IN 5hNATF.................. December 26.
The Senate wee not in session to d ry.
HOUSE.
Mr. Moore, of Kentucky, (Mr. Smith, of Virginia,
yielding the fl>or ) offered a resolution—which was
read tor information—that the Hon Alexander K
Boteler be declared Speaker of the House for the
Tiiirty sixth Congress.
The Clerk said that the resolution was out of or
der, as objections bad been made and other ques
tions were pending.
Mr Moore remarked that he introduced the reso
lution hones'.iy, hoping that it would meet with the
Bpcioba'iou ot the majority of the House. He
trusted all nad earnestly endeavored, since the lirst
day of meeting, to effect an organization, and been
governed by the same hotmety, candor, and frank
ness by which be himself had been actuated.
Mr. Barksdale r.rn'oded the gentleman that the
resolution bad been objected to. ar.d the gentleman,
therefore, had no right to debate the subject.
Mr. Moore replied that the gentleman from Vir
ginia bad yielded the floor to him.
Mr. Smith said he did *o for the purpose of hear
ing what the gentleman had to say.
Mr. Moore replied, all he wantsd the gentleman
to bear was what he had to say'. [ Laughter.l
Mr. Smith supposed that what Mr. Moore had to
say was embraced in his resolution, and that he had
no idea of yielding the floor for him to debate.
Mr Moore was exceedingly grateful to the gen
tleman for permitting the resolution to be read, and
had nothing further to say.
Mr K'igor--appealed t > Mr. Smith to forego his
remarks until to moirow, in order that the
might vote for Speaker until two o’clock to-day
and then adjourn
Mr. Smith waa willing to yield the floor for that
purpose.
Mr. Stewart of Maryland, thought Mr. Smith had
better conclude his spetch now.
Mr. Smith aecotdiug y resumed hi# remaik* He
declared hmeef a ein ere and loya' fr.ead to the
Constitution auu the Cm- n. He was an edvorate
of no new or inflammatory d< etriri< a ; be warned
no modern in ova ions, tut desired to uphold the
Constitution a? it wa? perned by our fa’i era He
then rep tel t,i the ergauun s of the Republicans,
founded oa the nsn .rt on in the Declaraton of la
deptmeic , tLat ail men are created equal, by
saying that n strumen’ was burned by freemen, and
Dul (laves. It was ire in n who proposed to sever
the r, ia.ions with the mo h-.r couutrv, aud ft rm an
iniependent governtne t for thaatseves. In iha
Artic:ee of Co ifederauoa, free iula' itints a e
specified ly mentioned, slaves were
no*, included, then followed tlie adoption of the
Constitution, but n*g oas were no parties to the
formation of that instrument. The Coneti’ution
«pr»Bsly provides for the return of fugitive slave?.
Mr. S proceeded to cllude to several came which
U iar sen, under tlia* cfauae Gen. Waihug’on
htnifelf, on one oco s on, attempted to reclaim a
fugitive Slave. The ease of Pri/g vs. Peunsvlva
iH&waiaso commented on. The aggress ons on
the su jact of slavery Lave uniformly come from
the North, and that La# g own out of these aggres
s.ous. Mr. s. gave a hi dory of the principal
events connected, with th.e implant
foudmgthe Louisiana purchaee, the admus on of

proceedings the question was taken
on adjournment, and decided in the negative, yeas

A resolution was adopted that no vote for Spea
k r be taken before ] o’clock to-morrow.
there was very much contusion, Borne gentlemen
being enxtous tor an adjournment, wlile others
were desirous to remain.
During the conversation which teak place on the
subject of an adjournment, Mr. Webster said that
hitherto be bad always voted yea on motions to
aojouin, knowing that no damage to the country
could be done when the House was not in session.
Having been home and consulted his coustituen’?,
aud beiug satisfied that the ersis is past, he should
qow change his course and vote against it.
Mr. Hughes, believing that the crisis we? rot yet
parsed, v.ouid vote yea for the reason stated by hie
eo'leagne.
Mr. Hiil remarked that some distinguished man
u.td said that ali things must have an end, aud he
presumed that Mr. Smith’s speeoh would have an
end lLaughter ] He would move that Mr. Srndh
be permitted to continue h : s remarks u itil they
«»r<? finished, and that the House stand adjourned
until their conclusion.
Mi. Smith earnestly said lie did not see why gen
tlemen shi uld wish to treat him in that way. lie
had yielded the floor dey after day, and now, after
hi had indicated a wish from the beginning to grati
fy R Dumber ol gentlemen who wished to adjourn,
there seemed to t© an effort made to treat him with
disrespect, and force him to speak to empty benches.
He knew not why he was eo treated—by friends cj
well as fees.
Finally the House adjourned.
IN SENATE Deo. 27.
