Towards the con- @usion of his remarks he'said the question was whether Abey should eléct a Speaker standing on a wational or sec- ional platform. He was for the formér. Mr, Kmzoos, in reply, said he was not at the-confe- rence, but what he had stated was the fact. He was pleased with tho remarks of his colleague, Mr. McCler- mand, who, it had been said, was not in full communion with his party, but who now sung psaims to the-union 0 the States and tho union of the democratic party. He (Kellogg) had atways known that new converts always shout the loudest. A erm svccesmoxliesrans ror coNckE. ‘Mr, Wuuis, (rep.) of N. ¥.5 said the republicans were ‘apxious to organise the Hours. He offered 2-resolntion, which was adopted, to invite the clergymen ofthe city to ‘@pen the sessions of the House with prayer. Let us, he remarked, lift our faith to the Father of all,aeking for his guidance. He'boped zhe Divine blessing of the Almighty would rest en this assembiy. ‘THE DOUGLASS-GREKLEY ARGUMENT WAIN. Mr, Moana, (A. L. dem.) of Ul., wanted to know his eolleague’s authority for bis statement alleging au agree- ment between Douglas and Grecley, such as bas been ebarged. Mr Kexxoce did not think proper tomeke the declara. “i ‘Monrnus replied that if he bad been in a private par- Jer, he should not have detailed private conversation. ‘This wae the first time he had heard that charge. He be- Beved there was not one jota of troth im it. Mr. Douglas ‘was elected by the democracy of that State, which had 4 adopted him as its son. He said a few more such scenes as thoee of yesterday, and we should hear the crack of the revolver and see the gleam of the bowie knife. WERCE DEBATE ON THE IRREPRESEELE CONFLICT. ‘Mr. Garverr, (dem.) of Va., regretted that any personal affairs should have entered into this discussion, and that ‘the gentleman from Mlinois (Mr.‘Keilogg) should have Fesorted to any game of strategy to gain a temporary ad- ‘Vantage by supporting the resolution of Mc. Clark. He had a higher motive. He wanted to know at the thresh- hold what are the purposes and sentiments of the North. He spoke of those whe signed-the recommendation for ‘the circulation of Helper’s Compendium in terms of condemnation, saying, the infamous creature Helper was taken into Francis P. Blair's con- fidence. He alluded to the meetings at the North ‘sympathising with Mr. Brown, and his scheme for in- ‘vading Virginia, to run off slaves and render slaves value- Mees. When Gen. Walker got up his expedition to invade ‘Wiearagua, gentlemen appealed to the neutrality laws to Prevent him, Dut here you invade a sigler Siate and no- ‘Thing is done to prevent it. If you wish to preserve the ‘Unien you must go home to the North and put down aboli- Gonism; you must do for us what we do for foreign nationa, Mr. Linu, (dem.) of Miss., in the course of his re- marks, said the correspondence brought to light shows that Seward is implicated in the proceedings to excite ser- vile insurrection, the object of which is to present the South as a bleeding vietim at the feet of Northorn power. (Appiause.) We will, he said, have explicit avowals on this aud other subjects. (Applause.) The gentleman from ‘New York (Mr. Palmer) remarked on Monday that they would put the negro out. Let us sce you doit! (Ap- Plause.) He then argued that the constitution protected slavery and made it a part or parcel of the federal government, a8 it is an important clement of ‘the federal power. Put the negro out at your peril. Re- garding the constitution as their protection, the South ‘were resolved to maintain thelr rights under it, Bat you ‘ef the North bave taken issue with the comtitution, and sre determined to throw off its restrictions. This is the fight, and we are determined to mect it. He would not disturb the nerves of those timid men to whom Mr. Btevens alluded yesterday. What the latter said was spoken in irony. Se far from the North Being apprebeusive of danger, be believed the Merth desired to drive the South to dis- union; but the North would need no better man to lead them to the conflict when be should point them tothe Jeader of the buckshot war. (Laughter.) His achieve- ‘ments in that will enadle him to leap out of the window. (Renewed laughter.) Mr. Lamar desired to say that he ‘was no disuniomist per s; he was dey: ted to the constitu- ‘tion and the Union. Put out the light of the constitution, and where wes the Promethean spark which could the ight relume’ We will net permit any persistent violation of its terms, and he would fight for thie eo long as blood flowed im his velos. The republicans were not innocent of the blood of John Brown. Mr. Kxx100c, in response to an inquiry of Mr. Lamar aid that slavery is a State, not a natiqpal institution; bo" yond that it has no warrant in the, federal constitution. As Glavery is agreat moral, political and social wrong, he ‘would resist, Dy all constitutional power, its extension to the Territories. Mr. Laman asked—Are you not in favor of exerting the power of Congress to exclude slavery from the Territories fm order that there may be no mere slave States ? Mr. Ke110ce—Before my country and God I desire tha lighting curse of slavery shall never extend beyund its Present limits. (Applause.) Mr. Lawar asked whether he believed its exclusion from the Territories by law of Congress was the constitu- ‘onal way? Mr. Kx110Gc—I do. Mr. Lamar—Silence, ye gods, these dumb republicans, and make them speak their sentiments. (Applause and dmoghter.) Here a member said, “One speaker at a time.’