Well, sir, these patriotic Southern gentlemen, after a struggle of three weeks, suc- ceeded in defeating a Whig Speaker and a Whis: organization, and to that extent a Whig administra- tion. The Northern Whigs, particularly, were disappointed, mortified, and provoked ; but what did they do? Did they go to their Northern friends on the Democratic side of the House, and propose a Northern action to' sweep this offensive Southernisni from the House? No, sir, they submitted quietly. Well, what next?... Why, our Democratic friends had a Northern candidate for Clerk, whom they were very anxious to elect, and to which they were clearly entitled as against their Southern Demo- crats, who then had the Speaker, and they came very near electing him; when, all at once, the Southern Democracy became too patriotic longer to sMsLiiij a Northern man, and over they went, several of them, and voted fora Southern man, ' Whig though he was, and elected him ; not because they preferred a Whig, not because they were excessively attached to the individual, but because ha was a Southern man.
