Some weeks ago, we published the Prospectus of a paper, bearing the title of "the Examiner," proposed to be published in Washington city, by Dr. E. S. Davis, of South Carolina. We have not received a copy of this paper, but we learn that the first No. was issued on the 4th of July. It is generally understood that it will support Daniel Webster, as the successor of General Jackson.
In relation to the choice of a Speaker to the next Congress, 'the Examiner,' has already broken ground. -- Taking it for granted that Mr. Stevenson will not wish the appointment, (on the ground, we presume, that he will be sent to England as our Ambassador at that Court,) the Examiner recommends, for the office of Speaker, John Davis, Esq. of Massachusetts -- a gentleman "acknowledged on all hands to possess talents of the first order, a thorough knowledge of the rules of the House, and a temper naturally bland and conciliatory." -- We have ourselves heard a prominent Southern member of the last Congress speak in the warmest terms of the capacity and integrity of Mr. Davis
