Speaker Elected! Congress Organized
Gov. William Pennington, of New Jersey, was
elected yesterday Speaker of the House of Repre
eentaiives of Congress by one majority. He is a
member of the “Peoples Party,” which is a mix
ture of Republicans and Americans in opposition
to the Northern Democracy, Mr. Pennington
was a firm supporter of Mr. Sherman of Ohio.
His competitor for the Speakership was Mr.
Smith, of North Carolina, a member of the
Southern Opposition party. Mr. Penuington re
ceived the whole Os Mr. Sherman’s former sup
port with the addition of Mr Reynolds, of New
York, and Mr. Adrian of New Jersey.
The Democracy, North and supported
Mr. Smith, of North Carolina.
The Enquirer and the Democracy.
Our cotemporary of the Enquirer cannot bo
satisfied with its political opponents. Since the
beginning of Congress, it has been complaining
and endeavoring to throw the onus of an organi
zation of the House upon the Democracy. We
have time and again met the charges with proof
sufficient to clear the good old party from blame.
This would not do for the Enquirer. Finally,
however, the Democratic members of Congress)
embracing all who bad supported the democratic
nominee for Speaker, Southern Democrats, North
ern democrats, and Western democrats, united in
tho support of an old line Whig and American,
that too in the face of the advice of the Enquirer
to the South Americans never to vote for a demo
crat; and came within three votes of electing one
of their own number Speaker. To this, the En
quirer has not a word of comment. It was a com
plete estoppel to all of its positions, but it had
not tho candor, yea, candor, not magnanimity,
to say that its political opponents did a good
thing. The mountain coming to Mahomet; the
democratic party, four times as large as the
Southern Opposition, rallying to the latter at a
sacrifice of party prejudice and passion, does not
provoke a word of praise from the Enquirer. It
is still unsatisfied. The editorial of yesterday
contained another ground of comi laint. The
democrats were so far forgetful of their duty to
the country as to press tho confirmation of an ap
pointed Minister, Mr. Faulkner, of Virginia,
through Congress, that he might enter upon his
duties (?) This was a great dereliction of duty
while Mr. Clark’s resolution was pending (?) “In
consistency,” says tho Enquirer! We venture
the assertion that the Southern Opposition mem
bers of Congress voted for the confirmation of
Mr. Faulkner’s appointment, and thought the
case one of emergency. If the democracy have
anything to reproach themselves for, it is for
yielding, every man of them, their individual and
political preferences for Speaker, and uniting with’
a little squad of Americans, who never did cast
their whole vote for any one outside of their own
party. The democracy, in view of the stubborn
ness and party spirit of ha 1 / of this little band,
might have refused forever with sufficient justifi
cation to join so intolerant a band. The country
would have excused them, the honest masses
would have acquitted them of all blame, while a
portion of the South Americans were so dictato
rial, so arrogaut, and so hard to please. On the
contrary, forgetful of the advice of such journals
as the Richmond Whig and Columbus Enquirer
to their own party friends never to vote for a
democrat for Speaker, but stand “aloof,” for
getful of the spirit that animated the course of
the Southern Opposition in the House, forgetful
of the abuse and vituperation heaped upon their
heads by the opponents, forgetful of everything,
except a true, genuine, devoted love of country,
the democrats with a magnanimity unparalleld in
the history of party politics, presented the prize
of Speakership to this little band of Americans
and bid them God speed ! When such political
heroism cannot extort a word of praise from our
opponents and the Southern Opposition press, the
conviction is irresistible, that they would sacri
fice the dearest interests of their section before
tho High Priest of party spirit and party preju
dice. We leave their conduct to the judgment of
the people, within whose honest breasts there is
truth enough to rebuke it.

The gold discoveries are likely to prove valua

South-eastern Missouri, existing with platinum
in hornblende rock, alloyed with iron. To get it,
the rock must be smelted and treated with acids.
Taking a specimen rock as a fair basis for calcu

sand dollars, and the product at ten thousand.
The platinum is almost as valuable as gold.

