While we freely admit, that the above officers
are capable and efficient, our sympathies are with
the defeated ones; but inasmuch as the genius of
office did not search for them, and find them, they
ought to be satisfied. If not, then they may have
a good opportunity, before a great length of time,
to do a little voting themselves.
Virginia Georgia Motts.
The American or Know Nothing party held a
meetiug of the combined Councils of Richmond,
Va., in that city, on the Ist of January. Resolu
tions were introduced binding the party “ to sup
port no man for the Presidency or Vice Prosiden
who does not abide by, aud in good faith sustain
the Philadelphia platform, as it now exists.” The
resolution*were laid on the table by alarge nutjo. i
ty!
What was then done f The combined Councils
adopted as their first resolution, the greater jior
tion of the lairjaage of the 7th “platform of prin
ciples” approved by the American party at their
meeting iu Milledgeville, on the 19th December
last.
That portion which referred to what Georgia had
declajed she would do, aud the support of the
Georgia platform was omitted.
The Richmond meeting also passed resolutions
approving of the support of Henry M. Fuller, for
Speaker, and heartily responding to the principles
ot John >l. Botts, and recommending him for the
Presidency of the United States-
The action of the meeting in Richmond furnishes
a key to some of the otherwise obscure princi
ples promulgated at Milledgeville. It removes the
cloud and we see a few more of the stars. They
repudiate the Philadelphia platform, twelfth sec
tion and all, in Richmond, and adopt the Milledge
ville resolution!
We desire that the people of the .South should
keep posted up with the “spiritual manifestations”
of the Know Nothings, aud to notice them “on their
wiuding way.” The celebrated “12th resolution,”
the bantling of Judge Cone, the “darling jov" and
text book of the Know Nothing orators and news
papers last summer, is doomed to destruction.
Botts says it must go overboard, and the meeting
that adopts Botts, also adopts a Milledgeville res
olution—Judge Conk declines to go and see his
bantling cast into the lion’s mouth—we are getting
along down the stream of time and will see the
boat land after a while.
At s meeting of Democratic members of Con
gress in the Hall of the House of Representatives,
on the evening of the 7th of January, 1856, the
following resolution was adopted :
Retolved, That we will adhere to our platform and
nominee, and will vote ■ when the House next as
sembles) against all motions for a recess or to ad
journ until a Speaker shall he elected.
Geo. IV. Jones, Chairman.
Thomas Ruffin, i u - „
~ ~ Secretaries.
\\ it. H. English, t
We assert, without fear of contradiction,
savs the Nashville T r nion, that there has never
been a resolution adopted by a Know Nothing
meeting in a single free State, on the subject ol
slavery, which the Know Nothings of the South
would dare adopt-
The Savannah A‘<p’Mican is very liberal in vent
ing its spleen against the management of the State
Road. It is prompt to uncork its bottle of wrath
whenever questions about the State Road are in
troduced. It has a bundle of trouble at its own
door, which the people of Striven have brought
against the management of the Central Railroad,
which might afford some employment for its edito
rial hours. The people of Seri ven are citizens of
Georgia. Give them a helping hand, or volunteer
in favor of the Central, and leave the whole man
agement of the State Road in the hands of the At
lanta Republican d• Di*cipli*t-t. They ure entitled
to that thunder, and its they are dilligent at the
pump, the Republican should not interfere.
Servant Hiking. —ln Richmond, Ya., servants,
both male and female, are commanding higher
prices this year than the past. Farm hands bring
from $l3O to $163, and women from s4o to $75
per year. Factory hands have advanced about fif
teen per cent., on last year, and first rate female
cooks, of good character, and without encum
brance, have advanced even above that ratio.
Tw o Dead Children Found in a Car. —On Wed
nesday, after the emigrant train had changed ears
at Altoona. Pa., the dead bodies of two children,
aged about five and two years, were found in the
vacated cars. They were ascertained to be the
children of poor German emigrants, who had left
them unburied from necessity. They were decent
ly interred by the citizens of Altoona.
Persecution Still Making Exiles, a clncvh
of twenty-six Baptists, with their pastor, have left

in the same business which they condemned in
Germany.
Munificent Donation.—David Hunt, Esq., of
Mississippi, and a great friend of the colonization
eause, has lately made a donation of $5,000 to the
American Colonization Society. In 1853 he made

THIRTY-FOURTH CONGRESS FIRST SESSION.
