Then the Marine Band, (which, by-the-way, performed remarkably well,) struck up ‘‘ Yankee Doodle,’’ the well known signal for departure. ‘‘Wrappings’’ and“‘gum- shoes’’ were soon in demand, and as the faire> portion of the guests were leaving, there seemed to be a universal sentiment of satis- faction with what was then among the things past—the second reception of 1856. The Caucus of 1849 controversy.—The controversy that occurred yesterday in the House hall created intense excitement; ex- citement so intense that at one moment we were under serious apprehensions that it would give rise to vielence on the floor. It was clear that many members were of the same impression, as they came forward and] ‘Tho Political and Social Equality of the SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS The Intelligencer, evidently as though heart-siek over the unpardonable state of things in the House, announces the fact that no pro- gress was made yesterday towards effecting an organization. The Union holds the Republican party re- sponsible for tke continued disorganization of the House, saying of yesterday’s proceed- ings : “ The responsibility for the continued disor- ganization of the House was fastened upon the republican or anti-Nebraska majority in a manner so conclusive as to have compelled the opposition to a variety of expedients to ward the arguments of the democrats. It was not only established that the anti-Nebraska majority cculd have elected Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, or any other anti-Nebraska man, save and except Mr. Banks, on Wednesday last, but that on most of the other ballots Mr. Banks himeelf could have been elected had the anti- Nebraska vote been united upon him. This vote is the majority of the House, and the democrats the minorty.”” The Union makes the following important announcement with reference to our relations States, whereby an individual, standing as French does on the records of Congress, should be received as a foreign Minister at Washing- ton; thus officially placing all the many worthy gentlemen, who represent foreign powers here, on a social footing or level with him. We therefore feel assured that even though Walkers government, by maintaining itself in power in Nicaragua, may eventually be necessarily ‘“‘recegnized’’ by that of the United States, it is utterly impossible that this Mr French can be ‘‘received’’ here as its diplo- matic representative. The moral perceptions and sensiblities of public opinion have, of late years, we know, been becoming blunter and more obtuse, day by day. But American public opinion has not yet arrived at that condition of moral obfuscation that would justify French’s reception by the authorities here, evenif they were so inclined; which lat- ter contingency, as a matter of course, is among things that are impossible.
