Corrc&poniloiiao of the Columbia Telegraph. 1 Washington, Deo. 12, 1819. ; A scene was presented to-d iy in the House of Representatives, whichniust be ; humiliating and mortifying lo?f|pfcry pa- j triot. The Southern Democrats, after ! A* A ? ' ?' - * inuireciuai nanotings lor seven clays, and despairing of electing n Southern man to the Speakership, thought they had discovered a Northern man whom they could trust, in W. J. Brown of Indiana. Every inquiry was made as to his for- j n1cr courso, nnd as to his present opinions on the question of paramount importance t6 the South; and the result only tended c.? < > t<> uvmiiii in muir udiiiuiuiico id iuh honesty | and sound nels on the slavery question. This w&s the condition of things this j morning when the Mouse assembled, and ! on the tjrst ballot Mv 15 row a received 112, which would have been votes, sufficient to j elect him, being a majority of the vote^i given?but Mr. Wallace of South Carolina, having received some intimation during the progress of the bal oting that all ; woa not right and fair, voted against him, ' and informed two other gentlen^en of his i iciirs, yv.no ijkcwisg voted against him, and fortuijalcly for the $oul!i defeated his i election, immediately after I lie announcement1 of the ballot Jjy the Ulerli, it came to light that a corre-;nondeace had taken place t?etween lifr Ifilmot and Drown, in which Brown h;vd pledged himself to constitute the committees 011 the District of Colnm bin, the Judiciary, and Territories, of such members us would he entirely satisfactory to Wilmotand lnsfriehds. This pledge was mauc when Brown knew that his Iriendn wero reoomniondinpf him totho South as opposed .to the Wilmot Proviso, and in every way houiuI up on tho slavery quest ion?-and ho positively nsserted to Southern Democrat*, af- ; tor this totter was written, that he had I 'wwl.. - '1 It .1 in iuu uy jjigugcm uj me worm or the h'rcc Rollers?thus uuuir.g falsehood to trenchery. Hrownmndcft speech attempting to extricnte himself from tho difficulty in which lie wn9 involved, but oppressed with the consciousness nf detected trench cry, lie only more inextricably entangled himself?ho concluded his speech by .withdrawing hi* name from before the tlousc as a candidate for the Speakership.