Washington, Jan. 7. — House. —Mr. Letcher j
moved that there be a call of the House.
The question was taken, and decided in the neg- '
ative—yeas 99, nays 108.
On motion, the House proceeded to vote for I
Speaker ; Messrs. Hickman, Dowdell, Washburne,
of Illinois, and Benson continuing to act as tellers.
Whole number of votes, 214; necessary to a
choice, 1 <>B; of these—
Mr. Banks received 101; Richardsou, 73 ; H. M.
Fuller, 29 ; Pennington, 6 ; Scattering, 5
There being no choice, the House proceeded to a
ninety-sixth vote, with the following result:

There being no choice, the House proceeded to
a ninety-eighth vote, with the following result:
Whole number of votes, 218; necessary to a
choice, 109; of these—
Mr. Banks received 99; Richardson, 72; H. M.
Fuller, 30; Pennington, 9; Scattering, 6.
■So there was no choice.
During the call of the roll,
Mr. Eustis rose to a personal explanation. He
said that he had intended to occupy the attention
of the House after an organization was effected,
but that the peculiar complexion of the debat* on
Saturday last, and the remarke of the gentleman
from Mississippi, j Mr. H. S. Bennett] which he
found in the Coagi easional Globe, of* Thursday,
compelled him to change the course which he had
determined upon. That gentleman had asked
whether the American party in Louisiana did not
view the eighth section of the Philadelphia Plat
form as proscribing Catholics and foreigners, and
whether, in consequence, they had not ignored and
repudiated it? That if he, [Mr. Bennett I, was not
misinformed, the gentleman from Louisiana [Mr.
Eustis], who was elected by the American party of
that Rtate, had repudiated that portion of the plat
form, and yet he was still harmoniously acting
with the American party here in the support of
Mr. Fuller, of Pennsylvania.
Mr. E. regretted exceedingly that the vote which
lie had the honor to give the patriotic and conser
vative gentleman from Pennsylvania should have
given any concern or uneasiness to the gentleman
from Mississippi—more particularly as he did not
think that he required from that "gentleman any
prompting, any suggestion, or any lecture. He
said this in a spirit of kindness and courtesy. He
thought that he was alone responsible to his con
stituents aud political friends for any vote he might
give. He yielded to that gentleman the broadest
latitude in the expression of his opinions here and
elsewhere, and he claimed the same privilege for
himself. He had voted for Mr. Fuller, because he
thought him'the most acceptable candidate, and be
cause he knew him to he a sound and conservative
man, and would continue to vote for him as long
as he permitted his name to he used by his friends
in the House. He wished, however, to state the
position of the American party of Louisiana on
the subject of religion. The party in that State
held it as a cardinal maxim, and he hoped to God
it would Vie so held in every State of the Union,
that religious faith was a question between each in
dividual and his God, and they consider any at
tempt to abridge or circumscribe religious freedom
as unworthy of our great country as it was in vio
lation of the organic law of the land.
In this spirit the American party of Louisiana
repudiated the Bth section of the Philadelphia
platform, and he now repudiated it in toto. lie
cared not what construction gentlemen might lie
pleased, in perfect good faith, to put upon that ar
ticle. They might say it was inoperative, aud
therefore inoffensive, as against American Catho
lics; but the words were there, and they were of
fensive and insulting to the American Catholics.
He called the attention of the House to the con
struction that Flournoy had put upon that article
when he was the American candidate for Governor
in Virginia. That gentleman published n letter in
which lie said he would never vote for a Roman
Catholic, and he thanked God that be (Flournoyi
was defeated. He ought to have been defeated, as
there was enough in liis letter to have defeated ten
thousand candidates for Governor; aud he hoped
that every man who held such odious, such mon
strous doctrines, would ever meet with as deejp and
as early a political grave as did the Hon. Mr. Flour
noy.
fie agreed with the gentleman from Mississippi,
[Mr. Bennett' when he said that if the -stli article
of the Philadelphia platform did not meah to pro
scribe Catholics it meant nothing. The cardinal
principle of the American party, and the only one
which he chose to endorse at present, was that
none but native-born Americans should be elevated
to office. If none but native-born Americans should
be elevated to office, all foreigners, both Catholic
and Protestant, were excluded, and were excluded
not on account of their religion, but of their birth,
and therefore the only Catholics that remained to
be dealt with—the only Catholics who could be
considered as candidates for oflice—were the Ameri
can Catholics.
