Marshal Selden officiated with characteristic urbanity in presenting the Visitors to the President, and was handsomely supported by Mr. Commis- sioner Blake. President Buchanan was looking in excellent health, and had a cordial word to say to all visitors, whether of high or low degree. Capt. Goddard was in attendance with his entire police force, and the arrangement by which the vast throng was filed through the reception Tooms without pressure added very materially to the enjoyment of all concerned. The Marine Band was present in full numbers and discoursed their usual quota of airs, patriotic and sentimen- tal, attracting a dense crowd to their immediate vicinity. The usual order of reception was main- tained to-day. The Foreign Ministers were re- ceived at eleven o'clock; the Judges of the Su- Preme Court at half-past eleven; the Ofilcers of the Army and Navy at a quarter to twelve; and the citizens generally at twelve o'clock. Long before the hour of twelve arrived, the outg side yates leading to the Executive Mansion were literally besieged by persons, who were constantly inquiring of those iu attendance, how long it would he before they could be admitted? and when, at the above-mentioned hour, the gates Were opened, there was a complete rush, each one seeming bent on reaching the Mansion before bis fellow. We noticed a large number of meinbers of Congress present, and many other distinguished personages. The reception terminated at two o'clock precisely. eo — A Looxtna-ctass ror THE REPUBLICANS.—The Philadelphia Erening Journal. one of the ablest 2s well as one of the most uncompromising anti- Democratic party papers in the Union, beseeches the Republican party to show its hand in the cur- rent crisis. In the course of its appeal it takes occasion to make a very plain talk. Its article demonstrates the fact that the conservative ele- ment in the Northern oppesition ranks is rapidly throwing off Its late lethargy, and rallying to the discharge of its duty of taking the abolition bull by the horns. Thus it holds a looking-giass up before the Republican party, as follows : You are suspected of being abolitionists in disguise. You say you are not. You indignantly putation. But how will you persuad= sensible and sober people to confide in your de- clarations while you denonnce Inectings in favor of suppressing agitation upon the slavery question and make uncompromising opposition to slavery, the cardinal article in yonr party creed? You hope to evade this charge by saying that you will not interfere with slavery In the States, ner sym- pathize with the John Browns who do But you do interfere with it by holding doctrines which encourage bolder and more zealous men, of your own way of thinking, to invade the institution within boundaries in which you would not dare to touch it with your hands, though you hate and plot against itin your hearts. But let us come nearer to your acknowledged confession of faith “You say you are not abolitionists. But you will not deny that you are banded together to pro- hibit, by posttive legis‘ation, whenever you can get the power to enact such a law, the further ex- tension of sla the Territories of the nation. Then we say that in this you are abolitionists. You would abolish slavery where. by the Consti- tution, as interpreted by the Supreme Court of the United States. it already exists, potentially and in contemplation of law, if notin fact. As ft om. mon property of the people of all the States, the slaveowner of the South may go with his domai property into the unorganized national with the citizen of the free St main there with bis. sl: until that of property is abolished by State legislation, when the people of the State come to determine, in their eapacity as members of a sovereign and full. fledged Commonwealth, their domestic institu- is manner Massachusetts, New York, a, and all the original thirteen States got rid of slavery ; and so must every existing or any future slave State relieve itself from the insti- tution «- But the Republican party, if we understand its doctrines, would antici pate this constitutional and peaceful mode of settling the question, by an arbitrary act of Congress, which would tell the people of all the South that they cannot and shall not co into any part of the unsettled territory of the nation, unless they will go there without a chief article of property, and that property, too, recognized #s such, unconditionally, by the Fed- eral Constitution. If this is not “abolition,” we should like to know what is. We can see no essential difference between a party which seeks to destroy the relation of master and slave where it already exists by the supreme law of the land and that’ party which would destroy it where it may yet exist, or be introduced, by the same law Hence w hardly discriminate between the i and the Republicans.” If there it is, im so far as its effect upon the ations of the States is concerned, between tweedle-dum and tweedle- ee THe Sreaxersuir —The close of the holidays, to-day, tinds the House apparently much further from an organization thin it was thought to be by any on the first