Excitement— I Changing Votes—Debate
When Mr. Smith, of N. Carolina, an opposition
member of Congress, was being voted for by the
Democratic party, for Speaker, the excitement in
the House was intense. The following synopsis
of the debate on the occasion is interesting. It
will strike every reader that the Democracy of
tho country is a party devoted to the Constitution.
Read the extracts and notice the States repre
sented by the Speakers. Mr. Bocock, of U..
said, in allusion to the Speakership:
“Now, though I do not agree with Mr. Smith,
of North Carolina, yet, in a spirit of concession,
and a spirit of sacrifice, with a view to the organ
ization of the liaise, and for the purpose of giv
ing peace and quiet to this excited country, and
for the purpose of putting in tbe Speakers chair a
sound, constitutional and good man, and further,
with the view of making a decisive blow to re
press the principles of the/'irrepressible conflict,
and to rebuke a sectional party, and knowing as
I do that the announcement of the election of the
gentleman from North Carolina will remove the
clouds which so darkly lower over our bouse, I
recall my vote and now record it for Mr. Smith,
of North Carolina. (Applause from the demo
cratic benches.”)
Mr. Niblaek, dem., of Ind., had noexplanation.
He would let his vote speak for him, if it was the
last vote he was to give on earth. The contest
was narrowed down, between a republican and an
American. He would vote for Mr. Smith.
Mr. Robinson, dem., of 111., would vote for any
national man to defeat the republicans, and there
fore supported Mr. Smith.
Messrs. Phelps, dem., of Mo., and Scott, dem.,
of Cal., severally changed for Mr. Smith.
Mr. Florence, dem., of Pa.—Sir, from the first
vote I cast here on the first week of December
last, I have been anxious for the organization of
this House by the election of a sound constitu
tional conservative member, as Speaker. To ef
fect this I have voted for gentlemen not affilia
ting with that organization to which I belong—
the democratic party. I voted for the gentleman
from Tennessee, because 1 believed him to be de
serving of the confidence of the House and of the
country. I voted for him as an old line whig.—
In doing so I did not lower the standard of dem
ocratic principles. My position upon this floor,
and my records since I had the honor of a seat
here, will sufficiently attest the fact. Without
lowering that standard an inch, desiring only to
drive back the advancing tide of sectionalism
which threatens to undermine Ae pillars of the
republican fabric, I am willing to take upon my
self tbe responsibility of voting for a conservative,
national old line whig. I change my vote, and
in doing so I act upon tho principle of the old
man of the Hermitage, who generally took the
responsibility of bis acts upon himself, and sub
mit my conduct to my constituents. Mr. Clerk,
I vote for Mr. Smith, of North Carolina. (Ap
plause from the democratic benches”)
Mr. Fouke, dem., of 111., said he had never
given any but a democratic vote, but as the dem
ocratic party had received accessions from the
whig party, and as Mr. Smith was represented as
a gentleman of ability and parliamentary inform
ation, he was willing under the . circumstances
(deeming it the duty of every patriot to sacrifice
private feelings and prejudices for the good of the
country) to vote for him.
Mr. Montgomery, A. L. dem., of Pa., said he
thought they should all make concessions, and
stated his reasons why they should organize by
the election of Mr. Smith. Ilis remarks were ap
plauded.
Anxious cries from the republican side to an
nounce the vote.
Mr. Logan, of 111., dem.; Mr. Hughes, of Md.,
dem.; Mr. Stout, dem.; Mr. English, of 111., dem.;
Mr. Burch, of Cal, dem.; Mr. Cox, of Ohio, dem.
and others, made remarks, while changing their
votes to Mr. Smith. Willing to make the sacri
fice for the good of the country.
Mr. Mcßae, dem., of Miss., called attention to
the fact that no democratic nominee had ever got
moro than half the American vote; but the demo
crats could be generous and just. He voted for
Mr. Smith. (Applause.)
Mr. Larrabee, dem., of Wis., said be represent
ed more foreign born constituents than any man
on this floor, and that every one of them would
justify his vote for Mr. Smith. (Applause.)
Mr. Nixon, opp., of New Jersey, changed his v
vote from Mr. Smith to Mr. Pennington.
