EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY: THE WEEKLY STAR issued to-day, is, as usual, filled with matters of interest to the politicians, the lovers of literature, and to all classes who want to know recent events of a public character in both the new and the old world. Price, $1.25 a year, or three cents a single number SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Union thinks that the New York Eveu- sag Post—in proclaiming the question of the repression of slavery entirely within the limits of the States in which it exists, and its entire exclusion from all ae true issue of the day—has hit the right nafi on the head. The zame paper, while taking occasion to shower compliments on Mr. Dallas, condemns earnestly the course of the New Orleans Delta— a paper favering Mr. D.’s nomination for the Presidency—in chargin g Mr. Buchanan with being about to make an electioneering tour through the Southern and Southwestern States. ‘The editor says that if Mr. B. designs making any such journey on his return home, it will be undertaken with no such end in view. The Iutelligencer republishes the New York Evening Post's history of “the Monroe decla- ration,’’ and adds : “It may be remarked, in conclusion, that there never has been a specific recognition of the Monroe doctrine on the part of either branch of Congress. There haz been, in fact, no positive necessity for such recognition; and ie simple recommendation of tho President, though repeated by him and endorsed 4 stb- sequent Presidents, can scarcely be taken estublishing a ‘‘policy’’ on the part of this Government. But the people themselves have given it a tacit acquiescence, notwithstanding the indirect negation of it in the rejection of the 'anama Miss That there ever will be * necessity fora more formal recognition of the doctrine is but a matter of conjecture.’’ WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. The Speakership.—The stock of Mr. Henry M. Fuller, of Pa., for the Speakership. is evi- dently rising just now. The knowing ones among the opposition are turning their atten- tion to his prospects with unfeigned solicitude. It is in our judgment, reduced to an abse- lute certainty that neither Mr. Campbell of Obic, Mr. Pennington of New Jersey, nor Mr. Haven of New York, can probably be elected. Noris there the slightest probability that Mr. Etheridge of Tennessee can triumph. We have counted nes>s and analysed the po- sition of members, the interests they are in, and the circumstances at home by which they are likely to be governed in concluding for whom to vote, and have come to a conclusion with reference to all these gentlemen, which we find to be identical with that of the oppo- sition long heads to whom we refer above. We knew, therefore, that we cannot be far out of the way in declaring that those we name above as being unlikely, either of them, to be chosen, cannot win the Speakership. Mr. Campbell's vote will commence highest of them all, snd will continue to be eo until he is abandoned to make a concentration proba- bly on Mr. Fuller, and possibly on Mr. Pen- nington, or Mr. Meacham. Soms of the Southern Knew Nothings con- tinue to indulge the foolish hope that the Demecerats will coalesce with them in choosing the officers of the House, supporting Southern Know Nothings in part, in return for their votes for the Democratic candidate for the Speakership, whoever that may eventually prove tobe. In this hope they are childish. Not a Democratic member will vote for one of them under any ecomwbinaticn of circumstances whatever. Notwithstanding Mr. Fuller of Pennsylva- nia is the right-hand man of Ex-Governor Jobusen at home, the latter being Senator Seward’s Pennsylvania finger, and nothing more politically, if the Southern Kaow Noth- ings want to vote in the end for theman who can be elected, they mustthen vote for Mr. Fuller, or for some straight out Democratic member. Tosuch complexion do things bid fair, just now, to come at last. The Hon. John Y. Mason —We are not a little amused with the propensity of the Cou- rier and Enquirer of New York city to get up 8 case against the administration upon every passing occasion, as illustrated in its indirect comments on what we have said of late con- cerning the health of our minister at Paris. That journal discovers in our remarks a pli of the kiteben cabinet to get Mr. Mason out of office, and attributes it tothe dispocition of the admimtctration to compel him to resign. We are heartily tired of denying the soft impeach- ment of “orgenship’’—heartily tired of it. Yet we muat again declare that we write our own editorials, and in them express our own views only. In this case especially we hap- pen to know that our own views are directly counter to those with reference to Mr, Mason’s physical condition, entertained by members of the administration and expressed to more than one gentleman in commenting on what we have taken occasion to say It matters little to us, however, what any one else may thivk in the premises. Wo are here to teli the world the truth concerning public men and public affairs, and in the dis- harge of that duty have not hesitated to de. ciare that we place little reliance, indeed, in accounts saying that Mr. Mason has entirely recovered his physical strength ; because no wnan at 56 years of age ever yet entirely re- covered from a stroke of paralysis, which had rendered him almost as helpless as a child for months, and which, for perhaps a yoar, diz- abled bim from cutting up his own dinner, and forced him to avail himeelf of artificial means ef locomotion. We have no doubt that Mr. M. is much stronger than he has been, and would rejoice if we couid believe that ho had entirely recovered. But phys'cal, and more especially invariable physical facts, are stub- born things, not to be argued out of the mind of one who kmows as much of the history and