Election of Speaker.
Below we present our readers with a detail
ed accouut, taken from the Baltimore Ameri
can, of the election of the Speaker:
Mr. Barclay remarked that he had been
averse to anything like coalition with Know
Nothingism whether it came from the North
or the South, and he asked Mr. Aiken wheth
er the latter stood on the democratic caucus
platform; and whether lie had not written a
letter to Humphrey Marshall making pledges
te'the Southern wing of the Know Noth
ings. t , ‘
Mr. Aiken replied—Tam not a candidate.
If -my friends think proper to place me in the
chair I will serve them to the best of my abil
ity.
Mr. H. Marshall—l have only to say that
Mr. Aiken lias addressed me no letter what
ever. [Applause and cries of call the roll ]
futenSe excitement.now existed in all parts
of the Hall while the House proceeded to the
final -vote under the-plurality resolution.
Mr Marshall during the roll call congratu
lated his American friends that they had fought
fight and conquered. There was no
democratic candidate now in the field with an
offe-nsive caucus platform. Performing his du
ty Ts a patriot •and not as a oardzan lie voted
far Mr. Aiken.
Mr. Walker also voted the same way, es
Teeming Mr Aiken a man of no stain ofparti
■'sanism on -tiis skirts—a, man who has not
r sOUglft-effice but .to whom office is tendered
it and is true to the Constitution.
Mr. Pain and Mr. Bindley also voted for
Mr. Aiken, knowing lim to be a National
•?nan.
Mr.-Smith, of Alabama, voted for Mr. Ai
•ken under protest.
©thor.gentlemen mainly sought an opporta,
nity for Amid the contusion
K severdlgentlemen changed their vote and for
so doing were greeted v\ ith applause. There
‘‘were impatient cries of ‘announce the vote ’
•The -lobbies were crowded to suffocation
aodThe'-cxcitement was increased by the start
ling that a boy was being crushed to death
by the pressure iii the galleries. Some mem
‘Ugre jricd'fall back,’others ‘hand him over the
‘rail? Finally the boy was relieved from his
imminent danger. ‘Announce the vote,’ was
il agtfru shouted from all sides of the House.—

Mr. A K, Marshall, raised the question
that Banks was not elected. The clerk had
no power to announce such results. It must
be declared by a vote of the House.
The clerk explained,giving his reasons which
appeared to be satisfactory for his conduct,
Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, appealed to the hon
or of gentlemen to carry the plurality resolu
tion into effect and end the disgraceful strug
gle.
Mr. Cobb, of Georgia, said lie considered
Mr Banks as virtually elected by a majority
of the House under the plurality rule.
Mr. Aiken asked to be allowed to conduct
Mr. Banks as Speaker to the Chair. [Ap
plause.]
There was much confusion during these pro
ceedings.
Mr Smith of Alabama, said he highly ap
predated Mr. Aiken’s request. If'granted,
he thought it would tend to heal divisions and
pour oil on the troubled waters When grown
* up men make a child’s bargain they ought to
stick to it. [Laughter.]
After some debate on this point, in which
Messrs Rust, Clingman, Cobb, of Georgia,
Smith of Alabama, Paine, of .North Carolina,
H Marshall, Campbell of Ohio, Herbert and
Stewart participated, and during which Mr.
4Aiken asked permissiou of the House to con’
duct the gentleman from Masachusetts [Mr.
Banks] to the chair, as the duly elected Spea
ker of the House.
Mr . Clingman offered the following resolu’
tion:
Resolved, That by reason cf the adoption of
the proposition known as the plurality resolu
tion, and the votes taken under it, the Hon.
X*. P. Banks, Jr. of Massachusetts, has been
duly chosen Speaker, aud is hereby so declar
ed:
After some debate, the previous question
was called on the resolution, and seconded,
and ordered to be now put.
The question was taken, and the resolution
was adopted—yeas 156, nays 40.
The clerk appointed Messrs H. M. Fuller,
Aiken and L. D. Campbell, to conduct Mr.
Banks to the chair.
Mr. Banks, amid the most profund silence
succeeded the cheers with Which he was greet
ed, said:
Gentlemen of the House of Representatives:
Before I proceed to complete the acceptance
of the office which you have conferred upon
me, I avail myself of your indulgence to ex
press my obligations for the honor conferred
upon me.