Mr. Vallandigham, dem,, of Ohio, said that
when he voted for Mr Smith his vote for Mr.
Smith would have elected him. Since that, by a
fraudulent change of vote, that result had been
altered. But he took the responsibility and
wanted his vote to stand.

Letter from Washington.
Washington, Jan. 24 1800.
The most eloquent and effective speech of this
session was delivered to-day in the Senate by Mr.
Toombs, of Georgia, lie spoke upon the subject
of Mr. Douglas’ resolution. He accepted that
proposition as an effort in the*right direction. It
was necessary to enable the government to
discharge its whole duty to the country. But Mr.
Toombs feared that the evil was beyond remedy.
He spoke upon the political past, present, and
future, and in a truly statesmanlike manner. He
commanded, as no one else has done this session,
the earnest attention of every Senator. Mr.
Seward devoured every W'ord he said, giving him
the closest attention. The whole speech of Mr.
Toombs was to show in what manner the evils
that surround us, and which placed us in a con
dition of quasi civil war, have been brought
about. He showed, too, that unless the North
changed its aggressive policy and sentiment, the
two sections must, at the next Presidential elec
tion be brought face to face, in open collision.—
Sav. iVcMW.
From the New York Daily News,
The Domestic Institutions of the Territories.
While Mr. Douglas, in his late speech in the
Sanate. was perfectly sduud and Democratic in
the miin issues discussed, yet he permitted him
self to sav. in answer to a ruination hy xr>- Pr,.
senden, that “hi doctrine was that the Federal
Government should exercise no power, directly or
indirectly, to control, form or otherwise influence
the domestic institutions of the Territories.” Had
he said “ could not'’ instead of “ should not,” he
would have been sound with the Democratic doc
trine in that respect.
The Territories are jointly owned and occu
pied by all the States, and Congress is required
by the Constitution to protect the rights and in
terests of the citizens of each State residing in
the Territories the same as they would have been
protected by the laws of their own State had they
remained there. This is the decision of the Su
preme Court, and it arises from the fact that
Terr tories have no sovereign power in them
selves, and henee cannot control their domestic
institutions except by virtue of the sovereign
power derived from Congress, or from the common
law of the land. As Congress cannot grant them
that power, having it not to grant, and as the
C , om “ on . <^oes n °tf it follows of course that
the ierricories cannot exercise it. That is the
reason why a plurality of wives is allowed in
l tab. and cannot be prohibited until Utah be
comes a state and acquires severeign power that
she can enact positive laws.
We admire Mr. Douglas for the good he has !
done our party and the country, but we have suf
tered so much from the misconstruction by our
opponents of the power of Congress over the Ter- I
ntories and of the powers of the Territories
themselves, that it is not only right but of vital
importance to our success, and to the peace and
best interests of our country that all the leaders
should be sound upon this subject.
The Georgia Rifle
The best fire-arms of America should come ;
from the South. It is here that they are iu the ;
most common use. Here the requisites of good j
weapous are best known; and here the tiuest
specimens of the best manufacture in the world
can be found. The present interest in the sub
ject is taking a practical turn, and, while we call
attention to the remarks, in another column, of
the Richmond Enquirer on the Morse gun, we
will spea& briefly of a recent trial iu this city.
Our readers will remember the account we pub
lished a short time since, from the Savannah pa
pers, of a trial there of a gun invented iu Geor
gia. The same piece was subjected to a trial at
the Magnolia Farm last Monday, in the presence
of Mr. Gladding, the inventor; Capt. Delaunay,
and a third gentleman from Georgia, whose name j
has escaped us,•and Gen. Schuierle, Maj. Lucas,
Capt. Coste, Mr. Levin, Dr. Skrine, and repre
sentatives of the Courier and Mercury.
The Georgia rifle is breech loading, and the pre
sent specimen was made by welding the patented
chamber to an old barrel The chamber is open
ed by unshipping the guard to the trigger, when
the stock falls down, opening the chamber by a
hinge. The hammer being down withdraws the
cartridge case, which consists of a paper or leath
er, enveloping the powder, with the conical ball
protruding, as in other breech loaders. The cap
is located in the interior of the cartridge, and is
exploded by a needle piercing it from a blow of
the hammer.
