The Boutherners insist that, inasmuch 88 the party policy will provent the placing of a Southiern man on the national ticket eltlier as Presideut or Vice- President, they at least are catitled to the Bpeakerabip, but it is eald to-night that thero| are five Northiern Democrats who uuder no clr-, cumetances would consent to vote for Bla burn, or for auy other south of Mason and Dix- on's line. ‘woat least of “the-fivo'have futf~ mated that ¢ 3 SUCH WILL DE THEIN PURPOSE, and it Is not even certain that they will attend the caucus if it should apper probable that Diackbury would earry it.

CHANGRS OF EIGHTBEN YEARS. Hpeciat Disvateh to The Tribune, Wasiinotoy, D, C., Mareh 6.—Eighteen years azo—It wason the 4th of March, 1561— the Democratie party found itselt no longer in amalortty {n the United States Senate, nud the Republicans assumed the’control of that body. Among those Senators whose terms then ex- pired were Seward, of New York, who was the nuxt day nade Lincoln's Sccretary of State, and the veteran John J. Crittenden, who in o touching farewell coeech warned his brother Senutors of the coming storin, and urged them to ndopt some neasure, *not of compromise, but of polley,’ which should briug peace to the country, and make all once agaln the brethren of one common family, ] Of the forty-clght Senators who were present on the 4th of March, 1861, twenty-one are no riore, THR NAMES OF THE DRFARTED are Sumuer aud Wilson, of Massachusetis; ‘Wade and Chasge, of Ohio} Collamer and Fout, of Vermont; Rennedy aud Pearce, of Mary- Land; Hale, of New IHamopshire; King and Harris, of New York; Dourlas, of Illinols; Fessenden, of Maine; Johuson, of Tennessee} Haker, of Orcgon: Powell, of Kentuckys Bay- ard, of Delaware; Simmony, of Rhode Island ‘Thompson, of New Jersey; Grimes, of Towaj und Durkee, of Wisconsin, Some of these Benntora exercieed a poweriul Influence over the War legislation of the Rebelllon. Oug became President, another Vice-President, another Clilef Justice, and -another was shot down In action, dying that the Republic might live. ONLY ONE BENATOR who answered to bis name on the 4th of March, 1561, has been a continuous member of the body, and thut Is Anthony, of Rhode lsland, for whom ecxemptlons of aoge scem a supecrerogation, and who is destined to fmpart & courtcous uselulncss to coming Seuntes. Iannibal Hamiin had been o Scnator, but he hnd resigned: hie seat on the Tth, that he might serve as Vice-President from 1601 until 1805. Ile was agaln clected to the Scnate In 1806, and was re-elected in 1807, Chandler, of Michlzan, was olso oue of the Ite- publicans who took possession of the Scuate Chamber ju 1801, but he 1eft it in 1675, and bLas only recently returned, Ilowe, of Wisconsin, was aworn in on the 4sh of March, 1861, and his term of service ended at hleh 12 Tuesday, Uther gentlemen who have been members of the Senate during the Republican ascendaucy are YET ALIVE IN THE PLESH, but nro gradually ylelding to the benumbing in- fluences of nze or disuppolntéd ambition, while o fow bave changed their politivs, and are ranked with their former opponents. ‘The history of the ascendancy of Republlean rule {n the Seoate will form an fmportant chap- ter fo the pdlitical annals of the Republic. A grreat rabelllon has been conquered, slavery lias been abollshed, the natiovel financta) honor has beon majutained, a rallvond crosses the contf- nent, and therc bas been aslmultancous Increase of population and prosperity, Now the Ropublican Scuntors, after having been in the majority for clehteen years, are to tako back-scats, and the Democrats wiil again come to the front.

It 18 pleasant to remember that such statesmen, still in the full vigor of thelr Intellect, are not to bo excluded from the National councils, but that thelr mature judg- ments, untiring enerey, and intellectuul activity will not oniy be felt in the minority of the 8en- ate, but will bo dpvated to the restoration of the Republican party to its former ascendancy, BACKING DOWN.