The President's Annual Message was sent in this
morning
Mr. Iverson moved that it be read.
Mr. Coilamer objected, on the ground that the
undeistanding between Senators was that 110 busi
ut ss should be done during Christinas week.
The question was debated by Messrs. Davis,
Fetsenden, Bayard, and others, aid the motion to
read Anally agreed to. Ayes, 28; nays, 12. The
Secretary then commenced reading the Message at
half-past 12 o'clock.
Its reading being concluded,
Mr. Brown said that at some proper time he
j < *sired to make some remarks upon the message.
1 would not do so now, as he did not wish to
I violate the agreement that had been entered into,
j ID would iuggeel that it beiaiu on the table for the
| present.
Mr. Clingman thought the best way would be
to postpone its lurther consideration until tl.e 3d of
I January.
Mr. Bright saw no reasons why the usual course
I should not bs followed, and moved that tire mee
; ? ig” aud accompanylr.g documents be piiuted for
the use of the Senate. He would not ask the im
mediate consideration of ihat motion. It could be
entered on the journal aud lie over, for no printer
had as yet been elected
That couice was pursued, acd theu the Senate
adjourned until Friday next.
HOUSE.
The Pres dent’s arnual Message was received as
•Oi a as the House met.
Mr. John Cochrane moved that It be laid on the
I table until the House was organized.
Mr. Cra'ge of North Carolina, moved to amend
the motion, so that the message be received and
read.
M*. Cochrane accepted the amendment amid
mt h excitement. The Republican side called for
the yeas and nays.
A caiiof the House was theu ordered.
Mr Staunton argued that there was no prece
dent for reading the meseage when not organized.
Mr Craige then withdrew his amendment, and
Mr Cochrane's original motion was agreed to.
Mr. Smith of Virginia, resumed his remarks
from yesterday, showing that there waa no peace
resukiog from the compromise measures of 1850, for
the pulpits aud alolitioDists of the North from the
tirs* made war upon them. He stated that Win.
Lloyd Garrkori was, as be had been informed, an
unnaturalized Englishman. If this was so he de
sired a contradiction ot his assertion He said that
the South had a right to demand cf the NoitL the
putting down of treason and the stoppage ot in
cendiary publication?, and that the South must
arm to provide against such forays as those of
John Brown at Harper’s Ferry’. They must pur
sue a defensive policy and prepare for the wrath to
Come.
Me. .Smith spoke nearly three hours to day.—
When Le concluded his remarks,
Mr Houston atked ieave to offer a resolution
in effect, proposing to name a temporary Speaker,
Lr ten days, in the meantime to read the Presi
dent’s Message, to sign eueh bill as may be parsed
tor tbo relief ot the Post Office Department, etc.
The Republicans objected to this, and the House
was then called preliminary to voting.
The House again voted for Speaker. Wro’e
number of votes 208; necessary to a choice 105.
Mr. Sherman received 101; Mr Scott 17; Mr
Hour ton 15; Mr Gilmer 11 ; Mr. Bocock 14; Mr.
Marclayl2; Scattering 35
The House then adjourned.
Firs. at Newark, N. J.—Lies or Life—A
dwelling house in Newark, N J , occupied by four
families, was de troyed by tire on Monday last.
Ab the inmates escaped save one, a Mrs. Lyon?
who reached the front door, but, becoming btwil'
dered, could not open it Her screams for help
were heard ali over the neighborhood, but before
assistance could reach her, lbs entire building was
inflames. Her body was found amid the ruiiiß
two hours afterwards. Toe unfortunate victim
leave? four children. Detective officer W&mbold,
arrested a man and a woman, named Welch, living
in the basement, on suspicion of setting fire to the
place. A Coroner’s inquest was held, and the testi
mony was veiy strong against them.
Selling bv Samples.— A worthy young mer
chant of this city brings our attention to the fact,
that Northern Drummers are even now selling im
mense quantities of goods, in tics region, by sample.
The agent of one firm, in New York, dealing in
bat?, to d him a few day? since, that he had sold
f 25,000 worth of goods, in this region, by sample.
Mayur Witters, of Mobile, we learn, ha? reaped
quite a harvest for the coffers ol his city, by fii ing
each of these Drummers SSO, when brought before
him. Something of the sort might be dote here;
but the better plan to protect our merchants who
pay taxes on their sab.-., is to get an act passed by
the Legislature taxing the Sample men so heavily
as to bleak up the business. It is likely that a bill
to that efleet will be introduced, as soon es the
Legislature re assembles. —Montgomery Mail.
Senator Brown, of Mississippi, intimated on
Tuesday his intention to attack that part of the
President’s Alessage which suggests the judiciary
as the proper tribunal to aff.ird an adequate remedy
in -;ases ot interference with the right of the master
to hi? slave in the Territories, instead of recom
mending congressional action for protection.
