No one disap- ‘Voting as a farce unti such a permanent change was known te exist as would prduce a result, Some members who hhave been voting for Mr. Hamilton were startied to-day at the announcement by that gentleman that he believed the ‘Union was now being dissolved, and that the State of ‘Fexas had appropriated $20,000 to pay expenses of him- eel and colleagace to continue the present disorganized ‘@eacition of the Bouse. Mr. Davis, of Indiana, who nomi” mated Mr. Hamilton, is severely commented upon. Mr. Morris, of Pennsylvanis, changed his vote to diffe- Feat candidates to-day, but would have returned to Mr. ‘Sherman had bis vote deen needed to elect. Mr. Oark, of New York, nominated Mr. Etheridge, of ‘Tennessee, two weeks ago, and has voted for Mr. Davis, of Indiana, ani Messrs. Riggs and Adrain since, but never fer bis own nominee. Am effort was made to hold the various parties of the Heare to the agreement of yesterday, to have three bal- + Jets cach day for two weeks, witbout debate, bat Messrs. ‘Garnett, Crawford, Noel, Houston, Clark of Missouri, Re: om and others, would not consent to be bound by it. De- ‘bete will provably be precipitated again to-morrow. ‘Rothing has happened since the vote to-day to indicate a different result from that of to-day. ‘THR HARPGR’S FERRY AYFAIR. ‘Thadeus Hyatt, President of the National Kansas Aid Committee, will on the Ist of February appear before ‘the Sepate Brown Raid Committee im relation to the dis- position of the funds raised by the Tribune for the relief @f Karias in the fall of 1856. It le now reported that the promised letter from Senator ‘Wileon canuot be found, but the testimony of Realf, and ‘Wileon himself, as to its contents, will probably be taken es muficient Dr. Howe, to whom the letter was written? has not been subponsed to appear. He is not in Canada, ‘and it is said will have no hesitation to appear and testify ‘Mf wanted. ‘Mr. Giddings has never refased to come here. He bas ‘Deen absent from home on a lecturing tour, and the sub- poona sent to Obio for him did not reach him, but # notice ‘ef the fact has reached him in another State, and he is daily expected here. Old Brown’s eon, John, Jr., it is said, will not consent ‘to come here, nor Sanborn, of Massachusetia, either. ‘MAIL CONTRACTS. ‘The mail contractors insists upon full pay for the service eriginally agreed to be rendered by them, disregarding the curtailment of the service since made by the Post- master General. Out of this demand hes grown the re- eent romor that Postmaster General Holt had experienced ‘a flare-up in the Cabinet and was about to resign. It is proposed to raise in tho Senate a committee to investigate whether he bas exceeded authority of law, and repor says Mr. Douglas will favor the investigation if he can get some republican to move it. THS SENATE PRINTING BQUABBLE. ‘Tee row between Wendell and Bowman will save the @evernment huadreds of thousands of dollars. Already propositions are before the Printing Committes to do the eensus work thirty per cent below the present prices. The following resolution was prepared to-day by a So- nator, who, it is said, intends to submit it to that body:— rg: eped es ramargloom th ye lrglnespe pred bole ee fio use Of foporiors in taltesg, note of debates, whICK @baracters will represent—frst, slavery; second, free- dom; third, aquatter sovereignty ; fourth, Territories; and, fifth, John Brown, ‘THE BOSTON OOLLECTORSHIP. ‘Who will be the successor of Austin, Collestor of Bos- ton, is not yet settled. Dr. Loring, of Salem, aud Colouel ‘Wright, of Boston, are still here, but I am satisfied they ‘are on other business than that of the Collectorship. INDIOFMENT OF A GOVERNMENT CONTRACTOR. Leach, the Superintendent of the El Paso and Fort ‘Yuma wagon road, for the conetruction of which an ap- propriation was made in 1856, has been indicted by the Grand Jury of this District upon a charge ef fraud, forgery, &c. An avalanche of wit- nesses from Boston has been precipitated upon ‘Washington to testify in this case; but the ‘whtnegses say they have no knowledge of what they arc expected to testify to. These witnesces are as follows:— Seth J. Thomas, Edward D. Sohier and James English, Jawyers; Alvah Adams, expretsman; Lewis Rice, tand- Jord of the American House; Jag. Fullam, stable keeper; ‘Wm. K. Jones, policeman; Benj. Wright; Frank Kidder, Bquor dealer, spd Chas C. Henry. Mr. Abbot, of Con- eord, N. H , wagon builder, is ulso here, to testify in the same case. The trial of Leech is to commence to morrow, ‘when the real facts of the case will begin to develope them- selves. OUR RELATIONS WITH CENTRAL AND SOUTH AMERICA. Despatches were recetved at the Department of State this morning trom Central and South America. Profes- sor Dimitry informs the Department that he bad presont- ed his credentials ana was cordially received by the Ni- earaguan government. The very best feeling is enter- ‘tained towards the United States, and every disposition manifested to bring about a speedy and satisfactory ad- festwent of pending difficulties. The convention recently Megotiated between Great Britain and Honduras, setuing the vexed and long pending questions respecting the Bay Islands and the Mosquito protectorate, will, it is believed, Jead to a permanent sottioment of the whole Central Ame- rican imbrogtio. Despatches from Peru represent the condition of affairs there to be very unsatisfactory, and her attitude towards the United States as insulting. She peremptorily refused to render satwfaction to our government, where positive Apstruetions bad been given to our Minister in two cases, demanding redress for flagrant violations of the rights of American citizens. The government have now the whole matter before them, and will undoubtedly take prompt and deeiaive action in the premises, by sending one or two men-of war to look after this matter.