? cessive laughter.) Mr. LawaR—I am exceedingly glad to hear that lumi. nous remark. (Prolonged laughter.) As the gentleman -from New York (Mr. Clark) ytsterday said there was no abolitionists at the North, I would recommend to him a ‘<entiment from the Bible—namely, “Know thyscif.” 68 Sxcestive laughter.) 18 SOUTHERN DEMOCRATS AND SOUTHERN AMERICANS AT VARIANCE. Mr. Nason, (opp.) of Tenn., favored Mr. Gilmer’s sub- stitute proposing to ignore the agitation of the slave ques- tion. While no man would go farther than be in denounc- img Helper’s infamous pamphlet, he would not give it dignity and importance by discussion. He agreed not with extromiets either at the North or South, and proveed- ed to show the progress of nullification in South Carolina. and abolitionism in the North. He eulogized ex President Fillmore, and spoke of his pataiotism and ability, which remarks cailed forth applause from all parts of the house. It is with this view that, although my voice i# unknown to fame, although I take for the first time my Seat in a deli erative assembly, thatI firmly, earnestly yet respect- fully, imvoke gentlemen of the North and gentlemon of ‘the South to come up and Jay on the altar of their country this question, which does no good, which creates incessant excitement, which ars.s the slave against his” master, which causer a fecling of dissatisfaction to prevail against Abis great and glotiows Union. Task Norttiern men, can’ You-on an abstract question like this make no sacrifice in hebalf of your country 1 ask Southern men, ean you on a question like this make no sacrifice?

(Loud ap- Plawie.y “Mr. Wiverow, (4em.) of N.C., asked the House to in- Yormally pass over the pending question, and havo @ vote for Speaker, Cries of “ Agreed !”? “* Vote.” On motion of Mr. Pairs, (dem.) of Mo., there was a call of the House, and all the members ware found to be Present, except Mcesre. Adams, of Kentucky; Adraim, of New Jersey; Stallworth and Landram, of re, oe Smith, of North Carolina. Mr. Prior (dem.), of Va.—The gentieman who ke Jast ventured the hazardous declaration that he was not ashamed to own he was a slaycholder, I deem it hazant- ‘ous, notwithstanding that he received the acclaim of all who surround him, as likely to withdraw frem him the confidence of the comateonants in one of the Sout@ern ‘Mates. Mr. Ne1son—I have no such apprehensions. Mr. Prron—He bas no apprehensions. So be it, ButI am not to be diverted from my purpese of freely de- claring my sentiments touching that gentleman by any- thing he can say or anything he can dare to do, (Sen- sation.) Iunderstand him to’ be @ member of the so” called American party, and to be the titular representa- tive of a Southern constituency. What is his position here? Why, if Ichose to make oxtraots from his speech, Imight revert to the fact that the old whig party, to which he belonged, ceased to have a separate existence by its agsociation and amalgamation with the South. Upon the issue of this debate in some sort depends the des- tinies of the republic, J intend to show, according to the vest of my ability, the position eccupied by the represen- tatives of the South. The position of the democracy in this debate is the ong which is not only sustained by the constitution but one to be.supported by their fellow men of ail,pariiesand sections, and which, in my triumphant spirit of exultation, I predict will be sustained ty tho irrevocable award of history. (Applause.) What is our position? ‘Mot that of disunionists. And I may be per- mitted to say here that las warmly admire the Union in ‘the spirit of the constitution as the gentleman ‘himself. I will not give precedence to him ‘in this respect; but I must say tbat my patriotism is very differént in character from his. He worspips the mountains, and the valleys, and the big rivers, and the mighty foreste—he worships ‘things inanimate, iport and mere physical; while I wor- ship the spirit of the constitution. When the divinity is Gethroced from the altar, then I will csase to admjre the Union or the constitution. The gentleman from Ten- negseo, throughout his whol declamation, never once said that he loved the constitution. He loved the Union very muah, but noone heard bim say that he had any reverence for the constitution. Now, Il am myselfa lover of the Union, but a lover of the Union only in the spirit of the constitution. I would do as much as that gentle- man himself, perhaps, to support and perpetuate the Union, resting and reposing on the basis of the constitu- tion; but when that spirit dies—when the life whish our forefathers breathed into it ceases to give it vitality—when it becomes a cold and lifeless inert mass, then T will be a aionist. Yes! whe this glorious Union, much as 1 revere it, with all its endearing and vonerable associations, when it is sunk into the earth, rent and torn and turned into the faoled body of isis, beyond the possibility of re- pair, reorganization or recovery, by means of parties hos- tile to us.and to it, then I say 1 will attach myself to it no jouger. 