Monday of lest mouth. The month's balloting bas proved the determination of the ifelper-book-piatform party to rest conte; with the election of none other than Mr. Sher- man—aeut Crser, ant nulws. it has also demon- strated that there are Democratic members in the House who will vote for 2o Southern opposition- ists under any circumstances—others of that party who will vote for no anti Lecempton Democrat; also that no Sonthern oppesitionist (with the ex- ception of Mr. Winter Davis) will vote for Mr. Sherman, and that some of the Southern opposi- tionists will vote for no one but one of their own organization; and, lastly, that the anti-Leco ny tonites who have not yet gone over to the Repub- licen party will vote for no one who can concen- trate nearly the whole Democrat'c and South American strength. The plain English ofall this is, that no one can possibly be elected Speaker by a majority vote As the rules now stand, a dozen menibers acting in combination may postpone a vote upon the pln- rality rule until the {th of March, 1561, when this model House of Representatives dies, by constl- tutional limitation. At the present Writing there are at least fifty members bent on defeating the design to get a vote on the plurality tule, to the extent of forever thus preventing the organization of the House witha Helper-book-platform-iman in the Speakership. Under such cirevmstances, with all parties thus bent on having their own way in the matter, and ho party strony enough to carry out its desires, it is clear that the solution of the present ditieulty is a matter as yet not within the compass of any man’s brain. There is no reason whatever. at present, to anti ipate that the Ist of February will find the contest in a more solvable condition— none whatever. In the meanwhile the condition of the House will continue to excite sectional strife thronghont the laud, stirring up more bad blood hourly. > SovtuerxN Commercial Inver cr — The Journal of Commerce of the Wth ult ays that the commercial eifect of the determination of the South to become as far as possible independent of the North for manufactured goods, is already being felt with disastrous effects there; the south- ern orders for ndrthern goods of various deacrip- tiens having so fallen off ss to have necersitated the discharge of large numbers of workmen here - tofore employed in manofieturing for southern markets. The blow so far bas fallen heavlest on New E ad. ‘The discharge of these workmen indicates an approaching general paralysis of manufacturing business there, which is working out its legitimate results on the business interests of all in whose midst those mannfactares are sit- uated. Thus, the Chelsea (Mass ) Herald reports dull tines there, “the best carpenters being glad to get work at #125 per day, aud good workmen commanding only 75 cents. Painters, it is said, will not average 50 cents a day the coming win- ter; ship-carpenters are out of employ, and masons have gone into the country.*’ The Journal of Commerce also adds. that nortli- ern mechanics and manufacturing artizans are Preparing in great numbers to move to the South, there to follow their respective trades Coming South to follow their trades, and at the same time to become of the South in spirit. as well as in name, they will all thrive far better than in New England, make more Money, have within their reach more of the real comforts of life ata less cost, and be much more independent as men and Citizenr, than at the North. We hope that the end of five years may find half a million of industrious and skillful northern artizans Prosecuting their severa] callings south of Mason and Dixon's line, more than were 80 en; Brown raised the at Harper's Ferry. gaged there on the day John standard of negro insurrection SENatToR Szwanp's progress from the steam- ship in which he bas just voyaged from England, to his home in Western New York, may be writ- ten down to have been one continued ovation; his party (the Republicans) turning out as never before, to greet him on his return. The famous reception of Gen. Jackson in New York city was not a more marked event than the recent reception of Senator Seward there; and the wild enthusiasm characterizing the greetings showered upon him everywhere from New York city to Syracuse, cast the city’s reception of him in the shade. i Now all this simply means that the masses of the Republican party recognize in him their ap- Proaching Presidential candidate, entertaining no idea that he can be seriously rivalled féF their nomination. it tells, too, of the heartiness of their endorsement of Mr. Seward’s unltraisms upon the slavery question. He isthe very political em- bodiment of the ideas on which Jehn Brown sought to justify his Virginia raid, as well as of | the higher law theory upon which the New York Tribune seeks to justify its very last political de- Parture, wherein it avows the mission of the northern anti-slavery sentiment to be the regula- tion of the affairs cf the South according to its (antl-slavery’s) views of the fitness of things. on the ground that the South being wrong, must sub- mit to correction at the hands of the party or sec- tion entertaining right views. We regard the demonstrations over Mr. Sew- ard’s return, referred to above, as going to show the utter impossibility of much longer delaying the final settlement of the American slavery ques- tion—proving the determination of the northern masses to be content with nothing short of press ing on Mr. Seward’s ‘irrepressible conflict,” te the extremest point dreamed of by the most ex- teme higher law men and transcendentalist® amony their leader: aes Tur Hon. 8. 