hardships he endured, Of
his hair-bFeadth escapes from Indians, rob
bers, and the innumerable dangers Of the
overland route IN 1949, would form book
of the most thrilling adventures.
During The "reign Of terror" at San Fran
cisco, he acted a most prominent part and
to his determined and fearless conduct may
be attributed in no small degree the restora-
ton Of law and order.
Returning, he studied law in New York
city, completing his course at the Columbia
Law School; and was just entering upon a
lucrative practice and a promising profession
al career when the call ''to arms" resounded
throughout the country.
The crisis allowed no hesitation as to his
course-no naneuvering for position-but en-
terinO the Tr,1kR he plndOed n b;e corrfrV
his life, with patriotisGl not unworthy the
character Of a Warren. Already, for honor
able conduct, placed in the line Of promotion,
and bis life spared, no doubt he would have
achieved for himself a reputation, which for
noble conduct and heroic daring would have
been honorable alike to his country and the
struggle through which she is passing.
