may lie gratifying to know that John

to witness this ud-lUunuil evidence of
thu iiicroiising strength of thn Blank

wo have not much fear that any attack

of tlmeleotion of the latter. Tho lead

will elect their candidate for tho Presi

inyton, ,/uftiiary 12, 1800.
Mr. Shermnn. of Ohio, who has thus
far refrained from speaking with n
special view to ultimately becoming
Speaker, said that Mr. Houston, of Ala
bama, had been indulging in pleasant-
vies at 11 is ex lien sc. Mr. Houston had
called him ii burning, withering curse
and shame, and Imd otherwise jocular*
ly ex pressed himself. He desired to
know if the gentleman from Aluhutnn
had intended to stigmatize him as a per
sonal withering curse and shame, ot
merely as a political one.
Mr. Houston, of Alabama, replied that
no one Imt a raving and inexpressible
idiot could suppose, as tho gentleman
from Ohio had done, that any personal
application was intended. He simply
considered Mr. Sherman a treasonable
and infamous character, besides being
stingy and not nt all msilly, 'fiut was
all.
Mr. Sherman »aid every one ought to
he sat i died with so noble a disclaimer.—
He had never c meealed his opinions,
and lie would say to Mr. Houston frank
ly, uud with the slncerest regard, when
ever occasion demanded, "Yoii’ro an
other."
Mr. II .uistnn then observed that inn
of this political sense no one could deny that
Mr. Sherman was Uitnsy and dishonora-
bio, and aUosulliod in various ways to
considerable extent, to say nothing of
his boiiij* foolish and incendiary irum

Mr. Sherman cordially reciprocated

Mr. Clark, of Missouri, arose and an-
noiincod a phvsicul inability to sit still
in his seat. He would stand by his reso

integrity of Mr. Sherman, lie would say
that gntitlunun was not fit, politically,

As he himself represented a virtuous

Cdi/orh:—The Into Rev.
ti. Clarke, who died at Cheshire on the
1st of Jnnuurv, was horn in Woodlmry,
Conn.. Feb. II. 1793. Having received
his elussicnl ami theological training
under that able scholar and divine, Dr.
Tillotsoii Brownson, he was made hono
rary master of arts by Yale Col logo in
1821. He was ordained Deacon in
Trinity church, New York, Oct. 20, 1818,
by the Right Rev. Bishop Hobart, and
began his ministry in tho city of Nor
wich, us assistant to the Rev.* John Ty
ler, and Missionary to several place* in
the neighborhood. On tlm 13th of Jan
uary, 1829, lie wa* admitted to the
l’riosthood hy the present prosiding
Bishop who then for tlm first time con
ferred Holy Order*. Mr. Clarke iatior-
ed very acceptably at difierent points
in the diocese of Connecticut, until Oct.
1838, when he was commissioned Chap
lain in the U. 8. Navy. Since that
time he has been occupied with the du
ties assigned him hy the Navy Depart
ment. Uf late, though seeming to oth
ers in the enjoyment of his usual health
he felt himself affected hy a hidden dis
ease, and while careful not to alarm his
family, was calmly setting his hnuso in
order, for whatever might betido. In
May, 1859,ou reporting for duty, under
orders for a crui-'e to China and Japan,
he was found physically unequal to the
labors of the station, and accordingly
roturned homo to await in humble resig
nation the tinfolding of His will "who
doetli all things well." During the in
terval, lii* bodily power* have been fail
ing, while his spirit seems to have steadi
ly increased in purity and brightness.
And on the morning of New Year’*
D.iy, just as the first rays of the sun en
tered his chamber, lie fell asleep in
Jesus, and his freed houI began to on-
joy, us wo reverently trust, an endless
year of happiness in the Puradiso of
God. Ilis funeral was attended from
St. Peter's church Cheshire, by the Rev.

would behold politically responsible for

Mr. ILiskiti explained that he Imd
never before used a pistol, except in an
honorable way, and he trusted that this
single failure to put it to the legitimate
use would not be visited too harshly up
on him.
Mr. Clark begged to say that h« had
accidentally been discourteous. Ho
wished to'add, that in using the lan
guage lie did to hi*colleague, he meant
that lie would fight hint for the political
ni\d not for the personal beer.
Mr. Etheridge, of Tennessee, observed
tlmt tho House had passed a very pleas
ant day, and that sueli events wottld
sometimes occur. So far as he was con

to have them happon oftoner; but s* all

of the blood in the feet below the an
kles. Tho consequence wm, that upon
taking them off to return home, her
feet were both found to be frozen. Al
though every effort wm made by the
physicians to restore them toe normal
state, one of them wm so badly frost
bitten m to render amputation neces
sary to prevent mortification ensuing.

the utmost alarm; the boy trembling
from fear of cbMtisement, and the law
yer from terror of tbe sooty appxration.
At length tho formor spoke in an un