character of paralysis as we do. Labor or mental excitement is the bane of one affected with it. Though bright in the morning, by noon, if the patient has been excited, his strength begins to flag, and lassitude or weari- ness of all the faculties surely comes on in the evening. We are curious to know why it ie that the Courier is so nervously avxious to make Mr. M. « wholly recovered man. Since be was attacked with paralysis, there has, fortanate- ly, been no question in issue between this Government and France, to the proper settle- ment of which Mr. M_ has not been competent when it was necessary to take it in hand. And now that he has gained much more pirength of late, while our relations with France have not become more complicated and exacting on his physical capacities, we presume there can be no question whatever as to his continued fitness for his present po- sition. There is no gentleman in public lif» for whom we entertain kinder sentiments than Mr. John ¥. Mason. Yet we are constrained to continue sceptical as to the reality of his entire recovery from paralysis; becauso that is an event unknown to the history of the science of medicine. Slightly Irascible.—If there be truth in the adage that ‘‘straws show which way the wind blows,’’ our readers will conclude from the following kind, affectionate, moderate, and good tempered “billy-ducks,” (with which we were favored this morning by the hands ofsome stranger tour,in habiliments reminding us strongly of the genus office-seeker, with hopes deferred, about six months after the inaugu- ration of a new President,) that it is begin- ning to be shrewdly suspected around the office of the Know Nothing paper published in this city, that no considerable number of the mem- bers of the new House will touch any one sus- pected of identity with it, in voting for officers, with a forty-foot pole. Though this fact has long been well known to all who, possessing common sense, are fa- miliar with the political history of that con- cern and the little batch of funny political aspirants who hoped to clutch something in the way of spoils through identification with it, up to very recently éhey had not taken the just estimate of their own political merits so universally entertained even by their own party in this city. We need hardly add, that had the writer of this note couched it in language that would admit of a reply, it would have afforded us pleasure to tell him whether the cap he has rushed forward so eagerly to wear, of right, as it were, becomes his physiognomy. Wasuinatoy, Nov. 23, 1855, To the Editor of the Evening Star: Sin: I observe in the Evening Star of thie date the following paragraph : “Nataan SarGent, Esg.—We hear that this gentleman, who has been so often spoken of in connection with the Clerkship of the House in Lore years, has beeu adopied for Clerk by the ittle clique who are represented iu the man- agement of the Know Nothing newspaper in this city. We are iuformed, also, that John Wilson, Eeq., of this city, ex-Commissioner of the Generat Land Office, and whilom a can- didate for the Clerksbip, declines in Mr. Sar- gent’s favor. We have not heard whether Mr. Robert W. Latham, late of the firm of Selden, Withers & Co., of this city, also waives his claims to that position in Mr. Sargent’s favor. “In view ef the fact that Mr. Sargent has been tamding quasi-anti-slavery candidate for House offices for many years past, and al- ways the recipient of very few votes, however brilliant his “show’’ may have been before the ballotings began, we do not apprehend that he will be elected to the Clerkship of the next House by a very large majority.’ I desire to know to whom you allude by the words, “ the little clique who are represented in the management of the Kuow Nothing newspaper in this city’’’ If you allude to me, or to any person directly er indirectly conuected with me in the management of this paper, 1 prenounce the statement a base, ma- ligious, and infamous falsehood, and demand of you an immediate and unconditional re- traction of the whole statement. Yours, &c., 8. C. Busey The Abolition Know Nothings —The Gon- vention of Northern Know Nothings recently i ion at Cincinnati, teok no action from which may be drawn the conclusion that there is the least prospect of future unity of purpose between thore whom they represent and the Know Nothing party of the South They were exclusively delegates from the pertion of the party who reject the Philadel phia platform on account of its twelfth seo- tion, and in all their resolutions and speeches scouted the idea of changing the attitude on their slavery quee'ion, the assumption of which at Philadelphia, caused the split that occurred there. The telegraph told us yesterday, that ex-Gov. John Jobnson, of Pennsylvania, made a strong national speech, after which the Coun- cil or Convention adjourned sine die. Now, all the world know that Mr. J. holds doctrines upon the slavery question as effectively antag- onistic to the constitutional rights of the South, as those of Mr. Seward himself, and the idea that, holding such views, he could make what the Southern Kuow Nothings even, will regard as @ national speech, is preposterous. He is opposed to the execution of the slave law, {o the repeal of the Missouri restriction, and to the ad ion of avother slave helding State into the confederacy under any cireurnstanees whatever, and so are all who acted with him on that oceasion. So his nationality, and theirs, will never set the Potomac on firs by its intensity. In truth, the constituents of a lof them are members of the new Republican party, who keep up nominal Know Nothing lodges only the better to enable them to be- devil the simon-pure Hindoos in their several localities. In New York they go by the sou- briquet ef Choctaws or Seward Know Noth- ings. dhe Vacant Brigadier Generalship —The question of filling the