It would afford far greater pleasure wefe it
accompanied by the slightest assurance that
I could bring to the discharge of the arduous
and delicate duties (always difficult, but now
environed with unusal difficulties J any capaci
ty commensurate with their responsibility and
dignity.
I can only say that I shall bear myself, so
far as I am able, with fidelity to the interests
and institutions of the country and govern
ment, and with impartiality, so far as regards
the rights of the members of this House.
I have no personal objects to accomplish.—
1 am animated by the single desire of contrib
uting in some little degree,to the maintenance
of the well established principles of our gov
ernment ill their original American signification
and in developing that portion of the Continent
which we occrpy, so far as we may do so with
in the legitimate power conferred upon us, en
larging and swelling the capacity for benificent
influences, both at home and abroad, and
maintaining in tact and in perpetuity, the in
estimable priviledges transmitted to us.
I am aware that neither myself nor any oth
er man is equal to the perfect accomplishment
of these duties, I am therefore,* as a m m
must be in such a position, a supplicant for
your indulgence and assistance; and I again
return my thanks for the honor which you
have conferred upon me.
At the conclusion of the address there was
deafening and long continued applause.
Three hearty cheers were given for Mr.
Banks, when his friends rushed forward to
congratulate him on Ins good fortune.
The usual oath of Office was then adrninis-*
tered to him by Mr. Giddings.
On motion of Mr. Stanton of Ohio, the fol
lowing resolution was unanimously adopted:
Resolved , That the thanks of this House arc
eminently due, and are hereby tendered, to
John IV. Forney, E-q. for the distinguished
ability, fidelity and impartiality with which he
has passed over the deliberations of the House
of Representatives during the arduous and
protracted contest for Speaker which has just
closed.
On motion of Mr. Cobb, of Georgia, the
House, at 7 o’clock, adjourned,
Tlaat Railroad Iron.
During the political canvass, last fall, the
opposition press and stump orators were loud
mouthed in their vociferations of corruption
and favoritism on the part of the Superinten
dent of the State Road, in the matter of
the sale of old Kailroad iron to to Mobile fk
Girard Railroad, when, it was alleged that a
higher price had been offered by the Thomaston
Railroad Company. The charge was met, at
the time, and disproved to the satisfaction of
every candid and riirh-t minded man in the
Slate. At an early period of the present ses
sion of the Legislature, however, the thing
was attempted to be galvanized into new life,
and Mr. Fambro, of Upson, came forward
with a set of resolutions requiring an investiga
tion into the matter, the consequence of which
has been iliut the matter lias been investigated
and facts developed not very creditable to Mr.
F. himself. As will be observed by the Legis
lative proceedings in another column, the
Governor lias transmitted a message to the
Legislature, with accompanying documents
which amply vindicate the integrity of the
Superintendent from the aspersions of his
political maligners. The letter enclosed,
from Mr. Fambro himself, offering to hush and
kill the charge if lie could share the plunder,
must be decidedly cooling to that gentleman’s
ardor. We hope to be able to lay the docu
ments in full before our readers in a few days.
— Exchange.
The subscribers, composing a minority of
the committee on the Atlanta and other Banks,
being unable to agree with the majority, beg
leave to submit the following Report in regard
to the Bank of the Interior:
The majority appear to infer that SIOO,OOO
in specie lmd not been paid in at the time the
Bank went into operation, mostly from the fact
that tlie first report of the Bank, three months
after it went into operation, showed that on
the Ist of February, 1855, said Bank had on
hand only $12,093 94- On this point we only
deem it necessary to sav that the fact can be
proven, if necessary, by the sworn evidence of
witnesses of the first respectability, that the
SIOO,OOO was in fact paid according to the
requirements of the Charter, before the Bank
went into operation ; and upon this statement
they leave that part of the subject.
On the next point the charter provides
against the disposition of the charter
not against the subscription for stock by non
residents and others. We do not believe as
the majority does, that the subscription for
stock is a disposition of the Charter. And as
to the shares, which stand in the names of resi
dents, and the shares have been paid for ; all
which can, and will be proved, if required.
All which is respectfully submitted.

I LOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
The bll next taken up by the House, was
one appropriating one hundred thousand dol
lars lor the purpose of suitably repairing the
State House.
Air Crook, of Chattooga, offered a substi
tute, appropriating $500,000 for the erection,
of anew Capital, leaving a blank, to be filled
out with the locality. Part of the morning,
and the whole of the afternoon was consumed
in a rambling, ineffectual, general discussion of
this matter. Nearly all spoke, and disregad
ing the will of the majority of the people of
Georgia, expressed in the result of the late
gubernatorial election, to have the Capitol
permanently located at Milledgeville, many
other places were proposeded to (ill the blank.