A Maynard rifle, of the U. S. army pattern,
was brought to the field by Mr. Levin, and enter
ed upon the trial.
The following statement of the trial and its
results has been signed by the gentlemen whose
names are appended:
Charleston, Jan. 23.—8 y invitation of the
Patentees, the undersigned were present this
morning at Magnolia Farm, where a trial was
made of the qualities and merits of a breech
loading rifle, invented and patented by DF. M. G.
Gallager and William H. Gladding, Esq., of Sa
vanuah, Georgia, and the “Maynard Rifle.” The
trial was made under the following circumstan
ces, and was limited to the penetrative power of
the shots of the respective arms;
The target v as made of thirteen thicknesses of
inch pine plank, with an inch space between each,
and placed at a distance of twent,y-fiv6 paces or
seventy-five feet. Tbe Georgia rifle, a roughly
constructed model, only to test the principle, was
fired with a charge of 48 grains of pov der and a
ball weighing 3yo grains. The first shot pene
trated nine of the planks and struck the tenth.
The second and third shots penetrated ten of the
planks and bruised the eleventh.
The Maynard Rifle, United States Army pat
tern, was fired with a charge of 44 grams of
powder and a ball weighing 340 grains. The first
shot penetrated nine of the planks and struck the
tcuth. The second shot penetrated ten of the
planks and struck the eleventh; the third shot
perforated within an inch and’a half of a previ
ous shot, buried itself in the eleventh plank.

Maj Gen. 2d Div. S. C. M.
J. JONATHAN LUCAS,
Maj. 17th Regiment.
N. L. COSTE.
Capt. U. S. R. S.
It is but fair to say, that while the Maryland
rifle was in excellent condition, the Georgia rifle
from the circumstances of its construction, was
imperfect; yet the throwing of fifty grains more
lead, with only an additional four grains of pow
der in the charge, with so nearly the same result,
argues great efficiency.
A Maryland rifle, of the citizens’ small sport
ing pattern, was brought to the ground by Mr.
Carlisle, and several shots made with it, though
it was not entered into competion with the other
rifles, but only experimented with as a diversion.
Its results were most satisfactory. At the same
distance as stated above, several shots were fired
with the rifle, and the same uniform result ob
tained, viz: it pierced nine of the planks, and
struck the tenth. This rifle carries a ball weigh
ing 144 grains, the charge being 46 grains pow
der.
We are pleased to-announce that the Georgia
gentleman left an order with Mr. J. M. Happoldt
our admirable Charleston gunsmith, for a rifle
made in exact accordance with the specifications
of the patent, which will of course be as perfect
an arm as skill can make. We 1 am that on its
completion another and more satisfactory trial
will be made of the powers of the Georgia rifle,
of which Gov. Brown of Georgia, says:
“The Legislature which places your Georgia
Rifle, or some other first rate arm in the hands
of every person in the State qualified to do mili
tary duty, will have done more to protect the
South against aggression than has been done by
all the resolutions of its predecessors.”
Should this arm satisfy its friends, an effort
will be made for the formation of a company to
manufacture it in this city. The holders of the
patent will accept of no proposals tc manufacture
elsewhere than at the South, as it is intended to
be in every respect a Southern weapon.—Mercu
ry, Charleston.
Remarks of Mr. Hardeman, of Ga.
The following remarks of Mr. Thomas llarde
man Jr. of Ga., in tho House of Representatives,
on the 20th instant, are taken from the Con
gressional Globe of the 21s l ult.;
Mr. Hardeman—My notice has been called
this morniEg to a letter of mine, which was writ
ten the second week of the session, and which
recent events have convinced me, places some
members in a false position before the House.—
That letter was not written for publication; but
it uaving been published for want of a little
caution on my part, for I attribute no blame to
the publisher, I sat down as soon as I saw it
published, and put myself and friends right up
on the record. But as the paper that contains
the synopsis of my explanation does not circu
late thus far from home, and as I noticed this
morning that the first letter was published in a
New York paper, I deem it my duty to put my
self and my friends right upon the record.
