Mr. Hunter, (the Speaker elect ot the House of Reprcseutaiive,) is said U be no Party man. We jerceive that both sides lay some claim to him. It appears that the Whig members, to a roan Voted for him ; and a great portion of the Van party against him. We have some reason, however, topresume that the revh in generally satisfactory. If Mr. Hunter, by his candor and impartiality, has secured the. confidence of different parties, he is the very man to be placed f over tho deliberations of fhe House- Out if, on the contrary, he has sought, and piocured his election, by ronrcaling his real intention and holding out faiso pretences like one member, to our knowledge, crept into tongress,- then he deserves the same condeinnatirTn: that Fisher is receiving at the hands of bis hig constituents, who now sec him acting the part of a real Locofoco. He hasmadenospceohes; but we allude to his disorganizes votes on the New Jer sey question, and the ten votes he cave Dixon H. Lewis, (the cheif favorite of the Vans,) for Speaker. It wilt be per ceived however, that on the 1 1th and I? LiJ)Oyrnedw itb aJcwjithcr of his party, for Mr. Hunter. Perhaps he began to sec that he was carry ing ti e joke rather too far. The folowing paragraph, Irom the National Intelligencer, will probably aid the reader, in some small degree, in e timating the political complexion of the Speaker: THE ELECTION OF SPEAKER.