Tlie Six National Know Nothings.
The six National Know Nothings who persist
ed in voting for Fuller on the last ballot, when the
question was Aikin Or Banks, are
Jacob Broom, of Pennsylvania.
Wm. Millward-, “
Bayard Clark, of New York,
Thomas R. Whitney, “
Elisha. D-. Ciillen, of Delaware-.
H. Wi Davis of Maryland.
There are 91 Know Nothing members from non
slaveholding States. Os these who voted for Ai
kin number 0. Those who voted for Banks are
eighty-odd. The whole nationality of Northern
Know Nothingism is frirly illustrated in the four
above named, viz : Broom, Millward, Clark and
Whitney, who could not vote for Banks, but threw
away their votes to secure his election. Banksdid
not get a Southern vote. Ilis election is the tri
umph of sectionalism. Aikin, on the contrary,
had nineteen Northern democratic votes.
How long will intelligent men of the South af
filiate with such allies as Northern Know Noth,
ings ?—Georgia Telegraph.
Southern Know Nothingism.
Why should Southerners proscribe Cathol
ics and Foreigners ? Do Catholics or For
eigners disturb, or injure society at the South?
Have we not enemies enough at the North to
contend with, without stirring up two other
parties to oppose us? There is but little im
migration to the South, there was no
complaint among us, of either Catholics or im
migrants, until the Know Nothing party arose
at the North. That party has joined the ab
olitionists The proscription of foreigners at
the South,is calculated to alienate their attach
ment from the people, aud the institutions,
who thus proscribe them. The South, alrea
dy in the minority,cannot afford lo lose friends
or make new enemies. She might by pursu
ing the path of common fairness, equity and
justice, make a host of warm and constant
friends We weigh our words as we write. —
V'e mean, that to allure foreigners aud catho
-Ics to this country,by holding it up to them as
the asylum of the appressed,where they would
speedily be admitted to the equal rights of
citizenship; to induce them to settle among us
by such promises,and then to violate our prom
ise, to delay the fruition of citizenship, to de
ny them, when qualified, the equal right to
hold office,aud to proscribe them, forever, for
difference of religion—is a violation of vested
rights,and a palpable departure from fair deal
ing justice and equity. As to those who im
migrate hereafter, we may, without breach of
faith, or moral wrong, prescribe such terms as
we please. They accept the terms by immigra
ting, and cannot complain of injustice howev
er cruel those terms. But in the South, we
know, there is no occasion whatever to change
the treatment, or the law, as to foreigners
and immigrants.
Instead of following the lead of Yankee ab
olitionists, if the South will do what is just and
equitable in this matter, it will display its
wanted steadfastness, consistency and conser
vatism, win the respect and esteem of the
world, and make a host of friends, North aud
South.
Can the democracy, in or out of Congress,
hold terms with our compromise with a party,
that ccolly proposes, by an expost facto pro
ceeding, to cut off from the equal v.ghts of
citizenship a very large and highly respeeta*
able portion of our people ? We say certainly
not.
Ihe Virginia Know Nothings have assert
ed the individuality and free agency of men,
by ceasing to be the oath-bound instruments
of midnight lodges We congratulate them
on the occasion, whilst we regret that the ve
ry equivocal position which they at the same
time,assumed as to the i.otts clique and South
ern rights, seems but the pulling one leg out
of the mire in order to put the other deeper
into it.— Richmond Enquirer.

“You Shouldn’t Eat Meats on a Friday.”—
Quite a circumstance occurred on anew building
in this city yesterday, in consequence of a differ
ence in faith. Two persons, one a German aud
the other an Irishman, at noon went to eating their
dinner side by side, and after pulling out their re
spective lunches, the following colloquy, eudihg by
ground and lofty tumbling, ensued : *
Pat.—-“ What’s that yer ating there, Dutch
man ?”
Hans.— -"Dea ish mine fnittsgegaen.”—(dinner.)
Pat. —“An what the divil is mistengasen, sure ;
is it mate ye mane ?”
Hans.—“Yuli,” said Hans, holding up a beef
steak bone, “yaw, dat ish gotrt.”
Pat.—“An is it mate yer ating on a Friday?”