1 am a disunionist from the moment the spirit of the constitution is trampled upon and disregarded. (Applanse and hisses.) Not only is my patriotism of a different character from the patriotism of the gentleman from Tennessee, but it aims and aspires to accorphshing its object in a manner very diferent from his, I do rot intend to impeach is patriotism; notwithstanding which, I will affirm that the language which he holds and the doc- trines which he avows, are of a character to hurry onan “grresistible conflict.” When a gentleman gets up here, ‘and in the face of this assembly says there is no danger to be feared—when he proclaims peace when there is no’ peace—I say that he ie inevitably a foe to the perpetuity of the Union. I do not intend to indulge in menace. In my conception it is unpatriotic, unwise and undig- pifed to do so, and I will not, therefore, assume that any gentloman would bo diverted from his course by any motives of apprehension, personal or tangi- ble, as to the integrity ‘of the Union, or that any gentle- man would be jutimfdated by threats of consequences ag to their conduct. In this debate the occasion is too mo- mentoue for that altogether. A gentleman yesterday, in atone of irony, adverted tothe fact that we on this side bad indulged in menaces from necessity, and that we have | threatened and resolved, and resolved and threatoned, to k out from parties. But we always recanted from these regolves, until now, that we are determined never to indulge in another threat or another regolution, but from henceforth, should the occasion arrive, we shail act with the rapidity of the thunder clap which follows with | clectric speed the flach of the forked lightuing. (Applause and hisses.) Therefore I protest against any threats or resolutions in future. Taffirm here that this representa- tive from the South has upen she floor of this Honse to. day, unequivocally, emphatically and absolutely, placed himeelf in the ranks of the black republican party. The gentleman endeavored to make light of this matter, as Nero fiddled when Rome wae burning, 80 he indulged in a species of declamation, whieh in ‘act was calculated to apply the torch of conflagration to the Union itself, treat- ing this as a trivial raatter, insignifcantand as of no conge- quence whatever, What is the struggle? I say it is amost momentous one. It is more than that. What is it then? Hero we have come together, within the walls of thie chamber, from various parts of this great confederacy, as compatri- ote representing the popular voice and will. The first question which ariscs is the organization of the House. ‘We on this side nominate a candidate for Speaker. We find that members on the other side oppose us, and no- minate a candidate from amongst themselves. Wo in- quire who he is; and what do we find that he ie? A per- son obnoxious to the representatives and people of tho South, who have a strong and insuperable objection to ! him. We find him the representative of a party whose princinles are destructive to the Union and to the spirit of the constitution, and go we take issue with him, aud we resiet bis election. We are told that we resist factionsly. So be it; very well. We are willing to take the responsi- bility even of that. At this stage of the struggle a reso- lution is proposed, in substitution of a resolution proposed by a representative from the South, which defined and embodied the objections we had to the election of this gen- tleman from the republican party. We had solemn grounds for saying that he was unfit for the high office of Speaker. I shall resist his election to the uttermost, and thoge who are endeavoring to escape I shall arrest as fu- gitives, and bring them before this House, and oxposs them to the country in the game they are engaged in. I tell you, but in no epirit of menace, that we regard this struggle as @ most momentous one and pregnant with the fatare of this glorious Union, one on which hangs the destines of this country for al, time to come. There are two classes of objections to this candidate, personal and political—personal, so far az he must be considered responsible for the publication and circulation of Helper’s book. But J, for one, will not hold him responsible if he, in the face of the country, candidly, disingenuously and emphatically, declares that he does not endorse the sentiments or politics contained in that book. If he does this, Ifor one will forgive him and make no further objection to his election, on that ground at least. I wnderstaud that he did not repudiate the act in this way, but that he is endeavoring to escape Dy a special plea, Woe will not permit this, for wo hold him up and challenge him to meet us before the coantry and this House. Does he approve the sentiments of the book? Did he promote the pr sof the book? Thepecy liar feature and characteristic of this book is that {1 recommends anew idea, never thought of before, It ix no longer the men of the North that are urged to inter fere with the relations of masier ard slave in the South but it urges the non-slayehoilers of the South to rise upon their friends and neighbors, and to light the torch of insurrectior in their own midst. This is the peculiar feature and phflozopby of the book. The government ordained for the express purpose of protecting the rights and liberties of the whole people, is attempted to be usurped by the party of which this candidate is there presentative. Here we seean attempt made to divert the government from its proper aims for the purpose of pros tituting it to destruction of the rights of the South, and for the purpose of denying to the “people