Mr. t alk asked the gentleman whether he would
not be good enough to suspend his remarks for the
present, and allow the roll call to go on? (treat
laughter.]
Mr. Letcher—Why, is anybody hurt ? [Renewed
laughter.]
Mr. Eustis was about to conclude when the gen
tleman from New York interrupted him. He wish
ed the House to understand that he was address
ing the national American party, and not the Dem
ocratic, and he wanted that party to understand
distinctly where he stood on this question. He
was no Catholic ; he had been in a Catholic church
but three or four times in his life, hut he wanted
to see justice done them. If the eighth article
meant nothing, why not strike it out '• It was a
blot on the history of the country, and had driven
thousands from the rank of the American partv
who, in other respects, sided with it. The Ameri
can people were a generous people, and would nev
er unite in a crusade against American Catholics;
and he, for his part, would rather that his right
arm should wither than lend its aid to a partv
whose direct purpose was such proscription. Gen
tlemen talk about “Papal-power.” They could not
point him te an instance where a Catholic priest,
or an accredited agent of the Pope of Rome, had
ever held a seat in Congress, and yet he blushed to
see the professors of the Protestant religion pol
luting their robes by dragging them in the mire
of politics. The istate legislatures were full of
black robes and white cravats, [laughter,! and
Congress was ever filled with the same gentrv,
shouts of laughter.] He wanted to know where
they got there authority from for thus black-ball
ing theirpeers and equals, the American Catholics,
stamping them as mere tools of the Pope of Rome,
and considering them as unworthy of being in the
councils of the country? Did they find it in the
Constitution or in the treaty between France and
the United States, in which the territory of Louis
iana was ceded to this country, the religious right*
of the inhabitants being guaranteed to them? Did
they find in the farewell address of the Father of
his Countav- that address so often quoted bv the
orators of the American party —or did they find it
in that great book, the Bible, on which so much
veneration had been bestowed so unprofitable in
the Philadelphia platform ? Great laughter.
He would tell gentlemen where they found it. In
the teachings and in the inspiration of that dark
spirit of fanaticism which is the curse of the An
glo-Saxon race.
Mr. Smith, of Alabama, felt himself called upon
to make a few remarks in reply to the gentleman
from Louisiana, [ Mr. Eustis, : in reference to the
Catholic portion of the Amet ican partv. That gen
tleman congratulated himself that, although there
were many clergymen here, there was no Roman
Catholic pries!. ‘He thanked God for that, and he
hoped that if the government lived for a thousand
rears there never would be one sent to Congress.
He hoped, with equal fervency, that no clergyman
now occupying a seat, would ever interfere with the
religion of this country as a politician. He asked
that gentleman, or any other gentleman, whether
they could point him to an instance where a Cath
olic priest had been found arrayed on the side of
the people in opposition to a kin* or arbitrary
power.
Mr. Davidson asked the gentleman whether the
Magna Charta had not been proposed bv a priest ?
Mr. Smith replied that it had, and wh'ai of that?
[ Great laughter. Had not the Pope excommuni
cated the King and all who had a hand in that
matter ?
Mr. Florence said that the gentleman from Ala
bama asked to be show n an instance where a priest
had been found arrayed on the side of the people
in opposition to arbitrary power; lie would refer
him to the Irish rebellion of 17;>s, where Father
Murphy, Kearns, Perry, Fitzgerald, and John Hay
were leaders in that rebellion, and fought for pop
ular vighte at Vinegar hill. Great laughter.'
Mr. Taylor, of Louisiana, stated that when the
gentleman from Alabama insisted that the Catho- i
lie clergy were never found arrayed on the side of !
freedom, he forgot history. He" Mr. Taylor held j
in his hand a history of the French revolution of i
1790- —an event in which there was a contest he- !
tween the people and the regal power, and in j
which the Catholic clergy took the side of the poo- I
pie. When the States general were assembled in
consequence of the dreadful evils under which |
France labored at that time, a difficulty arose as to I
the meeting in one body of the three orders, the
nobility, the clergy, and the representatives of the
people. The latter said they would not act unless
the members of the other two bodies united with
them in order to constitute the sovereignty of the
nation. ‘
Ibis demand the nobilitv resisted, and unless 1
somebody yielded and came to the assistance of !
the people, the popular power would have beeu
still without a voice aud their will manacled. In
t na emergency, the Catholic priesthood, bv their |
action, gave to that power voice. In monarchical i
r ranee, m the mid*t of all the feudal glories, and
in the midst of all tlje temptations held out to
them by the hopes es attaining higher dignities in
their profession, the Catholic priesthood joined the
third estate, and gave motion and power to the
popular element which achieved freedom for France.
