THE SPEAKERSHIP, Mr. Boves, (em.) of S.

Mr. Srerieys,(whig) of Ga., hoped the gentleman would be permitted to state the facts on which he made the an- nouncement that we are on the eve of a war. If it was #0, he knew nothing about it. Objections were made to any explanations. On the motion of Mr. MoRGax, (black rep.) of N. Y., the resolution was tabled. Mr. MeMvuixy, (dem.) of Va., made an ineffectual effort to reseind the resolution prohibiting debate. Mr. Tyson, (black rep.) of Pa., offered s resolution that the candidate for Speaker who shall at any time hereatter receive the highest number of votes from a quorum of members, though Jess than a magority of votes, be declared elected Speaker, provided that he and each of the other candidates shall have the'a ppointment of the standing committees in proportion to the number of votes respectively received byjeach; but that no candidate whose vote shall be less than twenty-five shall be entitled to any appointments under this resolution. ‘The resolution was laid on the table, and the House proceeded to vote.

When the enemies of our country and of republican institutions desire to givefone or the other a coup de grace 8 finisher, in the way of argument—they cannot effect their object more thoroaghly than by referring to the history of the frst session of the Thirty-fourth Congress of the United States, They can point to the fact that while matters of the gravest import were in pendency, affecting the honor and the very existence of the govern ment—whiie internal dissension and impending foreign wars hung as triple Damoclean swords over the republic— the representatives of the nation, convened in constitu ent assembly, had neither the patriotism to forget and to ignore miserable party dissensions and sectional feuds, nor the practical c.mmon sense to organize and procead to business, We are in the hanit of saying that no Kuro- pean nation is yet fitted for the advanced state of a re- pubiie, and yet France, in the direful throes of her san- guinary revolution, never presented to the world a pic- ture #o calculated to disgust men with the political theory of self-government as the United States at this day preeents. Here is the popular branch of the national legislature unable to organize for now almost seven weeks, and the proof furnished that if one of the parties in the minority do not have the magasuimity and self- denial to withdraw their opposition, the game may be incefinitely prolonged. And yet, disgraceful as this condition of affairs is, much ‘as it tends to retect upon the principle of repablicaniam, it is far less discreditable and odium-bearing than 1s the developement of the principles entertained by those who go to make up @ large majority of this body of impracti- cables. What are they? Intolerance of the deepest dye’ bigotry which would have disgraced the cotemporaries of Calvin and Luther; despotism such as the Czar of all the Russias would shrink from; self-conceit, impudence and imbecillty which would make even Beau Hickman turn his back on them in unmitigated scorn and contempt. Do your readers need proof of the justice of the condem- nation which I pronounce upon these men? Can any one who has heard or read the debates of the session «question for a moment that the sentence is richly de- served’ Lay aside even the question of the failure of the Honse to organize—an unpardonable failure—and what do we tind? We find the legislators of the country, the men who have beeu sent to the national Cor vise and consult npon measures of great national policy —doing what? Engaging in controversial discussions abont ihe power of ‘he poor old Pope, the existence of purgatory, the propriety of going to confession, the con- servative or revolutionary tendeucies of the Romisix priest- hood, and the wisdom nna justice of saying te their fellow men of different religious persuasions, “Stand back; ye are not as holy as we, und therefore not as eligible to abare in the profits and rewards, honors and emoluments of government!” Any more mean, frivolous, disgraceful and contemptible discussion I defy the records of any legislative or respectable public body to bring forth. If these men were specially hired and commissioned by the foes of republicanism over the earth to deal their heaviest blows upon the institution of self-government, they could not nave succeeded better in their mission. Itis only to be tted that the President of the United States is not endowed with the like power as the Prime Minister of England, to. dissolve an impracticable Perhament. An instance wherein the power could be used to better effect, or in more accordance with the pepular will, never will, hope, occur on this continent. Not a week, hardly a day. has elapsed since the opea- ing of the session, wherein members have not disgraced, not oply themselves—that were a small muatter—but the American nation, by exhibitions of narrow-minded bigotr: whéch wou'd hardly have been tolerated in Exeter Hall. Amd yet who believes them sincere in their religious veal’ Certainly not I. I doubt whether ten per cent of a sainth ape) cor 0 ce an ‘oran given. Whothink through unbelierere® blood Lies their securest path to heaven, ever think oftaking any other steps ta get to Paradise then those they took to get to Congress—the exbibltion of unchristian intolerance, and the proscription of their fellow men. And if that be the extent of their religion, then give me, in preference, the prospect of salvation possessed by the merest devotee that ever recited a pater and are, oc knelt with his face toward Mecca on hearing the Muez- zin’s call to prayer. Avaunt, ye canting hypocrites! Get ye to your homes, and ask pardon of your constitu- ents, for kaving imposed on them; and of your country, tor haying—«o far as ye were able to do—disgeaced her. “One of these characteristic discussions in regard to the complexion of men’s religion, afforded a peculiar sort of entertainment to the House, and toits crowded galleries, one duy Gunog the past week. The ccbste was opened by Mr. Kustis, of Lovisiana— a boyisb-looking young man, with fair hair and tight veard and moustache—who was moved doub‘less, there- unto by s pardonable ambition to hear himself talk within the walls of the national legislature. With the generosity of his young blood he sought to eliminate from the principles of his party the eighth section ot the Phi- ladeiphia Know Nothing platform, which proclaims “ re- sistance to the aggressive policy and corrupting tenden- cies of the Roman Catholic Church in our comtry.”” He believed, or desired to belive, taat that proseriptive sec- tion meant nething. He was sure, at all events, that it could have no reference to American citizens professing the Roman Catholic faith; but his generosity was not strong and warm enough to make him regard the injus- tice of its operation on foreigners, He felt confijent that it was not intended to apply to his Catholic fellow-citi- zens, born on the soil of freedom; but if it were he was ready to denounce it, Mr. Eustis warmed with his sub- ject, and notwithstanding bis Know Nothing connections, the fire of truth began to melt down the ice of bigotry. He discovered that the name of the Pope of Rome was being only used a3 a bug bear to frighten overgrown children with; and that while his party was making suen Quixotic onslaught on the aggressive policy of tae Roman Catholic Church, there was not within their body aclergyman of that faith, although Congress ani the State Legislatures were largely supplied with gentlemen wearing white chokers and clerical cut coats. It he could have only occupied the tioor for some time longer, and pur- sued the natural current of these reflections, | doubt not once and forever, have renounced and denounced the miserable, bigoted, illiberal and unrepubican tenets to which he had subseribed when be first entered the order of the “dark lantern? Mr. Eustis was succeeded by Mr. Reade, of North Garo- lina—a man his antipodes in’ almost every respect suve brotherhood in the Order. He has the vinegarisn expres sion und stiff-backed mien of a genuine Puritan, and would doubtless have been a worthy condjutor of Cotton Mather in the palmiest days of the witch drowning sea- son. ‘The old gentleman may nevertholesa be as amiable asaturtledove and as philanthropic as any bigot can he. I only describe him as he appears. He has got » crotchet into his head, which he has reduced to the form of a question, standing now in the regular catechism for the use of the brotherlood in Congress. Ho propounded it a few days previously to Mr. Stephens, ot Georgia, who declined thea entering on. the discussion to whtich 1t woul! lead, and he brought it up again on this occasion, and cast it as a challerge to the whole host of anti-Know Nothings.

