The Union continues its argument with the Intelligencer upon tho recent refusal of three- fourths or four-fifths of the Democrats of the House to vote forsMr. Carlile’s resolution, electing the Hon. Wm. Smith, of Virginia. to ‘the Epeakership. Though the fact stated by the Union—that the ten Republicans who being present on the occasion refused to vote, would have voted against the resolution had there been the slightest probability that it could have received the support of the Demo- cratic party—is conclusive proof that it could not have triumphed even had it received the #upport of the forty-five Demoorats who voted against it, we cannot comprehend why the conductor of the Uxion refrains from stating nother important fact bearing on this oontro- versy, vis: that under no circumstances what- ever could the Democratic party of the House have have been induced to sustain that reso- lution ; preferring, as the mass of them did very properly, the election of any out and out opponent, to that of a gentleman who, in the ast Virginia canvass,—the most important State contest tothe fortunes of the Democratic party, from Maine to California, that ever occurred in the history of American politics— occupied the position of the Hon. Mr. Smith; and to a gentleman, too, who, though claim- ing affiliation with the Democratic party, re- pudiates distinctly and emphatically its plat" form on Know Nothingism, the great issue on which its approaching Presidential battle‘is to be fought throughout the South. *« That womankind had but one rosy mouth, To kiss them all at once from North to South.” Prominent among the fair ones was Mias | yesterday, as though by concert, they did F**h, daughter of the Senator from New | that in attempting to hound down an honora- York, whose distingue pink silk costume lent | ble gentleman, who was simply exercising a additional charms to her “‘ mild attemper’d | clear and undeniable right to raise a point of dignity.”’ Miss G@***#*r, ‘so lovely, yet so | order, for doing whieh, for their reputation’s sake, as members who know their duties, ob- serve the ordinary courtesies of legislative life stone had a bewitching delegate in Mies | and ect a proper value oh the legal and con- stitutional rights of their position, it would The Misses C#********r, from the same | be fortunate if they could offer the poor ex- eure that their senses were, for the time be- ing, stolen away by too free a resort to the some weeks since. arch, so full of mirth,’’ was a fine representa- tive of the Buckeye State, while the old Key- T***n, of Philadelphia, in becoming white. city of Brotherly Love, were much admired, as was Miss B***m, whose queen-like form, arrayed in a blue dross, was the “ observed of | ardent. “The spell of loveliness” tested upon the graceful Miss R*****1, of St. Louis, who was dressed in white, as was the raven-baired Miss W***#****n, who, like her illustrious relative, is ‘‘first in the hearts’ of many Virginians.

The Third Reception.—Last evening the Spacious “‘ state apartments”’ of the Executive Mansion, were again thrown open for the re- ception of visitors, and were again crowded with the talent, the beauty, and the fashion now in the National Metropolis. It wasbitter vold out of doors, the frozen snow ringing like steel ag the sleigh-runners glided over it, yet there was even a more numerous attendance than at the previous receptions. All classes came in search of their quotas of enjoyment, znd the brilliant scene will have a prominent place on the calendar of fashionable festivities —so soon, alas, to be closed by the inexorable matin-bellaof Lent. Dumvivamusvivandus! The ‘Auxiliary Guard,” under the direc- tion of Captain Birch, preserved admirable order among the carriages as they deposited their varied freights beneath the spacious por- tieo. Hats and wrappings were well cared for by the attentive attendants, under the direc- tion of Mr. Snow, and as the visitors left the dressing-room ex toi/ette, they heard the enli- vVening strains of the Marine Band.

The easy manner with which President Pierce enters into conversa- tion with a large proportion of those thus in- troduced, shows the vast stores of informaticn and the deep resources of thought he has at his command, and the facility with which he frees his mind from the complicated affairs of the Republic, to indulge in felicitous inter- couree with his fellow-citizens. Most of the visitors, after their passing in- terview with the President, paid their respects to Mrs. Pierce, who was surrounded by her Traces of her bereavement are legibly written on a countenance too in- genucus for concealment, yet a winning smile ever accompanies her welcoming words, as she receives those presented with that natural grace which increases the value of cordiality. Sidney Webster, Esq., the President's pri- vate secretary, was ubiquitous in his atten- tions to the many strangers present admit that these receptions, under his direo- tion, are far superior in tone and interest to the tumultuous crowds which, in formers years» gave the saloons of the White House an unen- Viable notoriety. Prominent among the Guests who remained near the President was the Secretary of War, ‘whose appearance will command attention and respect any where; and who received many congratulations on his election to the U. 8. Senate, by the Btate whose gallant Piflemen he bravely led at Beena Vista.

Mr. Stephens demanded a division of the uestion on these resolutions. Mr. Miller, of Ind , moved to lay them on the table; but in a few minutes he withdrew to his appointment to that position, no man in allthe non-slavebolding States hud made a clearer, more emphatic or more consistent re- cord_as an ardent and reliable supporter of all the constitutional rights of all sections of the Confederacy, than Wm. H. Reeder, of Penn- sylvania. His fall from that political posi- tion was simply the result of his fall from that of a man of stern integrity of purpose in | q the management of his trust as a public offi- cer. He knew well that it would never do for him to attempt to rely on the justice of his cause in the matters of which he was tried, found guilty, and removed from office. therefore he essayed to get up popular sym- pathy in his behalf by throwing himself, on the instant that he comprehended that his re- moval must necessarily follow a thorough in- vestigation of the charges made against him, ry impersonation of with a massive form, time-sil- countenance, which antique Jupiter. vered locks, and a marked bas almost the majesty He was accompanied by his Secre gation, Mr. Lumlcy.