Hans .--(Biting off a large'chunk,) “Caw, dat
ish goot beef.”
Pat. —“Ye blazing heretic ! would yc ate mate
‘ agin the Pope ?” And seizing his “Masonic” uten
sil, (a trowel,) he dealt Hans a blow on the head
with it, and a general muss ensued. Pat finally
destroyed the “mate the heretic whs ating,” and
established the faith and gave the German a regu
lar pounding—for which Pat appeared this morn
ing to answer the chage. He was fined $lO, which
he paid, thus destroying all hope of a Christmas
dinner, and Friday fish for a month to come.—Buf

The Eleventh Commandment. — At the an
nual exhibition of the Grammar Schools of
Boston, the Hon. Edward Everett closed
an admirable speech with the following anec
dote : The celebrated Archbishop Usher was
in his youngest days, wrecked on she Coast of
Ireland, at a place where his person and char
acter Were alike unknown. (Stripped of every
thing, he wandered to the house of a dignita
ry of the Church, in search of shelter and re
lief, craving assistance as a brother clergyman.
The dignitary, struck with his squalid appear
ance after the wreck, distrusted his tale, and
doubted his character, and said that, so far
from being a clergyman, he did not believe he
could tell how many commandments there
were.
“I can at once satisfy you,” said the Arch
bishop, “that I am not the ignorant imposter
you take me for. There are eleven command
ments ”
This answer confirmed the dignitary in his
suspicions, and he replied with a sneer, “In
deed, there are but ten commandments in my
Bible ; tell- me the eleventh, and I will relieve
you.”
“Here it is,” said the Archbishop, “Anew
commandment I give unto yon, that ye love
one another.”
A person who was recently catted! rrt Cos
court, for the purpose of proving the
correctness of a doctor’s bttP was asked by the
lawyer whether the doctor did not make
several visits after the patient was Out of
danger? “No” replied the witness, “I
considered the patient in danger as longas the
doctor continued his visits-”
Progress of Abolitionism.
At this time, when we have but recently
been informed how oar friends; and tlie friends
of the Constitution, have been stricken down
in the fight by an unsciffipitlbus majority;
and how a party, avowedly hdstile tB us and
our institutions, has finally triumphed in the
popular branch of may we recnr
to the rise and progress of that sentiment
which now controls a high department of our
Government and threatens the peace of an en
tire section of the country.
It was in the yeas lßss that Systematic at
tacks were first made lipdri the peculiar insti
tutions of the fcoutb, with thexiew of disturb
ing the existing relations between its two ra
ces. Before that time, ifi Consequence of the
financial tendency of the Northern mind, there
had .sprung up a feeling of hostility to African
slavery, but this did not exhibit itself ill ac
tion until a later period. Finally; however,
abolition societies were organized,- abolition
presses established and abolition lecturers
sent forth to fan the rising flame’ fanaticism.
Then began with the warfare of o lit’ section
which is still continued. Next earrte petitions
to Congress from the North to abolish slavery
in the District of Columbia, and to prohibit
the ‘internal slave trade’ between the States.
The position having been received, the work
of agitation commenced in earnest, and the
band of fanatics grew gradully stronger. We
next find them controling several of the North
ern Legislatures, and bringing about the ab
rogation , in effect, of that clause of the Con
stitution which provides for the delivery of
fugitive slaves. Next they call upon Congress
to abolish slavery in all places where that
body has exclusive power of legislation. Then
followed petitions and audicious resolutions of
popular assemblages as well as legislative
bodies to exclude southern members of the
confederacy from newly acquired territory,
and to prevent the admission of any more slave
States in the Union.
In the meantime, that party originally small
in number, was growing in strength and influ
ence, and has continued to grow until now it
exerts a controlling influence over the North
ern masses, The sentiment of anti-slavery is
indeed instilled into the minds, and lodged in
the very hearts if the Northern people. It
is preached from the pulpit,and furnishes texts
for political sermons It is taught in schools,
and affords objects for youthful declamation
It eminat.es from the chair of the professor,
and offers themes for grave discourses. It per
vades both legislative and executive councils,
and has evert effected judicial decisions. It
has called into beiug a large and powerful and
dominant party. And lastly, it has entered
the halls of the United States House of Rep
resentatives, find occupied the Speaker’s
chair.