of the South a equal participation in the benefits guaranteed by th: constitution. At the present moment our instita tions are attacked by the press, attacked from the pulpit and the rostrum, and we and our iu stitutions are held up to the reprobaton of te | FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. scorer at BT whole civilized world. And here we see the party avowing and encouraging these things, aspiring to direct the government end to get all power into thelr own bands. Now, what is the issue of all this? We of the South know well to what it tends, but we are neverthe- Jess determined to know what they intend todo. Shall the people of the South, shall the representatives of the South, quietly submit to this? Shall they allow thie gen- tleman to usurpthe power of the government, and that ‘be shall control the future government for two years? Isay never—never! So far as we can in a preper man- ner prevent his election to the Speakership of this House, we shall encounter all ‘We will exhaust invention, and do all that the law permaite us to prevent such a catastrophe. We shall de all we can to prevent the republican party taking poreession of that. chair and controlling the deliberations of this douse and the politics ‘of the government for the next twe years. (Applasse.) We shall take iesue on that; and here we stand. Let the issue goto the country, and thore ia no fear of the result. Ido not believe that certain gontlemen here have spoken the true sentiments of the South.on ghis floor. I call upon all lovers of the constitetion to rally round us, to rescue the government from the ‘hands of the enemics of the constitution, and to assist usin orgamizing the House. We Present to you a candidate whomever was traitorous to the Union, one whe represents the good sense and tempe- rate policy of @ peace-loving community, 1 invoke you tociect him, organize the House, and proceed to business. Mr. NELgon rose to-explain. Ido not belong to the class of men pictured by the gentleman who last spoke, nor am I in the habit of indulging in useless bravado, although I am able to protect myself against any assault that may be made upon me, whether within this house or out of it. (Great applause.) Mr. Pryor—I beg the gentleman to dismiss his fears. ‘Mr. Nutsox—I entertain no fears. The gentleman bas.| classed meas a black republican. Mr. Paror—Allow me to get you right; I eaid by asso- ciation. Mr. Nzison—I ask no escape. I havo said nothing but ‘what becomes a patriot to eay, and nothing but what I avowed to my constituents before they sent me here. I have been charged with belonging to the American party, as if that was a reproach; but here I say that I glory in having been a member of the American party. (Ap- plause.) I avowed it to my constituents, and am not ashamed to avow it here. I claim not only to be an American, but a whig; to be an op- ponent of moderh democracy in every shape and form, There is one sentiment in which I agree with the gentle- man who spoke last. That gentleman once said that “from the highways sud byways of the government there came up an intolerable stench.” Now, with that senti- ment J entirely agres. 1 spoke also of the constitution. Mr. Prror—You put the Union above the constitution. Mr. Nzison—No, sir; I put the Union and the constitu- tion together, for one cannot exist without the other. Ido not believe that the true sentiments of the South are re- presonted here. I thitk better of the South than to sup- pose that; butas for my own State, Ican declare that ‘there is not a man in it who sympathizes with a sentiment of disunion, Mr. Prrorn—I want to know whether you, as a repre- sentative of a Seuthern constituency, would, in the event of the election of a black republican to the Presidency, be willing to stay in the Union? Mr. Netsox—I declare for myself solemnly that, much as 1] might deplore such a result, yet I do not believe that the election of a black republican of itself would be a just or sufficient cause of disunion—(applause)—so long as nothing was dons hostile to the rights of the people of the South. Mr. Payor—Would you be willing to sec William H. Seward elected as President ? Mr. Nevsox—Of course I would deplore it; but, as I said Sefore, I would not accept that event in itself as a cause of disunion. (Applance.) Several gentlemen asked questions of Mr. Nelson, which he pertinently and good humoredly answered. Mr, Neson repelled ag a foul calumny the charge that: he had any political association with republicans.. He would vote for any national man for Speaker. In farther reply to Mr, Pryor he uttered Union-loving sentiments, which, as before, were rapturously applauded. Mr. Puc said he would not allow himself to be involved in any personal altercation. He, on his responsibility, reaftirmed what he had said of Mr. Nelson—namely:— ‘That Mr. Nelson was, whether wilfully or not, virtually intimately in alliance with the republicans or opposition. Mr. Nxisow replied he was responsible to his conatita- ents for his sentiments, and again denied such an associa- tion as was charged. As Mr. Pryor had eaid Southern members would not permit Mr. MF ory ag if we to take the pesos oe seat, he wished to know whether Mr. Pryor meant they would resort to violence. Fo vRyox.—Certaj..ly not, but to legitimate parliamen-— Sak: Nersos-—Of course there could be no objection to ‘THR SROOND BALLOT FOR A SPEAKER.

