To the Em lew or the Tnn.s : Sik : In you paper of the 1st Dccemlier, I see an article signed V A Whig," in which the writer attempts to exculpate those Whigs who nominated and voted for Mr. Busbee, for Principal Clerk of the House of Commons, and by which Mr. Wad- dell was defeated. Now, it is matt-r of very littlo consequence to the defeated party, how his defeat Was accomplished; but it is a matter of some im portance to those Wings, who voted for Waddell, that they should not be placed in the wrong ; and, for tins purpose, 1 propose to show from what A Whig says himself, that his statement is incor rect ; and that, in his zeal to vindicate prabably himself and the other 17 Whigs who voted for Busbee, he has contradicted himself. First : He says, (I; quote his langiKige,) " It had Ixsen agreed upon, without a dissenting voice, that Mr. Liltle john should le supported for the office of Chief Clerk of tlie House of Commons." Mark this mdeof the picture ! And then tho following j " Besides this, many of our Whig friends thought it was duo to the Democrats to give them a por tion of these offices, as parties were so closely di vided." Now if this wore the case, how comes it to pass tlrat " It Ind been agreed upon without a dissenting voice, that Mr. Utllejohn should be sup ported for the office of Chief Clerk of the House of Commons" 1 Here is an inconsistency too glaring to need comment and the writer of the article signed A Whig mast have forgotten thai lie Dad written the hrst sentence when he penned the lust. ,. Again : He nays " several members, I know, voted for Mr. Busbee, who would have pre- terred Waddell to all others ; but were taken by surprise ami displeased at hi nomination, under the circumstances before Spoken of." Well then, Ibis last must be'tlic reason of the vote giver, by Ihoso 18 Whigs who were fired by the application of Steele and not tlie concert of action beforo urged to concentrate upon Mr. Littlejohn, or tho thoughts of Whigs " that it was due to tho Demo crats to give them a portion of the offices." gain: A Whig, in saying " It bad been agreed upon without -a dissenting voice, that Mr. Little john should lie supported," Sic. is mistaken ; for, if this were true, how did it happen that 8 Whig upon the first ballot voted for Waddell ? and Lit tlejohn, the candidate without a dissenting voice-, got but 32 votes ? and ttpon the second ballot, this regular nominee " without a dissenting voice," re ceived but 14 votes? Tell this, to the Marines, Mr. Whig. Again : the Richmond Knight .as no1' excuse lor his move on the political chess board ; tor, as has been very properly remarked by your self, in a 'Editorial on this subject, Mr. Steele publishes a card showing the names of those ' Whigs who voted with hiin on the second b illot for Busbee hut does A otter any exctimt for the first ' vote he gave for Busbee himself being tol'ttm i and alone 1 Arncts.