That letter ftas written, as I said, the second
week of the session, and I am convinced from
revelations that since been made, that I
then labored under some erroneous impressions.
I stated in it that there were several of the anti-
Lecompton members of the House who would
vote for Sherman. Since then that declaration
has been verified; but I am glad to state that, as
regards others of that party, I was doing them
injustice, as their course since has proved; and
I rise to disclaim any intent ion of that sort They
have put themselves right on the record, with the
exception of one or two; and trust .that when
the time comes that their votes will be needed,
they too will be found “right side up with care.”
Again: I stated that I believed that there was
a- portinn r\f *Vo Dotnooratio porty who w ou lJ
not under any circumstances lend their influence j
to the elction of an American, as they were so
carried away'with party feeling that they would
vote for none but one of their own party. lam
happy to state that in that I was m error, for
the course of a great portion of tbe Democratic
party South has convinced me that they have
been willing, and are still willing, if theexieeney
should arise, to unite on an American as speaker
of the House.
Again: I stated in the letter the result which
I thought would follow the introduction of tbe
the resolution of the gentleman from Missouri,
[Mr. Clark,] and while I then thought, and now
think, the introduction of that resolution impo
litic and unwise, I would not impugn the motives
of the gentleman who introduced it, for his con
duct on this floor has satisfied me that he was
sincere in his course.
I have thought that it was due to myself and
due to my friends on this floor, that I should
make this explanation. In regard to the rela
tion existing between my anti-Leeompton friends
and the Republican party,l will state that recent
events, and a close observance of their conduct
have convinced me that I was in error as to the
final course of one or two of them. So much I
have thought it my duty to say to this House, be
cause, as I stated, the letter which explained my
first letter, may never reach my friends’ emstitu-
enrs.
Mr. Craige, of North Carolina—That letter has
been copied in papers in my district, with a view
doubtless, of prejudicing gentlemen who act with
me on this side 6f the House. Among other
things it contains this sentence;
“I have heard the speakers denounce Sher- ,
man as unfit to live as unfit to die, and hare seen j
them, at the conclusion of their remarks, arm
Sherman and walk off in social glee! So much
for their sincerity and honest indignation ”
Mr. Hardeman—That was what I alluded to
just now. As I stated the letter was not written
for publication; and therefore was not worded
with that care which it otherwise would have
been. I meant to say that while speaLers de
nounced the Republican party, I had noticed that
with a great majority of them that did not effect
their social relations.
Mr. Craige, of North Carolina—l suppose the
gentleman did not mean that he had seen gentle
men on this side of the House, after denouncing
the Republican candidate, walking out of the hall
with him.
Mr. Hardeman—l have seen what I stated: but
I h ive since found out that it was a business
transaction entirely. (Laughter.)
Mr. Craige of North Carolina—l am satisfied
that the gentleman did not see me do that.
Interesting Movement on Foot. —We saw
yesterday letters that have since been forwarded
to the Secretary of War, at Washington, and to
Senators Wigfall and Hemphill, of Texas, from
Messrs. E. Green and George W. Chilton, offer
ing to the United States Government the services
of a mounted rifle regiment of 1000 Texan vol
unteers, made up from the counties of Harrison,
Penola, Rush, Cherokee, Smith, Anderson, Up
shur, Cass, and other counties east of the Trinity,
for the protection of the frontier against the in
vasion that threatens it from Mexico, and to be
ready for “any other emergency.”
This regiment, the writers of the letters allud
ed to say, is already organized, and is ready for
immediate service; and they request the Texas
Senators in Congress to urge tho ‘■''eeptance of
its services upon the Secretary of War. We be
lieve that Messrs. Green ohilton leave to-day
en route for Washingt-r, to facilitate the attain
ment of the end t v y have in view. They speak
in warm terms of the character and efficiency of
the regiment that has been raised for the protec
tion of the frontier of Texas, and express the
most confident hopes that the Government will
freely accept their services, and furnish them
with the necessary equipments.
We shall probably hear the result of the pro
posed application to the War Department, in the
course of a few days.—AT. 0. Picayune, January