The “ Litelo Giant,” ia the recitation of his Dlinois campaign against the black republicans, was an old story; but the report that Corwin was up in the House, and right among the fire-eaters, in a general and sweeping reply to Barksdale, of Mississippi, ‘was an attraction which could not be resisted. So long ago as 1840, “Tom Corwin, the Wagon Boy,”’ had won the title of the greatest and most fascinating stump speaker “west of the mountaips.”’ Since that day he has been a member of the United States Senate, Secretary of the Treasury, and Governor of Ohio, and now returns to the House of Representatives, of which he was a member with Henry A. Wise, and Fillmore, and Toombs, and Stephens, and when they all belonged to the good oid whig party, Mr. Corwin is some five feet eight inches high, and Jooks to be not over fifty years of age. He is a solid and robust man, with a round, full, jovial face, sparkling with fun and glowing with the reflections of a generous and in telligent mind. His complexion is as dark as waa that of Daniel Webster; and we believe that Mr. Corwin attri- butes it to the fact that he is descended from the ancient oriental royal Mugyar race of Hungary. He occupies an aisle on the democratic side; he has gone over among that party so that they may bear him; the republican side of the House is almost completely vacated. hali a dozen members in those benches.

Tos epreod at the south end is a Northern speech, and the epeech at the vorth end ies Southern speech. The speaker in the House is Tom Cor win, 0!

Corwin is @ magnificent comedian. Toombs deals also- gether in high tragedy. Nothing ia ment 80 serious to Corwin that it will not admit of a joke; nothing sug- oo oe amusing, will soiten the terrible wrath ‘of Toow! But there is something of method in these peculiarities on both sides. Toombs would hold the South to the teat question of disunion, while Corwin seeks to divert the Southern mind from Brown and Helper, to the inoonsia- lepcies apo beresies of aemocracy, and the innocent and fraterpal coctrines of the republican party. ‘Tous we bave bad a remarkable day in each extremity. The Soutbern ultraisms of the Senator from Georgia may have been too much for the practical uses of the democratic party, while the moderate North- ern views of Corwin have probably done very little to win over to hie side the ultras of the republican camp But be has made a general impression; he has efficted @ pauee in the battle; he has gained the ear of the Soath He bas been two daye at this work, but withia these two ave be bas made tbe most ingenious and plausible de- fence of bis party that could be made, If 1t should fail to satiety that Loge ed fail to bring it to reason, thea, from ol) tbe rigns in South and in the North, this republican organization next Novemoer will be groun’ to powder.

I wantto know if any New Evgland State passed a law to plant slavery there? Mr. Witsox—I suppose it went there by the etrong arm of power. Certainly it did not exist oy any law. When we made the constitution of the Usited States the people of each of these Territories beid slavery uoder their own laws, legislation and custome.

Mr, Wusox—I need not inform the Senator I am not a Jawyer, and Ido pot pretend to go imto the nice points; but | bave read the declaration of the great jurist of New England, that slavery does not exist by common law, aud your Supreme Court deciaed that it was merely a muni- cipal regulation. Mr. Frreu, (dem.) of Ind.—The Senator from Mas- sacbrsetis bas asked whether more than one Northern democratic Sepaer would withdraw in case Southern Sepators carried out their purpose of diasolvivg the Union. Without presuming to say what the democratic party of the North would go, I think | can tell that Senator what they will not do. They wilt pot, in the event of that policy DOW advocated by that Senator becoming the established policy of the country, and thereby driving off the Soutbern tion Of the contederacy, remain atached to New giand. They are not vow tisunioniste, and they hope the day is far distant when disunion wili be the remedy for our existing troubles. But they can readily be made disunioniste by the actu of that party—the republican par- ty. It these acts coutinue we will quitkty be disunioniste, and tpere will be a Northern confederacy an‘ an Eastern and Western onc. We have no political affiliation with republicanism. We would save our social circles from the pollution, and our political com munites from the poi eon, of their mad fanaticism, free love, Maine law and ne- gro equality. (applause. ) Mr Wisox—I put the question now to the Senator, whether if Mr. Seward, or ay other man in the country that ie epoben of or may be selected by the republican party, is elected President of the United States, be will sustain the men who are now threatening to dissolve the Union, and whether he will join in the inaugur.- tion of such « President?

In that event the eection from which I come would not deem ‘but his doctrines, pernicious as taken exception to'in the South, and it a cause for dissolution we will not be found long acing with thore who dieunlon. Mr, Wnsox—Then the position of the Senator amounts to this: the Senator is not ready to go out with those who threaten to diseolve the Union, but if do go out, then he is ready to diesotve the Union hi q Mr. Wrren—When your party, by their abobtion and pew the question.