Such has been the progress of fanaticism up
to this time, and who can doubt that unless
opposed by some effective measure, it will con
tinue to move on to the accomplishment of its
fell purposes. And now, we would ask, how
long will the southern States remain passive
under such unmistakable evidences of a deter
mination on the part of the North to drive
them to humiliation and ruin ? Will they
continue to seek redress in resolutions, in
pledges, in threats, in unmeaning conventions?
Will they defer a close union among them
selves until abolitionism shall enter the Sen
ate hall, and rise to the Presidential chair?—
Notv that the House of Representatives is ab
litionized and under tlie control of their bitter
enemies, Will not the imperilled States of the
South draw near together in close fellowship?
Now that the common dangei threatened
them, will not the voice of action be hushed
within their borders, and wliigs, democrats,
and Americans all unite to form one pafty—
the party of the South and the Constitution?
Let us have this consummation so devoutly
to be wished for, and the Southern States
shall become strong. Then, like the barons
of England in similar circumstances, shall they
be able to demand their rights under the mag
na charla of tlie land, or failing to secure
these, to dissolve their connexion with a hos
tile and lawless section. Glorious, indeed,
according to our views, would be the results
of Southern Union Let this measure but be
perfected, and we will have attained political
ly, the ‘one thing needful ’ Strength and con
fidence shall then succeed to doubt and weak
ness, and we of the South be able to ‘go forth
to meet the shadowy future without fear and
with a manly heart?— Southcarolian.
A Railroad Law is up before the New Jersey
Legislature similar in features to the law now
bier.g discussed by the Pennsylvania Legisla
tnre._ It provides for the creation of an officer
of roailroad companies,- to be called a train
Guard; charged with the special duty of
watching over the safety of trains. It makes It
unlawful tor persons to cross railroads when
an engine is near. It limits the amount of
damages which maybe recovered in cases of
death by accident to SSOOO for each person
killed- It makes railroad employees, causing
death by negligence or mismanagement,, guilty
of manslaughter.
General Walker’s Early Love.—Wc find the
subjoined episode in the early life of the Nicara
guan hero in an exchange paper f
The history of General Walker,like that of all
other men of mark, is not free from the romance
of love jls well as war. Whilst a law student in
New Orleans, he conceived a warm attachment for
a Very interesting young lady, who was born deaf
and dumb.,; She had been Well educated, and was
of very engaging manners. Her misfortune drew
towards her the sympathies and regard of all
tender hearted persons. With his characteristic
OTigitmlity and peculiarity of feeling and sentiment-
Watkef became warmly enamored of this young
lady. She reciprocated his regard, and for some
time they were never happy unless together. He
soon acquired a knowledge Ofher sigfis, atid they
conversed with great facility, the medium of their
convention, no doubt, adding best to their enjoy,
ment. At last, some slight misunderstanding inter
rupted their intercourse, and before a reconciliation
could be effected, the young lady died. This event
gave a tinge of melancholy to the thoughts and
character of Walker. Perhaps, as many of his
friends thought, it produced the great change in
his character which ensued—a change frofn the
quiet, modest student, to the bold, daring, daunt
less revolutionist and warrior.

pain in my side and brbast for a long time, and after try.
ing iiiany remedies, came to the conclusion that my liver
was affected. I immediately commenced using Dr. M’Lane’s
Celebrated Liver Pills., and the few that I have taken have
already given me more relief than all the medicines I have
taken put together. I went to a clairvoyant to consult him
—after examining me carefully, he advised me to continue
the use of Dr. M’Lnnb's Pills, that they would effectually
cure me. W. W. PHILLIPS, No. 2, Columbia Place.

DENTISTRY.
DR S. CLARK & EMERSON.
HAVING formed a copartnership in the
I S T R Y,
would respectfully tender their services to the public. Dr.
E. besides being an experienced operator, is a graduate of
the Philadelphia College of Ucotai Surgery, and brings
with him all the improvements in the practice of Dentistry.
The high testimonials and beautiful specimens of Dr. E.
show that he lias spared neither time nor expense to arrive
at proficiency.
‘The numerous operations of Dr. Clark, which continue
to give satisfaction,besides the many premiums awarded
him at our State Fairs, should offer some ifiducCtotnts to
those that are in need of his service.
Neither time nor expense shall be spared in performing
all operations in the most beautiful and durable manner.-
At the same time while they consider it better to pay a Irijti
more to have teeth saved, than a trifle less to have them
ruined, their charges shall not be higher than the same
kind of operations would command at the North.