pozt of Brigadier Gene- ral inthe United States Army, made yacant by the resignation of Goneral Hitchcock, is exciting great interest in this city just at this time. We understand that friends of General Jo. Lane, of Uregon, have presented his name to the President for the position. Of course it is impossible to know whether it will bedeomed advisable, under existing circumstances, to go beyond the army itself in making the ap- peiniment. If so, we think ithighly probable that Gencral Lane will be the man, as while he earned at least as high a military reputa- tion as any officer whatever who served in the Mexican war, save and except Generuls Scott and Taylor, he has subsequently been looked to as the chief defense of the Indian frontiers of Oregon and Washington Territories, though out of the service. If, as itis said, the new General will be sent to that military depart- ment, we shall by no means be surprised to hear that General L. is selocted. Certainly no other choice will be hailed more gratefully by the country, from Maine to Oregon. There are, of course, many considerations to which due weight must be accorded ix fill- ing this important post, of which we, as the rest of the public, must be ignorant. If they do not make it prudent for the President to select some one else, we trust, for the sake of | j the people of two far western territories, that he may thus again be called into the regular military service of the Government. Mr. Consul Barclay, the Bark Maury and Ourself.—Mr. Consul Barclay indig- nantly denies our soft impeachment, that on his foolish or sinister “splurge’ about the bark Maury, the British ministry founded their ef- fort to smother the affair of the violation of our neutrality laws by English officials, through the greater muss to be stirred up by sending over hither, the 400-gun fleet. Mr. Consul Barclay is so very much enraged with us as Seriously to threaten to burst off his sus- pender buttons, in the letter to the New York press, wherein he avers, in ofder to disprove our allegation, that he neither wrote nor sent a line to Lord Clarenden on the subject. But Mr. Consul Barclay does not aver that he did not communicate his bogus discoveries to Mr. Crampton, on the instant he pretended to have made them; nor that Mr. Crampton did not as promptly send them over to the English Foreign Office. Indeed, in Mr. Consul Bar- clay’s affidavit on the subject, published in the New York papers of Tuesday last, an admission is clearly made that this bogus in- formation was thus promptly forwarded to Mr. Crampton, whose business it was—not Consul Barelay’s—to transmit it direct to headquarters in London. Mr. Consul Barclay denounces quite as in- dignantly our allegation that he probably got up the bark Maury roorback to hide his own complicity with the violation of our neutrality law. The amount of virtuous indignation which he manifests at the charge we thus lay at his door, might be worth something as a point in the case, but for a fact which Mr Consul Barclay is exceedingly careful to keep out of view, viz: that if not Mr. Consul Bar- clay in propria persona, Mr. Consul Barolay’s man Friday—his Secretary, Mr. Stanley—is now actually under indictment for i2s share (which we may reasonably denominate Mr. Consul Barclay’s share) of the efforts of Messrs. Crampton, Le Marchant, Howe & Co., to set the laws of this land at defiance! Three Stars Star-gazing.—A correspondent of the National Intelligencer, commenting upon the Union’s reiteration of the fact which we had previously made plain—viz : that “J: now appears that the affair of the Maury is the sole pretext of all the war panic which now agitates England’’—says, that while the British consul at New York ‘‘made his sup- posed discovery on the 10th day of October,” ‘the article intho London Times, announe- ing the naval arrangement, was printed on the éwelfth day of Ozstober;’’ and therefrom concludes that the allegation of the pretext above mentioned, must be incorrect. There must be something wrong ia the spec- tacles with which Mr. *4* reads dates at tho heads of newspapers; or with ours. All the newspapers that quoted tho article from the Temes credited it, as we did, to that journal of thetwenty-fi/th of October—not of the twelfth. We have the T¥mes open before us containing the article in question, and no amount of wiping that we can give our glasses enables us to trauslate as the 12th, the figures at its head, which, through them, designate the 25th of Octeber as the day on which the par- ticular number of the Times was issued. Wipe} your spectacles, Mr. *,*, and take ar- other look at the date—which you will per- ceive knocks the foundation completely from under your argument. Walker and his Men.—We have seon a private letter from a member of Walker’s fil- libustering force in Nicaragua, bearing the latest date from quarter, wherein the writer says that though victory has crowned their arms, they find it the bardest job conceivable to obtain the wherewithal to satisfy their stomachs For some days before the letter in question was written, they had been re- duced to the necessity of living wholly on plantains, which are anything but food suited to keep up in the systems of troops, the pecu- liar view of fillibustering Americans. The writer seemed to be of impression that plan- tains, and nothing but plantains, would soon reduce them go in flesh and spirits, as that a live Yankee would not be more than half a match for an ordinary native; as the latter can stand the vegetable diet through habit. Revenue Marine Officers Ordered.—Second Lieut. James D. Usher has been ordered to cutter Dobbin, on the Wilmington, N.C., sta- tion, and detached from the Robert McClel* land, on the Mobile station, Second Lieut. Jno. M. Nones has been de tached from the Dobbin, and ordered to the cutter Forward, at Wilmivgton, Del. Second Lieut. B. J.