SOROOL TRUSTEES ELECTED, The following « je names of School ‘Trustees who have been ciected, names of the rest we expect to be able to give to-re0troW = a Weonmamay, Boo. 7, 1860: ‘Tue movement of cotton at the Sath during the past week bas been very largo indeed. No Jess than 168,000 Dales Rave been received at the ports, against 134,000 same week last year, and 182,000 same week of 1857; the exports have been 100,000 bales, equal at present prices to nearly $5,500,000. The total receipts to date are al- ready 1,401,000 bales. The two yoars which come nearest to this early receipt are last year, when, up to the Sth, including the first week in December, the receipts were 1,288,000 bales, and 1866, when to te same date 947,000 ‘bales were received. It seems certain that the profits of the planters thie season will be far greater than those of apy previous year. Crop estimates, which are now be- ginning to find their way freely into print, differ very widely. Mr. Wright consilers 4,000,000 bales a fair estimate. Neill Brothers prefer the figure 4,800,000, Some Southern authorities think the crop will amount to not less than 4,400,000 bales. From all thatwe can learn from the principal cotton centres at the South, we are inclined to think that 4,200,000 bales will mot prove an excessive estimate. If prices are maintained, and anless war breaks out in Eu- rope, there appears to be no reason why they should re- cede materially. This will confer on the South a vast acces- sion of wealth, and will not be likely to render them more yielding than usual on questions concerning tho future spread of theirfgreat staple, or the institudam which is connected with it. It will, too, exercise a most beneficial effect in liquidating the obligations which the country is in- curring in Europe. Money is rather more in demand again. At the dis- count houses very little 1s doing under seven per cent, and we hear of a very choice short acceptance going at 734. ‘Long paper, first class, with two good names, ranges from 7 to8 per cent, most of the business doing at the latter figure. ‘There i no scarcity of money among the brokers; six is the usual rate for loans on call, but in exceptional cases seven has been paid to-day. ‘The foreign exchange market closed very dull. A lead- ing foreign house drew freely on London at 109% for 60 day bills, upon which the other drawers reduced their rates to 109%; a 34. Morcantile bills goat 1008. We quote bankers’ bills on Paris at 6.16; but there are some ‘very good bills in market at 6.16% 8173. Tho Africa, which sailed to day for Liverpool, took out $672,787 in specie, about half of which was silver. ‘The domestic exchanges vary but slightly from day te day, The following are the prices of sight bills on Now York at the cities mentioned, in the currency of the places where the bills are drawn:— Mobile... New Orleans. "The importations at the South must have been heavier than usual this season, or the competition for bills must de more active, or exchange on New York would have fallen below % por cent discount for sight. ‘The duiness of the past few days on the Stock Ex- change gave place to-day toa more active movement, and ‘@ better feeling reigned generally. It is presumed that the debate in the Senate has not been without its weight int reassuring operators. The panic in Galena seems to have subsided. The stock gold by the large holders who have lately unloaded, seems to have found as good a Testing place elsewhere; the competition with the Rook- ford road is known to be immaterial, and to ia ed m avery triftimg amount of business; finally, tho money for the mid-winter interest and the February divi- end is actaally in bank here. Hence the stock, which sold as low as 6744 at the opening, rose in the middle of the day to 683, and closed in the afternoon at 68% Did. Rock Island opened at 68%, yestorday’s closing price, advanced to 643z, and closed at 643¢ bid. Oontral ‘was down as low at the opening as 7934, but was ‘Did up to 80%, and closed that bid.