8. Cox. or Onto — An evening Paper’ of the 3ist ult. thus introduces a reply to the Star's criticism of the political attitude as- anmed by Mr. Cox, of Ohio, in debate, a few days since : “In an evening Faper of the 29th inst., an allu sion is made to Hon. SS. Cox, of Ohio, which doubtless originated from motives of malice, and which, if left unexolained, is caleulated to do him great injustice.”? As the Star, throughout its career of more than six years. has given substantial evidence that ina- lice is not permitted to influence its views with reference either to men or things, we can only tribnte the above undeserved imputation upon it, to the fact that its cotemporary, so famed for rarely fiiling to contain a ferocious personal assault on somebody or other, has searched its own bosom to find a motive probably actuating it—the Svar. So far as the explanation of Mr. Cox is con- cerned, we have to say that it embraces nothing whatever to weaken our original conclusion that his remarks in question involved a virtual decla- ration that he is willing to witness the triumph of Mr. Sherman, when that can be prevented by his vote in favor of the most unobjectionable member of the Southern Opposition. Or, in other words, when his vote in favor of some conservative Oppo- sition member will prevent the election of the Republican-party candidate to the Speakership, he will withhold that vote, and thus permit Mr. Sherman to triumph. If that will not be practi- ally (thongh it may be indirectly) aiding and abetting the success of the Republican party inthe current contest, as an alternative for the election of any conservative Opposition member, we confess ourself utterly unable to comprehend what his po- sition really is. s—e0e- A Card. In the House of Representatives. on Thursday last, the following colloqny occurred between Mr. Grew of Pennsylvania, and myself: Mr Grow —And bad the gentleman from North Carolina {Mr. Branch] been as familiar with con- stitutional law and parliamentary precedente as his long practice in legislation would have led us to suppose, he could have found sufficient and abundant reasons to justify my conduct and that of a majority of the House, withont violating all parliamentary and gentlemanly courtesies that are recognized in all deliberate bodies, by impugn- ing the motives of bis peer. and charging sordid and selfish considerations as the moving motive and cause of‘ our action. Mr. Branch. —I desire to msk the gentleman from Pennsylvania whether I am to understand his language as imputing to me any conduct that was ungentlemanly? Mr Grow —I said that the gentleman violated all parliamentary and ventlemanly courtesies that are recognized in all deliberative assemblies. It needs no reference to _parlimentary law to know that. ‘The first rule of parliamentary law is, that no gentleman has the right to impugn the motives of another. Mr. Branch —I desire to ask the gentleman whether he means. by that language, to impute to me any conduct that is ungentlemanly ? Mr. Grow.—l ask the gentleman to refer to his own language, and see what he thinks—— neh. —I demand of the gentleman from aia to know whether he means. by that to impute to me any conduct that is un- gentlemanly or unbecoming? ~ Mr. Grow —The yentieman charged, the other day, that I had defeated the Post Office appropri- ation bill, in order to compel the President of the United States to call an extra session ef Congress Tsay that such an imputatien on my motives was net yentlemanly under parliamentary law. Mr. Branch.—I repeat the question which 1 bave already asked the gentleman from Pennsyl- vania—whetier he designs. in those remarks, to impnte to me any conduct unbecoming a gentle- man? A failure to respond I shall assume to be an_afiirmative answer. Mr. Grow —Mr. Clerk. 1 take the language of the gentleman. What I have said on itis plain English, and there itstands. ‘The gentleman, the other day, impugned my motives of action on the Post Office bill.” The Impagament of giotives in body is everywhere regarded. not np pentary. but as ungentlemanly, under parliamentary practice and law. Mr. Bravch.—I repeat that the gentleman bas hot responded to my inquiry, and that I shall take his failure to respond ag an afirmative anawer. Mr. Grow.—The gentleman can take just what he pleases Mr Branch —I will do so. Mr. Grow —1 will reed the gentleman's own language, froin the Globe of Monday last. Immediately after the occurrence I addressed to Mr Grow, and handed to my friend Mr. Winslow for delivery, a note, ef which the following is « copy: Wasnixeton City, D.C., Dec. 29, 1259.