Old father Letcher, of Virgiaia, who is always ready at & retort, offered to answer tre question, if the catechisor would say that he bad ever in his whole history met with such a man as he had attempted to describ But as no reply wal ted, itis presumable that Mr. Reade had cmy in the workshop of his fervid imagiuation given shape and form to A monster of such hideous mien, ‘As, to be haied, needs but to be seen. Mr Smith, of Alabama, next euterea the lists; a dark visaged, heavy-browed, morose looking lit le man, whom if you met him in street or corridor with arms folded and eyes invently fastened on the ground, you would, only for the inevitable segar, eet down in your own mind as one of the most resolute ‘and ascetic digciples of St. Ignatius Leyola, the founder of the Order of Jesuits, He hooks one completely, And if he had been born under another sky, and under differeat influences, he might possibly have been as devoted and zealous’ a missionary as Francis Xavier, As it is, however, he is only a Kn Nothing, and of the strictest tyoe. Unlike his younger brother in the faith from the Crescent City—how these foregn attributes will intrude themselves !—he would devar of all politisal privileges not only alien Catholics, but even the children of the land who revere the faith tavght them by their fathers, but who do not happen to kneel at the same altar with him. Pardonne: mot Monsicur Smid 11 should be sorry to accuse you of knoel- ing at any altar erected under the influence of His teach- ings whe commanded us to love our neighbors ¢s ourselves, Mr. Smith indeed avowed himself not averre to permit ting the Catholics of Louisiana to exorcise political pnvileges, provided they came not under the designation of Roman Cathouies, but when Mr. Eustis asserted that that contralizing old church, the type of nnity, was known the world over by but one name, then he could not withhold his ban from eyen the Catholic sons of Lonislana. Couid intolerance and impudence go farther?

It annoys them sorely to carry the bit in their months, They should recollect, however, in thetr moments of disquietude, that much speaking ts not always safe, Until Mr. Banks was induced to violate hls rule of silence, there was a slight prospec! for his election, at rome time, under the plurality rule; but when he was cutechised and forced to apeak, sentiments: fell from his lips which blasted forever his chances for the Speekerehip, ‘This should be a warning to other gentlemen having like aspirations—and among those others I might include nearly every member of the House of Representa- ‘aves; for who is th+re among them who does not secredy hope that he will eventually be selected to preside over hat body?
