REPRESENTATIVE CARMACK, of Ten

REPRESENTATIVE CARMACK, OF len
nassee. made speech in the democra'-
10 caucus of the U. S. House of Repre-
ssntstiyes last Saturday, in which ne
said the result OF the next Presidential
contest would be determined by the
co,duct of the democrats in Congress.
II folly should distract, or cowardice
prevail among them, then their party is
foredoomed to defeat; but if wisdom
and prudence and courage shall gov
ern them, glorious victory will De
their just reward-or words to that Ell
feet. If what he said be true, and many
believs it is, the party to which MIR.
Carmack belongs is not in a very favor
ahls condition, for none of its members
in Con 1ress yesterday, not even MIR.
Carmack himself, opposed the motion
to refuse to slow Mr.. Roberts to be
sworn in, and that, too, though the
Constitution having fixed the quallhca-
lions of members of Congress, no addi-
tional qualifications can be rlghtfuliy
required, except by change 10 that
the highest law of the land, made in a
constitutional way. Now, whether
folly or cowardice be the cause OF their
failure to stand up in defense OF what,
if they have read the Constitution, they
must know is right, they can tell better
than anybody else. There is strong
suspicion, however, that it may be at
tributed to both, as the only reason as
signed by the republicans for their mo-
ton to exclude Mr.. Roberts, was the
precedent afforded by the case OF the
democrats who we're expelled from
Congress during the war between the
States, for holding the belief that gov.
ernment depends upon the consent OF
the governed, and that State had the
right. under the Constitution, to with
draw from the Union if her people
were so disposed. Democratic Con-
gressmen should know that they are no
wiser than their constituents; also that
it never hurts man, whether he be in
or out of Congress, to do what he con-
scientiously believes to be right.

FROM MANILA

a dispatch from Manila dated yester-
day Afternoon says: A courier who left
General Young at Candoh on Novem-
Der % reached place from which he
could telegraph Sunday night. Gen
eral Young reports that he captured a
letter dated November %, which said
that Aguinaldo was then at Cervsntes,
heading for Bokoc, and that General
Tinio, WITH 600 insurgents, was en-
trenched between Vlgan and Bangued.
Cervantes is about thirty miles north of
Vigan.
General Young thinks that Aguin-
aldo is trying to take his American aud
Spanish prisoners into the Csgayan
Valley, but the insurgents may try TO
seek the northern coast of Liano. Gen.
Young. with troop of the Third cav
airy and battalion of the Thirty -third
infantry, ia going into the mountains to
cut off General Tinio's retreat.
General Wilder, with his Macabebes,
is pushing on to Csrvantes, and Major
SWigert, with two troops of cavalry, is
patrollng the coast between San Este
ban and Vigan. The Macabebes have
established line from Namagpaenn
east to the mountains TO prevent the
insurgents' retreat, Aguinaldo's escape
now seems impossible.
General Young's advance has been q
CONTIGUOUS ovation, and his reception
by the natives has been like that &C.
corded American troops in Porto Rico.
Bands have turned out to welcome him
and the crowds have cheered him and
his troops. The insurgents, when leav-
ing Tagudin, burned the bridge. When
the Americans arrived the Inhabitants
of the town had rats ready for their
use. The country ia rich, and the
troops are we'll supplied with provisions.
