Ammons 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 Meehienburg, Germany, for the United States, driven here bv persecution. And when they get here, they will be fortunate if they do not engage 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 a similar donation, besides regularlv contributing annually, sot several rear* past th« mm of s.vjo. Congressional. 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: Whole number of votes, 214; necessary to a choice, 108 ; of these— Mr. Banks received, 09; Richardson, 73; 11. M. Fuller, 3<>; Pennington, 6; Scattering, 6. There being no choice, the House proceeded to a ninety-seventh vote, with the following result: \\ hole number of votes, 214; necessary to a choice, 108 ; of these— Mr. Banks received 97 ; Richardson, 73; H. M. Fuller, 30; Pennington, 8 ; Scattering, ti. 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. Items.

The total expense of the late Railway Festival at Toronto, Canada, amounted to quite $20,000, and that sum, and even more, was generously contribu ted hv the citizens. Some of the merchants gave S2OO each, and were so well pleased with the af fair that they offered to double their subscriptions if necessary to meet the expense. After defraying all expenses, there was a surplus of S6OO in the hands of the Committee, which was given to the poor of the city. During the month of November there were no less than four hundred and thirty-three arrest iu San Francisco.

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.
