Mm. EDrroa. - If I were to indite all the ru:
more Passing froth 'Mouth to Mouth about the
SPeakership, about probable candidates and
:probable changes of votes, My, letter would 'be
Swelled far beyond its proper litifiti..• It .be
cornei me, : therefore., to note aCtual facts and
possibilities• not 'at all remote. • • ' • „ •
.. The most likely possibility is; the of
'Mr; Pennington, of NeW Jersey, on the first Or
second ballot to-day. •He might. have been
'elected•on the second ballot yesterday had -not
the.Dernociats postponed the vote with the •un
ileritandinithal:•the House shOuld be called and.
the :vote taken this morning. , The Black Re
publicans wheeled into the support of their new
candidate with remarkable alacrity,. though . ' it•
cost them some pangs Of pride to deSert their
great radical Helper leadet,''whom the . ). were
i .pledged to 'support "to the 'crock of doom."
He yielded.gracefUllY himself, but Mr. Briggs
refused to perform his'allotted part of .the play,
'and, casting' hie 'vote for Mr. .McClern'and,
.caused` also the' change. of. Mr. Briggs' vote
from Mr. Beonington to 'Mr. McCl.errind.
The Democratic members of the:House,,after
their almbst unanimbus'support of Mr., :Smith,
an old-line Whig have determined in caucus to
Cast their .vote for John A. McClernand, of Il
linois: 'But the hope'of electing him was
slightly. daMiened by the short speech of Mr.
Hill, of Georgia, who contended that,. because
the SOuth Americans'vvere not consulted in his
seleation ^na sttmdard-bearer, they were not
bound in honor to:puma him.' ,He , gave also
another , reason unworthy conclusion,
which influenced him individually, that he was
4s- Popular , anyerelgnty Democrat, and, being
Pxtrarriely unacceptable to Southern men.

• . Mimic/is; The political condition of the ped
ple 'of. our common country at this eventful pe
riod would seem to 'demand . a full,and faithful
expression of our opinion. 'on the 'great. politi•
icalissues ••of •the day, in order. that • all.ma•')T
uriderstand the, position of each •paitisan, ale
rnent of which our constitutional,, fahricis tom-.
posed,
s to the' end that a' candid Ilublic may die-
passionately judge between them and tau
ly decide for the right; therefore,- 7
/UroloSnl, let. That the` Democratic. Central
1 1 Club of MlKean Connty.assert tha unalterable
attachment and deVotio'n to the Union of these
United• States rife chief earner stone . upon
which our free institution :. resti, firmly helie