[Applause. I
Mr. Walker, of Alabama, agreed with the gen
tleman from Louisiana : Mr Eustis] in all that he
had said in to the Bth" article of the
Philadelphia platform. IJe said that, however
much attached lie might be to the fundamental
principles on which the American party was based,
if he believed that the idea of religious proscrip
tion was to be the exclusive policy of that party,
he would iu a moment cut himself loose from it.
He was at all times prepared to frown down—ave,
fight against—any attempt, whether made by his
party- or any other party, to abridge the rights' per
taining to all men in this land, he cared not to
what church they belonged. Contrary sentiments
to these bad been expressed by his colleage, I Mr.
Smith,] and he was unwilling that they should go
out and create the impression that the" State which
he had the honor in part to represent, was in favor
of religious proscription without exception being
taken to them.
Mr. Smith, of Tennessee, said that, inasmuch as
to-morrow was a national holiday, he moved that
when the House adjourn, it adjourn to meet on
Wednesday next.
The question was decided in the negative—yeas
101, nays 107.
Mr. Rage moved that the House do noyv adjourn.
Mr. Keitt moved that when the House adjourn it
adjourn to meet on Thursday next.
Mr. Orr moved to amend 6v striking out “Thurs
day" and inserting “Wednesday.”
The question was taken on the amendment, and
it was agreed fit—yeas 122, nays 88.
The question was then taken on the motion as
amended, and it was agreed to—yeas 102, nays 90.
On motion of Mr. Washburn", of Illiinois, the
House at quarter after 5 o’clock adjourned.

“ The Intellectual Vigor of a People is indicated by
the Character of its Literature.'’
THE CRITERION;
A LITERARY AND CRITICAL WEEKLY JOURNAL,
16 Pages, 4 to,
M*7AS commenced on the third of November,
f I 1855, and lias thus far received very gen
eral approbation. Anxious to extend its influence,
and place it upon a substantial basis of support,
the Publisher desires most earnestly to direct the
attention of the thinking public of America to its
claims upon their consideration.
The main feature of the CRITERION is its Re
views of Current Literature. In this department
are given thorough and able criticisms of all the
most important books as they are issued, pointing
out their chief characteristics’, and indicating their
moral tendencies, llius keeping its readers inform
ed of all new publications which deserve their at
tention.
IT ALSO CONTAINS
Copious Intelligence of Affairs in the Literary
World; Gossip concerning Books and Writers;
Announcements of contemplated Publications; and
Lists of New Books issued in America and Europe.
The Drama, Music, Fine Arts and Science, also
receive attention, and several columns of carefully
selected and agreeable matter are given in each
number. In addition to the above .there is a de
partment of Miscellanea for reading, of an enter
taining character, carefully selected from new books
and the ablest reviews, and a weekly collection of
Notes and Queries, which contains a great variety
of curious and valuable information.
It is confidently believed that a journal such as
the CRITERION, cannot fail to have a good effect
upon our national literature, and to some extent
upon our national character. It xvill be found es
pecially valuable in directing the attention of youth
to works of real excellence, and encouraging an
appreciation for valuable reading, which is being
rapidly destroyed bv the circulation of superficial
and sophistical books. To the reading man the
literary intelligence alone must render it very de
sirable; and to all who wish to promote an im
provement in taste, the encouragement of merit,
and an uncompromising condemnation of vicious
style, mock sentiment, and evil principles, such an
enterprise canuot- -at least, should not he indif
ferent.
To members of Historical, Literary and Scien
tific Societies, Lyceums and Debating Clubs,
the subjects discussed in this paper will, at all
times, prove of peculiar interest, and it is the de
sign of the editors io thoroughly canvass, from
time to time, those important philosophical ques
tions which agitate all inquiring minds, correcting
false theories, and encouraging profitable investi
gation.
The CRI f ERION is published at $3 pet annum,
payable yearly, half yearly, or quarterly, in ad
vance. specimen copies supplied, on application
to the Publisher. CHARLES R. RODE,