Moved,- Our time-honk:red, blood-ceMeeted, and
•
.World;renowned political edifice must fall; and .
in its fall crush out the
.last;expiring•.ray of .
hope' in thePrinciples'that a free: people iire'ea
•pahle it government, We. therefore' re -assert,
that as a nation,•we are on people,, with one
Union, and. have •6
- . 'common destiny.
rl•
2d. That the tieveral States of the Union in
their Indio/dr/cii capaiity as parties to out,Con
stittitional - cornpacc are .eov.ereign and .inde
pendent,-and solengas each confiriea•its action
legitimately to the , control of its own' institu
tions, without in any Way inter fering . with the
domestic Or other polity of sister States, there
can be no' possible danger of , a collision 'be
tweeir them; • and We believe . it .to be 'the sacred
duty of 'each arid every State so .to•conduct its
policy, to the.end that our bond.of union shall
be and remain peaCeful and perpetual.
3d. That in our Opinion the 'constant agita
tion: of the. Slave Question, kf;pt: 'np . by. the ari
ti-slavery party of the Northern: . Statea, - is
greatly detrimental sto.the best , interests, the
peace and harinonY of .this great and growing
ltimily of, States.. We truly, believe it is a
question With Which .the people of. the North
have nothing to ,do, and if that; question were
left out of the PreSidential issue, or overshad,
owed by real questions of truly National
portunce, and be decided in Accordance with a
fair construction of the Kansas-Nebraska Act,
permiting the people of each Territory, ivhen
they . come to adopt a Constitution for. them
selves, to decide whether they will : reject or
admit of Slavery in the New. State;" National
harmony might once more be restored.
4th. That in otir opinion the present and
past action of thesleaders and ihepressiof the
Republican party:is sectional and aggressive to
ward the States of the south; that such action
contra rile the compromises of the Federal
Constitution, and if persisted in must inevit
ably 'result in the disruption otpur National
compact, as . fno family of States can,live inshar
monywhile the' nein of•ti portion of the family
are deadly hostile to :the settled policy and
long T settled institutions of the others. •
sth: That while we cheerfully .concede that
a large portion of , the.Republic'an party are ac
tuated in their hostility to slavery by. feelings
of what they .believe to bathe beitprinciples
of ,philanthro6 , ,' in
.sympathiiing with the
negro tece; yet we must say that, we sincerely
believe •it. is 'a Niztaken and viisplaced sympathy,
in attempting to henellt the colored ; race at the
cost of disunion,.and at the' more fearful coat
of the blood amlthe 'atter desolation 'of our
Southerit white hieti:Ven; against whom the
teachers of the Reptibliciri creed seek:te inflame
the passions' and. prejudices , of their . iectientil
(*deride': .We atilt them to itop, and first esti
mate 'the.priceless vatic, of Our Federel Union
to ourselves and to the civilized Rations
_of the
. .
world; let them reflect that the eyes of Christ
'eridom ere . .upon us iis'the first great 'praOtical
eiponent.'of the prlpciple of self-government,
under fret) institutions, and then. consider what
the .fid'ave, his '.uneducated, unenlightened'
. and aloth-loving conditioliwould gain, if, eman-
CiPated,. and'•alik .themielves., the ~evory-dity
questionv"will it payr'.
. .
• pith. we look upon the attempted
.in
surrectiOn of John Brown, it .11arper'e . Ferry,
whatever'!Malys& of philanthropy may
huire been, as none other' than the deliberate
acts, of:e traOor Constitution and, to the .
.hest- interOsts of.the country. that gave him
birth. If, those who sympathize' With his trai
torous ciniduct ohonse to make* a pilgrimage to.
North Elba,. we, trust ..they will not, by : their
incendiary teachings, so. fait' incense our . biehreo,
of . the South as to. induccthem to erect absr
'rier between the North and South,•gothat thir
friends cd - the Constitution and Union will not be
permitted to visit the tdrnb.of INT#I3IIINGITON, at
Moira •Vernon.. . • . • .
7th. That we have the charity to •believe
that Bute portion of theltepublican.partY do
not • sympathize with the :John ..Brown mcivs
rientv burwe do believe that the Speeches and
writings' of the . Ultra Abolitionists of • the
North; would legitimately reedit in ':producing
such inciendiary outbreaks; und we would re
joics; for the interests of Our bsloVed coUntry„
if conservative end thinking Reptiblicane would.
not 'affiliate with, but separate• themselves•
from such revolutionary'fanatics ; and truly aid
in restoring' peace to our distracted country..
Bth, That 'while we cannot sympitthize.wiih
he pr*ripfive notione of 'the so-called Amer
ican party, - . in - their. 'hostility to foreign emi
grants,.ryet we do , sympathize .with and
commend .th!m for their love lif-the Union • and
hestiliti to ',the ultra doctrine of the Anti
slavery party. : . •
.That we sympathlze - with our -breth
re's of .the South 'in ,resisting the aggreisive
spirit of northern fanaticism swhich has been
turned againit them •and their institutions, at
the same time we ask...of Ahem to rebuke the
00-hasty'spirit of disunion which 'some' o
their over-senstive partizans have promulgated,
and' in the. fanguage of one of our . ex-Presi
dents, etawait the sober-seiond thought of the
people;" who will; we firmly. believe, finally
do theth.even-handecl justice.. • "
10th. Thrit we' consider the Territories
_of
'the United States the Common *party of the
pOople thereof. • The people of the South hay
ing equial rights with the people'of the North,
to settle therein and Carry with them. any prop . -
erty.they may choose, and retain the Same un
der theprotection of the Cmiititution and laws
of
: the United States. • .
llth. That , we are opposed to the re•opening •
of 'the African% Slave trade, because its prohi:.
.bition was one of the compiomisea of. the Con:
stittition, and because such inhibition is in ac
cordance with the best dictates of humanity.
12th: That a Congressional Stave •Code` for.
the• Territories; whether Constitutional or not,
would not beaceeptable to the great mass o
• 13th. That the . faithful execution of the Fu=
gitive Slave Law shoUld be honestly carried
out by the States' and people. of the North, and
that to the'-unfriendly action of sorne'of the
Northern State Legislatures and•the great body
of the piiiti-§iavery party is mainly to be at-

ern men toward the Northern peoPle, and their

are not More respected, to carry out their doe;

14th. • That we sincerely beliF;ve. that the

is by cultivating a conciliatory. and conserva
